Amazing stay at this resort - the grounds are beautiful and the staff will go above and beyond for you. We came for the whale sharks, the hotel organised for a tricycle for us for both days and the lovely Walter drove us around. Walter even came with us to the whale sharks, retrieved our tickets, checked us in, organised the go pro and waited with us to make sure we got on the boat which made the whole experience easy for us, he was amazing. The hotel organised a delicious breakfast box for us to take. Thank you so much!

The staffs are very respectful, friendly and jolly. Our breakfast meal were packed to bring along with us when we went to Whale Shark watching. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Suggest to remove the throw pillows placed in the beds and replace with another bed pillow instead to make it two bed pillows per bed.

Love this place, the owner and crews are very nice . They try their best to provide excellent service to us, in providing transport for the Whale watching. They specially prepared local dinner for our anniversary and with a complimentary wine. Given a full sea view room. Prepared packed breakfast for our early departure for tour.

This resort is just gorgeous. The rooms we stayed in were brand new and we loved sitting out watching the moon over the ocean at the end of the night. It was smaller than I expected, but perfect for us.

The only challenge was that we didn't have enough cash and they didn't take card payments for dinner... same as the restaurant next door, so we had to jump on a tuktuk to get the 8 minutes into a restaurant in 'town'. It's not walking distance to much - but we enjoyed our tuktuk adventure! The staff were helpful in hailing one down and ensuring we were charged the right amount.

I had a great time thanks to the amazing staff and the owner who all made my stay special. Very caring, attentive and always so kind! Helped me to arrange trips, suggestions where to go, and good tips about transport. The place is new and everything is fresh and clean. Lovely breakfast, tea, coffee available all day. Drinking water free for you to top up your bottle any time. Quiet, peaceful environment to chill out on the terrace watching the most beautiful sea horizont. The bonus was the sun roof terrace where I could practise my yoga in the morning and evening.

The location is a bit far from everything, but it's always easy to catch a bus or a tricycle right in front of the house.

Loved the hotel . Very quiet and out the way. Liked the fact the staff didn't bother us much, even considering we were the only guests in the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful Room was clean Food was ok Location was in a quiet area. About 30min walk to nearest little village where there is an atm and a small mall Views were amazing. Could watch the sunrise every morning Loved the fact the hotel had its own little beach

Air conditioning is the room was very noisy so didn't want to leave it on all night, but there were no windows that could be left open so we had to leave it on. I bought my earplugs so wasn't an issue for me but my bf didn't sleep well. Could do with some ceiling fans in the rooms just to circulate the air a bit, rather than leave a/c on all night

The resort is exceptional. There is nothing to complain as a European standard. The staff are more than helpful they go out of their way to assist U if they hear U say something. I would stay 1 night to go do the shark diving because. It's just 15 mins away and since U have to go early there it's perfect location for that

Just the location around it is a bit bare. No restaurants no bars nothing at all. So in d eve there is totally Nothing to do . We did go to a sort of square with restaurant but they were either all closed or had half of the menu and no alcohol!

Perfect stay in Oslob! The staff helped us arrange our whale shark experience. The next day they provided us with a lovely packed breakfast and thier taxi driver took us to the whale shark watching. He accompanied us through each stage, which made it easy and hassle free! The resort also has a dedicated laundrette across the road that was very reasonably priced and we were able to wash and fold 2 entire suitcases of clothing. Dinner at the resort was lovely and drinks well priced! Would recommend!

Excellent establishment. The manager was super available before and during stay. They arranged transportation to and from resort even in holidays. We were advised for activities, they arranged it for us and even managed early breakfast. Felt like family. Decoration is cosy and original. We were given Honeymoon suit which is incredible with a direct view on the sea. Very Private place with a private beach. I would give more than 10 if I could. If you are looking for a calm and charming stay, don’t hesitate! Very good value for money.

All the staff, including the owner, were amazing: friendly, helpful and answered every question regarding whalesharks and transportation with a smile. Loved the view of the ocean, and hearing the waves. The artworks that decorate the hotel give a unique and relaxed feel. It was never busy. No problems with WiFi. The phone number listed didn't work, but the owner says you can find them on FB. Google had the location correct, (since it was hard to see the hotel sign) . Staff will help you pre-book a whaleshark slot, which means you skip the very long walk in line. It's about a 20-30 min motorbike ride to get there.

Nothing to dislike.
