Amazing place, friendly staff and nice location.

Crews and Receptionists are so very beyond kindly friendly willing to help us for everything Thank you so much ,Edgewater! could have had a wonderful moment!

為了潛水預訂的酒店，環境還算可以，歐美人偏多，室外massage場地很贊！以後還會繼續考慮！

I cannot recommend Edgewater enough. It truly is a gem and a fantastic place to stay for those who like to scuba dive, or those who are interested in learning. My husband and I stayed at edgewater last year, and had such a great experience that we returned this year, and it was even better the second time. We just completed our advanced open water course with Paul, who is a fantastic instructor. He customized the course to focus on the skills we wanted to work on, and gave us the confidence to try more challenging dives. The dive masters were all great, prioritizing safety and still making sure to point out all kinds of marine life that I otherwise would have missed. We have to give a special shout out to the dive master Larry, who was truly phenomenal. We had a few dives where it was just my husband, Larry, and I, and he took us on more challenging and truly unique dives. The hotel owners Vika and Richard really care about making sure all of the guests have a good experience, and it was nice to see many of the same staff again from our first trip. I would also like to give a shout out to Jeff, who was truly exceptional in the quality of service at the bar / restaurant. I strongly recommend booking a day trip to Verde Island, where the quality of the dive sites is even better than the local sites. Its best if you can split the boat costs with a few others at the hotel, which the hotel staff can arrange. We will definitely try to come back again!

Edgewater has exactly the right mix of laid-back vibes and luxury. There is nothing pretentious about it, yet it has every comfort and amenity. We chose their premier sea suite for a ten day diving trip, and that room was wonderful: spacious, open, full of light, with a huge bathroom, spotlessly clean. We also chose the half board plan, which afforded us very generous meals in their open-air restaurant for breakfast and lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. Originally we had thought we’d go into Sebang or Puerto Galera for dinners, but we never ended up doing this. It’s not really walkable from the resort (no sidewalks and a narrow road). Although tuktuks are cheap and readily available, we enjoyed the food where we were, and wanted to just relax after diving all day. So we’d generally just ask the talented chef Roman what he was excited about cooking that night, and we’d go with that. The staff at this resort went out of their way to make us happy. They are kind, attentive, eager to please, and clearly happy to be there. We were also impressed with the dive staff, led by Marlon, who took great care of us. Groups were never larger than four divers per divemaster, and they sorted us by experience level so advanced divers weren’t constrained by the limitations of new divers. The diving was great, despite some wet and windy weather that narrowed choices for dives site in some days. We took advantage of the massages offered, which were in a sheltered but open air setting and were an incredible value by our standards. I think a 90 minutes massage was about $27 U.S. per person, and they were very good. We’d go back to Edgewater in a heartbeat - it is a very special place.

As an author and energy-sensitive traveler, I seek spaces that hold both beauty and presence. Edgewater had moments of magic – and gaps to close: Loved: – Warm welcome with fruit & drink – Quiet mangrove bay, breakfast by the water – Friendly team (thank you, Mark!) – Extra writing desk arranged when they learned I’m an author – Feather blanket & soft towels for cozy nights – Cats everywhere (always a plus ) – The sunset view on my last evening – unforgettable Could improve: – Strong musty smell in both rooms (even after change) – Construction site next to the pool – breaks the vibe – Spa is “on request” only & at double the local price (not a real spa experience) – Housekeeping only on request and very basic – No full-body mirror in the room – Restaurant pricing too high for what’s offered Final note: Edgewater has heart and potential – but true luxury lives in details beyond the Instagram frame. In my conscious rating, this stay would land at around 8.3 /10 – because presence matters.
