"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."

"Hotel was nice, a big pool in the center and another roof top pool with a Bar. right on the ocean with plenty of restaurants and bars. I am not sure what to compare it to as this was my first travel to the area the level of the rooms, and hotel was decent and good, everything was clean and enjoyable. It wasn't high end resort. Staff was super nice and friendly."

"We’ve been booking this hotel ever since and my kids love this hotel. However, this time around we had a terrible experience upon checking in. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) but my eldest is already considered an adult because of his age which is understandable to any hotel policy. We booked a premium deluxe room which is the biggest in this hotel with 1 double bed and 1 single (same as what we’d booked before). What we don’t like is what happened with us upon checking in, they said my son is considered an adult they insisted on us getting another room which is unreasonable for us since hello??! A 10 year old kid will stay by himself in the room OR separate us family??! The room we booked can occupy 3 ADULTS to technically speaking this should be allowed. We also informed that we are WILLING TO PAY EXTRA for our 2 kids - and by the way they have an option for this; a rate for extra kid/child. Still they insisted on the another room. We had to wait for hours to confirm if what we want can happen. The manager (name:Charizze) is not willing to meet us half way. In the end we paid for 3 ADDITIONAL ADULTS!! Talk about a ripped off when it should just be 2 extra kids. Also our request for airpot transfer upon arrival was denied due to the same reason of not getting another room. Really terrible customer service (reservations supervisor: Bea Race) This will be our last stay in Hennan Prime. Sad to say they have a TERRIBLE FRONT DESK CUSTOMER SERVICES. Hennan you need to train your managers well."

"The most satisfactory hotel in Boracay. I also stayed in Movenpick and Mandarin afterwards, but this one is too cost-effective. 1. Ctrip is really good. When I found that other platforms were more expensive than it, they directly refunded me the difference. 2. For two nights, I got a massage and salt bath for two people. Its spa is the best in Boracay☝️. It also provides round trip to the airport. It is round trip. Even if I stay in other hotels later🏨. 3. The appearance of the room is very suitable for taking pictures, which is much better than the stereotyped🏨. 4. The hotel is not big, and there are not many rooms. The service is particularly good."

"Quiet at night, excellent location to get to the action of the west beaches, or the chilled vibes of the east. Located on the main road, it has access to plenty of shops and restaurants. Rooftop pool is nice, but closes at 6pm. The 2nd floor pool is bigger, very relaxed, and well shaded for those that tend to burn like myself. Staff were all wonderful, and some of the most friendly Filipinos we met during our whole trip. THat helps make the day great when they are the first and last people you see, right? We would definitely stay there again. We opted for the private pool as well, but it felt a little bit boxed in. Nice to have, but not really a necessity."

"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! 🏝️"

"We truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The service was exceptional, and every staff member was caring and incredibly friendly. We especially appreciated the beach staff and the excellent service they provided. The breakfasts, although not huge, offered a great selection and were just perfect for us. The rooms were always clean, with no reminders needed. There were also fun activities for the kids, which was a nice touch. A special thank you to Ben, who took great care of us. We also loved the small thoughtful touches the hotel provided, such as the beach bags and the Christmas tree photo opportunity—both of which were free and created wonderful memories for us. I also want to highlight the fantastic work of the staff at the beach and by the pools. Ben, in particular, made a great impression by remembering the names of my children and frequently addressing them personally. Additionally, the ice cream and popcorn offered to both kids and adults was a lovely gesture that we truly enjoyed. We had a wonderful time and will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends. I’m sure we will be back again."

"Hotel was under renovation so didnt feel comfortable most of the time. Reserved room with beach view but unless you get the top floor its not much of a view at all. No free drinking water in the room was a surprise! The constant live music at dining isnt my thing but thats not particular to this hotel as its a Filipino thing in general. The room is big sized and everything (electrics, bathroom) worked well enough. The food was better than anticipated at the breakfast Buffett and was nice at other times as well. They require a 1000peso per night deposit on check in which is absurd if staying for a week. All in all its vastly overpriced and a bit tired looking place and I wouldn’t consider returning anytime soon. Staff were fantastically attentive and helpful !"

"The hotel is located in nice beach, white sand, an incredible spot, however not properly maintained. The access is bad, the water feature at the entry long stairs is not working and water seems to be stoped for a long time. It seems not very crowded with guests even on ***** New year holiday and only one restaurant running. The pool bar was closed. Missing one of our bookings for a shuttle, encountering a huge cockroach near the bed, being told that the room is not ready on check in and after 10 mins it's actually ready and made us walk all the way back to reception when the room was just near where we were didn't leave us with a good impression of the service. Staff needs to be more attentive not only saying ”good morning sir” but actually carrying for what are the guests needs. Hotel staff needs more training."

"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!"
