Cleanliness
9
One reviewer reported mold/mildew on walls, high humidity and aging/yellowed bathtub indicating maintenance and cleanliness issues; overall cleanliness concern noted but not widespread in both reviews.
Service
10
Consistently praised: staff described as very attentive, aux petits soins / very friendly and professional; service and staff responsiveness are strong positives.
Location
10
Location is peaceful and well suited to balance Boracay's bustle; noted as a bit far from the center but still easily reachable on foot or by taxi.
Room Quality
9.2
Reports of old furniture, musty smell, visible gap under the door and broken/very aged bathtub suggest room-condition problems; issues exist but are balanced by other positive aspects of the property.
Amenities
10
Spa and massages are highlighted as very pleasant and of good quality; courtyard is exotic and plant-filled — amenities are a clear strength.
Value for Money
9.5
Mixed signals: one guest felt the property did not merit 4 stars and noted expensive services (massage) and lack of recent investment, yet high-quality spa and service support a stronger perceived value overall.
Food and Beverage
9.1
One reviewer described restaurant food as very poor and not very varied; limited negative feedback but insufficient breadth of comments to lower the category heavily.
Overall Experience
10
Mixed reviews (one 'Excellente séjour', one strongly critical), but outstanding service, pleasant spa and tranquil grounds lead to a highly positive overall impression for many guests.

NU merită să veniți aici dacă aveți pretenții măcar de 4 stele . Are un 3 stele asa cu indulgenta !
Pros:

Curtea interioară este exotică și plină de plante ! Personalul foarte amabil și profesional. Masajul scump raportat la prețurile din Filipine dar de bună calitate !

Cons:

Egrasie și mucegai pe pereți în cameră , mobilierul miroase a vechi, pe sub ușa de la intrare în cameră se vede afară . Umiditate foarte mare în cameră și aerul condiționat nu face față ! Apă caldă nu avea presiune . Bateria de la cadă era stricată și cada foarte veche îngălbenită cred ca avea vreo 20 de ani . Nu au investit nimic în această locație de cel puțin 10-15 ani . Mâncarea de la restaurant foarte priască și puțin diversificată !

Pros:

Единственное что мне тут понравилось это персонал. Они отзывчивые и вежливые. На этом все.

Cons:

Прочитав отзывы , мы выбрали эту виллу. Выбрали еще и ту , что дороже: с двумя спальнями и кухней. Во-первых, я не понимаю восторженных отзывов. Они конечно , в основном по обычным виллам. Про них я скажу отдельно. Но у нас был дом с двумя спальнями. Если бы отель стоил раза в три дешевле, я могла бы понять. Во-вторых это просто халупа. Других слов у меня нет. Внешне это действительно соломенный дом. Полы-фанера, плитка на кухне и ванной. В спальнях полы покрашенные доски. Отдельный отзыв по кухне : раковина вся в плесени , вид из окна на кухне с одной стороны на землю с трубами , которые идут к вам на кухню, с другой стороны это дом , где на расстоянии двух метров от вашего живет персонал , которые не особо тихие. Газовая плита с одной конфоркой не работает. Мы поехали и купили себе электрическую с двумя. В холодильнике не работает морозильник, у него просто оторвана дверца. Вообщем никакого мороженного в халупе мой ребенок не получил. Теперь про ванну, вода теплая (не горячая, а теплая) есть , но вода пахнет очень неприятно. Наверное запах от труб. Туалет : если один раз смыл, то дальше нужно ждать около 7 минут , чтобы еще раз воспользоваться смывом. Две спальни: кровать хорошая , на этом все. Кондиционер это две старых коробки очень шумят , когда ты спишь это особенно ощущается. Мебель покрашенная старая , воняет. Вид из окна на пару пальм и крыши чужих домов. Я плакала два дня, мне было жалко потратить так много денег на эту халупу и не получать удовольствия от острова. Через два дня попросила сводить нас в обычные виллы , которые стоят дешевле нашей холопы. Да они лучше, на много. Там окна выходят на красивые тропики , кто-то в отзывах писал что видно даже океан. В этих виллах есть большая терраса, у нас в доме был квадрат перед входной дверью (дверь кстати не работает) и на квадрате стоял пластиковый стул. На виллах красивая ванная комната , там есть и ванна и душ с большой лейкой.

