The seaview and clean room
Nil
We stayed at the resort for two weeks and had a wonderful experience. The views were beautiful, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always available to assist us with activities, transportation, laundry, food, and anything else we needed. The food was also delicious, with a great variety of menu options to choose from. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this resort.
One suggestion for improvement would be to add a coffee machine, as only filter coffee is currently available. It would be a nice addition for guests who prefer other types of coffee.
The location was amazing. We enjoyed sitting out enjoying the view and the staff were lovely.
The shower in our bathroom needed more water pressure.
Es perfecto, tranquilo, precioso lugar, gente super amable… un lugar de ensueño.
Nada
Location, location, location… I would rate this property as a “hidden gem” … very nice size room with patio .. incredible views from the westerly facing patio outside my room and the views of the bay from the restaurant overlooking the infinity pool - especially in the evening and the sun is setting. Nice and quiet inside a gated property off of a secondary road so no road noise. Easy access to the lightly traveled roadways allowing for safe walks. Front desk staff and restaurant staff were very courteous and helpful. Location selected for proximity to Liloan-Sibulan ferry over to Dumaguete. Would I stay here again? An enthusiastic “yes!”
Water pressure in the shower was low and the hot water wasn’t much past warm.
perfect very nice
The room was great and view amazing. It was for sure worth the money and best hotel in the area but its not crowded at all and doesn't get enough people.
The pool deck honestly, you have to wear shoes around the pool deck becasue its really rough, but the infinity pool and the view really make you not care.
Large room, proximity to ferry terminal (walking distance)
Arrived at 7.30 pm restaurant already closed even web site stats opening hours till 9pm. No alternative nearby. Dirty in front of Hotel and - not responsibility of Hotel - neighboring veranda Friendly but low key service
We had a large room with a fantastic view. One evening we saw dolphins from our balcony. Once you got over the peddle beach the snorkelling was really good. Loads of different fish. The pizza was fantastic.
Information of amenities outside the hotel were non existent. A basic information book would have been helpful. e.g. local shops and route to the ferry, access to taxis
Just like the pictures, only better. You can’t beat the view and the hospitality.
Sometimes the food service was a bit slow and underwhelming. But all of the employees were absolutely wonderful.
Smaakvolle bungalow, zeer luxe ingericht en stille airco.
Dat we niet konden bijboeken.
love the room and the view- amazing! great wifi and reception.
hot water is slow but it’s a small thing
Die Unterkunft und alle Einrichtungen waren sehr gepflegt. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Aussicht von den Appartments direkt aufs Meer ist überwältigend.
Die Unterkunft ist eine Oase im Alltag der philippinischen Umgebung. Die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der nahen Ortschaft sind begrenzt; der einzige Geldautomat in der weiteren Umgebung war 1 Woche lang nicht befüllt.
La terrasse sur la mer
de locatie was prachtig uitkijkend over de zee. Ruime kamers met uitzicht. Fijne bedden, heerlijke douche.

Very peaceful resort with beautifully designed rooms with large balconies overlooking the sea. A refreshing pool. Good food. Excellent location for access to the port
The orange juice is not fresh but is made from powder which is such a shame given the fresh fruit in this country
Ocean fronting infinity pool in a quiet location with wonderful service
Gutes Essensangebot, sehr freundliches Personal, gute Möglichkeiten um Touren zu organisieren.
Strand war sehr dreckig beim Hotel.
The property had big rooms and staff were friendly. We were lucky enough to be there on a night that the wood fire pizza oven is turned on - great pizzas. Awesome view
Beach out the front had lots of sea urchins - even with the reef shoes provided, it’s not a great place to swim or snorkel
Завтрак, отношение персонала, наличие близко супермаркетов.
Далеко от метро и моря, грязное окно, неудобная ванная комната.
Unbeatable views. Calm and peaceful right on the sea. Clean and comfy place, up to western standards.
Really lovely property, infinity pool above the beach
The room was big, a fabulous bathroom, and a kettle which was much appreciated. It was cleaned every day, the beds and the pillows, very important for us at our age, were perfect. The view was awesome and the pool lived up to expectations. Amazing view and glorious sunsets and sunrises. The staff could not help enough, the food was good. We did not want to leave.
nothing
Amazing view,great brick oven pizza,pool is always spotless
I couldn't stay longer 😭
Spacious and clean room with an amazing sea view
Friendly staff, great snorkeling.
