Scenic Hotels in Boracay Island

"Rating: 9/10 — Great value on a discounted rate We loved our stay at Fairways & Bluewater Boracay. The resort is gorgeous: multiple pools, a clean private beach cove, lots of greenery, and a generally calm, upscale vibe away from the crowds. Huge thanks to the staff—when we didn’t like our first (older) room, they were understanding and promptly moved us to a newer room. That flexibility really made our stay. What we loved Spacious, modern room after the move; comfy bed and strong A/C. Beautiful pools and a well-kept private beach area. Peaceful grounds ideal for relaxing after island activities. Friendly, helpful team (front desk, housekeeping, and drivers). What could be better The resort is very spread out. You often need a buggy/shuttle to get around, and at busy times you may wait a bit. Location is far from White Beach/D’Mall, so quick trips to town take planning (shuttle or taxi). Older rooms (the first one we saw) show wear and could use refreshing. Wi-Fi can be patchy in some buildings. Breakfast is fine, but the variety gets repetitive on longer stays. On-site food and services are convenient but priced higher than in town. Bottom line On a discounted rate, Fairways & Bluewater is excellent value if you want space, a private beach, and a quieter setting. Tip: request a newer room near the pool/restaurant you’ll use most to reduce shuttle time. Big thanks to the staff for going the extra mile—we’d happily return."

"We really enjoyed the Paradise in this hotel. Very cozy and the room is clean even though you see some dents in the room as the place is old. My family enjoyed the pool especially the slide. The staff are friendly. They even welcome us with complimentary drinks and the breakfast buffet is superb! We loved the bacon!!! We enjoyed having breakfast in front of the beach. The hotel restaurant is in a perfect place to eat. , 😁😁😁 thank you Paradise Garden. We'll surely come back to this hotel. 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you...."

"I recently stayed at Henann Palm Boracay and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive. The check-in process was quick and smooth. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. Housekeeping did a great job each day, and everything was kept in perfect condition. The location was ideal—close to major attractions and restaurants, but still quiet enough for a restful night’s sleep. I also appreciated the on-site pool and restaurant which added to the overall comfort and convenience of the stay. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and the service was always friendly and efficient. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!"

"Boracay Ocean Beach Club exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff's warm hospitality and efficiency set a welcoming tone. The resort itself is a stunning oasis, beautifully landscaped and impeccably maintained. Our room was spacious, clean, and offered breathtaking ocean views – waking up to that vista each morning was truly special. The pool area was a highlight, providing a relaxing escape with comfortable loungers and attentive service. We enjoyed the delicious food at the resort's restaurants, with fresh, flavorful dishes and a range of options to suit every taste. The location is perfect, offering easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. Overall, our stay at Boracay Ocean Beach Club was an unforgettable experience, a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious and relaxing Boracay getaway."

"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 hassle-free stay! Hotel staff knows their stuff, they have all necessary skills and understanding to perform their roles effectively. Always happy to help without expecting anything in return. Thanks for making our trip extra special."

"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!"

"We stayed at the hotel from September 2nd to 8th, 2025. We really liked the hotel; it's located right on the beachfront. Breakfasts are à la carte, but there's a good variety to choose from. Housekeeping is available upon request, and they'll clean your room every day if you ask. Its location at Station 2 is arguably the heart of all activity on Boracay. Within walking distance, you'll find plenty of cafes, restaurants, and D'Mall for shopping. The staff are courteous and always ready to help and offer advice. I definitely recommend it!!!"

"We had an amazing stay in Boracay. We love that the hotel is right on the beach. The sea view from our room is a big plus. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and just watching nature at its finest. My only complain so far was when the power went off in the room, I called the receptionist to ask. The receptionist answered and tells me there is a power outage and from 6AM to 6PM and they apologize for the inconvenience. I hang up thinking there’s nothing we could do. My husband wasn’t happy about the absence of AC so he calls them again after a couple of hours of enduring the heat and humidity to ask why we don’t have power. So the person on the other end send someone to fix our key connection switch. The receptionist that answered my call the first time should have handled it a different way. He should have been a bit more accommodating in trying to help instead of just saying they are sorry and it is what it is. The hotel is rated 5 stars after all."

"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! 🏝️"
