Top Oslob Hotel Reviews
Modala Beach Resort
"The property sits in a wide area where it has a wide sandy white beach. Away from the crowded place. You can have dinner at the beach or next to it. It has excellent wide variety of food choices that are excellent taste. The staffs, 99% I encountered and interacted with were very helpful, professional and seems to enjoy what they do. Had great interaction with the staff at the bar who provided an excellent drink. The staff that serves us food were very helpful who listened to our questions and very professionals. The room we had was overlooking the pool and with a wide fantastic view of the entire beach. Although, water pressure from our shower were average, its very nice and clean. Overall it was an excellent resort place to stay. This could be our first option for our next trip."

The South Hideaway Oslob
"Nice room Clean Good size. Only thing was no clothes hanging at all, inconvenient."
24/7 Lantawan Resort
"All the Staff were very helpful and very friendly. Beautiful view of the sea from the resort. Perfect location between the whale shark encounter/ port and main Oslob. Food was delicious and freshly cooked, with good size portions- the Lumpiaโs are one of the best weโve ever tasted! One thing to note for foreign guests is that there is no sheets or duvets just a Kumot (a white flat towel like sheet). Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Oslob."
