Ocean's Edge Resort

A beautiful oasis in the quiet island of Carabao. A hidden gem! We organised a private boat from Boracay to and from the island and were able to dock at the hotel beachfront making it even more special an experience. The room was wonderful, clean and with an incredible ocean view. We had the entire hotel to ourselves pretty much, with only a few other guests staying at the time, and were treated like VIPs. We opted for dinner at the hotel each night and lunch on our last day and were delighted by the quality of the Filipino style food cooked by Chef Melvin. The staff, Gloria and Ciarra, were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They organised massages for us and scooters to tour round the island ready for us at the hotel on our second day. This was a great way to see all the beaches and cathedral cove. The roads were really good to drive on. The hotel beach offered incredible snorkeling. Definitely recommend taking a few days to visit Carabao island and stay at this hotel if you can, for the ultimate in relaxation and an opportunity to explore an undiscovered island.

Nous avons eu la chance de séjourner 3-4 jours dans ce resort absolument magique, niché en pleine nature, sur la paisible île de Carabao. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été enveloppés par une atmosphère de calme total, de silence et de sérénité qui nous a immédiatement déconnectés du monde. Le cadre est tout simplement splendide : une végétation luxuriante, une piscine splendide où il fait bon se détendre à toute heure, et une ambiance apaisante comme on en trouve rarement. Le personnel mérite une mention spéciale — chaque membre de l’équipe est d’une gentillesse remarquable, toujours souriant, attentionné et prêt à aider avec le cœur. On se sent vraiment accueillis comme à la maison, mais avec le luxe et la tranquillité en plus. La cuisine, quant à elle, est un vrai coup de cœur : des plats savoureux, préparés avec soin et amour, qui subliment les saveurs locales. Nous nous sommes régalés du matin au soir. Ce séjour a été une parenthèse enchantée que nous ne sommes pas prêts d’oublier. Et si un jour nos pas nous ramènent à Carabao, nous reviendrons ici les yeux fermés. Merci pour tout, vous avez rendu notre voyage inoubliable !

Hotellrummet var väldigt fint och fräscht. Sista dagen vakna vi till en stor kackerlacka i badrummet vilket inte var så trevligt. Hotell resorten i sig var väldigt förfallen vilket var väldigt synd då det fanns mycket potential till att vara fint. Poolområdet och receptionen var väldigt fint och rent. Maten var under all kritik. Maten blir heller inte bättre på själva ön. Personalen som jobba där var väldigt trevliga och omhändertagande. När vi anlände till hotellet var vi de enda gästerna vilket var lite läskigt, dagen där på kom det någon mer gäst. Väldigt få gäster till ett så pass stort hotell vilket vi tyckte var konstigt.

I stayed at this resort for 4 nights as honeymoon and had amazing experiences, the staffs were very friendly , good hospitality, and most of all outstanding ocean view from the hotel! We’ll definitely come back for the holiday!

Okay the rooms are great a nice poolnixe friendly staff but food and drinks are limited no wine etc and food could be much better and many items not available. Beach area could be tidter. I would go again for the location and rooms

Unfortunately very disappointing. Expect the view from the Mountain Villa room. The room itself is good, but have to be improved dramatically. Shower is terrible, no water pressure and it is quite disgusting as it is shower curtain. Super difficult to arrive, no private transfers from Caticlan or Boracay. Public boat available only, plus tips we had pay for luggages helpers. It says 1h from Caticlan but it takes at least 1h20min, and the sea is super rough. If rains, there was not much do to. Restaurant, breakfast is really very low level. No food options nor drinks. No beach sun-beds or service is provided. Staff is lovely but not trained or prepare for tourism.

The resort is in a beautiful location, overlooking the sea. The island is quiet and peaceful, ensuring total relaxation. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful. An authentic island experience!

Absolutely wonderful place for a peaceful relaxing time!!

Carabao island feels like being situated on the edge of the world and what's more appropriate then staying in the Ocean's Edge hotel - a piece of luxury surrounded by nature. The hotel boat picked us up from Caticlan airport (get a Motorized tricycles from the airport to SE hotel which is the meeting point). The boat trip is an hour from there to Carabao island. They have two pickup slots 10:30am and 2:30pm. We stayed in the hotel just after the typhoon (december 2019) when all the comms and internet were down. The staff was very helpful and made sure to overcome all the complexities we had after the nature disaster e.g. the electricity was on and off, no communication with the rest of the world. There is not much around the hotel but the staff is very accommodating and if you request to go to town they can drive you there on demand so you don't feel trapped in the resort. The small beach below the hotel is great for chilling out or for snorkeling. Also you can arrange a dive or a snorkelling trip with the Vibrations Dive Center which is located on the beach. Guillaume and Manu are so passionate about what they do and they have lots of stories about the oceans and its creatures to share. Highly recommended! The only comment about the service is that the restaurant staff are very slow, however, during our 5 days stay we have noticed the gradual improvement. The menu of the restaurant is vast and should be chopped in order to speed up the process.

There are a lot of good things about Oceans Edge, the staff is wonderful; every person we came in contact with greeted us with a smile and was eager to help us. Big rooms with comfortable beds. There is free filtered water provided and the staff will happily refill your bottle whenever you’d like. The views of the ocean are great and the resort itself is very new. Unfortunately it feels a bit too new and possibly unfinished. There are a lot of details that are missing. There is no WiFi in the rooms, you have to go to the lobby to use it, and it’s a remote resort so we had no phone signal either. for 2 of the days the WiFi wasn’t working at all which was frustrating. Our first room felt unfinished, the shower clearly had holes in the floor where a full enclosure should have been but there was only one small divider so when you showered the entire bathroom flooded! We had a problem with ants in the room and after the second night of killing dozens of them we gave up and asked for a new room. Again the staff was very helpful, they sent someone to help with the problem the first night and then moved our room without issue. There is nothing around the resort for miles which is fine but they only have one option as a restaurant and it’s grossly overpriced for the Philippines. The food is ok but limited options and it’s the only place to eat! I think in a year or two this will be a great place to stay but until it’s completely finished and the flaws ironed out I’d probably avoid it

나만 알고 싶은 리조트... 아직 많이 알려지지 않아서 거의 빌린거나 다름 없습니다. 다만 칼리보로 온다면 섬으로 가고 오는 길이 매우 힘듭니다. 그것만 감수할 수 있다면 천국을 보시게 될거에요. 4인 가족인데 투어도 가이드도 호텔에서 붙여주고 아주 편했어요. 고급스럽고 깨끗하고 조용하며 편한 리조트를 원한다면 가보세요. 밤수영 제한없고 아침에 가보면 낙엽 하나없이 깨끗해요. 한국인 중국인 1도 없고 필리핀 고위층 유럽 사람들만 아는 곳입니다. 보라카이 갈 바에는 천배 더 낫습니다.

facility was very good, ambiance was cool... everything was ok except that there was no water supply on our day of check out.
