My family enjoyed our stay there. It was crowded and it felt we had the whole resort to ourselves. The staff is very attentive. My kids congratulated me for finding a great resort. Small but it felt cozy and boutique. And their assistance with our oslob whaleshark was very organized. Thank you.

“Outstanding place”
The accomodation is even better than in pictures ! Very helpful personel, aways glad to help you plan your next adventures. The resort is small, easily accessible and in a very quiet location. Morning wake up with the sun shining over the ocean gives you some nice pictures opportunities The location is perfect as it allows you to access both east side and west side of the island, splitting the driving time efficiently

“Will definitely come back!!!”
The staff was exceptional! 100/100!!! Ethel was a ball of positive vibes, she's fun to talk to and was very accommodating. Plus she gave us recos for restaurants & bars to visit. Taline is a cutie, always ready to help with that sweet little voice of hers. Kuya Khaloy's (Gardener) stories are a great morning energizer for us. We talked about anything under the sun. Never a dull moment with him. The Southseas boys are great too! Overall - the place was a great choice for our 27th wedding anniversary ❤️

“Amazing accommodation with stunning views”
Probably the most amazing place I've ever stayed. Literally beachfront with a pool that looks onto the sea as well. The views were incredible. Lots of chairs looking onto the sea to enjoy the views at all hours. The bed was also really comfortable and the breakfast service was good, the staff asked in advance what time you wanted breakfast served and knocked on our door when it was ready. Dinner service was good too but best to order in advance as it takes them a while to make the dinner.

Our stay at this resort was truly fantastic. Everything was at the highest level, from the accommodation to the service. The atmosphere was wonderful and the surroundings were beautiful, making it easy to relax from the very first moment. The food was excellent, diverse and always fresh, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. We also had the chance to use scooters, which was perfect for exploring the area and made the whole experience even better. We would especially like to highlight Ben, who organized an unforgettable whale shark watching experience in Oslob. Everything was perfectly arranged and we did not have to wait in line. On his recommendation, we also visited a resort on a small island, which turned out to be a perfect choice and one of the highlights of our trip. They also arranged a transfer to Cebu airport, which made our departure completely stress free. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we would gladly repeat and highly recommend to everyone.

“A hidden gem 💎”
Lovely little boutique dive resort (only 10 rooms) with beachfront and direct access to the sea. We stayed here for just one night when we were stranded due to a Typhoon, but the team were fantastic, the food was delicious, and we wished we could have stayed longer but had accommodation booked elsewhere. The pool was being renovated whilst we there, but once finished, will be great. Hoping we can return later in our trip.
