Planning to come back!

Absolutely the best experience! Located a bit away but in a perfect location with great staff. Super tranquil and the rooms are very clean with cold ac. The food was also so good and there was no need to leave from this tucked away retreat. We arrived at 1am and they had someone ready to greet us and take care of us. Great price and value! I will definitely be back

Perfect location for visiting Sumilon Island and Whale Shark watching!
Amazing view right from the bungalow. Aloy and his family are amazing hosts, we were brought everywhere by car with AC! The room was very clean and tidy, absolutely no issues with the shower. Perfect location for visiting Sumilon Island and Whale Shark watching. 10 out of 10!

5 star rating
Our room is located right across the beach. Just a few minutes away from whaleshark watching and steps away from boat rental going to Sumilon Island. Ms. Ron and the rest of the staff are so friendly, they even assisted us in arranging a motorcycle ride going to Tumalog Falls. I felt so much body ache during our last night in their hotel due to activities, they volunteered to buy ibuprofen in the nearby hotel. (there's no pharmacy near the resort). Their inhouse restaurant only serves food from 7 am till 9 pm but they did an extra effort when we decided to order food past 10 pm, even served it in the common area near the beach 😊😊😊. And by the way, unlimited coffee any time of the day, which my hubby really took advantage of. lol! Breakfast is included in the package so you'll spend less during your stay. Food was amazing. That hearty sinigang we ordered for lunch made us really full. Room was very clean. Clean bedsheets and nice smelling towels. I will surely book your hotel again. More than just a nice room, it was really your hospitality that stood out. Never ever change that. 5 star rating for me!

Great place to stay if you want to go to Oslob for whale shark watching
I really enjoyed staying here mostly because the sea was 20 meters away from the property making it very easy to just go for a swim or snorkeling. The property is also very close to the whale shark watching point and Sumilon island.. The hosts are very helpful with useful information about the region and they also organise tours of the attractions that are close. The property also has a very nice restaurant offering many delicious traditional dishes.

Brilliant
The place is amazing next to the sea. The staff are all amazing extramly friendly and welcoming. It's a family ran place and they made me feel at home. The food is very very good cooked fantastically and all was available. They also made us a mango float and fresh coconut juice we requested the night before. And also they made us sandwiches for our breakfast since we woke up and 4 am. I truly appreciate it all. Thumbs up 5 stars

The staff was very accommodating.
They helped us organise our trip eg. Whale shark watching and transfer to Bohol. They even gave us free lift to the whale shark watching area. The place was not luxurious but was better than what I was expecting. The room was simple but spacious enough. The Internet was reliable and fast. The place itself was beachfront, very close to whale shark watching area, Tumalog Falls and Sumilon Island. They also had a restaurant where I find the food a bit pricey but very delicious. We had a lovely dinner, good food though I found a hair on my viand. Nonetheless, excellent stay. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect stay!
We booked very last minute, but everything was ready and arranged when we arrived around 21:30. We were surprised to see our room was beachfront with a nice view. During the night you can hear the waves. Bed and shower were good, breakfast also good! Many options to choose from. We only stayed one night and left in the morning, but would recommend this place if you have to break your trip from Cebu to the ferry to Dumaguette or Siquijor! It's only 20 min from the ferry. Staff was very friendly. Also WiFi was very fast, even in our room!

Pleasant stay, great service
The sunrise was immaculate!! The best sunrise I've seen yet! The staff (Ron & Eli) were fantastic. They had the best vegan food I've had yet in Philippines. Eli organised the whale shark diving the evening before for us, got his brother to stand in line super early (4am-5am) so that when we arrived at 5:30am we were one of the first boats to go out and see them. Spectacular!(Also check out the Binalayan Hidden Waterfalls, AMAZING). They organised a scooter for us, transfer to the ferry port. A must if you're there for a night and want to experience a beautiful stay in Oslob.

Room faced right onto the sea and Sumilon Island and could just sit outside listening to the ocean it was so peaceful! A little bit outside. Oslob town but really close to the whale shark watching and they shuttle you there at sunrise and organise priority tickets so no waiting with no extra charge! Food was great and breakfast was included in the room price. I messaged in advance to see if they could arrange a cake for my friends birthday which they did, they even set it up at a table facing the ocean with candles and balloons! Great place and great staff, loved this place! Wish I had longer there

Exceeded all expectations above and beyond, AAA experience.
This property goes above and beyond, they have a shuttle that takes you to whale shark watching and they pick you up as well, they also expedite the whale shark watching checking and waiting in line. Property rooms face beachfront so you sleep with sound of ocean waves.

