What guests think

The Tides Hotel Boracay earns strong praise for its friendly, professional staff and a prime D’Mall location near the beach, while recurring gripes include hard beds and policies adding costs for extra guests or towels.

Guests frequently enjoy the rooftop pool and bar with live music, and a few note a decent gym. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with reports of odors, pests, drainage problems, and worn fixtures alongside comments about tidy rooms. Dining feedback is mixed: some praise the food and breakfast, while others find breakfast underwhelming. Best for travelers who want a central, social hub more than a plush, quiet retreat.

Great hotel right smack in the middle of the D’Mall. Fabulous facilities and location. All day menu. Awesome rooftop pool with evening buffet dinner and live music. Very helpful and professional staff. 2 minutes walk to the beach and Surrounded by a hundreds of restaurants, clothing shops, ice cream parlours and bars. 3 minutes walk to the main road for a E-tricycle or other transport. Reasonable price. Highly recommend and Would definitely stay here again

This property is in a great location in D’mall. The gym is very nice and so is the pool. I don’t recommend the breakfast there. You can eat somewhere nearby with better food options. The staff is very nice. I did the 1.5 hour massage and it was heavenly! The pedicure is not a spa pedicure so don’t expect a lot for 950 PhP. Overall, I enjoyed staying here.

First the staff was incredible every single interaction i had was welcoming and professional. Vincci was especially helpful and knowledgeable about the things Borocay had to offer that was in our interests. Now for the hotel. It needs a lot of work, I mean a whole lot. A lot things from floors, walls, trim, fixtures, needs a lot of attention. Even in the restaurant upstairs the floors are in bad condition and needs to be replaced. Cosmetics issues everywhere and it makes the hotel look really bad. Not sure if it is the owners just being cheap and not caring but with a staff life that the hotel should match their energy. They take pride in their job and the owners should take pride in their investment. Also the security that stands all day should have a rubber mat to stand on during their long hours. I was told they plan to install elevators in the future and that will help them a lot but again the hotel needs a lot of TLC to give it a better appearance. The hotel is in a great location next to the mall, beach, and all types of restaurants. I hope they fix up this hotel and having it looking nice and not neglected.

We had an amazing stay there. The only concern we had was the sewage smell in our room the whole time we stayed there. But other than that, it was all worth it! The staff are friendly, and when you need help, they come right away. Location-wise amazing! It's within walking distance to the shopping places and to the beach. Overall very satisfied and looking forward to coming back.

First room given to us had a big roach greeting us when we opened the toilet door. That alone was already enough to make hubby want to pack up and move to another hotel but instead i requested for a room change thinkin maybe it's not all that bad. We were upgraded to a premier room on the 2nd level. Big spacious room. Unfortunately, that's the only good thing about it. The aircon was dripping, rainshower head was rusty, bed mattress was so hard, the sink's drain within the room have a bad cockroach smell emanating from it and the tv counter top have ants crawling all over. Location was the only good thing of this hotel as it is right inside dmall. Plenty of food choices around the area and shopping too.

We ended up leaving after 1 night. They charged us an extra $100 for a room that fit 4 people yet insisted that our kids stayed free. Therefore, our kids were not entitled to towels. We would have had to of paid for a towel (pool and bath) for each of them every day. The condition of the room was extremely run down, not at all what is represented in the pictures. The shower wouldn’t drain so we could only shower for 2 minutes at a time. We brought out concerns to them and they did nothing about it. When we decided to leave early, the my refused to refund the remaining nights of our stay. All in all, a very stingy property that does not advertise truthfully. Would not recommend staying here.

do not understand the high rating for this hotel. I paid for deluxe room, no view and could not even open the curtain because they was a constant flow of people walking right past the sliding door. . The bed was hard as a rock… don’t they realize most western travelers want at least medium firm or softer? There was a horrible band played every night on the rooftop cranked up, way too loud playing boring classic rock .impossible to escape the sound.

We booked thru Expedia 3 rooms Sept 20-22, 2025. Paid for 3 rooms with 2 queen beds . At Expedia it advertised it sleeps 4 but when we arrived at the facility I was told the rate covers only 2 person. I was very disappointed with my experience as I had already paid ahead of time. My family and I were left waiting in the lobby for hours, and no one from the staff checked in on us during that time until we decided to pay. While the staff was friendly, it didn’t make up for the poor handling of our situation. In the end, we were told we had to pay extra per person. So, if you're traveling with a large group, I would not recommend staying here you’ll likely end up paying much more than expected.

Escolhemos este hotel em Boracay principalmente pela localização, no centrinho da Station 2, o que realmente é um ponto positivo. Porém, nossa experiência foi extremamente grave. Estamos em lua de mel e quase vivemos uma tragédia dentro do hotel. Minha esposa estava tomando banho quando sofreu um choque elétrico muito forte, dos pés à cabeça, dentro do banheiro. Ela ficou em estado de choque, chorou muito e ficou extremamente assustada. No banheiro existe uma barra/calha metálica no chão, exatamente na divisão do box (visível na foto). Foi desse metal no piso que saíam faíscas, além de ser possível ouvir o som da eletricidade passando. Isso aconteceu com o chão molhado, e minha esposa estava descalça, o que torna a situação ainda mais perigosa. É absolutamente inaceitável que exista corrente elétrica em uma área onde hóspedes tomam banho, estando molhados, descalços e vulneráveis. Isso representa um risco real de morte. A única medida tomada pelo hotel foi nos trocar de quarto, sem qualquer explicação técnica, vistoria visível ou demonstração proporcional à gravidade do ocorrido. Fica aqui um alerta muito sério para outros hóspedes: não se trata de um simples problema, mas de uma falha grave de segurança que precisa ser corrigida imediatamente antes que algo ainda pior aconteça.

Location is very accessible to the shops and restaurants as the hotel entrance is right within the D’Mall area. There’s no roadside entrance though so you’ll have to walk here from the main road or from the side streets where cars are allowed in. But this was not a problem for us as we were traveling light and stayed only a couple of nights.

The hotel is modern. They provided toiletries and even when we asked for resupplies. Staff were nice and helpful. The moment we came to the room it was warm. Well, they should have at least turn the aircon on when they have guests coming but they did not. We had to call the receptionist and we have to give extra 200 pesos for extra key to be left in the room so the aircon will stay on. That 200 pesos will be given back on the time of departure which is good. Their breakfast was plated. Wish they have dried fish and pancit bihon in their breakfast. We surely be back in this hotel.
