Island Front - Bangcogon Resort and Restaurant Reviews

Fantastic staff and service. They arranged tours and drivers and we had all meals there. Amazing place and great value!

Very friendly staff and well informative about activities and transportation. Highly recommended if planning a whale shark watching and Sumilon Island.

The owner and staff here are amazing, if you are doing whale watching and Sumilon island I recommend this hotel, they shuttle you to the whale watching site and help you register and and then they will take you back to the hotel 100% recommend if you want to do those activities. The only downside is the towels we received was not very absorbent. If you want to go to sumilon island it’s 1500 pesos for a boat but if you share with 8 others it will be cheaper.

Last minute rented this place out because I needed a place to stay close to the Oslob Whale Shark Watching and it was one of the best decisions made. It was only a 3 minute car ride away. I was with my family and we rented the 8 beds (4 bunk beds) room. Room was clean, cold, and comfortable. Price came with breakfast too. Definitely worth your money.

The Island Front Resort is highly recommended if you are planning on staying in the Oslob area and/or are planning on seeing the whale sharks there. The Island Front Resort rooms are pretty basic, but very clean and located right on the water. It was definitely a very nice treat to eat dinner and breakfast facing the clear blue ocean and Sumilon Island, which is another tourist attraction. The staff are very friendly and helpful. As a matter of fact, if you plan on going to see the whale sharks, the staff will arrange transportation for you (at a very fair price) and even fast track you on the boat line with a complimentary guide, which will save you time and eliminate some confusion when you get there. The food (both the dinner and complimentary breakfast) was very good and priced very reasonably. I was hoping for just a clean basic room to sleep in (which I did get), but the good and fairly priced food and being fast tracked on the whale shark line were definitely nice surprise bonuses!! 😊

ITS A NICE PLACE, CLOSE TO THE WHALE SHARK, FOOD IS CHEAP AND VERY DELICIOUS INDEED.

Will possible recommend this resort to my friends.

We had a nice stay!! Location right by the sea with views to Sumilon Island! Perfect for taking the ferry to Sumilon and for Oslob Whale shark Trip! Rooms are very basic, but clean!! The restaurant is good and breakfast also!! There is nothing else really, so it's ok for one or two nights!

Very professional, the people here are so nice, and respond to all your needs immediately. The food was delicious. The front desk really did everything they can do to help us. 5 minutes to the whale shark by tuktuk. but you have to wait for awhile because there are too many tourists.

Good kindly

Friendly, good service.

Very friendly staff. They will bring and take you, help you. Thanks to their company we got to swim with sharks early

The room is very clean, you can see the sea while sitting on the bed, it is convenient to order food, the price is reasonable, and there is a full package to watch whale sharks, the service price is not expensive, all very good.

Everything else is OK. The room is very ordinary, but the service is very good. Just stay here. You need to drive to the snorkeling spot. The breakfast is very ordinary, but the service is still OK.
