Edgewater Dive & Spa Resort

Lovely location

Breakfast selection poor

Beautiful view from restaurant for breakfast each morning 😁 Property was well maintained and staff were very friendly. Richard, the owner went out of his way to support with our return to the mainland after all the ferries were cancelled 😩 We would love to come back and explore some more and enjoy some downtime!

Location, staff

Nothing

Restaurant has delicious selection of food and has a magnificent location on a deck overlooking the bay. Staff were extremely helpful and communicated quickly and clearly with me.

Very friendly staff, lots of dive offers, not too big, laid back atmosphere

Very very good

Nothing I like it so much

Clean and comfortable with fantastic dive facilities

Some of the food was a little hit (fresh fish, fresh fruit) and miss (papaya salad, eggs Benedict)

This is a great place to stay - the staff are lovely and so helpful. The atmosphere and view are fantastic. The garden really adds to the atmosphere. Will be back if in the area

Très beau, très propre, facile d’accès via taxi, tuktuk ou tricycle. Les membres du personnel sont extrêmement sympathiques, très professionnels et trouvent une solution pour toutes les situations. On peut y faire de la plongée et notre session d’initiation s’est parfaitement déroulée grâce à notre instructeur, Marlon, très pédagogue et patient. Superbe expérience !

We had such a lovely stay here. The staff were genuinely kind and responsive the whole time, always quick to help with anything we needed and very warm to talk to. It really made the stay feel relaxed and personal. The resort itself is beautiful, tucked away in a quiet bay with amazing views over the water. We loved spending time around the pool and just taking in the scenery. The food and drinks were great too, and the cocktails definitely do the job if you are in the mood for one. It felt peaceful and welcoming, and the team made us feel really well looked after.

Nothing, everything was awesome.

The property had a great view from the pool deck on a small bay. The restaurant and the bar near the pool had a cosy and relaxing vibe and provided a very good selection of Asian and european food as well as delicious cocktails. The diving services were excelent. Most of all we appreciated Richard and his team for being so supportive and friendly and for making us feel at home. Last but not least wanted to mention Jeff and his dogs and cats, as well as Mary Ann who were lovely!

Can’t think of anything. All was perfect

Good, healthy choices for breakfast and plenty of it. Netflix included on the room TV. Comfortable bed. Easy aircon control, lights etc. good shower. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Like a lot of the Philippines night sleep interrupted by barking dogs. The site is about 2k from Sabang town so a bike or trike needed to get there.as walking is a bit hazardous and very up and down with the hills. Edgewater is not so much a solo traveller's place though okay - more a couples, families site.

I really enjoyed how the staff went out of the way to make our experience one of the best i've ever stated any resort. Even many the guests that i talked to had exactly the same impression as i did.

Can't think of anything

Super séjour de 3 nuits. Le personnel de l’hôtel est aux petits soins et fait toujours attention à ce que nous ne manquions de rien. Je recommande !

An oasis of quiet. Lovely staff, lovely food, we will return

Sehr freundliches Personal, schöne Lage an der ruhigen Mangrovenbucht. Ich habe mich gesehen und gut umsorgt gefühlt. Es wurde sogar ein Schreibtisch bereitgestellt, da ich zum Schreiben dort war. Die Katzen, die Atmosphäre und der Sonnenuntergang an meinem letzten Abend waren echte Highlights.

Starker Geruch in beiden Zimmern, vermutlich durch Feuchtigkeit. Das Spa war kein echtes Angebot, sondern externe Dienstleister zum doppelten Preis. Baustelle direkt neben dem Pool. Housekeeping nur auf Anfrage, Reinigung eher oberflächlich. Restaurantpreise überdurchschnittlich für Qualität & Setting.

Great staff! So friendly, helpful and fun!

deck with the view was stunning. it was so peaceful and relaxing

We enjoyed the tranquility and the friendly staff. Everybody was very helpful (transport, dietary requests, etc). The dive masters are amazing, very professional yet very funny. The showed us some amazing dive spots and we saw turtles, sharks and much more.

Not much to say, simply perfect: the location, the spa, the food, but mostly all the people both at the diving center and the hotel!

We stayed four nights at Edgewater. We enjoyed it a lot, it's a small hotel on a very beautiful bay. First, the rooms are nice and clean, with a very comfy bed and a nice shower. Then, you can go diving on different times of the day, for example at 9 or 10 or also in the afternoon. They are very flexible and the dive masters are very nice, christian the boat driver is the best, very funny guys. The dive sites are very close by. The best thing of the hotel is the owner and his staff. They treat you like friends. We liked everything and would recommend to anyone who wants to visit sabang. Thanks for everything

Wonderful location, really friendly and helpful staff. Love the cats !

Sensational location on the key of a bay of mangroves in Palangan - the best part of Puerto Galera. Can’t say enough good things about the quality of the service, the brilliant staff and the hugely hospitable owner.

Nothing - it was fantastic

Fantastic location for a unique wreck diving experience

No hot water and no air-conditioning but that adds to the charm for this location

Everything. And I mean EVERYTHING

None. Well…… I wish they had Jet-ski’s or Paddle boards available for rent.

