Oslob Seafari Resort Reviews

We loved our stay at Seafari! The place looks like something out of a postcard—perched under a cliff with dreamy views and its own little private beach. Now, full disclosure: to get there, you’ll have to conquer what felt like a thousand stairs (okay, maybe just 50 meters of cliffside steps, but our legs don’t know the difference). Totally worth it though! The staff was super friendly, the vibe was relaxed, and everything felt peaceful and private. If you're up for a bit of a leg workout and want a quiet slice of paradise, this is your spot.

Great location just prepare yourself for the steps friendly staff

We spent 1 night in a hotel for a shark swimming. The staff was very helpful, organised everything we needed, food was tasty, the place has beautiful view! Just be aware that no wifi in rooms and the leader to the hotel entrance/exit is really high (but no worries they help with your luggage).

The place was amazing. Definitely worth the prize. It’s priced according to how it looked. In the afternoon we watched the sunset and sunrise in the morning. The staff was amazing. They were friendly. The room was clean. The food was great! The stairs are a lot, yes😭

Although this hotel is between ‘ports’ that make up the Cebu coast and between the whale watching areas, I’d highly recommend this place. After requesting a room with a view, I was not disappointed! My own private balcony overlooking the beach and waves lapping to send me off to sleep. Arriving late, the amazing and friendly staff kept the kitchen open for me and I was reminded of the friendly reputation of the Philippines people. Now one surprise was the 250 odd steps one needs to get to your rooms - but the view alone is worth it and the staff have a pulley system to send your luggage up or down for your convenience! And silver lining, the steps means no need for holiday exercise!

It's a pretty good place for a night or two for friends or solo travelers. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful. The only problem is many many steps. So if you have some physical issues, it might be pretty challenging going up and down. Otherwise it's doable. P.s. very close to Whale sharks center! However, my friendly advice skip Oslob. There's a much better place in Bohol/ Panglao for swimming with whale sharks. Much less people and less commercial.

The staff were very nice very approachable.. Will visit again soon🥰

you have to take 250 steps down to your room, Luggage went through zipline. Then they dont have good food options so we have to climb up 250 stairs steps again. The travel itself was annoying and none on the rooms have relaxing feel. Looks more like scary as they dnt have proper lighting. The stairs are steep and not advisable for weak knees.

Friendly stuff and felt welcome and arrived along with good price for the swimming with whale shark

I had an accident and couldn’t arrive and they refused to cancel rooms.

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.