Stayed a couple of times. The relaxed nature of the resort is so welcomed. Infinity pool is great but the vista looking over the strait between Cebu island and Negros is the star. The rooms are awesome. The place keeps getting better and better...the owner keeps investing in the resort. In the late afternoon, walking down to Liloan and finding the best seafood and taking it back for the kitchen to cook is a delightful way to end the day. The resort is close to the fastcraft ferry port so flying into Dumaguete Airport and getting the fastcraft ferry across makes it easy.
Nothing negative...
Clean modern and very pleasant balcony with perfect views.
Driving on very narrow road. Parking ramp is terrible. There is no beach or easy access to the sea.
amazing reception followed by two days of great food,service clean grounds and pool and an amazing view from the room patio. Been traveling the Phillipines with my wife the last two years. Her birthday is in two weeks and she wants to return here to celebrate it. A big thank you to Luz for her 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ customer service!
Outstanding staff and amazing view in each room.
Minor drainage issues in the shower.
Convenient location, great value and staff
The shower floor gets slowly flooded when you shower. Hopefully they can fix some clogging issues
We had our flight cancelled and had to delay our arrival from Singapore for an entire day. I called the front desk at 3 a.m. to let the know we would be delayed. They made sure that our driver waited and pick us up at the airport. And when we arrived at the resort at 4 a.m. the next day, we were taken immediately to our room, where we spent a very restful day recharging after our ordeal. Such a quiet location, too. We loved it!
Nothing.
Very private and neat. Well designed and comfortable room. Beautiful view!
Not the best beach. Menu offer. Missing fresh fruit which is typical for Philippines, like papaya, mango, coconut, avocado…
Beautiful views, overlooking pool to the ocean and mountains. Clean stylish rooms with overlooking balcony. Very respectful and helpful staff. Wish we could have stayed longer.
The beautiful view, delicious food, cold AC, hospitable staff, amazing snorkeling opportunities right on the property, stocked fridge. The staff are very accommodating, rental scooters, tips for things to do. They supply kayaks, snorkels, life jackets. Very close to liloan port to visit from Dumaguete. We truly love this place and will always come back when we are visiting the Philippines.

All rooms had a balcony with a beautiful view of the sea and nearby island. Staff was amazing. They were very helpful and attentive to all our needs. It was a long drive from Mactan to the resort, but it was ideal location to the excursions and the port.
Incredible views and you fall asleep to the ocean waves!! Spacious rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Affordable massages in your room! Accommodated late check in well. Gorgeous infinity pool with amazing views of the water and the surrounding islands. Included snorkels / kayaks etc!
Included breakfast was reasonable.
Spectacular view and a charming hotel. Nice pool but wish that they had a bit larger area to sit around the pool. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful.
We chose hotel to be closer to the excursions we wanted to do. It was a long way to travel from airport was the only downside.
Our room was very large and had nice amenities. The balcony was huge and overlooked the ocean.
Fantastic place! The room feels like a little cottage with a giant balcony overlooking the sea. Sound of waives can be heard in the room. The staff is super friendly and the food is great.
Only two items need some improvement. The shower, hot water comes and goes. Second one is just a suggestion. With a giant balcony it could have had some more places to relax other than two simple chairs. A lounge bed or nice outdoor sofa would fit easily.
The service. The cleanliness. The amazing view off of the large wonderful terrace to watch beautiful sunsets. The sliding doors that opened out onto the terrace. The large room. The large closets. The room itself was unlike any I've seen in my travels in that the walls were entirely tiled with stone as well as the floor. Very clean. The infinity pool looking out over the ocean was incredible and the water was a comfortable temperature to swim in. Ye-ye at the front desk was incredibly helpful in planning connections and transfers to airports and set up a fishing trip for my husband with a local person. The location was quiet and there were very few tourists in town. That was appreciated since we were already 5 weeks on vacation in touristy areas in both the Philippines and Thailand.
What they called a beach in front of their hotel was laughable. No sand. No Netflix.
The sea view is amazing and it's a great location.
We couldn't stay longer.
Spectacular balcony view of Negros Oriental's Dumaguete City and Mt. Talinis.
Access security features were primitive.
The Resort is set in a perfect, peaceful location above the sea shore looking across to Dumaguete. The facilities are excellent throughout and there is a lovely infinity pool. The rooms are very spacious each with private balconies. The staff couldn’t be more helpful.
There is nothing not to like.
Beautiful property with a beautiful view of the sea. Rooms are clean, spacious and with a great balcony. Staff very friendly and professional. Restaurant was also good . The pool is beautiful
There are no restaurants and bars in the area. You have to take transportation to other sites . We love coffee and the hotel does not offer espresso or cappuccino.
