Ocean's Edge Resort

Carabao Island, called Hambil locally, is an amazing alternative to Boracay if you want to avoid heavy tourist traffic. We stayed at Oceans Edge Resort and the experience was beyond wonderful. You get a breathtaking view of the ocean from their restaurant, the infinity pool and your room, where sunsets are best paired with your beer! The staff are always all- smiles and are always attentive to our needs. The vibe of the resort is warm and homey. The best part is it’s not as saturated with tourists as other resorts. The resort opened in 2019 just before the pandemic restrictions hit and they had to close down. They have been slowly accepting bookings since late 2022 which we are all happy to learn, as we know this resort will have more things to offer once it’s operations go into full swing again. I hope you guys consider Oceans Edge Resort in your next trip!

We decided to try this place since it’s just an hour away from Boracay. We stayed here for only 2 nights to spend my bestie birthday. David, one of the owner is very kind and easy to talk to. He’s the one answering all my inquiries and giving instructions how to get there. He make sure that we get into the right port so we won’t missed our boat schedule. He even gave us a free room upgrade since we are celebrating our birthday months here. We stayed in their muni muni cliff villa. We love the ocean view and the spacious room for 3 of us. There are some minor problem we encountered like our backdoors in villa cannot be locked which I hope they get fixed. The bathroom is huge but it’s just hard to have your own privacy in a clear glass door with no cover. But it might work for those honeymooners. We really appreciate all efforts they did just to make my bestie birthday celebration a good one. The complimentary cake from the resort is really a Homemade with love. It’s so good and very thoughtful. The staff are so kind and respectful although some seems to be very shy to interact with the guests. Shout out to Ciara and Evian. They’re very attentive. We look forward to come back in this quite place. We hope someday it will be fully operational. They will have more choices to offer like some activity that you can do inside the resort, more food choices . I hope they will have their own F&B manager or someone that will run the operations very well. Who knows how to handle the whole resort business and also we hope they will also put more guards on duty during night time especially down at the cliff villas beach front. There should be atleast big spotlights there and some kind of alarm that you can just press if something went wrong it will make your guest feel more secured too during nighttime while sleeping. I understand the impact of pandemic brought to us and keeping up the maintenance of this huge luxury resort is such a big burden of the owners. I feel bad to see that the beauty of this resort is starting to disappear if they will not make any actions to save it. But overall we love the ambiance, the people, the peaceful quite vacation we had at Ocean Edge Resort. Btw they have a dive shop inside the resort. I just didn’t had a chance to talk to the dive manger and make inquiries. But maybe next time I will do some diving here on my next visit. Again Thank you.

This is a lovely hotel with fantastic accommodation from the outset the welcome was lovely by the owner and I was quickly shown to my room which was lovely, comfortable and modern. Fully air conditioned and lovely large bathroom with wet room shower and facilities. I ate breakfast lunch and dinner in the restaurant which was excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel on a beautiful island.

I stayed here from Dec 26th 2021 to January 6th 2022. I was lucky (or not) that i am the only guest they actually catered during my stay. There were a couple of families who visited the place but they only were there for day use of the pool. The whole place is huge and there's so much to explore. The rooms (villas & cabanas) are gorgeous and cozy. The staff (especially Jisrelle in the reception) are nice and their housekeeping team are all very accommodating to requests. If there's a disadvantage that i was their only guest was that they have limited menu, and PAG-ASA declared a no-sail gale warning from Dec 30 to Jan 5 so the island didn't have much fresh supplies for the NY. Aside from that, there was a recent typhoon which affected their wifi/internet in the resort & the island so it's hard to have a stable connection & wasn't possible to work from there.

I stayed at the resort for a few nights with a friend in February, and it was a wonderful relaxing end to our five-week trip on the Philippines. The owner, David, constantly stayed in touch with me to make our stay comfortable, gave us information about the ferry schedule and coordinated pickup from the pier. My friend went diving with the resort's dive center almost daily and had a great time with the instructors. The restaurant was also really good, able to accommodate special requests and with a decent variety of vegetarian dishes. The pool has a great view overlooking the ocean. We stayed in one of the big cliffside villas and they were stunning. Cleaning everyday, streaming service available on the flat screen TV, WiFi available all through the resort. We had a few short power outages but that is to be expected in this country :) Staff was wonderful and even prepared a small flower bouquet for valentine's day! All in all, would love to come back someday!

