The driver was polite and was on time to pick us up. He was very patient with us. The swimming with the whale shark was a bit chaotic because we didn’t really know what was going on. But it was worth it when we saw the whale shark. we just wished it was longer than 30 minutes and less people in a group. I find that it was overcrowded (10 people per boat). I was expecting there will be just the 2 of us since we paid for group of 2 but we ended up sharing the boat with other tourists. As for the canyoneering, we had the best time. our tourist guides, Jimuel and Ay(not sure how to spell his name) were really funny and made sure we experienced a lot of things. they also took a lot of photos and videos. It was exhausting but was definitely one of the best tours I’ve had.

Absolutely loved the canyoneering experience! Loved our guides, Zack and Ken who were funny and patient with us making sure we are safe throughout! There is an optional gopro rental and they will help us to take make pictures and videos along the way for just 800php! There is also zipline for 600php as well! Highly reccommend!

What an adventure! I’ve never done this before but I made it. The riverbed is very rocky. I thought it was deep enough to swim but my leg hit a rock and got hurt a bit. You have to be very careful every step. I tripped over a few times. The guide (Kenneth ) was very helpful and took good care of me. The snorkelling in the morning was also fun. We saw thousands of sardines and big turtles. We swam with the turtles which is super cool.

We had an amazing time on this tour and enjoyed every moment. The Oslob Whale Shark Watching experience and the canyoneering adventure were both very well organized. Our driver, Rudel, picked us up from the hotel at 2:00 AM sharp and was punctual, friendly, and efficient throughout the trip. Swimming with the whale sharks was truly unforgettable, and the canyoneering was just as incredible. Zac was an outstanding guide during the canyoneering he helped us navigate the trek safely and took loads of photos for us along the way. He was friendly, supportive, and excellent at what he does. We highly recommend this tour to future travelers looking for an exciting and memorable experience 🤗

March 5-7, suite room... March 7-8, this was the last-minute booking. Only a superior room was available, so that's what we booked. The room was still nice, even though it was a superior one. It was clean. I especially loved their bath gel; it smelled so good! 💕💕

I’m very happy with my stay because I was able to check in early, which was a huge plus. The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. The location is also excellent because there’s a 7/11 conveniently located on the ground floor, and Ayala Center is just a 10-minute walk for me. If you’d rather not walk, you can easily catch a 13C jeepney across the road. I also appreciated the flexibility for a late check-out. For an additional 600 pesos, I was able to stay until 6 PM, which was worth it since I didn’t want to head to the pier too early. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel, especially for solo travelers. It’s clean, convenient, and offers great value for money.
