Boat Station 2 Boracay Island|0.54km from Aqualife Divers Academy
This hotel just opened on October and I must say, it did not disappoint. I would have rated 5 all in all but there are minor improvements. My overall stay was impeccable and I felt like a VIP. Thank you to all the staffs, Zephora who processed by checkout and late checkout request, the gentleman (I didn't get his name) who assisted me doing check in. The guards, the kuya who helped me with my luggage, and the lady who assisted me to my room you all deserve a 10/10 for customer service. Their VP Ms. Kaye even left a handwritten message welcoming me to the hotel which was personalized. The way that my was prepared was immaculate - very clean, spacious and the first hotel who offers Apple TV and iOS/Mac casting 👏🏻. Everything is brand new. It's worth the money. Their breakfast was okay, but there could have been more selections. Their pool is 😍. I will definitely be back at this hotel. I hope that the staff will stay the same, humble, all smiles, and accommodating. Recommendation: Create a member loyalty platform - I am sure your hotel will be famous as more travelers discovers what you offer. + Very prime location, 2-5 minutes walk to the white beach + Their staffs are superb in customer service + Worth every penny + Very spacious room, has a bath tub and veranda + Breakfast selection can be improved but I loved their main dishes + Free cute tote bag + Complimentary drinks were served right away + Wet cold face towels were immediately given - Construction is kinda loud, but the room has a bit of sound proofing which helps. - Minor: There's not flat iron or maybe, they can provide upon request. Thank you to all of the staffs, you guys made my stay memorable, special, and I felt at home.

Aqua Boracay

Boat Station 2 Boracay Island|0.88km from Aqualife Divers Academy
Contemporary, clean, and very nice 5-star hotel in Boracay. Located in the eastern part of the island, it’s about less than a 5 minute ride from the hotel pick up/drop off point of D’mall (station 2). It has a huge pool at the center of the property and a smaller pool that’s near their private and relaxing beach (sand is not as fine compared to the western part of the island). The landscaping of the property is very well maintained. The ambiance and design of their restaurants (Qtchen for the included buffet breakfast and Seafood for dinner) are also contemporary and tastefully done. The hotel is composed of several buildings and they are named after the different bodies of water. We stayed at the Indian (ocean) building and we booked in their premier one bedroom suite which was very roomy and nice. It had its own kitchen, dining, and spacious living room, the bedroom had a queen size bed. The bathroom is also big with a bath tub. Our room also had a wrap around balcony overlooking the main pool and and garden. Very nice. We used the main pool during the day and night and both times the water was warm but the pool isn’t heated. The huge pool was divided into different depths/areas wherein the depth ranged from 1-4 feet. The three feet area had the jacuzzi type function. Very relaxing. The breakfast buffet offers a good selection of dishes and the majority changes everyday. They had a noodle and egg station. Most of the local and international dishes would taste as expected. Was a bit disappointed with the bacon because it was tough instead of crispy. I enjoyed the daily congee and the noodle soup station. Dinner at Seafood was a nice experience. We had a drink voucher with our stay. The ambiance is nice, good for a date night. Servers are very knowledgeable and I appreciate them explaining the components of each dish. They were also very attentive. Food is good and I especially liked the lechon rice which was delicious and generous. The experience was not cheap. Room service was excellent. Food was also generous especially the noodle dish and all were very tasty. Tip: you’re entitled to two mineral water bottles per person each day, if you have room service, ask for additional pitcher of iced water if needed. Great staff, good facilities. We had an overall wonderful stay at Aqua Boracay, except the shower. In our room, B1-205, it was so difficult to get the right mixture of hot and cold water. No matter how big or small the adjustments one makes, the water would either be cold or too hot. I called the attention of the front desk about this during my checkout and I hope they resolve this. Another suggestion for management, pls have better quality bedroom slippers because what you provided were so thin and cheap. Lower starred hotels have much better bedroom slippers. And have your brand printed on it.

Boracay Sands doesn’t disappoint. The staffs are very accommodating. Room is being cleaned everyday. Breakfast buffet has a lot of selection. A superb beach front hotel plus the sunset view was so majestic. Worth the experience. Recommend indeed! Thanks Boracay Sands!
La Isla Bonita Resort and Spa
3.5/56 Reviews
Boat Station 3
Probably the comment is not very good, so there is not much price increase during the Spring Festival. This is still good. Most of the people who live here are foreigners. They are always full. There are few Chinese people. The location is really good. The beach, at S3, diving sunset sailing, water sports are very convenient, there are not as many people as S2, it is confirmed that there is no WiFi, no free breakfast, no disposable items, no kettle, no hair dryer, non-Huawei mobile phone in the room, The Internet is not good, the room is still very big, very clean, and the decoration style is ok. It is more retro and clean. It has not been cleaned for 3 days. It should be a style that European and American tourists like, but in general, Chinese New Year During this price, this great location, such a large room, was quite cost-effective.

Boat Station 3
This is a review for the restaurant/bar; I had already booked my accommodation in advance before finding this place during my trip (but I would definitely look to book a room here in future if I am lucky enough to visit Boracay again). The restaurant serves very authentic tasting Thai food, with lovely basil/coriander/ginger/lemongrass flavours, making it a great change from the typical food served in many of the other restaurants. The bar is at the front and is therefore great for sitting with a beer and looking out on to the beach for some ”people-watching”. The bar is managed by a very friendly guy - Arthur - who has been working there for a long time (I think he said 30 years!) Arthur keeps the beer super-cold, and is great for a relaxed chat, with tips for the island. The other staff were all very friendly too. A very relaxed and friendly place. Hope to see you again in the future, Arthur! (P.S. My only suggestion would be to have a larger sign at the front advertising your Thai food; I know there is a sign but, to be honest, I didn't notice it, and I only discovered the Thai food by accident when I asked for the menu. I think a clearer sign for your great Thai food may bring in additional customers? All the best - and many thanks!)
Boracay Morning Beach Resort

Boat Station 3
Great place right by the beach. The owner and his daughter are very welcoming and nice. Location is just perfect, shops, restaurants, bars everything is nearby. The room is simple, but if you are just there to sleep, it’s fine. The AC was working well, it was strong, so we were only using fan at night. WiFi signal was strong too.
Bamboo Beach Resort & Restaurant

Boat Station 3
Good spacious room and spacious bathroom. Awesome location beach front located at station 3 plenty of food options, they offer buffet at 299 pesos mostly local crowd, walking distance to 7/11 and other convenient stores. Only thing is there is a loud music band at the hangover food festival on the left side of the hotel which plays music till midnight this wouldn’t be a problem if you enjoy music. 3rd floor on the left side of the hotel doesn’t have a good or pleasant view due to abandon side or side under construction. All rooms seems to have a balconies. Worth the money & awesome and friendly hotel staff
