Eden Resort

Overall a really nice stay. Hotel: staff were very friendly, the room with the balcony had a nice view of the sunset and the food was mostly good. The pool was small but clean with a small area to sunbathe that overlooked the same view of the sea and sunset. Area: the ‘private beach’ isn’t really a beach that you can sunbathe on. There is a small beach with a bit of sand around the corner for a small entrance fee. The hotel does have access though to a half decent snorkelling area. The shelf is about 100m out and there can be a current, but we saw a decent amount of fish and a few turtles. Other than this, there isn’t anything else in the area and it seems that most people that stay there are doing so with a view to go to the whale shark watching in oslob. Whale Sharks: go early. It takes about 30 minutes from the hotel. We left at 5:30am and arrived at 6:00am. They start sending boats out 6:00am but people are there waiting earlier. Others that arrived at 5:30am went out at 6:00am. We, however, had to wait for about 2.5 hours.... so ask the hotel if you can leave earlier than 5:30am. The hotel is good for just spending a few days snorkelling and seeing the whale sharks.

The rooms at Eden Resort all face the ocean which is lovely - sitting on the balcony listening to the waves coming in is so peaceful and relaxing! The rooms are simply but tastefully decorated, and very clean. The staff were all lovely, from the moment I was checked in until the moment I left - the staff in the restaurant/bar were always smiling and friendly, the staff at the dive shop (Rafael and Ronald) were brilliant, and Ronald even took me and a couple of other guests around Dumaguette one afternoon which was great! Transport was always arranged promptly, and when I asked if I could have my breakfast late after swimming with the whale sharks that was not an issue. The only thing I would say is that the food could be improved. It was pretty simple, which is ok, but the meat was quite often overcooked and a bit dry. For such a lovely place in a gorgeous setting with great staff, the food let it down a little bit for me. It "filled a hole" but could have been so much better. Overall though, a wonderful place to stay, and I would not hesitate to go back again!

Room look amsing abd have nice loiation, and price is ok, and food is good, only one part I thrink should be better and that is cleaning in kitchen and resuant. Feel this hotel realy can be awersome.

Very good

We picked Eden resort as we wanted to do whale shark snorkelling and Kawasan falls. The resort helped us with getting a scooter which we picked up from the resort itself so we were able to do what we wanted on our own, Location was great for that. Staff were friendly and helpful, our room was clean, and we had a beautiful view from our balcony. The food was ok, I am vegan and they were able to accommodate alternative options for breakfast.
