Boutique Hotels in Aklan

"The room pillows have a bad smell and we ask to change it but still smell bad. The facilities are nice and location is convenient. Theres a lot of F&B options in pool bar but we were disappointed in the breakfast buffet it has very minimum food choices and it takes time for them to refill the food displays and plates and glasses in the buffet are not washed well, I thought it was just one day but our whole stay (5d4n) i noticed that it was not cleaned well"

"Here’s a polished, vivid sample you can use to describe a great experience at Fairways & Bluewater Boracay—perfect for reviews, social posts, or feedback: --- 🌴 Sample of a Great Experience at Fairways & Bluewater Boracay My stay at Fairways & Bluewater Boracay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed with warm smiles and efficient service. The resort itself is massive, beautifully maintained, and offers a sense of privacy you don’t usually get on the island. 🌊 What Made the Experience Amazing - Private White Beach: The resort’s exclusive beach was peaceful, clean, and perfect for relaxing without the usual Boracay crowds. The water was crystal clear and ideal for swimming. - Stunning Pools: Each pool had its own vibe, but the Skydeck and Monterey pools were my favorites—amazing views, great ambiance, and plenty of space to unwind. - Comfortable Rooms: My room was spacious, spotless, and well-designed, with a balcony overlooking the lush greenery. Housekeeping was consistent and attentive. - Delicious Food: Whether it was breakfast at Veranda or drinks by the pool, the food and beverages were consistently good. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection and fresh options every day. - Top‑notch Service: Every staff member I interacted with was courteous and helpful. They assisted with shuttles, recommendations, and anything I needed throughout my stay. - Convenient Shuttle System: Getting around the resort was easy thanks to the frequent shuttle service. Despite the size of the property, everything felt accessible. 🌅 Overall Impression Fairways & Bluewater gave me the perfect balance of relaxation, comfort, and luxury. It felt like a peaceful sanctuary within Boracay—ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy the island while still having a quiet, exclusive place to retreat to. I left feeling refreshed and already excited to return."

"Overall a disappointing stay with Crimson. It started off bad and really never improved sadly. Our flight into Caticlan was delayed 5 hours, arriving at 19:30. I was in communication with Crimson throughout the delay updating them on our progress and estimated arrival time. They had warned me that they don’t organise transfers after 8pm. However, upon arrival they had left us to transit to the hotel via a third party provider. This provider was fine, and did their job, but it was a transfer that involved stopping at 3 other hotels - very much not the private 5 star experience we had been promised, taking 1 hour and a half. The fact they did not wait until 8pm, when other resorts were prepared and waiting, was a big disappointment. The transfer was eventually provided for free after our experience - which to be honest is the bare minimum. It’s insane I even had to pay for the transfer considering most 5 star hotels would provide this for free. Whilst the rooms were fine, the service was extremely disappointing throughout. Check-in took ages, and for some reason there is no aircon in anywhere outside the restaurants and rooms, so we were stuck sweating after an 8 hour journey whilst waiting the 30 minutes to check in. Additionally, every single request we made was either ignored or took ages. I had requested decorations in the room to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, but received nothing. I managed to get things organised whilst there, but after requesting matches to light a candle, these never arrived. Add on the fact we would have to request water multiple times before any showed up and it was all just very frustrating. We had booked a sea view room, but were unable to fully enjoy it as it was located directly in front of the infinity pool, with guests able to see directly into the privacy of our bedroom due to the lack of any noticeable tinting on the windows. The rooms were also not soundproofed, and we had to wake up early every day to the sounds of screaming children using the pool in front of our room. No amenities were on offer - no access to water bottles without requesting or paying, no access to coffee without paying, no welcome or departure drinks, no free water on the beach (which is seriously just dangerous). Crimson certainly has a 5 star beach and sea. The access to the beach is superb and the sand and sea were typically excellent, but it’s not as if Crimson has control over these things. In fact despite the environmental fee, I regularly saw some litter in the sea and on the beach. It felt very budget in the way they treat you. There are shuttles to the centre but these run almost every 3 hours and are often packed, offered on a first come first serve basis. Every little thing is charged too. For a check out at 12pm instead of 11am, it’s 2000PHP. There’s no way to charge anything to rooms to pay upon check out (like every other hotel) if you do not have a credit card. Debit cards are no good for the deposit apparently. We just stayed at Piece Lio in El Nido, which was far far far superior. It’s a real shame because Crimson does not do service to a terrific sea and stunning location. It may be the most modern 5 star hotel on the island but honestly just pay the extra and go to the Shangri-La. It’s almost as if they knew how bad it was. We weren’t even asked how our stay was upon checking out, as if they were dreading the answer. It felt like an American diner leaving, where they just wanted us out the room as quickly as possible to make space for their next cash cow. We even arrived at the airport 3 hours early for a domestic flight for some reason."

"Amazing service at this hotel, the staff go above and beyond at every step to help you, and they were extremely polite and friendly the whole stay. The rooms were light and spacious, but I would recommend garden view over the pool view because of a loud fire show that happens poolside every evening at around 8pm. The hotel undersold it's proximity to the beach, it is less than 5 minutes from hotel to the water, and they have a great towel system where you can borrow from the hotel and take it with you. They also have sunbeds on the beach reserved just for hotel guests. The hotel itself has 4 pools, 2 of which are connected to rooms. One pool has the bar attached, and the final pool at the end closest to the beach is quiet (and with less children!) Plenty of sunbeds available with comfortable mats, tables, and umbrellas. The only part of the stay that was underwhelming was the food - the area that the hotel has made for the restaurant is open-air, and so the pastries were crawling with flies every morning. It was also very busy every day due to limited space, and there weren't a lot of options."

"The stay has been delayed for a month due to typhoon last September. And when we finally arrived in the hotel, the front office team was so accommodating, the staffs are friendly, the location is very accessible, food was very nice.. all in all, the stay was fantastic, the purpose of taking a vacation was delightful"

"I recently stayed at Henann Palm Boracay and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive. The check-in process was quick and smooth. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. Housekeeping did a great job each day, and everything was kept in perfect condition. The location was ideal—close to major attractions and restaurants, but still quiet enough for a restful night’s sleep. I also appreciated the on-site pool and restaurant which added to the overall comfort and convenience of the stay. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and the service was always friendly and efficient. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!"

"Fantastic location at station 1 and a good hotel. We would not class it as a five star hotel, more like a four star. We would not recommend the breakfasts, plenty of better places closer, it is not a buffet style and the food presentation can be poor. No hot water during our whole visit (warm at best). The staff at times are friendly but not as good as other five star hotels that we have stopped in. The spa treatments were very good, the gym was basic and had poor lighting."

"I enjoyed my stay in Henann Regency Resort and Spa. Hassle free from the airport to hotel service. The employees are very friendly and accommodating. Their buffet was so good as well. I highly recommend this hotel when going to Boracay. See you again on Jan 2026!"

"Had to extend our stay due to typhoon. They allowed us to stay in same rooms, so we didn’t have any hassle. It was nice affordable hotel but with really nice breakfast buffet."

"The hotel is nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful but the room is too small and the air-conditioning wasn't functioning properly. I loved the fact that our room had a pleasant view of the pool and the nearest port has this exquisite rock."
