Ocean's Edge Resort

The staff went out of their way to make our stay lovely. After a night of rain, they left umbrellas outside our room. When our hired motorbike got a flat at 8:30 at night, they sent someone to rescue us and retrieve it so we could use it the next morning. Exceptional service. It’s a very remote hotel, and the restaurant doesn’t really operate normally. You can order meals, but need to place your order by 6 pm.

The staff were pleasant and polite, but the hotel itself felt neglected and run down, and the online photos were misleading. We saw two monkeys tied to a tree in the reception area, which made us uncomfortable. They also didn’t have some basic things we asked for, including milk and wine. With that and the condition of the place, we spent most of our time at another hotel down the road. The stay was underwhelming, didn’t meet expectations, and we wouldn’t choose it again.

The staff were super helpful and very nice. It’s my 11th time in the Philippines, and I’ve never had any issues with their hospitality. The food was amazing, and the chef is very skilled, which matters since there aren’t many other places to eat. We had to leave early for medical reasons, which was a shame. The villa is beautiful, quiet, spacious, and super clean. The bathroom is even bigger than my room back home in London. The location and food made it an amazing place to stay. Getting to the beach means going up and down 110 stairs. It could use some tidying, and walking barefoot can be tricky, but there’s so much to see once you’re in the water. Bring a waterproof camera if you have one.

The villa views and location were spectacular, and the property was well maintained. Everyone was pleasant and attentive to our needs and questions, and the staff made our vacation especially memorable. Special thanks to Ciarra, Merjun & Bebit. We’ll be back every year to this hidden piece of paradise.
