"The hotel is very close to the whale sharks. They have a package that can take you to see the waterfalls, whale sharks and island hopping. The hotel is quite sunny and does not have a refrigerator. You need to ask the staff about the facilities, but overall it is clean. The passengers here come to see the whale sharks, so It's pretty good compared to nearby hotels."
"A small (4 rooms) and very cozy hotel on the seashore. Excellent pool with a view of the sea, and in the evening with beautiful lighting. You can swim in the sea by taking 3 steps from the hotel on the stairs. The hotel offers a welcome 30-minute massage of the whole body. It's just amazing! The female masseur is just a sorceress! It's a pity that we stayed there for only 2 nights, I would like to do such a massage every day. Very friendly and helpful staff. They immediately solve any issue that arises. The hotel has a red handsome cat Harry and a dog Aydzhe, very smart, drives away all other cats trying to enter the hotel territory.
The best room on the 2nd floor closer to the sea.
There is a little noise from the road, but in Oslob the road runs close to the sea everywhere
We recommend the hotel."
"We had a lovely time staying at GT Seaside Inn. The staff were helpful with booking us onto tours and booking the ferry to Bohol.
Rooms were clean and spacious with a very good air conditioning unit."
"I very rarely write reviews, but here I really want to express my deep gratitude to the entire working team and especially the owner of this place :) they helped me understand which activities are best to visit and in what order, plus they helped with the transfer. Very kind and helpful people work here. I recommend to everyone!"

"Convenient transportation, very close to the road station, quiet in the noisy. In the evening, you can go to the market’s barbecue. It's very convenient to buy food, there are 7-11 on the street.
We stayed in a double bed room at the end of the second floor, and the window opened to the sea. You can go snorkeling down the stairs on the first floor. My son likes it very much.
The proprietress was also very good, and helped me get a one hundred dollar bill back. I put it in the money and gave it to the tutu driver.
There is hot water on the first floor and you can eat instant noodles. You can also read books. Next time I go to Oslob to watch whale sharks and still live here."
"Amazing hotel! If you want to see the whale sharks, the location is perfect, as you need to get there around 3 AM to get a ticket. The tourist guide of the hotel spent the whole day with us, taking us to see the whale sharks, white sand beach island and Tumalog falls - amazing service! The hotel itself was clean, the food was delicious and the staff were friendly. Highly recommend it!"
"If the breakfast is not high, it ’s still good. Our twin room for two adults and four children did n’t require extra money and extra bed. It ’s very convenient to bring children. The location of the hotel is very convenient. Parking is also convenient. However, the hotel phone can not be reached because there is no signal or anything, the contact is provided by email, Ctrip service can provide, we are family free. I was relieved by the bus because I didn't know the time until 9 o'clock in the evening, and I communicated with the boss through emails along the way. The boss is a gentle girl who can help buy tickets to see the whale sharks. Her uncle helps to pick up and drop off. The price is reasonable. The hotel is near the road to see the whale sharks. The domestic traveler next door also gave snacks to my children. The people along the way were very warm and friendly. Although in the eyes of Chinese people, it is relatively backward, but people are really friendly."
"I spent unforgettable days at Seascape Beach Resort Oslob, and this place became a real paradise on earth!
Firstly, the location is simply magical: incredible sea views that open right from the hotel grounds create a feeling of complete unity with nature. Morning sunrises here are something completely special, and the evening sound of the waves acts as an ideal meditation.
Secondly, the service is beyond praise. The staff is always smiling, attentive and ready to help with any issue. Such a warm attitude makes the holiday not just comfortable, but truly soulful.
The rooms are stylish, small, but very clean. The view from the windows is a separate bonus! Every element is thought out: comfortable beds, nice bed linen.
The food in the restaurant is a whole other story. Tropical fruits and local dishes - every meal turned into a small gastronomic holiday.
If you are looking for a place for a quiet, peaceful holiday in nature, then Seascape Beach Resort Oslob is the perfect choice! If you want to recharge with energy, inspiration and feel harmony with yourself and the world, this is the place for you. I will definitely come back!"
"Nice, cheap place to stay. Right on the water and has a decent pool with bar and restaurant. About 15 minutes away from whale shark area. Only complaint is that the WiFi isn’t great... went in and out of service entire stay"

Very Good
ZZe-BWay Shack Hostel is in a fantastic location for visiting the whale sharks. If you speak to Ken at the hostel, he can help arrange the whale shark excursion, it cost me 500 pesos and was super easy to organize.
That said, I’d recommend only a one-night stay here. We were disturbed both nights by heavy goods vehicles passing by the hostel late at night, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, aside from the whale shark activity, there’s not much else around the hostel to keep yourself entertained.
A scooter is essential to travel to the local town for food or supplies. The hostel staff can help arrange a rental if you need one.
On the plus side, the room was clean and equipped with air conditioning, which made it comfortable for a short stay.
Overall, Way Shack Hostel is a practical and budget-friendly option for a quick stopover if you’re visiting the whale sharks, but it’s not ideal for a longer stay.
GGuest UserThe hotel is 1 km from the sharks' area, walking. The bus from Sebu has stopped right next to the bakery behind the hotel. Everything you need (including the teapot, the fan and hot water) is there. The bakery works 24 hours a day, next to a restaurant with stunning views on the sea. But the main thing is the manager of the hotel Fin, who quickly booked the time of swimming with sharks, took over and back and took 100 peso for the service! He also organized a transfer to the ferry, pre-specifying the time of his departure on a particular day. Very lucky he was so effective and ready to help! The hotel was noisy from the route, but I am very sensitive to the sounds.
NNazym YessenovaThat 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!
GGuest UserAlthough 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!
GGuest UserWhile the people working at the 'resort' were really very very nice, the place itself was not. The whole place appears to be in pretty poor condition with minimal anesthetics. Rooms for 1-2 persons are very small (but ok for sleeping) , my room did not have wifi reception (I had to go out to a dining area near the pool to get any signal, so no privacy), the pool was nice and the water clear but the sides were lightly green with algae. That said, there are lots of jeepkos for getting around very cheaply, a nice shopping center relatively close, and you couldn't ask for kinder, nicer, more helpful hosts!
Note: There is no real beach near there, just short narrow areas with a bit of sand and a lot of rocks at the waters edge. The sea is really beautiful and clear, but also lots of rock or coral. Also, most (not quite all) other 'resorts' in the area looked to be in similar condition.
__oliverh_The room met expectations for the price. It was functional, providing the essentials for a night’s stay. While not overly luxurious, it was reasonably comfortable and clean. The experience was fine overall, though there was nothing particularly memorable about the stay. It’s a decent option for a no-frills visit.
GGuest UserLovely accommodation.
Extremely comfy bed, breakfast included in our package was nice, and complimented by a lovely view over the ocean every morning.
The staff were lovely and extremely helpful,
They helped us to book out whale shark tour and also arranged a taxi for us back to Cebu city on our last day. Can’t give them enough credit for being great hosts. Would definitely come back if we’re ever in the area again.