Design of swimming pool, dining area, room and balcony, food quality and attention given by staff were wonderful. Maintenance of the two adjacent rooms including the air conditioners and bathrooms were different but good enough for our 3 nights’ stay. I appreciate how the new balcony lock design ensured higher security.
Beachfront

The location was perfect. The small private owned resort has a Spanish vintage feel to it. Each room has a huge balcony that faces the ocean, so the soothing beach waves were nice to hear while having coffee in the morning or a beer at night. The bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. We didn’t use it but there’s an infinity pool next to the eating lounge. There are stone steps down to the beach. Breakfast is made to order and is very good. The staff is exceptional. It’s a good walk around the property. The property is gated at night.
Some items were broken like the water kettle. The bathrooms definitely need an upgrade…badly. A nice clean upgraded bathroom is the key selling point for me. Why don’t resorts focus on cleaning their grout, I don’t get it. This resort would thrive if they upgraded their bathrooms.
Perfect

Everything is perfect. From location, food to service. It’s so heavenly watching sunset and sunrise everyday. Feels like paradise from the balcony. Plus they will give you snorkeling gear to go down to the beach. It’s actually amazing to find hidden gem in a place like this. I love it. And I’ll definitely comeback. I just want to say Thank you for the staff who was nice and friendly.
The place has a beautiful vue on the Negros island which offers wonderful sunset. The swimming pool is small but very pleasant. The food is simple but tasteful at reasonable prices.
There is no beach with sand and the sea near the hotel is full of garbage.
A little gem in a quiet location near Oslob. All rooms had an ocean view, the pool and restaurant area were very comfortable, and all staff were amazing. Well worth a stay.
The resort was great but the travel there by road was average. The roads were single lane for most of the trip from Cebu City and there were several delays due to road works. The resort itself it very peaceful and relaxing.
Clean and spacious rooms, friendly and helpful staff, quality food at reasonable prices, peaceful and relaxing location with great snorkelling parallel to the resort.
Good sized, clean pool. Rooms are spacious with good air con. Staff are very helpful and really helped us out with a transport problem when we left. During low season it will be quiet, there were a couple of days where we were truly the only ones there. There is access to the sea from the hotel, it’s rock based, no sand, with coral. Watch out for urchins and you’ll also be sharing the waters with locals fishing for something but a good spot for snorkelling. Balconies face out to the sea with pleasant views.
Bathroom was tired and could do with a bit of renovation, poor water pressure too. Breakfast has limited options none of which include fruit. There’s a sign at the entrance that says no food or drink to be brought on site, corkage at 250PHP per person. This stressed my wife a bit as she wanted to buy some fruit, and it feels dishonest to bring a beer home. Needed to ask for new towels/toilet paper, along with leaving trash outside for collection but it’s low season so maybe not as much staff. It’s a really long journey from Cebu city (~5hr by car/bus). Far easier to fly into Dumaguete, catch the passenger ferry from Sibulan port and then walk to the hotel. There are ferries every hour from 10am to 5pm but if the weather turns bad they won’t sail.
all is perfect
all
I love how quiet the property is the staff is also amazing! Second time here and will be back years to come❤️
Nothing to dislike the place is amazing love 10/10
My recent stay at Eden Resort in Cebu left much to be desired. While the hotel boasted of a spa and wellness area on Booking.com, this was far from the reality upon arrival. The hotel informed us that the spa area had been fully booked for the entire duration of our stay, effectively rendering it inaccessible to all guests. This misleading advertising on Booking.com led to a significant disappointment and frustration. On a positive note, the hotel itself and the rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. The staff members were courteous and accommodating, adding a touch of warmth to our stay. However, the experience was marred by the rude behavior of the hotel owner, which left a sour taste in our mouths. Despite the pleasant aspects of the accommodation, the absence of the promised spa and wellness area significantly detracted from the overall experience. It's essential for hotels to accurately represent their amenities on booking platforms to avoid misleading guests and prevent such instances of dissatisfaction. In conclusion, while Eden Resort in Cebu offers comfortable accommodation and courteous staff, the misleading advertising and lack of amenities detracted from what could have been an enjoyable stay. Potential guests should be wary of the disparity between the advertised features and the actual offerings of this establishment.
We enjoyed the view where you can see the mountains, sea and lots of trees and plants. We love the quietness and hot weather. We enjoyed the food. The room is nice. It has balcony with table and two chairs where you can sit, relax, see the mountain, sea and beautiful sunset. They have spacious wardrobe where you can put all your stuff. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. It’s far from crowds and noisy vehicles where is more relaxing for us. Our kids enjoyed the pool where you can see the beautiful view. Also they have a nice play area for the kids like swings, trampoline, etc. We are very grateful we found this paradise and hopefully when we go back to Cebu we will definitely go back again to this resort.
