Henan Crystal Sands Resort

I stayed at Henann Crystal Sands Resort. It is located in the center of Boracay and is close to D'Mall, so it was convenient for finding food and shopping. Since it was a 3-night trip, I didn't go around much and just stayed nearby. I booked a room with pool access, and applied for pickup and drop-off at Caticlan Airport. I booked on the Henan Crystal website. Since I booked on a general reservation site, the price for 3-person reservations was hard to find and the cost difference was big, so I looked around here and there, and when I looked at the website, I saw that I could change it to 3 people. Since I booked it last minute, I used it because it was cheaper than the price for 3 people on the general reservation site at the time of booking. The pool access room was about 1.5 times more expensive than the general deluxe. After experiencing it once, I think I'll book a general room next time. There is the convenience of accessing the pool right away, but I didn't actually use it that much. That's because it's cost-effective.. The infinity pool is not as big as I thought, but it's good for taking pictures. I couldn't use it for long either. Don't think of breakfast as a 5-star hotel in Korea. I think you can just eat one meal in the morning. I've seen it in many reviews, but it seems like there are a lot of local hawkers in front of Crystal Sands. I didn't make a separate activity reservation and went there to find and do it locally. There's a price list for activities at the hotel lobby concierge, so you can refer to it. If you keep haggling with the locals, the price seems to drop to around 70%. Some people even ask me to tell them the price later. If you really ask them for a low price, they just leave. I haven't made a reservation with a Korean company or a Korean travel agency, so I can't compare. I guess it's more convenient because there are a lot of Koreans, and they care about language and other things. I made three activities: hopping, parasailing, and sunset tour. I made the hopping reservation through the hotel concierge and the other two with locals. The hopping was 7,500 pesos for a 3-person private tour, and they gave me an extra 100 pesos per person in the middle, saying something about the environment. Crystal Cove Island is separate and they ask if we should go. I said let's go. I did parasailing for 1,200 pesos per person with a local. There was also a hotel activity hopping join for 900 pesos per person in the morning, so if the time was right, I would have done that. It felt a bit awkward because there were only 3 of us going privately. 2 crew members, 1 guide, 3 of us Address: Near Station 2 Atmosphere/Facilities: Sophisticated facilities, near hot places Key Points: Conveniently located in the center of Boracay Average price per person: Rating: #Boracay