Perfect Resort , very friendly, efficient staff , ready to solve every need . Great craic with Jeff the bar /restaurant manager . Food is tasty and good quality. Spacious , clean room with new quality bed linen and everything works !!!

It was time to leave !

Very nice. It is a good hotel that is small and well serviced. We bring our small dogs. The entire staff was very pleasant and accommodating to our dogs. We would like to back again. Thank you.

Clean, cozy, fun.. perfect

We had an amazing stay at Edgewater! The facilities are fantastic, and the cats are so sweet! But without a doubt, the best part of our experience was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, and it was a pleasure being a guest there. It felt like a family. The snorkeling and island hopping team were wonderful, and staff members like Mary Ann and Nicole, who were always there to support us, were so kind and helpful. We're truly grateful for how easy they made everything! The morning staff were also amazing, and we loved spending our evenings at the beach bar, chatting with Yumi and Jeff. We can't wait to go back again!

The service is superb

Really good restaurant with great foods, possibility to pay by credit card, sustainability (refillable glass bottles, almost no plastic), really nice staff, possibility to borrow kayak, they also provide some snorkelling trips and diving

If you want somewhere chill and natural, you choose Edgewater please. And the room is clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly and helpful, they are really taking care about what’s your concern.

Nope

The location and facility was impeccable, the staff offered THE best service I have ever experienced. The food and drink selection is the right mix between "easy going" and more elevated - and absolutely delicious. Overall a fantastic experience!

Everything was great. Bed was comfortable, staffs were great and extremely helpful, food was delicious! I wish I tried kayaking but it was raining.

Just the payment process. Since paying via cc has an additional charge so I paid via bank transfer.

The staff were spot on and assisted us before, during, and after our arrival. It was really easy to communicate with everyone and they met all our requests and needs. The place was quiet and serene and we definitely enjoyed our stay

Diving experience was fantastic. short boat rides away Verde Islands was an incredible experience; the coral reef was stunning, teeming with diverse marine life. service was phenomena I don't even have the vocabulary to discribe restaurant and bar with beautiful sunsets. super comfortable beds. Massages were great Richard and Viktoriya were such wonderful hosts it felt like I was visiting distant family.

Staff, location, good both for diving or just hanging around…

The staff were really exceptional, Jeff, Nikka and Yumi and the rest of the staff really took time to get to know all the guests and provided arguably the best and friendliest service I've ever experienced. The location is beautiful, the food is good with very large portions. Two very sweet cats, I was told one was blind and the other stuck by their side <3

I had a garden and sea view room, which was great with the exception that the whole bar/outside seating area could see directly in unless the blinds where closed, making an awkward decision between any privacy at all or the views. On arrival there was a group at the bar, with one especially (I believe Canadian) being especially drunk, loud and obnoxious. I attempted to take a nap but could still hear him shouting from my room. It didn't seem like they treated the staff particularly well and very much ruined the serenity of what was supposed to be a quiet and relaxing few nights away for my birthday. I honestly wanted to leave after 30 minutes of arriving due to this, although fortunately this didn't reoccur during my stay. A very unfortunate welcome to an otherwise lovely stay.

Edgewater's location was perfect for me, i loved that it was easy to go into town (under 5 minutes, about £2) yet it was private, quiet and peaceful. The staff clearly love working here. From the moment I booked their were available on WhatsApp to help me plan my trip and when I arrived I already felt like I knew them! They anticipated everything I wanted before I even knew I wanted it, everything's on a first name basis, and I consider them all friends after my 5 days here. Food is very good, and there's enough choice here that you don't have to eat anywhere else if you so choose. The diving course was great, and the community of divers staying here were super encouraging and helpful. The coral and marine life around here is beautiful. Bedrooms are clean, comfortable, spacious, well air-conditioned and if I'm not mistaken they all have balconies. I've loved my trip and it's reminded me exactly why it's always better to stay in a boutique hotel than a big chain 👌 the owners should be proud of what they've made here

If we're splitting hairs I guess the shower pressure wasn't perfect, but it genuinely didn't bother me at all.

The service was impeccable. The resort staff were all very friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was lovely and the view from the terrace/restaurant/bar was beautiful. Once there, we found out that they rescue and provide care for stray cats and dogs, which is amazing. Petting the animals was also a much appreciated perk. The room was not only pretty, but the most quiet and comfiest we had in the Philippines. I now wish we had stayed there longer.

Very friendly and attentive staff, great location, great food, great diving

A little further from Sabang/ Puerto Galera (not much walkable) but it’s an easy tuk tuk ride away (100 pesos or so).

Food was excellent

There is no sign delineating the property as a resort

Very friendly and accommodating staff, beautiful and quiet location, comfortable beds and easy to arrange activities.

More gluten free breakfast options would have been lovely.

No sign at least he place. Looks like a big house

The food and rooms are impeccable, to the extent that we never left the resort for our entire stay. The resort definitely stands out in Puerto Galera!

The payment via bank transfer, of which I was unaware before I booked. But they have a European bank account, so it wasn't really a problem. At the resort we could pay with a credit card though.

