Best Oslob Hotels

"Wonderful hotel! The views are stunning! The staff helps with transfers. The beach has some rocks, but it's not a problem as they are large. The water is clean and clear. Turtles even swim up to the beach! The only thing is its cliffside location. To get to your room, the beach, or out to the street, you'll need to use stairs, some of which are quite steep. If you have mobility issues, a heart condition, or struggle with endurance, this might not be the place for you. But if you're fine with that, definitely book it! You won't regret it! (Well, except for all the constant stair climbing, haha)."

"The place in 10 minutes by car to sharks, great hotel owners, we had a small room with a common toilet, but no one in the department lived except us so we didn't notice the difference. In the morning, as everywhere in the Philippines, the puppies scream , but it was tolerable. From the downsides this blanket was very short and synthetic, as well as synthetic towels."

"The location is excellent, not far from where they take you to see the whale sharks. The hotel provides round-trip transfers, but you can also walk about 500 meters in 10 minutes, though it's along the road. The price for the whale shark tour from the hotel with transfer is 1000 pesos; without transfer, it's 500 pesos per person if you book on site. The rooms are spartan, with nothing but a bed and a table. There's a water heater in the shower, but it doesn't quite do its job. However, for 3,000 rubles, if you just came to see the whale sharks, spend a night, and leave, it's perfectly justifiable. The hotel has a restaurant where you can grab a bite, and nearby there's a pier with boats that can take you to a small, opposite island with white coral sand. This hotel is really just for a 1-2 night stay."

"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 🫶"

"The place was so clean and safe. It has a private parking. But the breakfast was so late. We were are not able to eat. Next time prepare it early and prioritize the current customer at the hall rather than serving the food when it is all done cooking. The rest is good."

"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."

"From our arrival to the end of our stay the hotel staff were very helpful and attentive. The room was clean, however the air-con temperature setting could not be controlled by the remote control or on the machine itself. It was set to 24 all the time. Bathroom was adequate too. The restaurant had two areas, indoor and outdoor, both brilliant to see the sun rise in the morning. Food was great! The massage chair was an extra treat. An elevator would be great to help guests going up floors especially for seniors and those who have knee problems as the hotel has 3 floors and the stairs are quite steep with each step. The swimming pool was cool but lacked extra deck chairs due to space restrictions."

"We read a lot of negative reviews about the hotel but decided to take a chance. For the price, it's a perfectly decent hotel. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are fine and clean. The internet is pretty good. There's no hot water, but that's mentioned in the description. The entrance for shark swimming is just 100 meters away. It gets crowded before lunch, but after that, only a few tourists remain in Tanawan, so you can swim peacefully outside the shark area or go to the waterfall, which is about 3 km from the hotel (it closes at 3:30 PM). Since the hotel (like most in Tanawan) is located along the road, it can be noisy, so try to get a room not facing the road."

"The hotel is located near the road and is very noisy, so bring earplugs. Breakfast is always available at a reasonable price. It's not overly generous, but you can definitely get scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage. Instant coffee is the only option. The rooms aren't very clean, and housekeeping isn't always good. The location is very convenient for visiting waterfalls and sharks. The room rates are low, so it would be unfair to nitpick. The pool was always ours alone in the evenings, and guests didn't stay long. The staff was very helpful, always helpful with any questions, and if something wasn't right, they fixed it. Wi-Fi only works at reception and by the pool. Cell phone service is always good. Prices for all services are very affordable."

"The hotel was right on the road, easy for transportation to look around. The stuff was very nice with us... The room was tidy and clean with a nice view"
