Hotels near Balabag, Boracay

"Excellent 5-star hotel, Filipino style. It's very authentic and charming, with access to two neighboring luxury hotels. The staff are incredibly hardworking. They aren't experts at making cocktails, but if you explain what you want, they'll make it as requested. The spirits are good, and so are the bottled wines. There are many different romantic setups and similar options on the beach. The private beach is very clean, and the scenery and sea are magical. Breakfast is quite good, but otherwise, like everywhere else on this island, they don't seem to know how to cook. We tried eating at the Shangri-La and the hotel next door, and everywhere it felt like the chef wouldn't even eat their own food; I won't even bother describing it, everything was off. You really need to find a place with good food right away, otherwise you risk eating only bread rolls! 😁 But the coffee is very good there, and you can take it to go from breakfast. The staff are very friendly. As for cons, there's no late check-out. We were offered a maximum check-out at 2 PM for an extra charge, and after that, only booking for a full day was an option."

"This was my second time here, and from the moment I landed and found the staff, I didn't have to handle my luggage at all, even for my departure – it was absolutely fantastic. However, there were some things I wasn't happy with. On the first day, they gave me a room at the very end of the hall, and it had a strange smell. I couldn't accept it, especially since I paid quite a bit for a beach view room. After a long discussion, they could only offer a room with a better view for the next day. Because of the smell, I had to downgrade to a clean transitional room, but the hotel refused to refund the price difference. Ultimately, Trip.com covered the difference, which just goes to show how reliable Trip.com is and how proactively they communicate with hotels, even if the final outcome wasn't perfect. The next day, the view was decent. If you're choosing a beach room, rooms 71-75 have better views, while 77 is an end room next to staff quarters and is very, very poor. As for breakfast, it's significantly worse than when I visited in 2023. There's very little variety, just enough to fill you up, and surprisingly, no pineapple or banana juice. Next time I go to Boracay, I'll definitely hesitate to choose this place again because of the end-room issue. Photo 1 is the excellent pickup service, Photo 2 is the transitional garden-view room. Photo 3 is the balcony view from the end room, Photo 4 is the room I switched to on the second day."

"Right in front of the beach once you step out of the hotel! What a fantastic location! Plus, with a private beach, I could relax and enjoy the ocean view. There are also two types of pools, and the rooftop pool has a bar, which creates a great atmosphere! The mango parfait I had at the rooftop pool bar was the best mango dessert I've had on Boracay Island! You can get a parfait with plenty of mangoes for about 750 yen! I stayed for 3 nights, and the breakfast buffet menu changed every day, which was enjoyable. The variety and quality of each dish were decent. While the air conditioning in the room was good, the toilet had a sewage smell, which was unpleasant. The shower water never got hot, staying lukewarm the whole time, and the water pressure was very weak. The hotel staff were wonderful, treating me kindly and politely."

"We enjoyed our stay in this hotel. We were with family and friends. The room was nice, clean and just a few steps to the beach. Breakfast was also good. Staff were very polite and accommodating. Over all stay is good. We will definitely recommend this hotel."

"We had a fantastic stay at White Coral Hotel! It’s just a short walk from Station 1, which we personally think has the best sand compared to Stations 2 and 3. Ate Josephine was very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, & clean. There are also plenty of nearby stores and cafes, making everything very convenient. We’ll definitely be back! We were so excited when we arrived that we forgot to take photos of the room, but it looked exactly like the photos in the listing!"

"IIt was a wonderful experience on all fronts. Upon arriving at the hotel, an employee offered us cold towels to wipe of the sweat and humidity of the hot morning, later providing us with glasses of icy pineapple juice. They asked for a 5000PHP deposit upon check in, which they gave back once we checked out. The room was gorgeous, extremely clean, and the AC was powerful and very useful considering the hot and humid Boracay weather. We had breakfast included in our package and it was incredibly good every single morning (breakfast was served from 6AM to 10AM).  They provide five breakfast choices: Filipino, Western, Pancakes or Waffles, Eggs Benedict, and omelette. All dishes could be served accompanied either with house cured bacon or sausage; for what concerns the drink choices we could choose between coffee, milk and orange juice. Everyday housekeeping cleaned the room excellently and redid the bed, changing the sheets if we required it. The hotel provided us with beach/swimming pool towels if we asked for them. Moreover, the hotel provides for multiple services and activities if required such as spa treatments and island hopping. We tried both of them and they were excellent and cheap all considering. We paid around 20 euros for the island hopping activities, visiting Puka beach, Crystal Cove Island and snorkeling with fishes in a gorgeous marine environment. Lunch was also included in the package and we ate in a resort in Mactan Island called Mega Parau (the resort offered buffet and everything was tasty and good).  We tried the spa as well, and I got an Hilot Massage and a Foot massage/Reflexology: both were insanely good and relaxing, and I felt like it drained all the stress and tension I had in my body. They last 1 hour each. Both massages cost me a total of 1700PHP (around 25 euros), which is cheap considering the service. One day we had a problem with the AC because it dripped water on the floor and they replaced it in the span of an hour with a new one, once again proving to be professionals. They also called a tuk tuk (the common public transportation within the island) when we needed it to reach a dmall.  They suggested us places where to eat and gave us advices when needed, all considering they were extremely kind and were proactive in solving problems, offering their help with everything. 10/10 would recommend. If you’re unsure on where to stay, Ondus Resort is the one you’re looking for."

"The resort’s excellent location is the main reason I decided to book my stay here again. My second reason is the cleanliness of the rooms, followed by the delicious daily buffet breakfast. My 4-year-old grandson especially enjoyed playing in the pool and spent time there almost every day. The nightly fire dance performances also made our stay even more enjoyable and memorable. One thing I would like to highlight is the efficiency and helpfulness of the front desk staff. I accidentally left a backpack behind, and they managed to arrange for them to be delivered to Caticlan Airport just in time for my flight. I truly appreciate their quick response and excellent service. Thank you so much to the front desk staff and the driver for going the extra mile to help us. Your assistance made a big difference and is greatly appreciated!"

"A very nice hotel in which you won’t miss anything. friendly and supportive staff nice swimming pool pools are well functioning gym and spacious rooms. A little downside was that there was a rooster close to the hotel that woke me up every night; it’s not particularly the hotel’s fault but it’s really annoying. we stayed in the annex. maybe the main building doesn’t have this problem."

"The Signature Suite at Discovery Suites Boracay exceeded all my expectations. The suite was incredibly spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a luxurious home away from home. Every detail — from the comfortable bed and stylish interiors to the breathtaking ocean views — created a truly relaxing and unforgettable experience. What I loved most was the perfect balance of luxury and comfort. The private atmosphere, modern amenities, and impeccable cleanliness made our stay even more enjoyable. Waking up to the beautiful scenery and ending the day in such a peaceful and sophisticated suite was absolutely priceless. The staff also deserve special recognition for their exceptional hospitality. They were attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I highly recommend the Signature Suite at Discovery Suites Boracay for anyone looking for a premium island escape. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and create unforgettable memories in Boracay."
