Scenic Hotels in Oslob

"The staff were very friendly, and the location is super close to the whale shark village. The only downside is having to climb stairs, which can be quite tiring. The staff will help you with your luggage, and they'll even flag down a bus for you when you leave."

"Fantastic stay and real island getaway!  View and waters are amazing, food was included in our stay (breakfast and dinner) and there are many free activities to take part. The view are spectacular! The rooms were clean and spacious for 2 pax- can fit up to 4 pax.  Favorite activity was to fish from the lagoon and watch the baby shark (white shark) feeding at 1130am and chilling at the hammock infront of the rooms.  Massages are quality if you want some wave asmr as they are done in the outdoor huts but only can do 1 hour blocks and require quick booking/advance booking as the masseuses are limited.  wifi connections are good islandwise but it’s more of chillax resort. The rooms have netflix and youtube.  do bring some night snacks or simple lunch as their restaurants close early at 9pm and ferry out are only during the lunch time"

"My friend and I stayed for 3 nights in February. This is an amazing, soulful place to relax. The staff were very attentive and provided everything we needed to feel comfortable. Excellent, delicious breakfasts, a swimming pool, easy access to the sea, and unlimited coffee/tea. Special thanks to the massage therapist, a true professional ❤️ The hotel offers a free 30-minute massage for stays of 3 nights or more. Highly recommend 🫶"

"Our family stayed at this hotel for 5 days at the end of March and we were very happy with our experience. It's a very quiet and cozy hotel right on the ocean, with a fantastic view from the dining area. Our room was small, but the beds and mattresses were comfortable. There was always hot water. The room windows faced a shared corridor, but this wasn't an issue for us; we enjoyed the sea views from the common area while sipping on complimentary coffee or a glass of rum. The dining area is equipped with dishes (plates, mugs, cutlery) and a refrigerator where you can store food and drinks, plus ice is always available in the freezer for beverages. There's no stovetop for cooking, but you can order takeout from a nearby restaurant through the hotel, or bring your own food. You can also rent a motorbike at the hotel for 500 pesos per day. The owners are incredibly warm and helpful people, always ready to assist. Upon arrival, they arranged our airport transfer from Cebu for 5000 pesos. They also organized tours for us to see whale sharks (1000 pesos/person for the ticket), Sumilon Island (500 pesos/person), and Tumalog Falls (6 pesos/person for the ticket, plus 500 pesos/person for transportation). We were very pleased with the tours and the guidance, a big thank you to Baby, the hotel owner, for organizing everything. We decided to visit Moalboal independently, which turned out to be quite easy. The bus stop is located next to a 7/11 store; just wait for a light green bus and take it to the final stop, Bato Terminal (60 pesos per person). From there, transfer to another bus heading to Moalboal (138 pesos per person). Once in Moalboal, take a tricycle to the beach. We used D'Greco Hotel as a landmark; it's right on a beach where you don't need to pay to swim with sardines and turtles – you just walk into the water, swim out to the reefs, and enjoy. The tricycle ride to the hotel cost us 200 pesos for three people. Before entering the coastal area, there's a tourist fee of 25 pesos per person. Near our hotel, there's a tour desk where we booked a canyoneering trip to Kawasan Falls, and it was unforgettable! It cost 1900 pesos per person and included lunch. Overall, we loved it. Returning to Ocean View Lodging House in Oslob felt like coming home. The owners were happy to see us back. The next day, we were scheduled to go to Panglao, and Baby, the owner, booked our ferry tickets for us. All in all, our impressions of the hotel and its owners are overwhelmingly positive. An excellent hotel for an excellent price."

"Excellent hotel right on the beachfront. The food was beyond amazing, and the prices were a pleasant surprise. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip. However, in the morning, we inquired about getting to a spot where you can swim with sharks – it was only 1.2 km away, but they quoted us 1000 pesos for a taxi!!! We declined, walked out to the road ourselves, and hailed a Jeepney, which took us there – for just 15 pesos! Seriously, folks, 15 pesos!"

"Beautiful hotel. There's a small pool, but we didn't use it. There's no beach; access to the sea is through a gate and down concrete stairs. During our stay, the access was closed due to strong waves. Breakfast was modest but decent. The room is small, for 3 people. There are 2 pillows per person. Soap, shampoo, and a toothbrush are provided. There was a damp smell from the sink, and the entrance to the bathroom was small. It's 50 pesos by Tuktuk to Oslob town center. To the whale sharks, it's 30-40 minutes and 300 pesos. An intercity bus passes by on the street, which is very convenient if you need to go to Moalboal or Cebu."

"It was a good two nights stay at the inn. It was understandable that their resto is closed as it was new year's eve and new year. I like the place's vibes. The rooms might need additional hooks or hanging cabinets maybe. Staff are nice and helpful."

"The hotel is quite far from the whale shark swimming spot, and our transportation costs ended up being much higher than we expected. On top of that, we had to go twice because the first time we arrived around 10:00 AM, the swimming sessions were already over, and we missed out. We were also pretty shocked by the damp and unwashed towels. The food selection isn't huge, but what they do make is delicious. The main highlight is the ocean with turtles."

"A small, intimate hotel with direct sea access. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side and a little worn; the showerhead wasn't working very well. There was a lot of dog barking from neighboring houses in the mornings. The à la carte breakfast is standard, enough to get you started. You can also have dinner there at a reasonable price."

"Nice, cheap place to stay. Right on the water and has a decent pool with bar and restaurant. About 15 minutes away from whale shark area. Only complaint is that the WiFi isn’t great... went in and out of service entire stay"
