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!

Excellent stay with this family would highly recommend

Best ever family style comfort. Thanks so much to the great hosts!

The hosting was fantastic, I was treated like a special member of their family! It was a lovely time and I will always remember it as a great place! And “Pigeon” is a superbe chef and true gentleman!!

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.

Really cute place. We had the tiny bamboo huts which are very inexpensive. The CR is shared but clean. The owners were very nice and helpful. Not a five star hotel, but right on the water, and about 11km from the Whale Sharks.

The owner is very accommodating, staying in Maxvir feels a home away from home. Thanks ate Virgie till next time.

This place felt like home since the beginning. The place is really nice and quiet. They have video karaoke and an amazing view and access to the sea. All the staff was friendly and kind. They were really helpful and gave us some good recommendations about oslob and activities. Thank you everyone we definitely come back.

This place is great! The room are nice right on the ocean. The owners is very inviting they make you feel like family. I recommend this place to anyone!

Beautiful ocean view, resort well maintained and clean, rooms in average conditions, but very noisy air con. The bad thing, unfortunately, not easy to sleep well due to the environmental noise, the room is too close to the road. High traffic during the night.

Alex, the owner, is an amazing host and will make your experience great by constantly helping in any way he can! The hotel is clean, affordable, and well located to visit the best places South Cebu has to offer.

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.

Everything was lovely from start to finish. Sorted out transport for us for great prices. Room was small but its a little hut so expected ! Comfortable and exactly like pictures. Was able to swim in the ocean right on our accomadation.staff were amazing and very friendly. Would definitely be back !

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!

Cheap fit out. Tiny rooms. Price is well above other rooms in the area

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!

The place itself is a great place and the owner is very accomodating. They help us to get a habal habal that will tour using our customize itenerary. The place as well is very accessible and they have a very clean beach.

Had a great stay for 2 nights, staff are amazing and even went with us to the market to buy food and even helped us cook on their bbq, would highly recommend this place

Its a nice spot next to the beach. we stayed in one of the little beautiful bungalows. Virgin (owner) was very helpful, she organized the transport to whale shark watching and kawasan for a really good price. She treated us like her family and cooked pasta for us on our last day. Thank you for the nice stay!

The owner she is super nice, she was super helpful with tour information and speaks fluent English.