We love everything in the property. The only thing we want though is other options to eat because we love seafood and grills but it’s way far from resort. Overall we love the resort and food and the people who works there.
Room was quite big and balcony looked out over the sea. Pool was super clean. Be wary that the pool gets deep quite rapidly. Small area around the pool. Staff were fantastic and very accommodating. We left for an early day trip and they packed breakfast for us. Meals were good. We stayed over the weekend so were able to enjoy a pizza. Walking distance from the ferry port - although be aware that it is all uphill.
Limited amenities around the area. Everything else was good.
Beautiful view, lovely staff and very helpful
Need more shade over the pool
Excellent Pizza
Accommodation is staying in bungalows overlooking the sea. They were huge with good Bathroom. Staff were amazing. Wonderful sunsets.
Nice place Nice room Nice dîner
Breakfast was a little bit poor.
We have stayed at Eden before and rate this as one of the best resorts to stay anywhere in the Philippines. This time again it did not disappoint. Whole resort has a very quiet, relaxed intimate vibe - you feel like you're the only ones using the resort. 1. Location is stunning 2. Infinity pool is great 3. Rooms are a great size and comfortable and balconies looking over the water are amazing 4. Food, plunger coffee and drinks are great. Cocktails are excellent. 5. Staff are really great. Nothing is too much trouble. 6. Last night the resort provided a DJ (BudoyMaraboles (Insta @budoypix_art)) and was excellent and had all of the 12 family members dancing in the pool.
1. Wifi has always been bad everytime we have stayed and it's still terrible with the SmartBro. Unfortunately the phone signal is also not good so trying to watching a video is a frustrating experience of continuous buffering. 2. No bidets in the bathrooms 3. Water pressure can be quite low sometimes
Beautiful property overlooking the beach. We enjoyed the food and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate transportation and a tour to nearby Tumalog Falls.
Very nice and peaceful place to relax. Yummy brick oven pizza,one of the best. Helpful staff. Near to the port going to Dumaguete. And super thankful for responding right away for our concern. Super appreciated.
I love the location, very close from/to the ferry terminal (from dumaguete) and also close to the activities like whale shark swimming and the tumalog waterfalls. I love that it's facing the sea. It's so peaceful and relaxing. Very quiet and safe. The staff are all friendly and are always happy to help you with anything.
Hmmm I actually like almost everything..maybe they just need to add more food options?? And the food is good I'd say, it just needs to improve more with the taste but nonetheless ok.
Cozy and relaxing
None
The room, the view, the pool, and the food were all fantastic. The afternoon/evening bartender/attendant was extremely nice and very helpful. The grounds were very clean and well kept. I will definitely stay here again. The Edwn Resort made the 5 hour bus ride worth the trip.
The hot tub wasn't functioning. Everything else was exceptional.
The resort was very nice. Great place to stay, great view of the ocean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is a little bit in the middle of nowhere, but a great getaway. Wish the hot tub had been warm. No reason to have it without warm/hot water. The pool was very nice and the lights were very beautiful. Food was acceptable at dinner, nothing to brag about. But breakfast was delicious.
Food at dinner was just average. Hot tub had cold water.
We had the most amazing 2 days stay at this resort! It was beautiful. The rooms are big with terrace facing the ocean with an incredible view to relax. The foods were super delicious! The staff are very accommodating and friendly. We would be back for sure on our next vacation and would highly recommend it to everyone! You must go there!
Great ocean view from the room. Terrace is West facing, making for great sunsets. Waves breaking about 10 meters from and beneath the terrace. Room wall stone decor is architecturally pleasing. Great Pool. Excellent breakfast and dinners from the house restaurant. Friendly staff. Had rented motorbike delivered to the hotel. Resort is quiet. Bedding is excellent, though the double/queen bed is just two twins bolted together with a mattress gap.
From the photos I did not expect a sand beach and indeed there is none. The beach is entirely solid limestone rock almost like concrete. The resort is rather remote, so you will need to rent a scooter to really get anywhere outside of the resort and village (about 1 kilometer). There is little or no information at the office about local tours or activities. You must research and arrange on your own. Information on diving is limited to a phone number for a guy who lives in Dumaguete. Snorkeling equipment is not readily available at the resort or in the village; you must bring it or go to Oslob to get it. Wifi at the resort is acceptable for single searches, but does not does not support streaming. Local beach is not much of a beach, don't bother.
