one of the better locations if you are stuck to whale watching. very accessible to port area, tumalog falls and whale watching point. the sunrise and sunsets at the bangcogon resort are just as beautiful

The Hotel staff was very accommodating. They gave us the early check-in upon request. Entire staff was very kind to us. The lady at concierge even optimized our itinerary and bookings for kawasan falls, whale shark watching, Sumilon Island Trip, Tumilog Falls. Property is available at quite place.

That was the best experience! We arrived by ferry from Panglao to Oslob early morning. Came to hotel. Even check-in time was 14:00, the host took our luggage and opened the room earlier. It was 9 am, so we even managed to go to whale sharks same morning. Shuttle from hotel took us to place, where special guide meet us and guided to boat. Everything was fast, we didn’t stand in a line, no waiting at all. Also hotel organises tours to Sumillon island and Turmalog falls. Exceptional service! Rooms are comfortable, very clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

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!! 😊

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!
