Very satisfying and memorable 💕
Pros:

This is our 3rd time to book at this hotel and they always deliver excellent service and a pleasurable experience. They even had a little surprise for us. We always book this hotel everytime we go to boracay. Rooms are very clean, staff are always nice, friendly and helpful. Also, they have great food here (especially the breakfast at don vito). We are looking forward to our next boracay experience with this hotel. We are coming back again this june 2026. See you in a few months 💕.

We always go back
Pros:

This is our 4th year checking in at Mandarin Island and we are always highly satisfied- excellent service, clean rooms, respectful and cheerful staff, good breakfast buffet, good location. Would like to also appreciate Israel, one of the managers for always taking care of us alongside the front of house staff, security, housekeeping staff, restaurant staff and our drivers. Highly recommend this hotel, they will provide you a home away from home.

Exceptional Experience
Pros:

We had a great time during our vacation in Boracay. The hotel was a big factor, as it was beachfront and the staff were very accommodating. Everything we needed was also inside the room. The view is also amazing since we got upgraded to premier room. The buffet breakfast was also delicious. We also booked their airport transfer, and it was very seamless everything was already handled.

Really disappointed with the hotel's handling of unforeseen cancellation.
Pros:

I have stayed at Mandarin Island Hotel Boracay before and had a positive experience, which is precisely why I chose to return for a very special trip with my mother, who was celebrating her birthday. Unfortunately, my most recent experience with the hotel’s management has left me extremely disappointed.
Shortly before our planned arrival, the Philippines began issuing multiple weather advisories regarding an incoming tropical storm and tropical depression. Authorities issued rainfall alerts and warnings about potential flooding and travel disruption. At the same time, airlines warned passengers about possible flight disruptions and recommended postponing travel where possible. There was also significant uncertainty regarding whether boat transfers between Caticlan and Boracay would continue operating.
Given the circumstances, and because I was travelling with my 69-year-old mother, I made the responsible decision not to proceed with the journey to Boracay. The risk of becoming stranded on the island just before our international flight home was simply too great.
Despite these exceptional circumstances — which were clearly outside the control of any traveller — the hotel showed absolutely no flexibility, empathy, or willingness to consider the situation. My booking was non-refundable, and the hotel strictly enforced that policy without any attempt to offer a compromise, partial refund, credit for a future stay, or even a gesture of goodwill.
What makes this particularly disappointing is that I was a returning guest who had previously chosen this hotel and was genuinely looking forward to coming back. Instead of recognising that loyalty, the response from the reservations team felt procedural and indifferent, with no acknowledgement of the real safety concerns involved.
In the end, it was Trip.com, not the hotel, that offered a goodwill compensation after reviewing the circumstances. The hotel itself chose to take no responsibility whatsoever.
Policies are policies, and I understand that businesses must have them. However, hospitality is also about understanding, judgement, and treating guests fairly when genuinely exceptional situations arise. Unfortunately, none of that was demonstrated here.
For that reason, I cannot say that this hotel values its returning guests or is willing to show flexibility when circumstances outside a traveller’s control make a trip impossible.
Regrettably, I will not be returning.

Boracay island vibes, Hotel comfort!
Pros:

We truly loved our stay! From the smooth and hassle-free airport transfer to the warm welcome (esp the cute bracelet I still wear to work), nakakakilig! 🤣 Ambait ng staff lahat, very accommodating!

The beachfront view was absolutely the Boracay vibe na hinahanap namin ni hubby. Even though it is right in the heart of the long white sand stretch- with all the activities and crowd- we were surprised at how peaceful and comfortable our room was. We slept so well! The setup felt cozy and homey, like a "home away from home" vibe.

And.. I already miss the pancake from breakfast! 😁 And.. sarap daw ng tapa!

At night, chill moments- enjoying the live band while taking a relaxing dip in the pool.

We missed the spa- next time!

Daghan jud kaayong salamat for the wonderful experience! Especially fro the free mug set during the PTAA event. Naka-tipid na ng konti, madami pang natanggap na freebies!

We definitely felt valued and well taken care of. See you puhon! 🥰

Excellent Service All the Way
Pros:

We always enjoy staying at Mandarin Island Hotel in Boracay. They do everything for you. From the airport pick up to getting to the hotel, such flawless transfer. You can feel the hospitality the moment you walk in. Their staff is amazing and wonderful. The rooms are also nice and comfortable. We stayed next to the pool since my daughter loves to swim. The pool is very nice.
