"I recently stayed at La Carmela de Boracay and had a wonderful experience! The location is absolutely perfect—right along White Beach, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful shoreline and stunning sunsets anytime. Everything you need is within walking distance, including restaurants, shops, and activities. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Housekeeping did a great job every day, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, which was much appreciated after spending time under the sun."

"Really enjoyed my stay here. It's clean, cozy, and the breakfasts are delicious. They'll clean your room if you hang the sign. Beach towels are provided at reception. The island is quite small, and since the hotel is centrally located, you can walk to all the attractions."

"Pleasant hotel, not far from White Beach, just a 10-minute walk away. There are comfortable rooftop and poolside areas perfect for hanging out."

"Pros: 1. the staff come top of my list for their genuine care and attention 2. Rooms are good value 3. Food not bad 4. Entertainment is phenomenal, best band in the Philippines 5. Close to beach 6. Choice of drinks and great Happy Hour selection Cons: 1. Noisy neighbours occasionally 2. Cockerel screams early morning"

"Shore Time Hotel Boracay is often considered one of the best ”value-for-money” options in the highly coveted Station 1 area. While it isn’t a massive luxury resort, it excels at providing a clean, boutique experience for travelers who want to be in the quieter, more premium part of White Beach without the five-star price tag. Here is a comprehensive review based on current guest feedback and hotel features. 📍 Location: The Sweet Spot The hotel is located right along the main road of Station 1, which means: • Beach Access: You are literally 20–30 steps away from the finest white sand on the island. While it is not directly on the sand (you cross a small paved path/road), it feels like a beachfront property. • The Neighborhood: It is much quieter than Station 2 but still walkable (about 10 minutes) to D’Mall. You are also very close to iconic spots like Willy’s Rock and Jonah’s Fruit Shake. • Convenience: There is an Andok’s (famous local roasted chicken) and a 7-Eleven nearby, making late-night snacks very easy to find. 🛏️ Rooms & Amenities The rooms are known for being modern, minimalist, and exceptionally clean, though they vary in size. • Room Types: * Loft Rooms: Popular for groups or families; they utilize vertical space well. • Deluxe/Penthouse: Offer more space and, in some cases, partial views of the ocean. • Key Features: Strong AC (essential in Boracay), surprisingly fast Wi-Fi for the island, and very comfortable bedding. • Note on Accessibility: The hotel does not have an elevator. If you have mobility issues, be sure to request a lower-floor room. ⭐ The Highlights (Pros) • Exceptional Service: This is the most consistent praise in reviews. Guests frequently mention the ”warm welcome” with cold towels and drinks, and security guards who proactively help you cross the street to the beach. • Breakfast: Most bookings include a plated breakfast (Filipino or Continental) served at their partner restaurant, often praised for its quality and view. • Price Point: In an area (Station 1) dominated by expensive luxury hotels like Discovery Shores or Henann Prime, Shore Time offers a similar location for a fraction of the cost. ⚠️ Things to Consider (Cons) • Room Size: Some entry-level rooms (like the Pads or Lofts) can feel a bit snug if you have a lot of luggage. • Road Noise: Because it’s right on the main path, rooms facing the front may pick up some street noise during the day. • No Pool: Unlike the larger resorts, Shore Time does not have a swimming pool. However, with the best part of White Beach right outside, most guests don’t find this to be a dealbreaker. 🏆 Final Verdict Perfect for: Budget-conscious couples, small families, or solo travelers who prioritize a clean room and a prime Station 1 location over resort-style facilities like pools or gyms. Skip if: You want a ”secluded” resort experience or require an elevator and sprawling garden grounds. Would you like me to look up current room rates for your specific travel dates or check if they have any ongoing promos?"

"Its a nice affordable place to stay, not far to DMall. Nice simple breakfasts at Maya restaurant with a very beautiful view. For those who are interested in diving (diving is amazing here), there is a 5 star PADI diving center New Waves Diving 1 min walk from Jony’s"

"Convenient location, value for money, good amenities , free breakfast, but needs some little bit of renovation. Excellent staff, very accommodating and good services.. I would consider coming back in this hotel. Thanks Crown Regency Beach Resort for the good experience"

"The hotel is close to the beach but the road to the beach is disgusting . It is one of the worst roads to the beach I have ever seen during my travels around the world. The road to the beach looks like it was after the III world war. It is worse than fawela in Rio de Janeiro. I cannot believe that the Philippines people live like this. Ext to the best Beach in the world! The hotel architecture is nice, paint for white color. In my room number 110 everything is fine apart from two white paint touches that look new and are not composed with original paintings. The people who work in this hotel are nice and Friendly. Hotel staff service only breakfast in the morning after that it's not possible to buy any food only drink. Do not drink complimentary powder coffee inside the room because it tastes like xxx. Internet speed is acceptable for social media users. I can resend this hotel only if you are willing to taxi to the beach because the road to the beach and main road looks like a big trap"

"We just got back from the paradise island of Boracay! It's the best place on Earth! We spent a long time choosing a hotel and made the perfect choice with One Crescent Hotel 🥰👌. It's located in a quiet, cozy spot, surrounded by lots of trees and greenery. A charming path leads to the hotel, and I absolutely loved walking this route to the beach, past the church. The walk to the sea is very convenient, just 5 minutes, and the best part is that we arrived right at Boracay Island's main attraction – Willy's Rock. It's the most beautiful place on White Beach 😍👍, with the softest white sand and incredibly clear, blue sea ❤️. We really loved the hotel. It's a small, 4-story building, with the reception on the ground floor. It’s a quiet and cozy place with incredibly kind and attentive staff who always seem to know what guests need and provide it with maximum convenience and smiles! We especially grew fond of the hotel's administrator, a woman named Ruby. She is so attentive, caring, and kind; she even helped my husband organize my birthday, and it was the best day ever!!! This sweet lady is the heart and soul of this hotel, and our stay was made extra special because of her. We truly felt at home. Breakfasts at the hotel are à la carte, with Filipino, European, and continental options. The portions are generous, we were never hungry! You can also order breakfast to your room. The bed was comfortable, with good bedding and nice white towels (the beach towels were also very decent). There’s a balcony, a fridge, always hot water, a TV where you can connect your phone to watch whatever you want, and a smart speaker. You can also send clothes for laundry. The hotel provides beach mats, which is very convenient since there are hardly any sun loungers on the beach. We are really looking forward to returning and will definitely choose this cozy hotel again!!! I highly recommend it; it’s an excellent choice – great value for money, quality, location, and of course, the wonderful people who work there. We already miss you all so much! ❤️"

"The service has been commendable. Location is in Station 1, very convenient. However, we would like to suggest ensuring that all facilities are properly maintained and kept up to date. One of the air conditioning units in our room has been reported and repaired multiple times, but it still fails to cool the room adequately. As a temporary solution, we opted to borrow electric fans instead. 😅"
