Property is really good value for your money. It is close to the whale sharks. Juvy will be your new best friend if you stay at their property. She’s been extremely helpful from day 1 when I first made the reservation and very responsive, always reachable when you need her. She also took care of our canyoneering adventure to kawasan falls in badian. I would really recommend this place to anyone going to oslob. It’s is not a five star location but you shouldn’t expect a place like the ritz Carlton if you’re visiting a small town in Cebu. Service is five star and Juvy is wonderful!

It's a nice place to stay, the staff are very accommodating and helpful even in finding tour packages. The room is clean and beds are large.

I like that its only 10-15 minutes away from the briefing area for the Whaleshark Watching. Grace, the attending staff, was also helpful as she provided tips on the costs of tours and public transportation.

Shower is so weak, breakfast was really bad! No wifi!
It's a good place to be if you just want to do the whale shark tour and leave, that what i was doing. Besides that, there is nothing around. The whale shark view point is 5min from there, they set everything up to you van, boat, everything. Room was ok.

Room missing basic things like an actual blanket or sheet ( you just sleep on the mattress cover). No hooks or anywhere to put your cloths ( just used the floor). Pillows are terrible lol Wifi doesn’t work AT ALL - they should just remove that they have wifi because they don’t ...! Toilet missing seat cover( this isn’t a big deal but with everything else...! ) overall staff will answer your questions but you get the impression that you are bothering them.
The property is located in a good area , about a 10-15 minute walk to the whale shark watching. Really cute restaurants in the area ( go to Choobi Choobi and save n stay ).

The WiFi was really bad, first it didn’t work at all and said it needed to be reloaded like it had run out of data, then when it was working (after explaining to 3 members of staff) it was painfully slow we couldn’t actually use it, but that was only a problem as we needed it to book our next accommodation, the restaurant down the road had really good WiFi.
The staff were really friendly, the room was really clean and comfy and the food here was tasty and reasonably priced so it was exactly what we needed as there is not a lot close by (other than the whalesharks which was a 15 min walk down the road so we didn’t need to book a tour, but we went at 7am and had to wait till 10am,the tours seemed to skip the ques so may be worth paying for)
