Ocean’s Edge Resort by Hiverooms

A lovely hotel in a beautiful location. The beach is not a beach for swimming but nice for snorkeling. The staff helped us rent scooters and we had a great time riding around island.

The sleep quality here is guaranteed to be comfortable—it's quiet, relaxing & you are literally immersed in nature, with oceanfront views and bird sounds as well. As for the food and drinks, they’re minimal, but I didn’t mind since I'm not a foodie and I have an allergy to alcohol. My focus was on enjoying the scenery, exploring the island, land tour, snorkeling & not staying in the hotel all day or indulging myself in amenities. It’s a bit of a logistical challenge being on an island, & it’s understandable. I wasn’t expecting everything to be the same as a typical or luxurious hotel, per se. I even brought my own dental kit and hairdryer. Minor issues includes no hand soap & dental kit, but the staff were quick to provide after I requested. Another small issue was the door lock, was tricky to open. I arrived earlier than the usual check-in time so I understand that the room wasn’t ready. Is it worth it? You get what you pay for, so yes, it’s worth it! You get the view, a spacious-clean bathroom, and a large room. As an accounting graduate, I tend to consider value before paying for anything, and I felt this stay was well worth it. An entire cabana was mine. It’s cheap compared to the original price. The staff, especially Jeffrey and Ciara, were incredibly kind and easy to talk to. They even surprised me with a delicious birthday cake courtesy of Chef Ronnie which was so nice. And Chef Melvin for the best garlic chicken I’ve ever tasted—seriously! It feels like home. Can’t wait to come back in March ! 🤞 The property is huge and literally at the edge of the ocean. it requires regular maintenance—something the resort/hotel lacks. I suggest a couple of sunbeds at the beach as well. The location is isolated and quite far from Poblacion, but it has beautiful beaches nearby if you wish to explore, along with restaurants. There are several villas and cabanas to choose from. You can swim or go snorkeling by the beach. So, if you're not picky or high-maintenance and are simply looking for a relaxing night's sleep after a tiring land tour or water activity, I highly recommend this place for you.

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.

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.
