I had reservations in booking this promo package for my kids for their vacation in Boracay. We usually stay in places that were highly recommended by families and friends. We figured let's try this and see how true what 's being advertised by these agencies. To our great and tremendous disappointment, this hotel was a true disaster from beginning to... More

La Carmela is all hype. stayed here with my friends last august 2011. Too bad clients/tourists are blinded by all the media hype and endorsements from celebrities. It's a little bit expensive to consider it as a budget hotel since the service, food and room amenities are blah to say the least. Their breakfast doesn't taste good and checking out... More

I didn't have high hopes when we landed in Caticlan simply because I've read a lot about this hotel through Trip Advisor. Some say it's nice and most say it's not worth any attention. True enough, when we were unloading our bags from the van that carried us from the Jetty port to the hotel premises, I said, "Okay, so... More

Because of the mere fact that LA CARMELA DE BORACAY is openly endorsed by Mr. Boy Abunda--a credible and straight forward media personality, I thought that the said hotel resort would be a top, if not, the great choice for me and my family to stay in to (we stayed in the island for 3 nights/ 4 days). To my... More

I almost backed out of my reservation... also got the trouble during the reservations-hard to contact their number...but they did call me the day of my trip to tell me that my request for room upgrading was granted after several calls! Their Executive De Luxe room was nice, with a bath tub (in case we cant swim in the pool... More

My friends and I had a wonderful summer getaway at the famous Boracay Island. We stayed at La Carmela de Boracay and had fun. The room is just okay, service is excellent but the food is not so delicious at all. The egg is somehow raw, their adobo tastes like ginger! If you are travelling in Boracay to pamper yourself,...

Maybe i really expected service and accommodation to be pleasant since Boy Abunda is the hotel's endorser. A person of credibility and candor. Perhaps only Boy Abunda gets the best of the hotel. Check-in was quick. Good thing since we were really having dizzy heads due to the long travel (8 hours) by land. Front desk personnels were not awful... More

All I can say is that my stay at this hotel was very average. Most of the staff are friendly except for the supervisor receptionist. I don’t think she smiled during our check in. I must say she can multiple task but due to it, bad customer service. You would think a room named executive wing will be in a... More

A perfect location since the Hotel is within the center of the Island (station 2) Nice breakfast, Room is okay, small pool. a very slow but free wi-fi. Some staffs were unfriendly specially at the front desk. A clever hotel in the sense that as you check-in, they will ask you a P2000.00 pesos deposit which surprised us because its... More
