Great view, friendly staff
Views were amazing, rooms were small but clean. Beds, or mine, was small and the blanket was very thin. The restaurant on the property was ok. The food wasn't awful but it was very greasy, and it took awhile to get anyone to come to our table, and when the waiter did, i felt rushed to order. Other than that, it was a decent stay.

Response from Bodo´s on 25 July 2018
Hello from Bodo´s. Thanks a lot for your review. it seems everybody think that we are pricy. You have to understand: we cannot earn only the Costs for the ingredients- we also have to earn the Money for Minimum wages of employees-maintenance- kitchen Equipment-Costs of delivery-Taxes and fees. So pricy is just a Point of view. Is a Mercedes Benz Pricy? No because you also buy Image, security and Innovation of the brand. And Bodo´s as the Resort Number One in the South for Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Politicians and other People of Public life is still a bargain compared to others. Just want to clear this-but all in all thanks again for your nice review. Have a great day and we hope to see u soon again.

We enjoyed our stay very much, especially for the price we paid. Only slight downside is there is a bit of road noise from the sea view rooms so if you want total silence maybe try one of the rooms away from the road.

It is a pleasant and relaxing stay. There is nothing much near the resort but the resort provide most of the stuff and the food is pretty big portion and tasty. I would recommend this resort if they are going for whale shark watching.

In a good area
The area the resort is in is good, if you are traveler it makes it easy to travel southern area of cebu. The resort although doesn't have a good laundry service we had about 60 USD in damaged clothing and still had to pay full cleaning fee which is higher than rates in US. At first we noticed only two pieces of clothing ruined but when we looked at all of a lot had holes in it, colors mixed in with different clothes, asked for handwashed before service was told all laundry is handwashed than after cleaned found out machine washed. Than went to check out and they didn't accept card currently so I didn't carry much cash on me I never do, but the hotel worked well with me on that part they let me transfer money after I left.

Worst place we had overall
1. Air-condition was VERY VERY VERY WEAK even at night. we didn't use the blankets that's how weak it was 2. They did not maintain the mainland of the resort, which is pure of green grass. Now it is purely brown, it's like you booked a resort in a desert. Other resorts was able to maintain, how can they not? 3. Extremely high prices for food esp for breakfast, you can see the quality of the food they serve. Thin low quality hotdogs, powdered juice etc @ 200-300. They are clearly taking advantage of the distance of the resort, btw it is not near the beach. 4. Pool looks like the water wasn't changed for days already. Wasted my money.

Enjoyable getaway...
Mommy and Daddy needed a break from the kids...we spent a day @ BBB Resort in Alcoy...and are feeling refreshed :) The room was clean...to crawly creature issues...the bathroom was better than most I experience in the Philippines...for starters, in the Philippines...have to mention, the bathroom had a toilet seat and toilet paper...not all in the Philippines do...the hot water worked, a wonderful thing in the Philippines...one negative, only local tv station on the tv...but we did not go there to watch tv...so it was a non-issue...the room had a small fridge with some local beer and soda...this was an added bonus as I can't recall seeing this was going to be offered... The pool was clean...and functioning...I have visited many resort in the Philippines that had pools, I would not want to stick my toe in...BBB Resort has a nice clean pool to enjoy...and the shading over the one area of the pool helps keep it cooler than most Philippine pool...as well as some added depth in one end of the pool... The restaurant was very accommodating...they are not scheduled to open til 7 am...we were served food about 6:15 am...we enjoyed 4 meals during our visit...all very enjoyable...especially with draft beer :) The ownership is amazing...they drove us to and from the beach at no charge...and I am talking about the ownership here...not hired help...amazing!!!

Great views of the sea from an elevated place. Nice garden environment which the rooms surround. Only two local channels on the TV, which was a bit limited.

Beautiful resort!
The resort was beautiful, I was really impressed with the natural beauty of the area including the amazing views. The staff were great and accommodating and went out of their way to help with anything we needed. I recommend this resort if you are going to Oslob for whale shark watching as there is not much else to do in the area.