Our family had the best time in this property. Coming from the pandemic, admittedly, there were some challenges e.g., private boat to bring us from Caticlan to Carabao Island, roadwork enroute the property, limited food choices, yet, the staff made it up to us with good service, warm smiles, and overall friendly and homely stay. We miss waking up to the sound of the ocean in front of our villa. It was a very quiet vacation indeed. We had some challenges too with the wifi given that we were working and studying during our first week. Yet, we were able to make it through the help of the property. Admittedly, as the resort is in a quiet island, there will be challenges with internet and phone signals. If you so decide to stay here, be prepared to rough it up, have a quiet time with family, rest, and enjoy the wonderful beaches of Carabao Island. Thank you Ocean's Edge for taking care of our family amidst the challenges. We appreciate it!

Every spot is picture perfect no need for filter 👌 I love the birds flying around. Amenities: All amenities are well maintained. Infinity pool is superb.🏊‍♂️ Food: Foods are freshly served from their farm and is prepared with love 🍲❤️ Rooms: Insanely huge and very relaxing with complete room FACILITIES. Lastly, Staff: Very accommodating and respectful. They will treat like a King or Queen. They will make sure that your stay will be memorable. Kudos to Bryan, Jisrelle and the rest of the team, could no longer remember their names.🤔 Joebert 11.11

Booked and paid for 2 months in the presidential villa and invited 14 overnight guests between 2-7 days. My booking was from February 1 until March 31, 2021 and I moved out 10 days early without a refund. Pro: Spectacular location New facilities Friendly staff Con: The lady and the gentleman who remotely manage the resort from Manila and Cebu have zero experience how to build, maintain and run a resort. They hired people without any hospitality experience, the general manager was a former housekeeping manager. Result: My guests and my family had food poisoning because the kitchen was never properly cleaned nor was there anybody who checks the food or kitchen staff. The manager got drunk while my guests were here and he double booked my reserved villas. Some guest villas had no AC and service for my guests was so chaotic that I ended up taking care of everything myself, from organising to get the villas cleaned to making sure there was toilet paper in the bathrooms. In the restaurant, they served a cake and one of my guests found a bit of metal wire inside the cake where previously a candle was attached. He was afraid that he may have swallowed a piece of wire. We asked the staff where they buy their cakes and they said other guests brought a cake for a birthday party and this piece was a left over! Fortunately, my guest was fine and got lucky since he found the metal wire before he swallowed any. When I finally announced my departure, the lady and the gentleman from the board sent me threats. I think if the investors in the resort replaced the board and hired experienced hospitality management, this could be one of the most beautiful experiences in the Philippines. Warning: One of my guests is a construction engineer and made me and my guests aware that we must not enter the cliff terrace in front of the restaurant because it has a severe structural problem (walk on it and you will feel how it moves up and down). The board was aware of it and allowed any guests and groups to use it anyway, and even dance on it, which is extremely dangerous. I just came across a lot of old positive reviews - possibly from people who were invited to stay for free during the opening period - and I decided to leave my comments although it has been a while ago that I stayed there. People cannot see behind closed kitchen doors and I had full kitchen access during my entire stay, and it was definitely a health hazard to eat there. Until someone with restaurant experience cleans up and properly handles food, and until someone with hospitality experience manages the rest, this resort should be avoided. Hopefully, the people who invested in this resort check what's going on there and come to their senses. A few examples: The cheap wood used for construction is already rotten, therefore cliff walkways and villa roofs need to be renovated. All bikes are broken because they are left outside, staff uses oily mops that ruin expensive curtains and then replace them with c

隔壁村民，由早上六點之前開始播放強勁音樂，到晚上十點 （即是現在，現在十點半了）， 雖然有大約一百米的距離，但音樂太勁爆，請問如何睡覺？ 度假村工作人員話不好意思，但誰去處理過？？？？？ 工作人員説是春節，別玩啦，春節。 他們由過春節嗎？而且今晚是第三晚了，你們不也是想客人忍受幾晚嘈吵到難以入睡的情況嗎？？？？？ 我們打算度假休息，卻遇到這個情況。。。。。 環境雖然漂亮，疫情後有些破敗是可以理解的，但由日出前吵到深夜的這刻還未有停就確實太過分
