breath taking view from the deck and from outside our room, the bar was substantial and service was amazing. The room was very clean and fresh upon arrival. The resort was able to make last minute arrangements for our iteneraries like whale watching, sardines run and kawasan falls. Staff is very very accommodating on last minute requests and arrangements with enthusiasm and big smiles.

Purpose of booking here was swimming with whale shark. From Cebu Airport it was 4.5 hours drive. We organised our pickup airport shuttle through the hotel and the driver contacted us via WhatsApp the night before our arrival. The hotel is not walking distance from town and need to ride a tricycle which is 5 mins for 7 eleven and other eateries. The room is spacious, modern and clean. We booked 2 rooms for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens), each room had a double bed and single bed. We had rooms on the ground floor which was perfect and amazing water views! Sunset and sunrise was picturesque! We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, even though it was on the pricier side, the sinigang was generous serving and was worth it. Restaurant also accepts card payment with 5% surcharge. Special mention to the great staff Edina and Marie who took good care of us through our stay. We also booked through the hotel for our whale shark tour which is so convenient. Only 15 mins ride via tricycle and the driver which is also our guide handled the check in process for the tour - we left the hotel at 7am, was swimming with the whale shark by 8am. Back in the hotel by 9am… swimming with the whale shark was one of the best experience ever! Gro-pro is a must to capture the memories. We then check out and booked through the hotel our taxi/shuttle to our next hotel at Moalboal. Tip - bring coffee sachet and conditioner as they don’t supply. There’s kettle to make your coffee.

We asked the staff if we could have dinner on the little pontoon and they went above and beyond fulfilling our request. The food was delicious! The pina colada's were fabulous!

Location and view was amazing. Perfect spot to relax after the whale sharks. Restaurant had a great selection of food at reasonable prices. We tried many of the menu options and they were all great (except the pizza). Reception staff were able to book massages for us and also sent our clothes to be washed at very reasonable prices.

All the staff were very accommodating! The room was spacious and is overlooking the sea in front where you can swim when the waves are calm. The resort is alongside the highway which has it pros like easily getting off public buses on their doorstep but can get noisy sometimes.

We spent 3 nights here and we absolutely loved it, the hotel is beautiful and so relaxing, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The access to the ocean to snorkel etc was a highlight for us, although very shallow in the morning the sea does rise throughout the day. We wanted to catch a coach from Oslob - Cebu city and the staff wouldn’t let us wait for a bus, they stood outside for around 45 mins and flagged one down for us, which was amazing and shows how caring they are. There isn’t much to do outside the hotel, so we ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel everyday and cannot complain, the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Small hotel, with all the services you could need. The staff was very helpful, they accommodated to our needs and also organised transfers and excursions for us. Perfect to stay if you want to do the whale shark experience and visit waterfalls. Amazing sunrise views! Special thanks to Marie.

Small hotel with all facilities nearby. Although the room appears dated, they were clean with room service coming in when you wanted. No doubt the best thing about Down South 118 is both the staff and the quality of food. We were treated as friends from arriving even being invited to the staff Christmas part where we received a small gift. We ate at the hotel every day and their freshly made food at all times was excellent. Well done to their young chef. The atmosphere at this hotel is brilliant No pool but a few steps took you into the water.
