Every two months we come from Lipata to Iloilo for immigration, tourist visa. Our favorite place to stay is Zuri Hotel! Very beautiful place, right next to SM Mall! The kids love the pool area and the buffet breakfast! I like ordering in food and laying back in the room! My wife loves the family shopping at the mall! I like the hot shower! Their foods are delicious! Everytime we call for ice or service, they're ringing our door bell in minutes! Staff is very friendly! We all love taking pictures there!

Overall, I really liked everything. The hosts are very pleasant and welcoming; they even gave us a cute box of cookies for Christmas, which was so sweet. They're always ready to help if you need anything, so I'll definitely be back. The rooms might not be the newest, but they don't charge exorbitant prices for them either. It's a good place!!! However, the photo of the beach right nearby is misleading.
The location and the cleanliness of the hotel si superb. But one con that I can think of is the room is not noise proof. You’ll hear the band playing on the opposite hotel until 12 am and if the other room are playing a music, you’ll clearly hear them. Like loud and clear.
This is my 2nd time to stay here.
As always fast and easy checked in.
Staffs were nice and accommodating.
My 1st stay before was all good.
But the recent stay had some bits of problems
1st one have some bit foul smell but that I just didn't mind
2nd one the aircon leaked twice:First while we were asleep ended up my nephew's school work being soaked .
Second one in the morning.
3rd:The blinds fell twice.
Good thing they're fast to fix it the moment u call .
Hopefully no more happening like this next time.

This hotel is truly one-of-a-kind on Boracay, boasting a beachfront location right by S1, which is incredibly advantageous! You step right out to the beautiful blue sea and sky. Facing the ocean, a walk to the left takes you to the lively area with all sorts of restaurants, while a walk to the right leads to a more tranquil zone with high-end hotels and a spacious beach. We spent a wonderful week here with my family, it was absolutely perfect!
The location is great, but the overall stay could be better. Firstly, in our room it says ”two full beds”, but it's not full, as 2 people can hardly sleep together on one bed. Also we didn't like the rule about the sunbeds, that people came to the beach at 6-7 am, put the towel and then left for many hours, and the sunbeds will be ”reserved” for them. At some point, there were no available sunbeds with no people on occupied ones.
Staff is helpful, they're trying to solve everything, but in the end, some rules have to be changed in order to improve the service. Also, for the cleaning, you need to request every time for it, and if you didn't request, there will be no cleaning.
Seaside restaurant and bar sofas are good, but also can be reserved with no people sitting there.
Overall a good experience, arrived to a welcome at the front driveway, luggage was handled by the hotel staff and checkin was smooth and easy, The room was larger than expected, clean and comfortable
The Shower is larger than most and all amenities available, the location was excellent with only 15min to the airport

Our stay at Jony’s Beach Resort was amazing! The rooms were clean and comfortable. We were welcomed with fresh fruit smoothies and the warm smiles of the staff. They were very helpful with booking our airport transfers. The included breakfast was at Mayas across the street. It may not be a buffet but all the breakfast plates we ordered were amazing!!!! You can also borrow beach mats from the reception. And honestly, the hotel staff are 5 star! Always smiling and ready to help! Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

Location:
The hotel is located on S1, just a few hundred meters from the beach. It's about a 10-minute walk to D'Mall, and there's also a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel.
Service:
1. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful, and they offer luggage storage.
2. The security guards also help direct traffic, which is really necessary given how dangerous it can be.
3. Housekeeping only cleans the room when requested.
I super like tha service and Hospitality of this staff and my son was so happy about the pool
Very Good

Great
CChloe C. LinThe service was excellent, as expected of a COAST hotel. Every staff member was smiling and ready to assist every guest. They were responsive to requests and remembered guests' names, making guests feel respected. The room had everything they needed, but the facilities were quite old, the soundproofing was poor, and there was a lot of mold in the bathroom. I strongly suggest the hotel renovate it. It's about a five-minute walk to the beach.

GGuest UserGreat location, just a leisurely 10-minute walk to the beach, and plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby.
The service was outstanding. The staff were friendly and very responsive. Rooms were clean, and the bed was comfortable. Housekeeping was daily, and the linens were changed frequently (about 7 times in 10 days). They even wished my husband a happy birthday, which was a lovely touch. When I fell ill, they brought me ginger and honey tea.
The only thing missing was a balcony.
AAnonymous UserWe arrived around 1 PM and I already processed everything at the reception for our check-in. Since the check-in time was 2 PM, we waited at the lobby. However, even past 2 PM, their staff didn’t bother to approach or update us regarding our room assignments. I had to keep reminding them because we were already exhausted from traveling and hadn’t even eaten lunch yet.
I booked 4 rooms for our group of 12, including an 8-month-old baby and 2 toddlers, so I expected they would at least prioritize or assist us better. Unfortunately, if you don’t follow up with them, they won’t really initiate assistance. But instead of getting upset, I just chose to extend my patience that time and move on 🤣
The rooms are already old, which was still okay for us, but we noticed small cockroaches inside the room. I was also concerned about the CR because the floor was very slippery, and they only provided one floor rug.
On the positive side, the location is really good and convenient.

