We travelled with kids and Station 2 is a busy area and lots of loud music at night, this resort has a live band playing til 10pm but isn’t as obnoxious as other resorts nearby. The rooms are really nice and clean. The pool water is kind of chilly. There’s a lot of walkable restaurants and the resort allow access to the beach, I would stay here again!

This hotel is world class. The staff work very hard to keep everything nice. The breakfast is wonderful. It had a wide variety of items, something for everyone. The room was very clean. The location is excellent - easy access to the beach and everything you'd want to see in Boracay. The room was nice sized. The only two down points - there was a funky mildew smell when every time we first entered the room. I think with the high humidity and being next to the ocean this is nearly impossible to eliminate. The pool atrium does have some noise. It's managable but not silent either.

This is a beautiful hotel located in the heart of Boracay. I really enjoyed the vibe—it's relaxing, and the staff are friendly and very accommodating. However, for a resort that presents itself as 5-star, there are areas that need improvement. The gym is extremely small and has very basic equipment. For a luxury resort, I expected a more spacious and well-equipped fitness center, especially since some guests do want to stay active even while on vacation. Another major letdown was the breakfast buffet. The food selection was disappointing, with a heavy focus on pork products and very limited variety. During my 9-day stay, they served canned goods like tuna or sardines every morning—you could clearly tell they came straight from a can, which is unacceptable for a supposed 5-star establishment. The breakfast menu definitely needs a serious upgrade with more thoughtful and fresh options. Lunch and dinner buffets were better, but the preparation of the prime rib was very underwhelming. The chefs could benefit from more training in cooking high-quality meats—based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend ordering prime rib here. On the positive side, the hotel is clean, and I appreciated the housekeeping staff who provided fresh fruits and snacks daily. Their attention to detail and hospitality added a nice touch to the stay.

It was such a pleasure to spend 5 days at Mandarin Bay in Boracay. Everything new, pure clean, great food and the most friendly staff I have ever seen. If I would have to point something special about Mandarin Bay, that would be the service. Everyone is so detail oriented, helpful, nice and polite. We really felt special there. Totally recommended.

Booking shows breakfast included- it is NOT. Its $20/person. They will not accommodate this even though confirmation says otherwise. Check-in staff was extremely rude & belittling when we tried to provide our proof of breakfast included. The woman checking us in looked at the other front desk agent & told her to have the family checking in next to us explain to us breakfast is nit included because its not what they show. Seriously? We speak both English & Tagalog, we understand but its not what we reserved. Why would they involve other guests in our dispute?
