Cheap Hotels in Oslob

"The thing about the stairs need to be taken into consideration because it's A LOT of stairs. I really thought that people were exaggerating but it's almost a wall of China! completely worth it since you are down. Beautiful ocean! Full of turtles. and super comfy room. Best pillow in the whole Philippines. I was just upset because some guests were puting their music really loud on the common area, this is so disrespectful with others.. you can sleep with the sea sound and listen to the sea during the day unless people make you listen to Justin Bieber and pop USA music super loud.. the staff also listen to loud videos on their phone. .. so when I complained it was really hard for them to take some action and ask the other guests to put their volume down... The sun chairs are super comfy but only some of them are in the shade under a tree.. some umbrellas could be provided."

"HONEST EXPERIENCE and Please read for the CONS🧡 Bluewater Sumilon Island is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful resorts we’ve visited. The private island setting, surrounded by clear waters, creates a unique and relaxing experience. We also appreciated that the resort provides complimentary boat transfers for checked-in guests. The transfer was smooth, organized, and only took around 15 minutes. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with complete amenities and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Although our assigned room was quite far from the main areas, the resort’s shuttle service helped make transportation easier. The food exceeded our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were served buffet-style, offering a wide variety of choices. Everything was well-prepared and enjoyable. One of the highlights of our stay was the staff. The activity guides, lifeguards, restaurant staff, and service personnel were consistently warm, welcoming, and accommodating. They were approachable and attentive to our requests throughout our stay. We also had an unexpected medical situation involving one of our senior companions, and we were grateful that there was a nurse on duty. The assistance and care provided were professional and reassuring, especially since the incident happened in the evening. However, there were also areas that could be improved. Our experience with the reception staff was disappointing compared to the excellent service provided by the rest of the team. Communication felt rushed, and at times multiple guests were being addressed simultaneously, which came across as unprofessional and less welcoming. The resort shuttle service also seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. With many guests needing transportation around the island, waiting times became longer. Adding more service vehicles could significantly improve convenience, especially for seniors, children, and guests with mobility concerns. Our biggest concern was the lack of exclusivity despite the resort’s positioning as a premium private island destination. The resort accommodates a large number of day-tour guests who share many of the same facilities. As a result, areas such as the sandbar, swimming pools, and lounge spaces often felt crowded. There were times when finding available benches or fully enjoying the facilities became difficult because of the volume of day visitors. For a resort that markets itself as a luxury private island experience, this was quite disappointing. While we understand the value of day tours for the business, overnight guests paying premium rates should ideally enjoy a more exclusive experience and better access to resort facilities. Overall, Bluewater Sumilon Island offers stunning scenery, excellent food, comfortable accommodations, and outstanding service from most of its staff. However, improvements in guest exclusivity, transportation availability, and front desk service would greatly enhance the overall experience and better justify its premium pricing."

"The staff were excellent! They checked us in quickly and were very polite, and overall, everything was customer-oriented! The view from the common lounge area is stunning; it's a real pleasure to sit on a chair and gaze at the sea. There's a great path with steps down to the sea, BUT the water itself is a bit dirty and has seaweed, which hides a huge number of sea urchins. The room itself is simple and small. There's a fantastic new air conditioner. There's a boiler, but hot water doesn't always come out of it. There are few outlets, and they are strangely placed."

"The hotel is great. It's small, with only six rooms, which creates a really cozy atmosphere. It's tough to find hotels off the main road near Oslob. So, when I was choosing a place, I also considered easy access to the sea. It can be a bit noisy near the main road, but if you tune that out and just listen to the waves, it's actually quite nice. The pool is excellent, and so is the access to the sea (though you definitely need to wear water shoes, like everywhere else, as most beaches on Cebu Island are rocky). They offer food services, bringing delicious grilled seafood and amazing soups made from it. There's also a BBQ grill available. If you want to explore Filipino cuisine, you'll get a chance here. They offer transparent kayak rides, which are perfect for seeing the seabed. They also arrange tours for swimming with whale sharks and with sardines in Moalboal. The staff are incredibly friendly. The hotel owners also visit and oversee the staff's work."

"We stayed here for one night before our shark excursion. We were very grateful for the late check-in after 9 PM and that they specially prepared dinner for us even after the hotel cafe had closed. There's parking available for cars. The rooms are located as close to the water as possible – you literally step out of your room and almost into the water, which is amazing! The sound of the surf at night even made it hard to sleep (which is more of a plus, really). The location is excellent, and they can arrange transfers for shark tours and priority queuing if you discuss it with the lovely lady at the reception. Regarding the room itself – the room is physically tired and needs some minor repairs. There are some condition issues, but the location makes up for it. The cleanliness is excellent. All the linens were clean and smelled like fabric softener (a pleasant scent). Breakfast was à la carte. You can definitely get your fill. It's not a buffet."

"This hotel is perfectly located if you're planning a whale shark swimming excursion! It's close to where the tour starts, and the hotel itself is right on the beachfront, offering beautiful sunrises! The staff helped us book an excursion, and the rooms are spacious and clean. We really enjoyed everything."

"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."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which really made the experience stand out. The location was also excellent — convenient and easy to get around, with plenty nearby. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and value. Highly recommended!"