Peaceful and Tranquil place with a great view
My family wanted to spend some free and easy time together. We were pleasantly surprised by the peace and tranquility at Bodo's. Watching the sunrise from the lawn of the hotel was wonderful. The grounds was clean and well maintained, not to mention the friendly staff members who were ever ready to offer help.

great location for little money
We were looking for a resort or hotel close to Oslob where we did the Whaleshark watching. Since the places in Oslob seem to be overrated to us, we picked this place, although it is about half an hour drive away from Oslob. So of course you cannot expect the bus waiting there for you in the morning, you will have to go down to the street and wave at it, as it passes by. However, the location itself is just stunning, great look, wonderful pool overlooking the ocean, nice restaurant, clean, friendly and pricely much cheaper then in the big city. Unfortunately we stayed only for one night...next time we stay longer!

AN EXCELLENT ESCAPE : UNIQUE PLACE :GRT OWNERS
Great getaway.Quiet.Great base point to go adventure dives etc. I saw that it was not a five star , but I did not want to pay for that anyway. It is 5 star in views , staff and owners.This place is on the side of mountain in Alcoy,Cebu Island...3 hrs by bus south of Cebu city It has 14 rooms ( 4 non-ac but these actually have perfect view from balcony deck) 6 with queen bed and 4 with queen bed and extra single.(we put together) Internet excellent. TV ...only local channels View from restaurant is awesome 220 degree panoramic looking across to Bohol.Only food is at restaurant...not cheap not expensive..but EXCELLENT quality. Owners are beautiful human beings and it showed after their aid to Typhoon Yolanda where they singularly were the focal point for ex-pat community there and there friends/family back in Germany to raise about $50000 to get food and materials (4 Tonnes !!!) to Daanbantayan and Bantayan Island. They took 2 trucks on 2 different occasions joyfully there.

over priced
we enjoyed our stay but there daily rate is over priced and any extras such as pillow or blanket we where ask to pay for each item daily for what they charge should be included.
Response from Alex on 9 Aug 2014
Thanks for this oppinion. It is the first time somebody tells us we are overpriced. Normallay the People ask how we can do it with this low Prices. Of course we buy our Food only at certificated asuppliers. This is more exppensive than at market where the meat is "cooked" 3 times daily with the sunlight. And for this we cannot sell like the local Restaurants who mostly don´t care about Haccp. Main probledm in the rooms is that most of our customers are happy to have an aircon. So they leave the room but still working the aircon although nobody is inside. Mainloy People don´t know that the Price of Energy is much higher in the Philippines like it is in other countries. So for washing and maintaining we Need to Charge. Everyone will understand that we do our buisiness to make Profit.Unfortuinately most People only look to their own Advantage so if both side work together there can be stopped a lot of energy and ressources. If that we also can deduct the Prices. Asa Long customers waste energy and power we have to Charge to survive.

景色を眺めて、のんびりできるコテージ
写真が素敵だったので、予約しました。 空港から3時間かかるというので、送迎サービスを利用しました。ジェットコースターに乗っているようでしたが、運転手さんはとても親切でした。 到着は深夜でしたが、素晴らしい星空で、遅いのにもかかわらず、夕飯を作っていただきました。 周りには何もなく、きれいなガーデンの中で、ブランコ、ベンチ、プールサイドで、wifiで音楽を聴きながらリラックスしました。 レストランはメニューが豊富で、価格も安く、すごくおいしかったです。特にデザート、クレープやシェイクは最高でした。 言葉はすべて英語で、とても親切でした。 ジンベイザメ、滝、ビーチに行くのに、送迎をお願いしました。ジンベイザメは混んでいるので、できる限り早く行ったほうがいいです。滝は、サメの帰りに寄るのがいいです。ビーチは何もないので、ビーチグッズをもっていったほうがいいです。運転手さんは、とても親切でした。 マッサージは、室外なので少し戸惑いました。 のんびりしたい人におすすめです。

