Find 3-Star Hotels in Malay

"I chose this hotel hoping for a quiet night's sleep, but I barely slept at all. Roosters were crowing all night long from somewhere unclear. The soundproofing in the room was also very poor. Another downside is the uphill walk to the hotel, which would be difficult for older guests. Overall, it's not bad. There's a shared kitchen and a water cooler. Plus, if you're lucky, you might be greeted by a playful dog at reception. However, I wouldn't return. In this price range, you can find many rooms with better living conditions."

"Pros: This is a perfect hotel location. It had a store downstairs and just a few walk from the shore. Staff is friendly and polite. This is a recommended hotel for budget travelers and those who like to spend more on their food than hotel. Cons: Cleanliness needs improvement most especially in the bathroom and toilet seat/cover. Shower head needs cleaning. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place!"

"I had such a wonderful experience staying at this hotel in Boracay! The location is really convenient, especially since it’s close to many events, shops and great dining spots. Everything was just a short walk or ride away, which made our stay super easy and fun. The staff were all very kind and attentive, always making sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was relaxing and well-mainted. Overall, i highly recommend this place to anyone whos planning to visit Boracay and who wants a comfortable, hassle free and enjoyable stay. 😊"

"We truly enjoyed our stay! The staff were very accommodating and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The service was excellent and really stood out. While the food selection could be improved with more variety, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We still had a great time and everything else exceeded our expectations. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we’ll definitely be coming back!"

"My stay was honestly good, staffs are friendly and service was good and fast when it comes to requests. I just don't like other staffs who does not greet their guest while others are doing it. I am thankful that my request to have a room with strong internet connection was granted, but I guess it's still subject for availability. I just got disappointed that rooms doesn't have a Smart TV, thou they have cable but I didn't used it since I prefer Youtube on TV. They also don't have dental kit, good thing I brought my own and their swimming pools is up to 8pm only, which is too early. I may add to that they don't have a rooftop for view. Location is great since it's beachfront but it actually takes 15-20mins walk to D'Mall and other establishments, which is a hassle, I thought it's near food and entertainment places. Overall, La Carmela De Boracay is still recommended and a great pace to stay in Boracay, especially if you are on a budget, compared to the other hotels nearby with the same services."

"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?"

"Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel due to its proximity to the beach and all sorts of entertainment within walking distance. Pros: 1. All my requests regarding room issues were addressed. 2. My booking preferences were taken into account. 3. An affordable hotel right next to the beach. Cons: 1. It's a bit old. 2. Upon check-in, the safe, flashlight, Wi-Fi weren't working, and there was no water, but all issues were resolved within the day. 3. Lots of rules at check-in, but if you don't make a mess, you won't be penalized. 4. Very noisy due to the central street and constantly crowing roosters."

"Booked for 3 days and 2 nights. The room was clean and comfortable—definitely worth the price for the service and cleanliness. You won’t feel grossed out by the bathroom floor at all. Our host, Ate Lowi, was incredibly accommodating. She even offered us food and prayed for our safe travels. Out of all the hotels and transients we’ve stayed at, Ate Lowi was the only one who welcomed us with such warmth, like family. So go ahead and book your stay—it’s truly worth your money! Take care always, Ate Lowi! Until we meet again."

"I am generally pleased and satisfied with my stay at Nigi Nigi Too. The staff and cleaners are friendly and attentive. When booking at this hotel, here are a few things to keep in consider: - The standard room doesn’t have a refrigerator. Instead, there’s a large refrigerator available for everyone to use on the first floor. - Free drinking water is also available on the second floor for everyone to use. - The hotel only provides mugs inside the room, so it’s a good idea to bring your own water container or thumbler. - There’s no cabinet to store your clothes, but there’s a designated area where you can lay them out. - Hangers are included in the room. - I was provided with two bath towels. - You can always request to clean your room during the makeup room hours. - There’s no elevator, so if you’re staying on the third floor, you’ll have to take the stairs. The room is well-equipped with a functional air conditioning system, a TV, a lampshade with a small table and two chairs, and a clean, unclogged bathroom. The bathroom also features a working water heater, a bidet, and a lavatory with complimentary dental kits. Additionally, they provide body wash and shampoo in the bathroom. The WIFI works perfecty fine too. You can always request a beach towel daily. However, slippers are not provided during my stay. The breakfast is excellent. As a solo traveler, I booked a room that accommodates two people, but I was still able to receive two breakfast meals per day. My room is located on the third floor, at the very end of the building in the resort. I highly recommend booking a room on the second floor. You’ll be conveniently close to the water dispenser and the first floor. Additionally, it’s just a minute’s walk to the beautiful white beach. There’s a bar at the hotel entrance, so it might get quite noisy at night. The walkway to the end building is beautiful; it’s like walking through a garden. The rates at trip.com is cheaper rather than booking direct at the hotel. Overall I am happy with my stay will sure keep this hotel in mind when i plan to go back to Boracay. Thank you Nigi Nigi Too."

"On a positive note, the hotel and the surroundings were clean, and the staff welcomed us warmly upon arrival. The breakfast and food selection were also very good. However, we noticed that the coffee and hot chocolate were served cold, even though they were supposed to be hot. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with several amenities that were advertised but not available during our stay. The swimming pool was not functioning due to a defective filter. When we asked about canceling our booking or receiving a discount, we were told this was not possible because the booking was made online. As an alternative, we were offered access to the pool and open the bubbler. However, when we attempted to use it after our water and land activities, we were informed that the operator was no longer at the hotel and no staff member knew how to operate it at that time. On our second day, we also tried to use the free shuttle service advertised by the hotel, but we were told that the driver was on a day off. Sadly, we were unable to use several amenities that were promoted online, which significantly affected our overall experience. We hope this feedback helps improve services for future guests and that clearer information about amenity availability is provided."
