海洋邊緣度假村-卡拉寶島(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.

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

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!

Это было круто. Мы знали куда мы едем, и не разу не пожалели. Полное отсутствие цивилизации, мы жили практически в лесу. Персонал отеля был потрясающим. Номера с видом на море - кайф. Свой маленький красивый пляж. Потрясающая природа. Возможность увидеть как живут обычные филиппинцы. Вообщем для перезагрузки и для единения с природой - добро пожаловать.

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.
