Island Front - Bangcogon Resort and Restaurant

You can book a car through the hotel to go to Oslob, and the shuttle to see the whale sharks costs 100 pesos. There are also boats to Sumilon Island. Upon check-in, you just fill out a form to choose your desired itinerary and service package. The service is excellent. The hotel has sea views and good facilities. My room door faced the hotel's dining area by the sea. I ordered food directly while sitting by the sea and just zoned out watching the ocean. It was a wonderful experience.

Not a bad hotel for the price. The view and our private terrace by the sea more than made up for any inconveniences.

You absolutely have to stay here! It's so incredibly clean and wonderful! My 3 friends and I stayed, and it was just fantastic! The breakfast was delicious too! They even prepared it for us to take out, so we could eat it on the beach. I highly recommend the plate with the soft-boiled eggs!!

This is a small, guesthouse-like hotel, located about 1.5 km from the main street where you can see whale sharks. It's a 20-minute walk along the highway. The air conditioning is very noisy, and the room is quite small. The upside! It's peaceful with no crowds. The beach, made of coral fragments, was the most beautiful part of this trip. During meals, there were even cats and dogs coming to beg for food, which added a nice, cozy touch.

Excellent hotel right on the beachfront. The food was beyond amazing, and the prices were a pleasant surprise. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip. However, in the morning, we inquired about getting to a spot where you can swim with sharks – it was only 1.2 km away, but they quoted us 1000 pesos for a taxi!!! We declined, walked out to the road ourselves, and hailed a Jeepney, which took us there – for just 15 pesos! Seriously, folks, 15 pesos!

The location is excellent, not far from where they take you to see the whale sharks. The hotel provides round-trip transfers, but you can also walk about 500 meters in 10 minutes, though it's along the road. The price for the whale shark tour from the hotel with transfer is 1000 pesos; without transfer, it's 500 pesos per person if you book on site. The rooms are spartan, with nothing but a bed and a table. There's a water heater in the shower, but it doesn't quite do its job. However, for 3,000 rubles, if you just came to see the whale sharks, spend a night, and leave, it's perfectly justifiable. The hotel has a restaurant where you can grab a bite, and nearby there's a pier with boats that can take you to a small, opposite island with white coral sand. This hotel is really just for a 1-2 night stay.

The environment is absolutely fantastic! You can dine right by the sea, enjoying the breeze. They even helped us book all our excursions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, a superb experience, highly recommended!

This hotel is incredibly close to where you can watch whale sharks, so you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to leave from Cebu City. The service is pretty good, but the facilities are a bit old. They don't provide body wash or shampoo, but you can buy them if you need to.

Stayed for one night for the whale shark swimming experience. The hotel arranged the booking and transfers. Thanks, everything was excellent. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves! 👍
