All in all it was a very good hotel. We were treated well, the beds were good, there were many opportunities to do lots of fun things. It was not very expensive, and the rooms are beautiful!
But I won't go back to Boracay...
If this hotel was any other place, I might go there. But Boracay is not my idea of a vacation. I could get the same experience without the 18 hour flight. I loved all other parts of the Philippines, but there are just too many tourists in Boracay, it has lost its charm. We were there fro Feb 24th to march 1st, and they had a bad case of algues! The water was disgusting and green the whole way from station 1 to 3!
We started in Cebu to go diving in Moalboal - that was amazing! We ended in Coron for the full luxury ending, and that was incredible and cultural. But Boracay was a tourist hell - Not what we wanted unfortunately...
