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.

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%!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everything! The staff was so nice, accommodating and helpful (even before we arrived they contacted us and help us prepare all the covid related documents we needed). Our room was big and comfortable. The food was amazing (probably the best we had in the Philippines) - we had dietary restrictions (gluten free) and they adjusted the meals for us. Richard, the owner, made any effort to make us feel good and have a good time (he is a great person to seat and talk with). The hotel's dive center is located inside the hotel, Jun the instructor was very good, the equipment was well maintained and the dive trips are made using their speed boat so they are very efficient and comfortable.

Nothing

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.
