Boracay Ocean Club Resort and Spa

Was a beautiful stay with a beautiful room

Location was great. Right on the beach. Staff was great. Getting there a challenge. Book someone to assist you. This is a family hotel. Not the best for singles or younger people. Lots of kids. Only 3 pool loungers but covered in families with lots of young kids. Morning buffet not great but gives you something to start the day. The room I booked wasn’t available the day I arrived so was put in a different room. They didn’t inform me- just wrote it on the paperwork they asked me to sign. I had to bring it up. So I had to change rooms on the 2nd day. But it still wasn’t ready after 3pm. They did allow a late checkout on my last day to compensate which I really appreciated.

Our very large, clean with a panoramic room on the top 3rd floor did face beach front with no disruption of trees blocking our view. The other ocean front building next to us was under construction as the rooms were completely gutted and the drilling noise was annoying while you were at the beach. Not what you want to hear when you arrive after you flew 18 hrs across the world. Although their posted signs said they were doing some maintenance it was major construction. Not sure when it will completed as I've only been home a few days. Rainy season is coming June. The third back building had a elevator, 6 floors while ours did not for seniors walking up three flights of stairs was exhausting. To look for another hotel and pay more money after I paid for the whole amount for two weeks we decided to stay. Our balcony was the largest I've ever seen and no 5* hotel would beat that. We didn't hear any noise in our room when we were in it. I did hear a rooster several times for hours while on the beach and other guests had their rooms facing the back properties and complained. One thing the hotel does not have road access to the property. Major inconvenience. If you get transportation through the hotel or other source you will either be dragging your luggage on sand for quite a distance 15 min walk or someone will put it all on a cart and push it to the nearest laneway then push it up quite a distance to the main road. Breakfast buffet was all Filipino waste of money.

Cleanliness

Clean and comfortable room. Great service. Great beach front location.
