  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.

  Un petit coin de paradis sur l’île de Carabao

  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 would NOT book again through their official website!!

  I made the huge mistake to trust their official website and I discovered (too late) that: 1) the credit card was not just asked as guarantee. Rather, it was promptly charged for 100% of the amount (the website did not say that the room rate was intended as PREPAID but that the reservation could be cancelled without penalties up to some days before the expected check-in date). 2) When I cancelled the reservation (around 10th May 2024) it took about ONE WEEK to get the email from the hotel saying that the refund was processed and now, almost ONE MONTH AFTER THAT EMAIL I did not see any refund on my credit card yet. I already wrote to the hotel various times to get the ARN CODE, that would allow MY bank to investigate what happened to the refund "officially" disposed around one month ago and the hotel did NOT provide it, so far. Last email did not even get an (useless) answer. As a potential customer, for the cancellation I have been simply IGNORED. It is very sad to suffer such an unfair behaviour from a 4 star resort. I would not repeat the mistake to trust their website and I am writing this review only to help others not to do my same mistake, if TripAdvisor permits. If TripAdvisor does not permit, at least I tried to help others and I will not perform a new, useless, attempt. Now you know how it works. All the best.

  Ocean's Edge - the potential to be a great resort... again!

  It is all about expectations. I think we were a bit misled because the reviews said the place was 5-star. One member had great experiences of the resort's facilities pre pandemic. But three years post pandemic, the place looked rundown. There were no other guests when we checked in. Food choices were minimal. The pool was also under repair. But the positives of the place... the view of the sea and the sunset are memorable. The bed, pillows and even the thick comforter - made for excellent and restful sleep. I guess if I just wanted a place that offered a lot of nature views and was generally quiet and peaceful, I would give the resort 5 stars. But our group wanted to be able to at least swim in the beach and in the pool. But all things said, the rates were quite fair. My only complaint was the glass separating the toilet from the bedroom.
