Casa Pilar Hotel, Boracay

All in all, it wasn't exactly what I would have thought when I booked the room, but it was still nice. First I have to give credit to the staff for being very accommodating. I came in a little before 10am (well before the actual check-in time) and they offered me my room on the spot which was very considerate. The room was "okay", but I noticed the floors were a bit sandy, which made walking around in annoying without slippers. And the bathroom was well below my standards. It wasn't so much as it wasn't clean, but more on that it's not really well designed to look nice. The tiles, the sink, etc... all needed to be replace just to make it look nicer. The shower heater almost never worked. And ants are constantly on the bathroom sink (which seems to be common in many of Boracay's resorts according to other user reviews). ----- Contrary to what another user said, I thought the breakfast was more then adequate for something that's suppose to be free. I first tried the Filipino breakfast which consisted of everything that's included in a typical Filipino breakfast (down to have just enough garlic in the garlic fried rice) and was pretty tasty. I next tried the American breakfast which was also filling in taste and quantity. They served fried bacon, an egg cooked to my own choosing, toast with butter and jelly (grape I believe?) and orange juice. Again, it's not exactly a casino hotel's breakfast buffet, but more then enough for it's price tag. ----- The resort is a good first time experience but I don't believe I plan to stay there again.. not due to the Cons that I mentioned, but because want to try out other resorts in the area.

The personnel are friendly, and always ready to help you.

I spent 6 days a Casa Pilar and from the moment I checked in to the time I left I felt welcome and very comfortable. The staff are definitely an asset there. The room was clean and comfortable too and the surrounding gardens were always a pleasure to walk through. The location of my room was good too as it was a little set back off the beach and quiet. The breakfast however, was disappointing.

I stayed at this hotel based on a friend's recommendation. It's right in the center of everything and a close walk to great restaurants and activities. The actually facilities are really nice - - and speaking to the locals, they agree that Casa Pilar is a great place. The rooms are a good size and clean. The place would be great if they had wifi available and if they improved their free breakfast (only ate their once as there is much better food all over the island). Would be nice if they could also give out beach towels and have better beach chairs - - had to go elsewhere. Overall, a nice place for the price. Great customer service all around.

I so enjoyed Casa Pilar. I have stayed at the other end of White beach and i found the environments around Casa Pilar to be more enjoyable. It didn't seem as "busy" despite being right on the beach. The rooms are very comfortable and I believe the value was exceptional. The staff seemed on top of their game and improvements were still being made to the facility as crews worked to make the accommodation spiffy. I would definitely make Casa Pilar my choice for a return stay (my fourth) at Boracay.

We enjoyed our 15-days at the Casa Pilar. AT the end of our 15 days, we felt like family to the Casa Pilar staff the cuddly including Million, he is the cute dog who is full time habitue of the chair by the reception. During the stress and hectic of checking out, my husband forgot his medication at the hotel room fridge. Good reliable Casa Pilar found the medicines on time, contacted us at the Wharf and sent two of their personnel on the fast motorcycles and gave us back the medicines on time before we boarded our trigger boats which would bring us to Caticlan. I doubt it if we got such a personal treatment had we stayed in a bigger hotel.

Pretty basic rooms, but they were cleaned daily. However, the water stopped one day.

In front of the sea, it is located in the center of Beach Street, it is convenient to move to where both day and night. The response can be satisfied with the hotel employees. However, the shower water was difficult to wash the body very weak. Can not be rolled over the narrow bed. Midnight for the next outdoor karaoke shops, and bed and vibration to sound I loud karaoke. So, as a living space, not harder.

Breakfast in the room with a neat, well悪KUNAKU deal with staff. However, it was disappointing that there is no place for drying laundry.
