Oslob Seafari Resort Reviews

Very beautiful resort , amazing view but there a lot of stairs. Not recommended for elders, young children and non-athletic people. But the rest is very beautiful. The food was excellent. The staff very sweet, the direct view to the beach is breathtaking. The resort is very close to the whale shark watching. Highly recommend if the stairs are not a problem for you. Had the blessing to see the beautiful sunrise from our room’s balcony.

I booked a room with 2 single beds, arrived on site and there is no double bed , I had to “upgrade” to a room with AC to get 2 beds and was charged for it despite my complaint to the management. The cleaning of the room was clearly not there even for Filipinos standards. The shower is weak I got a plastic glass to rince my mouth that was melted by cigarette ash The activities are over charged They won’t organise a scooter rental for you The only upside was the two lovely students here on weekends. Shouldn’t need to mention more about the stairs as you can see from previous photos but that’s tough even for a 35yo healthy men. Location is about 1km away from the whale shark spot so you can actually find a closer hotel to there so you don’t need to book a tour to get there. The food was nice

The view is very beautiful. The staff is vey friendly and welcoming. The room is big enough and comfortable. However, the floor is a bit sticky and water in the shower is scarce. To get to the gate you need to walk up to and down so many steps which is very tiring.

Oslob seafari resort is an outstanding but very affordable hotel located in the south part of Cebu (Oslob) in the Philippines. You can perfectly plan to stay one or two nights of your holidays in this place to enjoy all the landmarks and activities around the hotel. The Whaleshark watching activity is really close, 5 minutes by motorcycle. The staff are friendly and rooms have basic amenities including air conditioning, free wifi, toiletries, towels, toothbrush, and complimentary water. The hotel has three outdoor swimming pools with great views to sea. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars within 10 min or less walking distance.

The location and setup is good for getting to the whale sharks early. The long stairs down the cliff to the resort means it’s very secluded from the main road. It’s good for a one night stay. There isn’t enough going on in the area to warrant staying longer. The sun goes early here.

Lthe structure of the hotel is not relaxing. Too high from the gate and to the room . For th favilities of room not good the aircon is too Low and light is too dark

The stairs with at least 7-8 levels up the hill to go out of the hotel everyday is a nightmare. Do expect 70% of food from menu are not available daily. No housekeeping unless staying more than 3 days. No changing of bath towel, no swimming towel although it’s a beach side resort and swimming daily is a must do activity. U required to pay 100peso for a towel. Both of us had skin allergy due to the cleanliness, sticky floor, extremely dim bathroom with mold and unclean bedsheet. The location, the seaside view is amazing. It was unforgettable experience swimming with whale shark. The resort only 5 mins away from the whale shark tour center. The staffs in hotel are friendly. It’s a shame that it could be a nice hotel but overall lack of maintenance.

Nice location Nice food (the restaurant is amazing) lot of choices Quite atypical with all these stairs to reach the reception and the rooms If you are lucky, you can see whale sharks passing by the resort Very good experience

Spectacular location and views. The staff is friendly and helpful. The stairs are challenging for those who are unfit and discouraging even for the fit to go get a good cup of coffee at the local coffee shop in. The food is good and my room was nice, but there’s a problem with ants/bugs and probably needs more frequent bug spraying. This is a 3 star resort that is an amazing property. I will definitely come again.

Located in remote location and need to climb more than 200 steps up and down to the hotel. The room is large and comfortable. Food is just okay.

This quaint little resort is situated in perfect distance from the whale sharks and island tour across the water. This hotel is not for the faint hearted, as you do have to climb up a few flights of stairs on the outside to get down and up, but if you’re here for a day or two it’s a great place to watch the sunrise and spend a relaxing day. The hotel has pool facilities and a great bar menu, which served the best fruit shakes and appetizing meals, local and foreign. The room itself is basic and although there were more than a few bugs, if you’re wearing mosquito spray and do not leave food in the room, you’ll be fine!

The food is good the crew is kind the facilities is clean

Staffs are friendly and helpful, the location is have great view to the sea. The only concern are the stairs to get into there. But if you are on vacation you are already in the cardio mood , get ready for some exercise

The place needs to remodeled. It’s run down. And the employees don’t really work. You always had to find someone to help you. I had no running water no coffee maker or water in my room the door wouldn’t shut properly the offer snorkel gear but don’t have any gear. They need new management to or owner. The place has greet potential