Hosts went above and beyond to be helpful - making sure your whale shark tour went as smooth as possible and even would pick and drop us off in the tourist town whenever he was available with his van. Clean, new room with comfortable beds, great AC and water pressure. And Wow! - the beach in front is mostly rocks but there are some nice tables and chairs to sit in outside but most importantly - go snorkel in the water right in front of the property. You wouldn't expect it but it was the most beautiful fish and coral we saw in our 1 month in the Philippines.

We have a good time in Island and beachfront guest house
The cottage is infront of the coral reef where we enjoyed snorekelling 2 x a day. Plenty of fishes and corals. The place was quite and relaxing with nice sea view and fresh air. The guesthouse was far from restaurants but the service of Iloy the caretaker was excellent He took us out to a good restaurants as we requested or anywhere we like and waited for us too. He organised the Whale shark watching for us without any problem. The room was in good size, comfortable bed and the terrace infront of the sea was excellent. Good place to relax.

It was very close to the Sumilon Island, it only took us 10 minutes to go there (the boat rental is just beside the property.) At first, you’ll be fooled by the local public resort vibe because when we checked in there were several people taking a bath in public on the premises and we were not sure if it was the place. But behold! The rooms were good but don’t expect a TV because you are there to relax and enjoy the beach. The caretakers of the property are so hospitable and they adhered to our requests. It was run by a family so it gave off a homey vibe. Ate and Kuya was kind enough to help us arrange a tour towards Whaleshark Watching wherein we were the first ones in line and were prioritized because they fell in line for us (their family member went to the ticketing booth on 12 MN). We saw a lot of whalesharks because we were on the first batch to interact with them. They also helped us get a boat to Panglao (because that’s our next itinerary) and even drove us to the port. I already miss them and the island life :((

Beachfront it is!
Super clean room. The Room, bedsheets, blankets, towels and pillow cases smells so nice. We love the place. Staffs were so nice. Hopefully we'll come back. Much affordable than any other resorts. the Location is just near the main street. Delicious breakfast. Thank you Booking.com my 2nd time to book and you never fail to impress me. thanks a lot! till next time!

Fantastic stay. Amazing staff.
Really good to do the whale shark. They have sort it all out for us and we were one of the first people to go on the sea with boat number 10. Wound definitely recommend this place.

Идеальный отель для плавания с акулами
Добротный отель с идеальной локацией для плавания с акулами. Хозяин отеля все организует таким образом, чтобы вы оказались в одной из первых лодок. Завтрак входит в стоимость проживания, готовят очень вкусно (домашняя кухня). Хороший WiFi.

If you love snorkeling then this place is for you
Island front is a great place to stay if you want to do whale shark viewing the next day. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were able to arrange our whale shark viewing hassle free by not having us go on long lines. The one thing I loved the most about them is that the beach just behind the property has one of the most beautiful coral reef I’ve ever been. Me and my family had a blast snorkeling. I would even say not to go to Sumilon beach anymore if you’re a bit tight on the budget. Island front snorkeling is waaaay better. And you can clearly see that they take care of it cos there’s no litter. Definitely would love to go back.

The staff is awesome!
Very kind and very caring of our needs. Cute room, view is amazing! Very good restaurant, dinner and breakfast. Highly recommand!

Super helpful staff and amazing service with arranging Whale Shark swimming and Kawasan Falls tour.
We chose to stay at Bangcogon Resort simply because we planned on visiting Kawasan Falls and Swimming with the Whale sharks. The hotel was amazing at organizing both activities. The owner/manager was so helpful with arranging the whale shark swim, he got us there nice and early and did all the groundwork with securing the tickets and guiding us through what to do. I'm not sure we could have done it without them as its chaos down there. They also helped us with getting the ferry to Bohol from Oslob rather than go all the way back to Cebu City. The food in the restaurant food was nice and the bungalows along the beachfront were comfortable with a nice view.

We spent four nights at Bangcogon Front Island Resort from April 1st to 5th. Our room was clean with good quality bedding, 24/24 electricity, silent and usable air conditioning; shower, sink and toilet are functional. There is no hot water, but you do not need it. We are 1.6km from Oslob Whale Shark Watching, 20 minutes walk or 20 pesos / person (0.35 euro / p) from the road (150 meters from Resort). If you leave the resort between 6am to 6:30 am, you will be back before 9am, whale shark watching lasts 30 minutes, however expect a significant wait. The pier for Sumilon Island is next to Resort. Tip: It's better flying Manila-Dumaguette. The Dumaguete-resort ride is faster compared to Cebu-Resort. The resort is managed by the whole family, and their infinite kindness, availability and smiles turn the good into excellent and our stay becomes one of our best memories in the Philippines.
