We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and upon arrival we were absolutely blown away. The views from our room were stunning, and the room was very good size. The units are 2 per bungalow so very little interaction with other guests. We loved having a patio overlooking the water, and the pool was warm, huge and very refreshing, especially the blended drinks we ordered (PHP150) from the poolside bar area. The wood fires pizza was delicious, although interesting since it appears they use ketchup for pizza sauce. We also appreciated the hotel is in a very private area with no traffic. This hotel is the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of busy cebu/mactan. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and we felt very welcome. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing place understanding the following (which for the most part didn't effect our stay, we just had come from a brand new hotel in Oslob with a lower nightly rate): - the hotel was likely ahead of its time and extremely nice, however needs some maintenance throughout; - room WiFi didn't work it was slower than our roaming 4G phone service, so not good for a working traveler; - bathroom is extremely dim and not well lit for any type of getting ready or makeup. No bidet & very slow flushing toilet; - our shower had large spider webs in the corners; - our unit AC unit didn't get cold so was very very warm to sleep, almost a sleepless night;

It’s a beautiful resort with nice view. Staff are friendly and approachable. It’s clean just few minor fix to be done. If you are planning to go to Whale shark at Oslob this is best resort just 10mins drive. We had amazing time, pool with stunning view.

Eden resort was quite nice and the staff was very accommodating. The proximity to Oslob made for some fun days seeing Tumalog falls, whale shark watching, and Sumilon island snorkeling. Great ocean views from the room's balcony, pool, and dining area were truly amazing. A nearby ferry to and from Dumaguete was also very convenient. Highly recommend.

The hotel is actually nice “for the area” and the staff very kind. The only reason I can’t give a higher rating is bc there was no hot water. We found out very early when we checked in and there still wasn’t any hot water when we checked out. This is a huge issue bc it’s very hot and humid and so we must shower in the cold water.

Nice little gem in the south
We were all alone at the resort, service was good and food as well. Initially there was a misunderstanding regarding the payment (they had an email saying it wasn't paid when I had clearly already paid through Hotels which my booking and email indicated), in the end it was sorted though but just kind of odd experience.

A Beautiful Resort with friendly staff just like the garden of Eden. The room is big with full glass wall overlooking the ocean. The balcony outside is superb to relax and enjoy the view and breeze. Each of the staff member is so friendly, we received smiles and greetings from the receptionist, housekeepers, the men cleaning the pool and ground, and the dive shop owner. They know when is a good time to snorkel off their beach and provide good advise on what to do when COVID-19 restrictions were imposed (helping guest change plans to visit Aguinid Falls before it closed). A big thank you to all the staff at Eden. We will definitely be back and recommend others to stay at Eden.

The staff are courtious, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and arrived quickly. The infinity pool is lovely, well maintained and has a great view. There are lots of adventurous things to do in the area. You can’t Go wrong staying here!

Generally good place to stay while seeing w-sharks
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.

Wonderful view, lovely staff, food needs improved!
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!

Nice stay at Eden
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.

The resort is a beautiful tranquil hideaway with beautiful views. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was great with daily specials. The corals off the resort is healthy and colourful. The dive shop on site was very convenient. From the resort one can easily go to whale shark watching, Sumilon island and many waterfalls in the region.

Perfect hotel and location. If you are going to be visiting Oslob this is right next door and you can hire a tricycle driver to pick you up and drop you back off. The hotel balconies are amazing to watch the sunset and hear the waves crash on the shore.

nice hotel room with amazing sea views. The location is about 20min drive from Oslob whale shark. It is self sufficient therefore you can have your meals at the restaurant. Food is average with reasonable price and portion. The sunset view is great from the infinity pool.

Good for a day relaxing by the pool
View from the room and pool- amazing! Good size bedroom. Affordable and good restaurant on site to get a lunch/dinner. Breakfast very basic. Hotel is far from everything so its only good for a relaxing day by the pool and views. Free water. There is nothing to do in Santander, just a village. Approx 30 mins by motorbike from Oslob. Diving in the hotel highly overpriced. I arranged with Deep Dive Centre in Oslob diving with whale sharks and they pick me up for free from the hotel. Also highly recommend them.

The rooms are splendid, the pool is beautiful and the food at the restaurant is sensational. They have an extensive menu and new specials every day. It's a great place to relax. the only negative is that they really are not good at organizing trips. We went online and did things on our own. They did help us to book at scooter :)

Intimate And Private Resort!
If you're looking for a small and quiet resort, this is it. Breathtaking views on a private balcony in a private building! So spacious. Outstanding audio system and did I say spacious? On-site spa. Small staff made for a bit of a wait. Room had an insect problem. I had my laundry and sweets covered with hundreds of ants after only a few hours of checking in. Great! 7.5/10*

A touch of class with breathtaking views
It was one of the best hotel stays. A fab classy spacious bungalow type rooms very tastefully furnished. There is also a fab infinity pool and a small toddler pool. Ala carte and breakfast was brilliant in choice and quality. Ideal location for seaport and various attractions. Hotel also has a dive shop attached for activities such as diving, snorkelling, kayaking etc. There are steps leading to the coral sea area just below the bungalow for those who love shell and coral hunting. All I can say is it's haven to relax after hot days out. 5 stars in my opinion.

The best place to stay in the south of Cebu
We stayed in several "resorts" on our way down south after leaving Cebu City, and after trying out the competition, we came to the conclusion there were no decent hotels south of the City. Then, thank goodness, we found Eden Resort, and Eden is a very apt description of this place. It is a mixture of tranquility and relaxation, with a little luxury thrown in for good measure. The rooms are spacious, well designed amend comfortable, without being opulent. The balconies overlooking the sea are better described as terraces. They are enourmous, and we spent most of our spare time just relaxing on our terrace listening to the sea as it is wonderfully clean, peaceful and quiet on this part of the coast. Unlike the smoky, smelly, noisy beach a half a mile up the road at the Noblesse! The staff here are friendly and competent. Professional and obliging. The grounds are well kept, the pool is lovely and clean and fresh, and long enough for a good swim. The food is great too, and whilst not the cheapest around, for this quality of hotel it certainly is worth the money. All in all, this is a great hotel, and whether you are a diver, or a couple wanting a romantic break, I'd recommend the Eden.