Top Anlage mit fantastischem Blick
Wir blieben 3 Nächte und hatten eines der Zimmer mit Balkon direkt Richtung Meer. Hier kann man vom Bett aus direkt die fantastische Aussicht genießen. Das Zimmer war recht neu und top ausgestattet sowie sauber. Das Hotelpersonal war sehr zuvorkommend und auch das Restaurant ist empfehlenswert. Leider führt etwas unterhalb der Anlage die Hauptstraße vorbei, die doch deutlich zu hören ist (auf dem Balkon, im Zimmer ist es ruhig!) und der nächste Strand ist zu Fuß auch nicht zu erreichen. Trotzdem sage ich ist es mit die erste Adresse im südlichen Cebu.

Déception déception déception
Accueil médiocre , n'attendez pas une ambiance familiale dans ce resort. L'endroit est bien entretenu mais la cuisine est quelconque, beaucoup de surgelés, le service est nonchalant. 3h pour rejoindre l'aéroport et peu d'activités sur place..Contrairement à ce qu'annonce le site , il n'y a quasiment pas d'excursions organisées et le personnel se contente de dire qu'il n'y a rien sans pour autant vous aider à organiser via une agence. Très déçus..

accueillant mais manque de services
L'hôtel se trouve à 2h30 de l'aéroport. Le cadre est agréable mais nous nous apercevons rapidement que la plage n'est pas accessible depuis l'hôtel (annonce trompeuse tant au niveau des photos que des explications). Une fois la plage trouvée ne vous attendez pas à une immense plage de sable blanc (plage et eau plutôt sales). Enfin, si vous avez envie de faire des excursions, l'hôtel ne propose pas grand chose et cela coûte assez cher. C'est un hôtel étape où à mon avis 2 jours suffisent en ayant son propre véhicule afin de se balader. Le restaurant propose de nombreux plats et une vue agréable sur la mer.

오슬롭에서 세부로 이동하는 경로에 선택한 리조트
보홀->(배타고)->오슬롭->알코이의 보도스 밤부 바 리조트 ->막탄의 경로였습니다. 보홀에서 배타고 오슬롭에서 고래상어를 보고나서 막탄으로 넘어가야 하는데, 3살 5살 어린 아이들과 오랜시간 차량으로 이동하기 어려워서 중간 경로의 리조트로 선택했습니다. 리조트는 사진속 그대로의 아름다운 풍경입니다. 거기서 내려다보는 경치도 매우 좋구요. 하지만 룸컨디션은 조잡한 편이었습니다. 음식값도 맛이나 퀄리티에 비해 비싼 편이구요. 전자렌지 없다고 합니다... 그런것들 다 포기할 정도로 뷰는 좋구요, 또 가운데 정원(잔디밭)에서 아이들 뛰놀고 도마뱀잡고(게코 많아요) 게다가 새도 키우기 때문에 아이들이 참 좋아했습니다. 지금도 물어보면 거기가 좋았다고 해요. 참 밤에 별도 잘 보이고, 박쥐도 날아다녀요 ㅎㅎ 그리고 수영장 있는데, 아침에만 관리해서 새똥이 좀 떨어져있긴 하지만.. 그럭저럭 놀만했습니다. 필리핀물가와 전체 룸/리조트 컨디션과 비교해봤을 때는 확실히 싼편은 아니지만. 대체적으로 만족스러운 편이었어요.

Et koselig hotell I flotte omgivelser (bl.a en utsikt utover havet som er perfekt for å få med seg en soloppgang. Og et åpent og lite belyst området som gir den perfekte stjernehimmelen). Fint basseng hvor man ikke trenger å sloss om plassen. Det samme gjelder solsengene. God mat, spesielt frokosttilbudene. God plass på rommet.
