Lantawan Resort

Me and my partner stayed here for 3 days. The room were very nice and clean with good aircondition. The food in the restaurant was good as well. And the location of the hotel is nearby the whalewatch. It is easy to take the bus from the hotel or rent a motorbike just like we did. The staff is very friendly and the owner is so nice and helpful! Me and my partner couldn't find a working atm that took mastercard, we drove about 6 hours with the motorbike, but didn't find any working atm. We came back to the hotel and didn't know what to do and the owner of the hotel offered us her help. She and her daughter took their car and drove to the pier and we took the boat to the island Negros. When we where there they took us to an atm that finally worked. We are so greatful for their help that day. After we went to the shopping mall and did some shopping together. A humble and nice family, with a really good resort, do recomend this place!

Stayed here again at Lantawan a few weeks ago. And I can say it's still the best place to stay in Oslob! The resort is along the national road and you can just inform the bus to drop you there. For a 1500 PHP, you're getting an almost 3-star hotel accommodation just like in the city: modern and clean rooms, comfy beds, nice smelling towels, and toilet with bidet. Just be wary that there are a lot of make-shift resorts in Oslob and you might end up paying more for what you're getting. Lantawan is near the whale shark watching, Sumilon, and Tumalog falls which are 5 mins drive. They provide assistance in all the activities in Oslob. They also offer scooter rental which is nice to explore area. And the staff is amazing for putting the extra effort in making sure they meet your needs and requests! For this alone, I highly recommend this place. You're in good hands with them. And boo on the reviews for criticizing the resort for poor WIFI connection. I was using my own mobile connection and signal is spotty in the area but for text and calls, you should be fine. For improvement: 1. There's only one pillow per bed; not sure if you can ask for more 2. TV has only ABS but not a big deal as we're out for most of the time 3. They have their own eatery and food is not bad but we find it pricey for the serving size (150-200PHP) after getting used to the affordable and you-get-your-money's-worth food culture in Cebu 4. Booked through Traveloka; did not get a response through text inquiries sent to their 3 different numbers 5. Road noise is there but tolerable

Lantawan is a very nice stay if you want to be out of the town of Oslob and just to relax. You will need to hire a motorbike to get around unless you pay for a trike as this place isn't close to much. The room was lovely and clean, and the bathroom nice too. Has a small cafe on site and you can hire a bike for 700 pesos (everywhere else we saw was 600 peso). Staff friendly enough. We were very disappointed with the wifi which didn't work. We raised this with the staff and she told us she had fixed it, but it was no better. This was a portable wifi and it still didn't work. I don't think some hotels realise the importance of wifi for guests who are travelling and need to research and plan their next moves. Also, it is advertised that you have a TV in your room - which you do, however they don't pay a subscription so it only has 2 channels! Ok if you don't require wifi.

We cannot fault the young girl on the front desk here!! When we arrived in Oslob we needed an ATM and didn't have any money! We rented a moped from the hotel and paid on check out! I would recommend this to anyone as this resort is not near much apart from the whale shark resort which is about 10 minute drive! We drove all the way to the next town for an ATM and when we arrived it didn't work! It was a very stressful first day for us and didn't have any money to eat that night, we spoke to reception the following morning and the young girl on the desk literally saved the day by lending us 500pesos to get more petrol for the moped and drive onto the following town where there was another ATM, and we cannot thank her enough for that because without that help we really don't know what we would have done! The rooms are very clean and you have hot water but the shower isn't very powerful. Only downside to this place is it's on the main road so is very noisy at night with large lorries and coaches passing through and beeping their horns! If you need wifi make sure you ask the front desk as they give you personal portable wifis for you to use and the wifi is very good! We came here by public bus which runs right past the hotel so keep your eye out as it's just past Oslob town on the right! Thank you again for a wonderful stay and all the help you gave us!

Do not trust Waze when locating the resort - just tell the bus driver as it can be easily spotted as the resort is along the road. It has a travel lodge feel as it is just a small scale resort. The staff is wonderful! The girl at the front desk was very helpful arranging transportation around the town and the activities in Oslob. Even the other staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a comfortable stay as they did errands upon our request. Resort is fairly new and can easily rival any 3-star hotel. Rooms are very clean with cable, equipped with bidet, and has hot & cold water. Water pressure is understandbly an issue at this remote area but works fine. They have an in-house eatery good enough for your stay. Prices are very reasonable. 100-250 good for 2 persons. The resort is perfectly situated between the town proper and the activities in Oslob. It's along the road and can get noisy with the passing vehicles especially if they honk. They are currently building a pool. Highly recommended and you're getting more for a 1500/night stay.