Peaceful retreat for body and soul.
Pros:

Peaceful! It’s like an Eden. The sound of Coucal birds hooting, tree frogs calling and breezes moving the trees while showering in the outdoor shower. The fantastic staff: Jon at the reception. Therapists: Lovely and Debbie and Mira. So talented! The services are worth every peso!!!

Cons:

That we had to leave!

Amazing potential but needs updating
Pros:

The spa was excellent and we would definitely recommend the treatments. T staff very friendly and helpful. There was a path to take you to the beach. The villas could be amazing with some TLC.

Cons:

The villas need updating as they were very tired. Unfortunately, it was quite noisy on the night that we stayed with barking dogs and loud music from a nearby nightclub which didn’t align with the relaxing experience we were hoping for. There was not much hot water (no where near enough for a bath, even though there was a bath in the bathroom). We were expecting more healthy options in the restaurant.

В целом всё достаточно не плохо
Pros:

Отель находится в уединении в лесу, просторный номер. 7 минут пешком до пляжа. Хороший спа. Завтраки скудноватые, но вкусные.

Cons:

Много живности, детям было страшновато ночью, как то забралась в номер ящерица, в 23.30 не смогли дозвониться на ресепшен, чтобы они помогли убрать ее. В одну ночь по крыше кто то большой ползал,(казалось , что варан) звуки были жутоковатые так как крыша покрыта пальмовыми листьями.

Pros:

Quiet and peaceful, more laidback stay. Reminds me of Boracay in its golden ages

Cons:

Hope it was more lit up, facilities are a bit run down (maybe also due to the age of the property), bit of mold on the ceiling of our restroom

10/10 Paradise on Earth: An Unforgettable Retreat! Peace, beauty, and top-notch hospitality
Pros:

We just wrapped up a magical 5-night stay at Mandala Spa in their Digital Detox Villa, and it's hands down the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in serenity—this place is a true oasis of calm and luxury that far exceeded our expectations.
The bungalow itself was stunning: impeccably clean, modern, and surprisingly spacious over 100m2. The bathroom was a standout—huge and innovative with glass window walls everywhere, blending seamlessly with the outdoors while maintaining total privacy. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living areas overlooked our own lush inner private garden, flooding the space with natural light and tropical vibes. It was like waking up in a dream every morning. The bed was enormous and incredibly comfortable.
The resort's gardens are even more breathtaking—meticulously maintained, vibrant, and peaceful, perfect for unwinding with a book or just soaking in the tranquility. It's like a well-kept secret haven away from Boracay's busier spots, enhanced by its private road tucked away from the main streets. You don't hear any noise at all—no traffic, no crowds—which is NOT typical for most stays in the Philippines, where hustle and bustle often seep in.
The staff made our stay truly special—they're warm-hearted, polite, and genuinely friendly. Their attentiveness felt authentic and heartfelt, adding that extra touch of magic.
Breakfast was à la carte, with healthy, delicious options tailored per person—fresh fruits, smoothies, that were both nourishing and flavorful. The service there was charming, with smiles that brightened our mornings. We also indulged in massages, and the therapists were exceptional: skilled professionals with seamless, flowing movements that left us deeply relaxed and somehow "connected"—it's hard to describe.
For the price, this place is an absolute steal—it should cost at least double!

Cons:

Honestly, there wasn't much to dislike—it's hard to find faults in such a perfect spot. If we had to nitpick, the only small point was that the bungalow's massive bed felt almost too big for just two, but that's hardly a complaint! Everything else was flawless.
