GingGing Hotel and Resort

This is not bad normal but they asked us more money for food

Fantastic Value for money lovely people great service and exceptionally clean…I would have no hesitation returning. The food was great room was small but clean and the pools and view was magnificent… The lady on reception helped book the swimming with Whale shark experience all in all it didn’t disappoint!

This is just a very average hotel for tourists/ divers to stay a night or two in Oslob for whale shark viewing. Nothing fancy about the room as it’s just like any 1-2 stars hostel. There is a pool that looks like 80s design. However, the customer service is surprisingly good and the restaurant serve some basic but tasty breakfast. We had some simple dinner at the restaurant too- not great but acceptable as most the the dishes were too salty.

Stayed at the resort during our tour of south Cebu for 4 nights. The property is quiet nice though much effort can be invested in keeping the toilets and bathrooms clean(soap traces, spider webs and stained tiles). The outstanding part of our stay was the staff and service. Oliver, Kim, Mario and JoJo made our evenings and dinings memorable and nice. They always went an extra mile. A special shout out Jay our tour guide and kuya Jassie for exceptional love and services. Oooh and the beautiful sea view when dining at the resort restaurant and bar

This hotel is in a great location right on the water and just a few short minutes to the swimming with whale sharks experience. This is where all the positives end (minus the restaurant which is actually quite good). The room is dingy at best and feels like the owner doesn’t even care and gave up. The pillows are on par with the ones provided on international flights, small and not comfortable. On top of that the hotel only provides a twin size sheet as means for a comforter. The blinds barely cover the window and you can hear EVERYTHING outside the room. At 3am people were walking in the hallway making noise and the noise from the road was at all hours. I got a total of maybe 20 minutes of sleep, instead of the approximately 8 hours alloted. The roughly $65/night per room is extreme given the lack of basic ammenities and comfortable sleep option given. Also, in the 21st century only accepting cash upon check in is ABSURD. Credit card machines are cheap and readily available. Either do better or stop. The owner should be ashamed of the scam (s)he is running.
