This was my first time in Boracay and i had to take a chance on the unknown when I booked this resort.We wanted a resort on the high class bracket and, on the whole,and looking at most of the others I was very pleased i picked this one.
Transit from the airport was quick and easy once someone contacted the hotel to say I was there,they had forgoten/missed picking me up.
We had booked a suite which consisted of a very clean and pleasent lounge opening onto the gardens,a fully fitted kitchen, clean and functional (but not luxourious) bathroom, and a a large and well appointed bedroom.
The rooms in fact was pretty much perfect but lacked the promised mini bar and the addition of a DVD player would be a nice touch. One air-con unit was very noisey but not enough to bother us.
The spacious grounds are very nice indeed,the two pools are very grand and very clean but drinks service to them was poor as was some of the food service, it took 30 mins for the kitchen to tell me my ordered burger at lunch time was out of stock!!!
The resort has recently changed owner ship,and it shows,much of the garden lighting was out of order as was the outdoor spa pool. There was just the feeling that it needed sprucing up and i think that is about to happen, A large area near the present resort is being developed into 300 more rooms,a good idea? im not sure the resorces at the present hotel can stand the increase.
The fantasic white sand beach is a five min walk out the back entrance and no problem to reach day or night.
Would i go again? perhaps, but maybe not when the extra 300 rooms are streaching the place to the limits.On this trip though,no real problems,we loved it,there are a few better but at a much higer price i suspect.
good clean rooms,great pools, friendly staff
poor restarunt, needs a face lift (but that is comming i think)
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : take a local sailing boat and crew to watch the sunset at sea,cheap,safe and a trip to remember

Security was very good, the walk to the beach was an easy one, the room was comfortable.
