Stayed here for 4 nights in November while travelling around SE Asia with my boyfriend.
The hotel is fabulous and the grounds are tropically designed with an integrated infinity pool (that could do with a few more loungers). The hallways to the rooms are all open so you get a lovely breeze. The rooms are newly refurbished, spacious and very comfortable and have a balcony. The beds are quite hard and a pretty uncomfortable though! Fresh toiletries in the bathroom, hairdryer, safe, tv (with limited channels), dressing table, large wardrobe.
The staff are awful. In particular the reception staff who I found to be so lazy, disinterested and slow. The only staff that were good were the bell boys who helped us carry our bags. Check in was very long, we didn't receive our wake up call (no apology), check out was even longer despite having prepaid and anytime we had asked for anything we either didn't get it or had to wait for ages. Be very careful not to damage anything as you can be sure you will be charged! This includes the bed sheets - if they are overly dirty or if you have gotten a Henna tattoo you will be charged. I dropped a glass into a sink and was made pay 100PHP on checkout even though we were inches from missing our flight because of reception.
The hotel is about a 5-10min walk from Boat Station 3 along a quiet street, there usually trikes around if you get tired. Its very safe to walk at night as the Police station is along that street, just don't walk alone.
While I really liked the hotel grounds, the staff really dampened the stay and I will not be returning as a result. I would recommend any of the other hotels and they are all beautiful hotels and the service will set them apart, and I don't think this hotel was particularly good value.
Few tips for Boracay - have cash for the numerous and expensive "Terminal Fees" and the trikes when you get off the ferry as the taxi's are about 300PHP. Dont get stung by the trikes keeping in mind the guide price for them is 10PHP per boat station travelled on the island. And remember to bargain, you can get the same thing half as cheap always!
Boracay is amazing, so have a blast!
Happy Travels :)
Room Tip: Pool view room or a room away from Boracay main road as its very noisy.
