A Review of Sacha's Resort

View outside the resort

Sacha's Resort is a resort located in Oslob Cebu. It is one of our choices because Tripadvisor has a lot of good reviews about it with its cheap accommodation.

It is a family-run business owned by a Filipina and her German (I am not sure) husband. Guess where the name came from? It is the name of their son, Sacha. You heard it right. He is a male.

This place is very close to the famous whale sharks (30 mins away), Aguinid falls (40 minutes away) and Kawasan falls (one hour away). Additionally, it is a 10-minute walk to the prominent and wonderful Heritage park.

How to go there? From CBST (Cebu South Bus Terminal), there is a bus that goes directly to Oslob. The whole travel will take 3 hours from Cebu city and the bus will pass directly at Sacha's resort. However, because we do not know that it will pass the resort, we asked the driver to alight at the tricyle terminal near the resort. Fare to Oslob from Cebu city is 140php.

What do they offer? They have swimming pool, which has a great view facing the ocean and you can sit outside while waiting for the sunrise or sunset. They also serve breakfast for 125 php plus but I would suggest to walk near the market because there are a lot of street foods offering grilled fish, barbecue and grilled eggplant and sea weeds. It is totally delicious, cheaper and healthier than the foods in the resort. The street food market is near the Heritage park and is open in the morning and at night. Also, they have a driver who can bring you to places I mentioned above that will cost 600php each. Because we are only 4 in the van, we paid 2400 php, Tip: This is a bit expensive because places are near the resort. You can ride a bus instead because it is abundant in the area.

Room: The room that we have stayed has 2 large beds good for 4 persons, air-conditioned and has a bathroom inside. It is simple and if you are a backpacker it is great for a price of 750php each night.

Verdict: 7/10
The staff is kind and hospitable. During our stay, there is a slight rain shower making us apprehensive to leave Cebu to Bohol because we need to ride the boat directly from Oslob. Because of this, the staff from Sacha called the seafarers and asked if the travel is safe. Luckily, they informed us that we can ride a boat from Oslob. The resort is well maintained because they have a number of staff in the resort. The room, pool and bathroom is clean. On the negative side, I think their tour and food is a bit expensive.