The staff are exceptional. Extremely efficient with the communication and very helpful

Great staff

Great view while having breakfast in restaurant, Diving staff very good and helpful.

Quite Expensive for what it is, if you've cash to throw away by all means stay there. Food expensive for what it is, and takes at least an hour maybe longer before you receive it (even with a few people in the restaurant) Didn't like the divider wall in pool not convenient at all, badly designed.

The service provided by the staff was excellent from the beginning to the end. Clear, fast-responsive no matter the time even after midnight for any kind of questions, very welcoming, and good vibe.

Edgewater is run by Richard and his wonderful wife Viktorija. Both are super approachable, kind and nice people. You can see they want this place to make you feel homey, cozy and relaxing by constantly improving their premises and thinking out of the box. The level of service is impeccable and absolutely no standard in the Philippines. I was treated like a prince. Not only the staff is very nice. They also are there for you 24/7. Whenever I needed something (taxi, ferry, food, drinks etc…) I texted them on WhatsApp and won’t even have to wait a minute for their response and direct actions. Goes without saying - I’ll be back 100%!

Amazing staff, great location, quiet, the pool, the scuba diving services

Privacy film for the windows in the room we had would have been welcome, but it wasn't a big issue as we had the curtains.

everything is awesome

This resort is an oasis far superior to other lodgings I saw in the area. I was able to stay on the ground floor, which was necessary for me due to a back injury. Richard and his staff were very responsive and welcoming.

I have no complaints about my stay.

The location, the view and the restaurant is great. The rooms are clean and the AC is good. Breakfast is tasty. But the most important thing is that despite the bad weather we had, they helped us a lot, without the great staff, we would have stuck on the island because it wasn’t easy to find out which ferries were cancelled and which ones are not. They were informing us about all the details, and when the weather became better, they arranged us activities. Richard, the owner is awesome, he put a great team together. You feel like you are their most important guest, even when they are fully booked. This is not just a hotel, this is a resort when they are really there for you. Thank you everyone!! Hope to see you again :)

Perfect location slightly away from the busy area of Sabang, calming and relaxing The staff and the owner and his family were welcoming, helpful and a gave a real personal experience that some resorts could learn a lot from Paul the dive instructor was exceptional, and made a novice diver feel relaxed and confident, Great place to stay

Nothing really, for me it was spot on You need to be aware that it hasn’t got a beach nearby, and it is a quieter resort, but it’s set in a beautiful mangrove bay which for me was better

Breakfast was good, the view was fabulous, staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The pool was small but so lovely to relax and lounge around in. The dive center on-site was super. The DM was lovely and patient, took me to a couple of really awesome sites for dives not too far away from the property.

We had the last room that was available and the bathroom was tiny, and also kept flooding all over. The shower-curtain was pretty but did nothing to really stop water flowing between the shower and the rest of the sink and WC area. It doesn't have a window either, so we had wet and squishy floor mats all thru the stay unfortunately.

Very friendly. Food was great. Very quiet

quiet and beautiful

a little noizy from the surrounding

Simply excellent personal dive and spa resort. The majority of the staff call you by name!

The atmosphere of the place, the cleanliness of the rooms, the food was great 👍

No complimentary coffee and tea in the room.

Beautiful nice resort with good swimming pool area and bar. Room was big and cozy, ac was good, bed was big and bathtoom was good. There is fridge and coffee making facility in the room. There is patio where you can sit and relax and admire the beautiful garden. Location is by the beach which means that the views are excellent. It is easy to reach both main village and Sabang either by the jeepney or motorbike taxi..around 5-8 minutes to both of them. It is located in the end of side street which means that there is no road noise. Breakfast was excellent and healthy.

- there was background music in the bar (pool) - I would rather have listened to birds, waves and wind.

Best food, best staff. Best bed, toilet somehow is agreeing with me lol

Banana split was the only terrible thing. Reported it to them to improve it.

I loved every part of my stay. the staff and diving were amazing. The owner was extremely helpful and kind. I will be returning!

Not being able to stay longer. this place was great!

Staff good, facilities were good, felt intimate

Nothing

Great views. Excellent food. Superb dive team

great breakfast and very supportive staff.

very nice staff and location

Staff and ambience a bit far from town

It is very quiet and peaceful resort compared to the other resorts located at the island.

None

All staffs and the owner were very accommodating and friendly. Especial mention to Janette, who always make sure we feel welcome💕

Only some areas were there are too many cats loitering in front of the room but they moved us to very good area.

Excellent staff, always happy and helpful

All good

Very nice, helpful and accommodating staff, a real pleasure to meet them. The food was good, the room was large, and the atmosphere very pleasant.

Very fresh air, very quiet. extremely friendly and attentive staff. a great place to enjoy your vacation. Thank you to the staff of the resort, thank you for your friendliness 😌

No idea

The property was just okay but it was comfortable and sufficient. The area is very private. The staff were very kind and helpful. The food was excellent, 5 star for every dish. Myself and 3 children really enjoyed staying there for 5 nights.
