A little basic in terms of accommodation but bed comfy, hot shower and powerful air con. Really reasonable and the location is excellent for whale sharks, Tumalog falls and Sumilon island. Beautiful coral beach. Could do with more sun beds (only 3 in resort!) We found the snorkelling from the beach disappointing in day but the turtles come about 530 and also spotted an octopus. Snorkelling at Sumilon brilliant, best coral seen for a long while and variety of fish. All the staff are very friendly and so welcoming, very helpful and fantastic in organising the trips. Food was also really good, definitely recommend this place

The service was 5 stars! All the staff were incredibly helpful with planning our itinerary and ensuring we were comfortable. The location is super close to the whale shark experience, tumalog falls & access to Sumilon Island. It’s important to note that the resort has many workers at those tourist areas that will kindly assist you. Most importantly, the food at the restaurant was super delicious ! Although it’s a three star accomodation, it was extremely worthwhile! An amazing view too!

Someone previously commented on the loud air conditioner, which may be an issue for some but we understand it’s the older typical filo air conditioner experience ! Haha. Also, be sure to bring your own toiletries or purchase some at the front counter.

The staff are attentive and the concierge service is exceptional. The relay of communication is clear. The beds are comfortable and the size of the room is just fine. The beach front is well maintained and are cleaned all the time. This beach is very close to Sumilon docking area so we only walk by the shore. In house dining is available until 20:30 and they serve a great piñacolada.

There are dogs and cats around and may cause issues to some who are not used to it. There were unwelcomed insects crawling out from the sink or drain that could have been avoided with thorough cleaning.

I loved the owner. Hands down this woman is incredible. She makes anything and everything happen, she tracks all your purchases for you (so you can just relax and enjoy) she sets up transportation and runs the entire kitchen. She’s honestly an inspiration for how a hotel should be run. With that said, she was one of the biggest reasons we had such a great time in our stay.

It was a little bare with blankets and towels but we were able to rent those from the office for very cheap so it was not an issue at all! Just something travelers should be aware of.

Great delicious fresh authentic Filipino meals, the set up as small resort is family oriented, staff front desk, restaurant staff, night security guard are all warm welcoming and nicest people. You feel at home. Special mention to Dodong our amazing driver kept us safe during our travels, Bong staff of the resort at whale shark encounter took care of us from beginning to end Most of all Lorena and Matinthe nicest very accommodating resort owners who had a big heart in sharing how they start their resort business and had been successful …we will definitely refer The Island Front Bangcogon Resort and Restaurant to our friends and family. We ❤️Cebu

Very nice location right by the beach; the staff were very accommodating. We arrived late at night and their restaurant was about to close; but they went out of their way and able to prepare sandwiches for us. The ease to have the concierge who took care of reserving activities & shuttle rides for us.

Annoying vendors in the area that kept approaching us even we said no to buying the jewelry (pearl).

We stayed at TATA and MAMA, which are two rooms just next to the coast, the restaurant, and parking spaces. Not only the wavy sound of ocean but servers' talking can wake me up. Maybe I just don't stay long enough and cannot get used to the ocean sound. However, the staff there are terrifically friendly and helpful at any time. Though there were some frustrating booking issues in the beginning, Ron solved it out at the last minute. Jess, at the night shift, is very much communicative and helpful on every matter. Stay and enjoy your Oslob there.

There is no instruction how to get hot water thru the taps. I tried hard on the 1st day but got my cold shower at my 1st night. Noisy in the early morning. I guess industrious Philipinos got up very early.

Staff were helpful, friendly and very polite. They helped us to arrange few activities. The food served was delicious 🤤 . Bed was comfortable. Service excellent!

They should care more about the environment and place their garbage properly. As well as incentive to keep their space clean. Through the trip, we observed lots of trash being thrown out in the sea, and the driver provided also throwing trash on the street. It was disappointing! They could also have more options on the menu, like cheese sandwiches or different kinds of snacks.

Very good value for money. The staff very very friendly and accommodating. They assisted us during the entire process in the whale watching and sumilon sand bar tour. The rates for the transpo and food are very reasonable. Around 5 minutes ride from the whale watching and just across the sumilon sand bar.

The water pressure in the toilet is not very good. It took us a while to finish taking a bath because the water pressure was too low. Another thing us that they can consider putting a liquid bath soap instead of bar.

Ocean front views. Nice, clean room. They helped organise our whale shark tour - we left at 4am which meant we beat most of the crowd and one of the first in the water. We got back from the tour by 7.30/8. Boats leave from resort to Sumilion island which was a great day trip. Free breakfast was nice. There is a local basketball court out back of resort - our son loved playing with the locals there every afternoon. We also joined in with the local new year celebrations which was fun - everyone was so inviting and welcoming.

Beds a little hard.
