    Ants everywhere. We have swapped 3 rooms but after a few hours they just found their way to you. I also found lot of bugs everywhere, even in bed (no bed bugs) and particularly under the bed was like spider-man's lair. They could have clean that. But even though, the room with the king's bed with the view on the ocean was absolutely magical.

    Beautiful scenery, nice clean pool, very kind staff. Food and drinks took some time to make but were great when delivered. Nice balcony with seats and table.

    It was still a ways from the whale shark swimming. The steps are STEEP, even for someone in shape.

    The seaside location was superb! You could snorkel right off the back deck. The glass walls of the restaurant and pool made it seem open.

    The shower leaked a lot of water into the bathroom and our room was quite small. However for two days it was manageable.

    The location was good and the staff were incredibly friendly, they went out of their way to help. The pool was clean and the food was satisfactory.

    The best hotel in Oslob, but no good reason to stay overnight in Oslob

    Most tourists don't stay in the area. Instead they do Oslob as a day trip from moalboal, cebu or Bohol and I think they are right to do that... There is literally nowhere good to eat, and while the food at the hotel is probably the best in the area it still isn't good. Breakfast was a dry piece of bread, a hot dog sausage, 2 squares of sweaty spam meat, 2 slices of cucumber. (I did hear the omelettes were decent but I don't eat eggs). Dinner wasn't much better, and a fair amount of stuff was unavailable. The waiters at the restaurant were really nice people but just not attentive... probably because it's so quiet. You had to go find them if you wanted to order, and after having lunch at 2pm my plate was still on the table at 6pm. I was waking up very early to scuba dive and someone (I suspect the staff) was singing karaoke unbelievably loud until at least 11pm. The balcony door and bedroom door have gaps in them so definitely bring mosquito repellent. No hot water in the shower unless you use the handheld one and then it's lukewarm.

    By all accounts it's the best hotel in Oslob. So if you're staying in Oslob look no further. It's clearly very new and it's a lovely building with a lovely roof terrace. The receptionist was lovely and super helpful! Let me check in early, helped with transport, have recommendations and directions etc. The pool area is great. No beach but there's steps down to the sea and the snorkeling there is pretty good, we saw turtles and some corals. The rooms are small, but you have everything you need for a night or 2. WiFi was strong and reliable throughout my stay

    Very nice we are happy, and very attentive and friendly staff! i only complained regarding their food price at their restaurant OVERPRICED i could say, taste yummy but the food portions of all their foods are not adequate to the price! SEAFOOD PLATTER we got 3pcs of fish small cubes, 3pcs small shrimps and a small pcs of i dont know.. 455,00 pesos. And i asked the waiter to serve all the foods in one time but they serve one by one and the last was the rice … 🤒 im sorry to tell you.. overall i was happy and my family staying at your resorts and i will be back again here next year with my colleagues from Germany definitely 💯 ☺️🥰 i just say negative things atleast u can improve little things… ( just think about u are next to the ocean and it should be lesser price mostly to your seafoods like fish shrimps and etc.. i can understand if u have cheese and sausages from other country then it would be ok 😉) hope to see u again and God bless us all 😊

    Very nice clean ocean view good ambiance nice karaoke session every night…

    The BF was very poor. They didn't have any stock for two days... Only one BF available over 7. And they give you the menu to choose and then tell you they don't have any items available... Food is expensive and not good.... Everything is almost frozen food..

    The hotel has a great location and view on the sea with direct access.

    True oceanside and itss vicinity to atractions makes this a must stay.
    • Business trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Triple Room

    The stairs are a hike. The steps are taller and uneven which made it difficult to be on the top floor, so if you're elderly Id request for the lower floor. The hotel is not fully airconditioned but the rooms are, so they leave the huge beautiful sliding doors on each floor. The bad thing is it attracks bugs into the hotel and can sometimes get into the rooms.

    The Hotel is oceanside, very nice and accessible. It has a very nice pool and restaurant and bonus of ocean access in the back. They have music playing at night to enjoy the sunset and the pool. Their food and their service is top notch.

    The room we stayed was a bit small. The beds could be more comfortable. We only stayed for 10 hours so we didn’t mind.

    It is probably the best hotel in Oslob. Clean and nice hotel. We were treated very well. I had booked the room for the wrong date. They were very helpful about changing the date.

    Bathroom a bit small in bedroom, and very big steps to climb to the rooms and no lift so not ideal if you have reduced mobility. Not much else to do in the area so taxi is a must.

    Nice modern hotel with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The room is minimalist, the pool was nice to relax in and the staff were very accommodating. They even helped arrange a tour for us the following day to see the whalesharks and canyoneering. We saw turtles from the hotel too which was very special. This hotel is a great area to base yourself if you wish you do whalesharks! :)

    Marc Vannelli Hotel is made up of the kindest, best staff-- just two things need to be addressed:)!
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Triple Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Two important things: (1) The rooms were clean, but the smell from the sewage system through the shower drain and sink drain is overpowering and nauseating. This is a systemic sewage issue. The ventilation from the sewer needs to be re-routed. We stayed in our rooms as little as possible. We did bring this up with the staff, but there was only so much they could do without getting management and construction involved. And (2), the glass shower door needs to be extended to the floor, or caulk and a squeegee added to the bottom of the glass. When one takes a shower, the entire bathroom floor gets soaked, so an added 2-3 towels per day need to be used just to clean the floor.

    The staff was EXCELLENT, like the best in the business. Kind, warm, welcoming, accommodating! They answered all my questions, went beyond in making sure we had answers. They were quick on returning emails that I sent them from the USA. Breakfast was fantastic. Again, the staff in the restaurant were so kind to my kids and actually were the reason why it was hard to leave. When I needed to do laundry, they were on top of the sending out and quickly getting it back. They had a New Years Eve party. Our family was so tired at 9pm, that we went to sleep though, haha! It was nice to have that available for the guests, however. The facility was beautiful, clean and organized, but read further ahead on details of that.

    Noisy neighbourhood, WiFi not working most of the time, no vegetarian options for the breakfast available so we had to negotiate with the stuff every morning.

    Clean and comfortable rooms equipped with small fridge, safe, desk and chair and air-condition. Amazing view at the seaside, nice rooftop, massage chair free to use.

    The bathroom a kind of a little bit small, but that just it. We still enjoyed our stay.

    Breakfast was ok, they have a good Choices we like their staffs they were very helpful they will just wait what you asked them especially on the food. For the breakfast if you can’t eat on their hotel because you don’t want to eat yet or you are running out of time already it’s ok you can ask them to just packed the meal. About the location I can say it’s ok it’s only 25 mins to the whale shark watching. Hotel are clean just a little bit small shower and bathroom but it’s ok it didn’t bother us.
