Hotel dengan Khidmat Ambil/Hantar di Romblon

We decided to try this place since it’s just an hour away from Boracay. We stayed here for only 2 nights to spend my bestie birthday. David, one of the owner is very kind and easy to talk to. He’s the one answering all my inquiries and giving instructions how to get there. He make sure that we get into the right port so we won’t missed our boat schedule. He even gave us a free room upgrade since we are celebrating our birthday months here. We stayed in their muni muni cliff villa. We love the ocean view and the spacious room for 3 of us. There are some minor problem we encountered like our backdoors in villa cannot be locked which I hope they get fixed. The bathroom is huge but it’s just hard to have your own privacy in a clear glass door with no cover. But it might work for those honeymooners. We really appreciate all efforts they did just to make my bestie birthday celebration a good one. The complimentary cake from the resort is really a Homemade with love. It’s so good and very thoughtful. The staff are so kind and respectful although some seems to be very shy to interact with the guests. Shout out to Ciara and Evian. They’re very attentive. We look forward to come back in this quite place. We hope someday it will be fully operational. They will have more choices to offer like some activity that you can do inside the resort, more food choices . I hope they will have their own F&B manager or someone that will run the operations very well. Who knows how to handle the whole resort business and also we hope they will also put more guards on duty during night time especially down at the cliff villas beach front. There should be atleast big spotlights there and some kind of alarm that you can just press if something went wrong it will make your guest feel more secured too during nighttime while sleeping. I understand the impact of pandemic brought to us and keeping up the maintenance of this huge luxury resort is such a big burden of the owners. I feel bad to see that the beauty of this resort is starting to disappear if they will not make any actions to save it. But overall we love the ambiance, the people, the peaceful quite vacation we had at Ocean Edge Resort. Btw they have a dive shop inside the resort. I just didn’t had a chance to talk to the dive manger and make inquiries. But maybe next time I will do some diving here on my next visit. Again Thank you.

22 dives in 8 days May 21-28. Top level macro diving. Guides are not just amazing spotters, but also competent assistants - they save a lot of time for a macro photographer. I just showed them my wish list and then everything worked as if on a conveyor belt ... There was a feeling of complete relaxation until the last day. Flexible planning. Night diving. Cook David is simply God! It's nice to chat with him about different things ... Special thanks to Kati - she is a walking Wikipedia of underwater inhabitants. Accommodation in houses by the water with a view of the mangroves. Air con, hot shower, daily clean, large corner work table for serving two cams. Every evening I watched the sunset lying in bed with a pleasant fatigue from three dives of 90 minutes (dive time is not limited!). A few words how to get there: Manila airport - Batangas port: private minivan ($77, order via Kati) 2.5 h, Batangas - Romblon: ferry ($30 online booking), then 12 min tricycle for $4 - there are plenty of them in the port. Changed clothes, ate and immediately on the boat - dive! Guides find macro wildlife so quickly that you don't have to look for yourself or wait. In the end, I recommend making a 2-hour trip around the island on a tricycle and stopping by to see how marble is mined and processed - after all, Romblon is the marble capital of the Philippines.... BTW ... already 6 guests went there on my advice - hurry up, because before covid there was always a full book)).... I will go again in November - join me! PS I will upload my underwater photos as they are processed here @uw.art
