Last week, I had an awesome time exploring South Cebu together with my nine other friends. Everything that has happened in Cebu was just priceless. From the rich history of Cebu City to best-of-the-best lechon in Carcar, to colorful underwater world of Moalboal, jaw-dropping falls and canyoneering adventure of Badian and down to whale sharks of Oslob, everything was just impeccable.
Prior to that unforgettable tour was an enjoyable yet time-consuming planning out of our group itinerary. Even though I’m used in organizing these kinds of trip, there were still times that it stresses me out because it’s really hard to find good and cheap accommodations. But I was surprised that there were a lot of budget-friendly accommodations in Oslob that’s near to our target destination which is the Tan-Awan Beach for the Whale Shark adventure. And so to help other budget-travelers, I listed down the cheapest accommodations in Oslob that I found while creating our Cebu Itinerary.
