5-Star Hotels in Western Visayas, Philippines

The experience were amazing. So good to be true. In our half day (afternoon) upon check in we had a lot of activities to do station 1 & 2 as a land tour for 3 hours. Then next day we had our island hopping for 5 half hours and we had a shoreline walk to go back to the hotel which gave us a better site viewing of the island and its beaches and locals. Our last day were spent on air (literally) in a parasailing which is refreshing and exciting adventure. All in All it’s fun to be able to see the island again. To go back sooner if not soonest.

We had a great stay at Henann Lagoon Resort. We were pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade from Deluxe to Premier, which made the experience even better. The room was spacious and clean. The only downside was that the location was a bit far from some of the main hotel amenities, but it wasn’t a big issue. Everything else was excellent, especially the buffet breakfast—great variety and quality. Would definitely recommend!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel safe, comfortable and every single need was catered to. Traveling with our 1 year old son for the first time, the stay at Movenpick was exactly the right place. Amazing amazing staff: Our transfer by private boat, van and bus was organised perfectly. Checking in and out - staff are friendly. Concierge and staff assistance with transfers/ in town travel and anything else - exceptional. Staff at the pools, beach, restaurants, daycare, shops, cleaning staff - all are exceptional and truly warm and friendly. Amazing food and drinks, pool and beach is amazing and we truly cannot say enough how well we were treated and spoiled. Special shoutout to: Rianne, Honey, Antonet, Mia, Cara and Brooks for greeting our boy by name every day, spending time with him, making him laugh all while making sure we are comfortable and enjoying our breakfast/lunch/dinner - you all truly embody professional and loving service - we will miss seeing you every morning. To the managers - Arnold, Marichel and Arlene - thank you for your honest goodness, smiles and small favours (small glasses of fruit juice, extra bananas etc etc). We are sad to leave here but will definitely be back one day - hope to see you all here again!

This hotel is simply amazing! From the moment you arrive, you’re captivated by its beauty and stylish design. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, creating a luxurious and cozy atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, diverse, and full of flavor. I moved here from the neighboring Mövenpick, and it was the best decision ever! The difference is like night and day—going from a nightmare to a dream. The service here is exceptional, and they truly care about their guests. I’m beyond impressed and would love to return!

The hotel where we stayed with our family exceeded all expectations! We were accommodated in spacious and comfortable rooms, which were perfect for a family vacation. The service was outstanding — the staff was always friendly and ready to assist with any requests. The hotel’s facilities were excellent: a pool with a children’s area, a playground, and various activities for kids, which allowed us to relax knowing our children were safe and entertained. The breakfasts were delicious and varied, offering a great selection of dishes for both adults and kids. The hotel’s location was also ideal: close to the beach and main attractions, making our stay even more convenient. We were able to fully unwind and enjoy our time without worrying about small details. We will definitely return here again!

My husband and I stayed at The Mandarin Bay Resort and Spa for 6 nights. We understood the hotel to be in the midst of a soft opening and expected some services to not be up and running which was fine by us as Station 2 has every amenity needed. Below are the pros and cons of our stay. Pros: The staff: They are the main strength of the hotel. Everybody we encountered seemed to be a part of a working team and were so helpful and thoughtful. The room: It was spacious and comfortable. Little treats were left on the table each evening. Water was replenished as frequently as you would like. There was a lot of storage space, and details like flip flops and umbrellas were in the room. A retractable clothesline in the bathroom would be helpful for hanging daily beachwear. Location: If you like to be in the middle of it all, this is the place for you. Everything you could think of needing was a few seconds away. Breakfast food: This was by far, the best breakfast buffet I’ve had! For 6 days there were no repeats! Egg station, soup station, and carving stations in addition to regular breakfast foods and so much more. Someone serving water, tea, and coffee would help alleviate the long waits for the drinks. Cons: The noise level outside: This hotel has music playing all day at the pool/pool restaurant/check-in waiting area. Sometimes it is coming from the pool speakers, sometimes from a DJ, sometimes from a performer, but it is constant and loud and at times two different songs playing at the same time. Along with the music, there are also drums being played each time a new van load of guests arrive. It is important to note that the layout of the hotel with rooms surrounding the pool creates a kind of echo, so music, drums, whistles, and voices are amplified. There is no sanctuary in the hotel. Boracay, in general, is loud, so I was hoping to come home from the bars or restaurants or beach to read a book or relax by the pool but this was not possible. Looking around, it seemed loud at other hotels too, so maybe it’s just me that was hoping for a relaxing space and I should not have been in Station 2. I did not realize that it was loud INSIDE the hotels and resorts in Station 2. The noise level inside: Our room was near the stairs and elevator area that carried noise and echo. When the service began early in the morning, trolleys and voices offer an early wake-up call. The layout: The hotel is 5 or 6 stories high surrounding the pool. Many rooms look from the balcony over the pool and directly into the other rooms. It seems they tried to squish as many rooms as they could onto the land and did not make room for a pool deck. There are about 20 chairs only for the entire resort. If you book a ground floor, direct pool access room, know that people will be swimming on your outside space, so don’t forget to close your curtains! Beach: There are 20 chairs only for Mandarin Bay guests but they hand out beach mats for people who did not score a chair. Unfortunately, between the months of January and May Boracay has its Lumot season and there was an abundance of green algae. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to people who love the resort style of stays, but know in advance that it is not a calm, quiet spot.

Our stay at Crimson Resort and Spa Boracay was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the excellent service and warm hospitality made us feel welcome. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going the extra mile to ensure our comfort. One of the best parts of our stay was how much our kids enjoyed the experience. The resort offers a family-friendly atmosphere with plenty of activities, making it a great choice for those traveling with children. It was definitely worth the money, as we created wonderful memories together. The food at Saffron Café was excellent, offering a variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was satisfying and well-prepared. Overall, Crimson Boracay exceeded our expectations with its stunning location, top-notch service, and relaxing ambiance. We highly recommend it to families, couples, and anyone looking for a luxurious getaway in Boracay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hennan Park Resort, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. I was impressed by the spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished rooms. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after long days of exploration. One of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the dining experience. The resort offers an extensive selection of dishes for both breakfast and dinner, catering to various tastes and preferences. I found the food to be not just plentiful but also incredibly delicious. I'd like to give a special mention to the reception staff. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attentiveness truly enhanced my stay. They were always ready to assist with any queries or requests, making me feel welcomed and valued throughout my visit. Overall, Hennan Park Resort provided an outstanding combination of comfort, culinary delights, and excellent service. I wholeheartedly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a memorable stay in the area.

A great hotel definitely. But there some room for improvement. Room with mosquitoes is definitely great to welcome guests. We requested the following day to have it resolved, they put 2 plug-in mosquito repellants on our room which solved the problem.  Breakfast buffet need some improvement as well.  Swimming pool is excellent and lastly, staff service and friendliness is what made our trip memorable. Thank you Hennan Garden ❤️ see you soon!

Our late-February stay at Henann Crystal Sands was a great experience. The location is unbeatable, steps from D-Mall, making exploring Boracay easy. We especially loved the excellent free breakfast buffet, a real highlight. The resort's pools were also a plus, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. We appreciated that the infinity pool on the 2nd floor was open late. We'd definitely recommend it for a convenient and pleasant Boracay vacation.
