Mountain View Hotels in Boracay Island

The Arrival We were met at the baggage claim by a happy-looking guy holding up a sign that said ”Crimson” and were directed to the van, which took us to the boat terminal. There was a private waiting area inside the terminal, where we waited about 20 minutes for the boat. The boat ride took about 15 mins, going to the far side of the island, instead of the dock directly across the water. We were pleasantly surprised by a beautiful rock formation we’d never known was there, since in all the times going to Boracay, we had never seen that part of the island. From there, we rode a van to the resort, which was about a 10-minute ride. Staff was very pleasant, and all around a good pick-up experience.   Checking in We were welcomed with a glass of dalandan (citrus fruit) flavored iced tea. It was a quick check-in, and we were happy to know that our hotel room was ready right away. We were escorted to our room.   The Suite Our room was amazing! We came to Boracay to celebrate our son’s birthday. When we entered the room, they surprised us with a “Happy Birthday” sign on the bed as well as on the TV screen. There was also a cake and cookies which the kids loved. We booked a 1-bedroom suite with a plunge pool. For reference, we are a family of 5, and the kids' ages ranged from toddler to preteen. The room was spacious enough for all of us and very clean. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. For someone who has spine issues, I slept well. The bathroom had all the toiletries you would need, from the loofa to bubble bath. Shower water pressure matters to us 😅, and it didn't disappoint. Also, there was also a crimson tote and a beach sombrero. They were very thoughtful with what they chose to provide for guests.   The Restaurants   Saffron cafe - Our booking included breakfast, which was buffet-style. There was a wide selection of food, including continental and Filipino breakfast, a carving station, omelette station, bread and pastries, and dim sum and noodle stations. Some Mediterranean, Japanese, and Korean dishes too. The servers were all so friendly and accommodating, always happy to serve. Mosaic - Latin American grill The first thing that struck me was the beautiful interior design. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus, Caesar salad with anchovies, and the salmon tiradito as appetizers. The octopus paired very well with beets which was unexpected; Caesar salad, you can never go wrong with, while the salmon was just ok. For the main course, we ordered The Tomahawk steak and the cod which were excellent. They served the steak with different choices of salt and sauces, which elevated the flavor and the presentation of the food, and all of them were good. By the way, all restaurants in the resort had a kids' menu, which came with a drink, main entree, and dessert. Do yourself a favor and order their Tres Leches 👌 Azure Beach Club - so accommodating, and the food was great! We entered the restaurant wet from the rain, and they were happy to sit us

Excellent hotel at the beach. I extended my stay 3 times. Friendly staff. Excellent value for money money. Guests can use the sun bed provided at the beach. In a quite are in station 3 but a few minutes away from the station 2. It offers free a la carte breakfast with gran variety and options. Also bar has all day 2x1 cocktails. The staff is friendly. The cleaning is spotless, my room always smells fresh and clean.

Alta Vista is our go to place at Boracay! We’ve been to boracay 4x and we always love staying at Alta Vista!!! We tried staying at other hotels in between but Alta Vista outstands the hospitality of all the other hotels we’ve stayed in. The bed was so comfortable that it’s hard to get out! The aircon was so cold that it refreshes us whenever we came back from the beach. The room was always clean and tidy each and every visit! The jacuzzi pool was so relaxing after a long day from the beach! Kindly look for Rochel, Ike, Jhona, Joy as they are the warmiest people who’ll be there to assist you! For our shuttle service Herbert, Ray, Genesis and Acer are always on the go whenever we needed a ride! We thought we love Boracay but our heart goes to Alta Vista! We’re surely to come back soon! Thank you Alta Vista! ❤️

This is a lovely hotel in Boracay. Staying there, we got to know the family who is running it and their ethos is incredible, with sustainability and the local community in mind. The hotel is bright and airy, with interesting art and overall very good value for money. All the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. It's a very very short walk to one of the best parts of the amazing white beach, with great places to swim or to sit and have a coffee or meal. Would definitely stay again.

Upon entering our room, it had a funky smell due to it being not cleaned or maintained for a long time. You can clearly see the dirt around the corners and feel the dust on the floor. The toilet was dirty with the bidet broken. There were no basic toiletries. We have to ask a towel which they have only one available (we followed up the second towel a day after). All of these give us the impression of indifference and unpreparedness towards the necessities of their guests. More worryingly, we suspect that the bed is filled with bed fleas/bugs since my partner had increasingly suffered bites as the days go by (we stayed for 3 nights). It is such a shame considering the positive reviews we have read online before and at the beginning of the pandemic. Unfortunately, it seems Chillax has been ”abandoned” and lost its credibility as one of the best hostels in Boracay.

If you want a peaceful environment away from the busy White Beach, this is the perfect place to stay. Station 1 is within walking distance though, maybe 15-20 minute walk. The room I booked always gives a perfect view of the sunset. The owner, Mel, is very welcoming and approachable. Other staff Dave and Jazell are also very friendly and helpful. They also gave me the option to have my breakfast brought to my room every morning. Very convenient! The AC works perfectly well, the hot shower, and they have bidet and hair dryer. Not to mention the fully equipped kitchen and dining area (they have a stove and cooking utensils, and a big fridge). The resident dogs Gia and Winston are adorable. Maybe the only disadvantages I can think of are the flooding in the area going to the hotel (whenever it rains quite heavily even for a short time) and the rampant chicken farm/poultry owners everywhere in the area (the noise can be bothersome in the morning when you are having a good sleep). But nevertheless, this is a great hotel and worth every penny you’ll pay.
