This is a beautiful hotel located in the heart of Boracay. I really enjoyed the vibe—it's relaxing, and the staff are friendly and very accommodating. However, for a resort that presents itself as 5-star, there are areas that need improvement. The gym is extremely small and has very basic equipment. For a luxury resort, I expected a more spacious and well-equipped fitness center, especially since some guests do want to stay active even while on vacation.
Another major letdown was the breakfast buffet. The food selection was disappointing, with a heavy focus on pork products and very limited variety. During my 9-day stay, they served canned goods like tuna or sardines every morning—you could clearly tell they came straight from a can, which is unacceptable for a supposed 5-star establishment. The breakfast menu definitely needs a serious upgrade with more thoughtful and fresh options.
Lunch and dinner buffets were better, but the preparation of the prime rib was very underwhelming. The chefs could benefit from more training in cooking high-quality meats—based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend ordering prime rib here.
On the positive side, the hotel is clean, and I appreciated the housekeeping staff who provided fresh fruits and snacks daily. Their attention to detail and hospitality added a nice touch to the stay.
