Hotele z: breakfast w Western Visayas, Philippines

Pros The hotel is in a great location. It is right on the beach. Restaurants, bars and stores were all right outside hotel. As you walk out of hotel, you will be bombarded with people selling you things: hair braiding, excursions, seafood, tattoos, bracelets, massages… etc but that’s everywhere on the beach. Hotel staff were great!  They surprised my son with a birthday song and a treat on his birthday. We didn’t even let them know it was his birthday, so they must have noticed on his passport. They took photos and videos of this nice surprise. Upon checkout, hotel also gave us personalize bracelets as thank you gifts. Swimming pool was nice and not too busy. Breakfast was not bad. Lots of options. Great breakfast view.  Cons Our room was really far. We booked for 4 but only had 2 towels in the room. Had to request for more towels as well as hand towels and floor towels as the room don’t have any. Water pressure was terrible. At some point, there was no water coming out of the faucet at all. We couldn’t shower or wash our hands. Staff were super accommodating and changed our room the next day. 2nd room was closer and much newer looking. Water pressure was good but now wifi was not working.

This hotel exceeded our expectations for a weekend couple's retreat. The layout of the property is fantastic, featuring modern, well-maintained facilities that never felt overcrowded. Our bed provided exceptional comfort, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Customer service was remarkably attentive and polite. It is a wonderful destination if you are looking to unwind and relax in style.

Had such a wonderful stay! The hotel exceeded my expectations the room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. I also appreciate the great service and thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. The location and overall experience were amazing. Thank you for the warm hospitality, would definitely love to come back!

PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WORKING REMOTELY! 60-75MPBS CLEANLINESS – Housekeeping cleans the room daily, although the floor mat and bedding may not always be replaced after every cleaning. They change the towels, toiletries, and bottled water register. LOCATION – 15 minutes drive from the main area, but the hotel offers free shuttle service to/from Station 2 Jollibee D’Mall every 30 minutes. During drop-off, you can request to be dropped along the way just inform the driver. If you prefer quieter and less crowded beach area just stay in Savoy which we personally loved because it was clean and peaceful. Walking there takes around 5minutes or less and I think Belmont is closer to the beach area. The only issue is walking to the beach may not be PWD or senior-friendly, so it’s better to request assistance from the front desk for a ride to the beach coast area. SERVICE – 1000000/10! The staff were incredibly accommodating, warm, and friendly throughout our stay. AMENITIES – Great pool, excellent gym area, and I absolutely loved their breakfast selection. The WiFi was also reliable and fast — we never encountered any internet issues during our stay.

I would like to commend and thank Belmont Boracay Hotel for being warm and accommodating with us during our stay. It was a memorable time for the family especially to our daughter who celebrated her birthday there. They made my daughter's birthday extra special with their complimentary cake and greetings set up in our room. It was a good surprise for her. The staff had been very helpful and provide an excellent service. More power to you!!

The in-room amenities are pretty standard, similar to what you'd find in a 1000+ RMB per night hotel back home – nothing special, nothing bad, just average. The 2300 RMB per night price mainly covers the hotel's private beach, services (kids' club, with daily craft classes and occasional pool parties), and the public facilities (three pools, including a kids' pool). We stayed for 10 nights, and when we checked out, they provided complimentary transfer to the airport (car + speedboat + car). We only had to pay the government's environmental protection fee and island entry fee ourselves. This service was absolutely excellent! When you check out, you might want to ask if they can offer this service. If it's your first time staying and you want an airport pick-up, I recommend contacting the hotel directly, as the airport transfer fee through Ctrip for this hotel is very expensive. The hotel is next door to the Movenpick Resort, and then next to that is the Shangri-La Hotel. You might want to compare prices.

I keep on coming back to this hotel whenever I am in Aklan and still gets amazed with the coordinated work of the employees and how they exceeded my expectations. Coast’s best assets are not just the location, timely airport transfer, their Filipino breakfast buffet, but most of all—-its employees. Thank you to Zel, Mercy, the concierge, Vea, Bryan/drivers, the guys who helped take care of us while on the beach, and I forgot the other names but— to everyone who made our stay really pleasantly memorable, thank you!

I was so annoyed with the remote control being faulty during our entire stay. I need to get near the sensor, just to keep it functioning. Imagine the hassle of standing up, every now and then just to change channels. For 54k for 2nights, its not worth it. Its really frustrating. Also prior to stay, I specifically requested for rooms near each other since we had kids and seniors with us. But lo & behold, rooms were 1 building away from each other. I kindly asked for assistance, but the front desk officer who I was talking to showed no empathy, the worst part? it seemed she was blaming me, telling me I was the one who booked it. Yeah, right. But it was my first time in the property, how would I know the room 341 was far from room 415. I assumed it was just a floor / elevator away. It feels like she wasn't even willing to help after all and just put all the blame to the client. One more thing, prior to our stay at Mandarin, we stayed at another property at Station 2, the front desk was a lot different!! They're not as accommodating, something was off, it feels like you're not welcome (I am pertaining to the front desk / manager who was processing the check-in) What I only liked about them was their staff who welcomes you when you arrive (the ones handing over wet towels and welcome drinks) they greet you warmly & very welcoming. Also, the request for a birthday greeting was also granted, thankful for that. But thats it, never coming back.

Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay, along with Shangri-La and Crimson, boasts an exclusive white sand beach. The main advantage is the peace and quiet, allowing guests to fully unwind and enjoy a truly relaxing 'lie-flat' vacation. The downside is its somewhat remote location. While you can book the hotel's shuttle service for transport, the frequency is limited. **Area:** Not particularly large, centered around the pool, with the beach accessible directly from the pool area. **Rooms:** Considering the room quality and size, they don't quite justify the price. They're comparable to blue-ocean hotels but significantly more expensive, and the overall hotel area is smaller, making it poor value for money. Its main selling point is undoubtedly the private beach. Near the Crimson area, there are reefs where you can try snorkeling. There are fish, though nothing large, and I even saw a moray eel – a nice little activity you can enjoy without having to go out on a boat. There are private small boats for rent at 300 pesos, which are great for a ride, and watching the sunset from the sea is absolutely stunning; the ocean here is incredibly beautiful. In the afternoon, there are often some dance activities on the beach that you can join, and from 3-4 PM, the restaurant offers afternoon tea, perfect for re-energizing before continuing your water activities.

The Property & Ambiance True to its name, the resort feels like a massive botanical garden. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, filled with lush greenery, towering trees, and vibrant tropical flowers that instantly make you feel relaxed. Walking through the pathways to your room feels like exploring a hidden paradise. Amenities & Pools One of the biggest highlights is the pool selection. They have multiple expansive swimming pools, complete with fun water slides and shallow splash areas that are absolutely perfect for families. The main pool area is surrounded by trees, offering plenty of natural shade when the midday sun gets a bit too intense. Rooms & Service The rooms are spacious, exceptionally clean, and well-maintained. The air conditioning works wonderfully, and the beds are incredibly comfortable after a long day of swimming and island hopping. What truly sets this resort apart, though, is the hospitality. From the front desk to the pool attendants, the staff goes above and beyond with their warm hospitality and ready smiles. The Verdict Whether you are traveling as a couple looking for a serene getaway or a family wanting great amenities for the kids, Paradise Garden delivers. Excellent location, beautiful green surroundings, fantastic pools, and top-tier service. We will definitely be back!
