Good facilities and pleasant atmosphere

Public beach can be overcrowded

Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
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.
Service
9.6
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.
Location
9
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.
Room Quality
8.6
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).
Amenities
8.9
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.
Value for Money
8.3
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.
Food and Beverage
9.1
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.
Overall Experience
9.3
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.

Pros:

Room

Cons:

The resort has a identity crisis . Supposed to be a upmarket hotel but behaves like a holiday camp . There is loud music from 8am to 10 on every day . No peaceful moment by the pool ! Sad
Food from the restaurants was good but not outstanding . The pool bar food was just awful !!!

Increible.
Pros:

Experiencia excepcional. El trato recibido desde el minuto 1 ha sido fantastico. Te intentan entender siempre, son muy atentos y te ayudan con todo lo que necesites. Es cierto que el buffet de comida y cena no es muy variado, pero esta tan bien ubicado a pie de playa que tienes a tu disposicion cualquier restaurante. El personal es encantador y siempre estan pendientes (control de acceso, lobby, recepcion, pool bar, staff, room maids) y son super agradecidos. El restaurante Mamma Mia totalmente recomendable y el Pool bar tambien. El hotel esta siempre limpio y las habitaciones las hacen todos los fias cambiandote siempre las toallas y reponiendo los amenities. Un 5 estrellas con todas las palabras.

Cons:

Nada.

Pros:

ストリートサイドとビーチサイドどちらにも隣接していてとてもアクセスが良かった。PM5:00のスタッフによるダンスパフォーマンスもとても良かった。ビーチサイドにも関わらず、ホテル内は常にスタッフが清掃していて綺麗だったことに感心した。

Cons:

ホテルでの朝食ビュッフェは豊富なメニューで喜んだが全体的に塩辛くてとても食べれなかった。味の好みはそれぞれだが、これでも私は普段から濃い味付けが好みであるが、それでも厳しいと感じた。もう少し味の加減を調整して欲しい。

Pros:

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.

Cons:

The hotel is undoubtedly great, but the pool bar leaves much to be desired, as it is consistently undersupplied with different fruits, such as mangoes or coconuts, so the answer is often: we cant make that, we don't have it on hand.
Some signs of wear and tear are becoming visible on the pool tiles (main pool) and some maintenance may be necessary soon.
Regular restaurant prices are on a European level or often exceeding them. Paying 500 pesos (~7.3 €) for 500 ml bottle of sparkling water in Mama Mia restaurant certainly takes the cake, esspecially as it was offered by the staff without giving us the drinks card. This does make the guests feel like they felt for a tourist trap, and it would be good if such practices are toned down substantially.
Refilling of toiletrees is often inconsistent - one day we may get a new shaving kit or soap, and the next day one of these might not be supplied.
