Loved most

  • Excellent, helpful staff
  • Outstanding breakfast buffet
  • Large/impressive swimming pool
  • Beachfront/central location
  • Comfortable and spacious rooms
  • Pool access from some rooms

Worth knowing — Isolated cleanliness issues (cockroach, dirty pool, bad smell) · Occasional maintenance/problems (water not hot, water pooling in bathroom, safe lockout) · Limited breakfast variety/some cold items · Some guests found it a bit pricey · Public beach can be overcrowded

How guests scored the stay

  • Service9.6

    Consistently excellent: numerous reviews praise staff as kind, helpful, professional and welcoming (concierge, buffet, front desk), justifying a strong positive adjustment to offset other weaker categories.

  • Overall Experience9.3

    Strongly positive: many guests described memorable, excellent stays (10/10, would return), with the standout being staff, breakfast and pool; occasional service/maintenance issues noted by a minority do not dominate overall sentiment.

  • Food and Beverage9.1

    Very positive overall: the breakfast buffet is repeatedly described as incredible/the best, though some guests wanted more variety, plant-based options, experienced cold items or limited choices at times.

  • Location9.0

    Very positive: frequently noted as beachfront/central in Boracay with easy access to the beach and good surroundings; one comment about the public beach being crowded reduces this slightly.

  • Amenities8.9

    Strong amenities: large pool (many mentions of pool access from rooms and excellent pool), evenings music and pleasant facilities; isolated notes about dirty pool and limited pool bench space temper the score slightly.

  • Room Quality8.6

    Generally comfortable and spacious rooms cited by multiple guests, though some noted issues (bad smell, occasional water temperature problems, TV with only one channel, safe lockout incident).

  • Value for Money8.3

    Mixed: several guests felt it was excellent value and the best value for their trip, while a few mentioned it was a bit pricey; overall slightly above average but not outstanding.

  • Cleanliness7.6

    Mixed signals: many guests reported the hotel was cleaned and well maintained, but isolated issues were reported (found a cockroach, a guest said the pool was dirty, bad smell in rooms, and water pooling in bathroom), so cleanliness is slightly below the overall target.

    “Room we stayed in was bigger than similar rooms in comparable hotels. Staff is phenomenal, friendly and helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend the breakfast buffet, as it offers diverse options of food, with the main focus on Philippino and Chinese foods, with options for more typical continental breakfast.”

  • Enjoy and very relaxing