GGuest UserLocation was great and the hotel was clean. Staff was very friendly and nice always helped with whatever needed. The only thing we dis not like was the breakfast. Too small, not enough. Everything else was amazing. Big thanks to the staff, all were great people.
AAnonymous UserI am generally pleased and satisfied with my stay at Nigi Nigi Too. The staff and cleaners are friendly and attentive.
When booking at this hotel, here are a few things to keep in consider:
- The standard room doesn’t have a refrigerator. Instead, there’s a large refrigerator available for everyone to use on the first floor.
- Free drinking water is also available on the second floor for everyone to use.
- The hotel only provides mugs inside the room, so it’s a good idea to bring your own water container or thumbler.
- There’s no cabinet to store your clothes, but there’s a designated area where you can lay them out.
- Hangers are included in the room.
- I was provided with two bath towels.
- You can always request to clean your room during the makeup room hours.
- There’s no elevator, so if you’re staying on the third floor, you’ll have to take the stairs.
The room is well-equipped with a functional air conditioning system, a TV, a lampshade with a small table and two chairs, and a clean, unclogged bathroom. The bathroom also features a working water heater, a bidet, and a lavatory with complimentary dental kits. Additionally, they provide body wash and shampoo in the bathroom. The WIFI works perfecty fine too.
You can always request a beach towel daily. However, slippers are not provided during my stay. The breakfast is excellent. As a solo traveler, I booked a room that accommodates two people, but I was still able to receive two breakfast meals per day.
My room is located on the third floor, at the very end of the building in the resort. I highly recommend booking a room on the second floor. You’ll be conveniently close to the water dispenser and the first floor. Additionally, it’s just a minute’s walk to the beautiful white beach.
There’s a bar at the hotel entrance, so it might get quite noisy at night. The walkway to the end building is beautiful; it’s like walking through a garden.
The rates at trip.com is cheaper rather than booking direct at the hotel. Overall I am happy with my stay will sure keep this hotel in mind when i plan to go back to Boracay.
Thank you Nigi Nigi Too.
TTinTravelsThe staff were accommodating, and both the hotel and our room were clean and well-maintained. The location is very convenient—close to restaurants, shops, Iloilo Central Market, and the port.
My only concern, which I also noted in their feedback form, was the water. The shower water seemed salty and slightly sticky, almost like seawater. Aside from that, everything else about the stay was pleasant.
Breakfast is served plated and is quite filling, and the internet connection is reliable. Overall, it offers good value for money.

GGuest UserThe hotel left a very pleasant impression. I'd like to highlight its key advantages, which made our stay comfortable and delicious.
Pros (things that really impressed us):
1. Location: The hotel is in a very convenient location. What's also valuable is the peace and quiet. It's not as crowded as Station 1 or 2, but all amenities are easily accessible.
2. Room: We had a wonderful room with direct access to the pool. This is a huge plus: you can jump right in the water in the morning or sit by your mini-terrace in the evening. The room is clean and comfortable.
3. Staff: A special thank you to the hotel staff. They are very kind, conscientious, and do their job well. All requests were resolved quickly, with a smile and a genuine desire to help. You can feel their genuine care for their guests.
4. Cuisine/Breakfast: Breakfast was included in the price and was a real highlight of the morning. Very tasty, filling, and varied. But the biggest discovery was the vegetarian breakfast. It was so delicious and filling that I ordered only that for the last few days of my stay.
A major drawback / Beware (personal experience):
Be careful when leaving the hotel grounds. There are tour vendors (excursion vendors) standing near the hotel. Unfortunately, they're not very reliable. We encountered them actively pushing services, and then they might change the terms after the deal. I recommend either booking excursions in advance at trusted locations or ignoring the guys at the entrance to avoid ruining your mood.
Bottom Line:
Banana Bay Boracay is a real find. It offers the perfect balance of price, quality, peace and home comfort. The amazing staff and hearty vegetarian breakfasts made our stay almost perfect. I'd return without a second thought, but I'll be giving the vendors at the entrance a wide berth.
