Delight in the warmth of Filipino hospitality and personalized service that is always aimed to give you a luxurious experience. Explore the beauty of the island and welcome the chance to reconnect with nature. Rediscover the joys of simple life with the locals. We invite you to experience a different kind of luxury. The luxury of finding time for yourself. The luxury of being able to give back to nature and to make a difference in other people’s lives. This is Oceans Edge Resort. LUXURY REIMAGINED.
I originally booked for 4 nights but was enjoying it so much I ended up staying for a couple of weeks. The employees at this hotel are great, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant food had a wide variety and is good quality, although more expensive than normally in the Philippines, however the management did give me a discount so it was fine. The rooms are excellent and very well fitted out, the private beach is great for snorkelling, although there are rocks so you will need reef shoes, and the pool is great but could do with a few more sun-lounges. They provide a free shuttle each day to a beautiful white beach further around the island, it reminds me of what Boracay would have been like before all the development there. I really enjoyed my time there and will be going back again very soon. This is a 5 star resort with an affordable rate. Overall an excellent and well run resort, like I said 4 nights turned into a couple of weeks!

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 there 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. However, there is still a room for improvement from service to quality of the food.

We enjoyed our 10 days holiday in Ocean Edge, very relaxing place with have a big villas, with aircon, Big Flat Screen TV and wifi system and big Balcony. We totally enjoyed the good foods chef Yen Cinco prepared for us, Soooooo delicious and with good high standard of cooking. Staffs from housekeeping to food and beverages staffs and others Reception were totally very nice people. What can I say. We went to Poblacion town where you can find powdery sand. Manager is a very nice man he make sure that we were all safe from the typhoon Ursula, anyway the resort is still intact with very good quality built materials for Philippine typhoon. The Place is very clean which so important and food is Hygienic!!!!!! Keep up the good standard of your Hotel.

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.

All in all our stay in oceans edge resort was a bit disappointing. We read very positiv comments online and were excited to get there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, modern and very clean. When we visited the resort there hardly any other guest. The most disappointing thing during our stay was the food. Below average and very overpriced !!! Due to the remote location of the hotel, you are dependent on the hotel restaurant. We rented some bikes to get out of the resort, but beside the cliff jumping, there was nothing to do on the island. The beach connected to the resort is clean, but not very nice to lay there or having a swim, due to very big waves. No sunbeds at the beach. On our last day, other tourist told us their leaving the resort early, cause of the poor food and their accommodation. Not 4 star worthy!

Dear Victoria, Mayad nga Adlaw! Thank you for your sincere and plain-spoken feedback. We appreciate you for taking the time to bring these matters to our attention and we would like to extend our most fervent apologies for the inconveniences and shortcomings that you encountered in our resort.

1st class facility and service, but food prices are the same as in the States, plus the private beach front is only good for scenery and sit by a picnic table and walk along the shore but that's it. NO swimming can be safely done with the rocks and coral growth. One needs to travel to another established beach elsewhere on the island.

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!

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 hotel is very beautiful. You could call it the Shangrila from Carabao island. The food is very good and the staff is extremely friendly. This hotel doesn't have rooms like a regular hotel, everyone here has his own bungalow. Mine was on the cliff close to the beach. So I could here the waves I my room. The hotel comes with a completely private beach. When I was there the beach was completely empty because the other guests preferred the swimming pool.
The hotel has a private boat. They picked us up in Caticlan. After we arrived in Carabao we got picked up by the hotel van. The hotel is renting motorbikes. We rented 2 of them plus a tour guide who came with his own motorbike and like this we discovered Carabao.

This hotel is located at Carabao island not on Boracay. It is possible to visit Boracay on day trip from this resort although Carabao itself has tranquil sandy beaches. The airport is not located at Boracay, but a bigger island off Boracay. Then you need to take a ferry to either Boracay or Carabao. The resort has a boat and bus that takes you direct from airport to resort.
The resort will provide free boat transfer from and to Caticlan. Just hope the weather is good because the boat is small, we were stranded for several days due to weather and had to charter a larger boat to take us back.
