We had a fabulous stay at this resort. Inexpensive yet very clean and has access to the water. An elevated dining area just over the water makes for a memorable dining experience soothed by the sea breeze to temper the hot humid day.

You can cook your own food instead of buying or eating in a restaurant..owner is friendly, the whole place is good, except for the aircon which is very noisy, hope they could fix it..but we will definitely come Back here to stay and enjoy bonding with our staff.

#1 Service
The staff was fantastic! You should meet the owner herself—She is sooo sweet and sharing. Her brother is very helpful & responsible too as he arranged my whaleshark trip! Something off my bucket list now. There is a good restaurant (AC Payalok) about 5min away (near where the Quartel is but if Alex is free, you can ask him to buy back. There’s also an excellent chicken manok( grilled chicken) place at the whale watching site (20m from the sea) only for 220p -240p for the entire chicken with hanging rice. Tip: the whalewatching Q may take 1-2h and they’ll give you a ticket number m. So if you have to wait you may want to head there to eat. Tell the annoucer with the mic that you’re going off too eat& If you’ve missed your turn you can tell them and they’ll slip you right back into the Q. The sea view& breeze from the inn is great! Some rooms have a fan & some have AC. Mine had the fan which was good enough as it was cold at night. Her neighbours have chickens which woke me up at 1am. Just bring your towels& toiletries too! This is a basic place but the service is excellent!

Friendly and welcoming accommodation
While I was just staying one night at Maxvir Inn, Virgie, the owner, made me feel extremely welcome. The guide and driver they arranged for my time in Oslob was excellent and very friendly. My cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable and you could hear the sea from inside it which was nice. If I were to return to Oslob I'd stay here again without a doubt.

Best little bungalow in the Oslob area
I stayed in the coolest little beach bungalow/tiny house at Maxvir Inn Beach Resort. They’re located right on the water, and have their own private swimming area/ocean entrance. There is a kitchen, with free filtered water, and the nicest people you will ever meet. Each member of the family made a point to chat with me about their favorite Oslob secrets and ask me about life in California. They even invited me to sing karaoke with me one night when they rented a videoke machine for their personal use! They're just far enough from town that it felt rustic rather than touristy… while still being walking distance from the touristy stuff. (It takes about 15-20 minutes.) There is a little shop right there for your convenience. One final touch: when it was time for me to leave, I needed to catch a bus to Bato, to take the ferry to Dumaguete. Just then, it started raining... and the owner came out to wait in the rain with me and make sure that I didn't have any trouble flagging down the bus. I'm 99% sure it would have driven right by without his help -- truly above and beyond what I could have expected.

Incredible value, beautiful location!
All I can say isn’t wow. Beautiful clear ocean that the property is right next to. We stayed in the budget accommodation here which was a simple bamboo hut - communal cooking area and bathrooms which were always kept clean, but you can also stay in rooms with private bathroom, even right on the sea if you wish. Free drinking water for guests, good free WiFi, and excellent owners! If this is your first stop upon arrival in Cebu Airport, you will need to get a taxi (php 250-500 depending on white or yellow cabs) to the bus station. There is only one so they will know where you need to go. Then get a bus (php 135 approx pp) headed for Oslob. Tell the conductor or driver that you want to stop at Maxvir Inn Beach Resort (most locals speak English and are very helpful so will be able to help you stop at the right place if you are unsure.) The place is quiet (depending on who else is staying there) apart from the occasional bus/lorry, and the staff will help you organise trips/whaleshark watching/motorbike hire etc from reception. I can’t reccomend this place more whether you are travelling on your own, a couple or a family!

Staff treat you like family and so welcoming and helpful. The guide they provided me with was great. He made me feel safe and uncomfortable while making sure I wasn't taken advantage of. The view of the ocean was STUNNING. Simple shower in a cemented cubicle but clean and all you need for travelling. No served food but guide can take you down the road to restaurants. I would definitely go back!

Wonderful staff and comfy/cute bungalow
Virginia and her family were welcoming from the start! They checked us into our bungalow and promised to assist with anything we might need. And they did deliver! The next morning there was a motorbike promptly to take us to see the whale sharks. He got us the fair price and held our belongings while we swam. We thoroughly enjoyed exchanging conversation and culture with Virginia. She goes above and beyond for her family and her guests. This shows in little ways like the free coffee and tea she has available. Thanks for a great stay!

I visited to Oslob for whale shark watching. The room that I stayed in was a small bamboo house, but it was comfortable. And I could see the beautiful scenery there. The guest house is a little far from the whale shark watching point, but the owner introduced his friend to me. The friend took me to the whale shark watching by motorcycle and helped me with my whale watching. After that, he took me to Liloan port at a low price. They are very kind. I want to stay there again.
