Hotels with Private Pool in Boracay Island

"⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) We stayed at Boracay Haven Laguna and overall had a good experience. The pools were fantastic, the breakfast was great, and the staff — especially the massage team — were always friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there were a few issues that left me disappointed. On our first day, we didn’t have hot water, and when I used the kettle, it leaked and ended up burning my hand. I mentioned it to the front desk before heading out for dinner, but later that evening, we heard laughter coming from the same area. I asked if they were laughing about my situation — they said no, it was about another guest — but the timing made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised that no one seemed to take the safety issue seriously, especially since I had my 4-year-old with me. To make things worse, even the bucket of ice we were given was leaking. Despite that, most of the staff were wonderful, and the facilities were lovely. It’s a nice place overall, but that one incident left a bad impression — so I probably wouldn’t stay there again."

"Overall a disappointing stay with Crimson. It started off bad and really never improved sadly. Our flight into Caticlan was delayed 5 hours, arriving at 19:30. I was in communication with Crimson throughout the delay updating them on our progress and estimated arrival time. They had warned me that they don’t organise transfers after 8pm. However, upon arrival they had left us to transit to the hotel via a third party provider. This provider was fine, and did their job, but it was a transfer that involved stopping at 3 other hotels - very much not the private 5 star experience we had been promised, taking 1 hour and a half. The fact they did not wait until 8pm, when other resorts were prepared and waiting, was a big disappointment. The transfer was eventually provided for free after our experience - which to be honest is the bare minimum. It’s insane I even had to pay for the transfer considering most 5 star hotels would provide this for free. Whilst the rooms were fine, the service was extremely disappointing throughout. Check-in took ages, and for some reason there is no aircon in anywhere outside the restaurants and rooms, so we were stuck sweating after an 8 hour journey whilst waiting the 30 minutes to check in. Additionally, every single request we made was either ignored or took ages. I had requested decorations in the room to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, but received nothing. I managed to get things organised whilst there, but after requesting matches to light a candle, these never arrived. Add on the fact we would have to request water multiple times before any showed up and it was all just very frustrating. We had booked a sea view room, but were unable to fully enjoy it as it was located directly in front of the infinity pool, with guests able to see directly into the privacy of our bedroom due to the lack of any noticeable tinting on the windows. The rooms were also not soundproofed, and we had to wake up early every day to the sounds of screaming children using the pool in front of our room. No amenities were on offer - no access to water bottles without requesting or paying, no access to coffee without paying, no welcome or departure drinks, no free water on the beach (which is seriously just dangerous). Crimson certainly has a 5 star beach and sea. The access to the beach is superb and the sand and sea were typically excellent, but it’s not as if Crimson has control over these things. In fact despite the environmental fee, I regularly saw some litter in the sea and on the beach. It felt very budget in the way they treat you. There are shuttles to the centre but these run almost every 3 hours and are often packed, offered on a first come first serve basis. Every little thing is charged too. For a check out at 12pm instead of 11am, it’s 2000PHP. There’s no way to charge anything to rooms to pay upon check out (like every other hotel) if you do not have a credit card. Debit cards are no good for the deposit apparently. We just stayed at Piece Lio in El Nido, which was far far far superior. It’s a real shame because Crimson does not do service to a terrific sea and stunning location. It may be the most modern 5 star hotel on the island but honestly just pay the extra and go to the Shangri-La. It’s almost as if they knew how bad it was. We weren’t even asked how our stay was upon checking out, as if they were dreading the answer. It felt like an American diner leaving, where they just wanted us out the room as quickly as possible to make space for their next cash cow. We even arrived at the airport 3 hours early for a domestic flight for some reason."

"We had a warm welcome with 🍹 drinks.The staff were very accomodating regardless the ethnicity.One of the nice and important thing about the staff walking around that caught our attention was they greet every visitor on their way, it makes us feel good first thing in the morning.The facilities are great very clean.They will lend you towel when you want to go to the beach,very convinient.Awesome buffet breakfast with ocean view.They even bother to call our transfer tour which I booked on different agency and make sure we will have no worries.If you some guests expect too much I think they should pay more because infairness in this resort,they’ve done a very good job!Go and experience this fantastic Two Seasons Resort!!!"

"Great breakfasts, friendly staff, free towels for the beach and pool, a nearby hypermarket, and just a 5-minute walk to the beach. The ride from the port to the hotel takes only 15 minutes by tricycle. However, it was little bit disappointing that room service dinner wasn’t always available - some days, even basic pizza wasn’t an option."

"Probably the hotel with the best price to service ratio in whole Boracay! :) it is located on the quite east coast (not the busy, touristy, Party west-coast). The beach behind the hotel is quite and perfect for wind-surfers! The hotel and staff is also great :) modern, comfortable and modern! Great pool! 🏝️"

"Excellent private beachfront resort, clean shoreline, perfect for snorkeling and lots of sunbeds to relax. Large pool and have 3 restaurants inside the resort. Has free shuttle service going to D’mall. Cleanliness of the resort including restrooms near the pool is excellent. Buffet breakfast is good with lots of choices to choose from. My daughter love the chocolate hour too. Excellent service from airport pickup until checkout. All staffs are friendly. Thank you Mövenpick for the wonderful stay!"

"Private villas are great. There are beautiful private beaches. It is great for the three families to join the villa together. The rooms are super large, the facilities are well-equipped, the hygiene is good, the service is warm and thoughtful, and the whole island can be provided by shuttle bus. I made a special trip to take us to the market to buy ingredients, and also helped guide the way and mention things. It is highly recommended. Great value for money, the biggest surprise in Long Beach is this private villa. Will go again! The only drawback is that breakfast is not provided. Orders need to be ordered in advance and brought from other hotels."

"A wonderful villa, excellent view of Boracay south sea.. woke up daily to see the sunrise 🌅 with wonderful view of the islands across the sea… the service was excellent, especially Ms Arlene who was assigned to our Villa.. she made our stay a more than just pleasant one 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 The location may not be very accessible.. please book a Trike to bring both yourself + luggages to their main gate.. else you may need to carry them across many high and lows slopes.. my luggage broke 2 wheels due to this lack of knowledge 👌🏼.. but don’t let this affect the wonderful experience in store at One Hagden Villa 👍🏼👍🏼"

"This is unexpected booking but super worth it. They gave us excellent services from the early check in and room service. They checked if the guess are ok & some concern. The room are bigger than we expected. The buffet even just 2-3 options it’s delicious. Lots of option in bread and super yummy.everyone in hotel are friendly but need some training how to address the guess especially it’s obviously im a trans with big boobs and very feminine. Some staff especially the boys called me Sir which are very awkward and unprofessional if my boyfriend with me it’s going to be fight🫩 but In total it’s recommended hotel in boracay. It’s worth it our stay❤️"

"Excelent resort. The resort is offering breathtaking views, pristine private beaches, and an atmosphere of pure tranquility. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Our villa was luxurious, spacious, and impeccably clean The food was exceptional across all the restaurants. We particularly loved the seafood at the Sirena Restaurant. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve experienced, with a wide variety of international and local options. Shangri-La Boracay is the perfect destination for a relaxing escape."
