Barangay Yapak hotels & places to stay

This has been the best hotel we have been to up until now and we have only stayed in 5 stars before this. The Kids Club is just amazing. It's not like any other clubs in the other 5 star hotels, it is as huge as a gymnasium and next door is the Entertainment Center which has plenty plenty activities for adults and teens. The food was great but pricy but what do you expect, it's one of the best hotels in the world! Also I have never seen the such a great breakfast buffet ever, the french toast are to die for!!! They had different variety everyday, we stayed for a week. After being to Shangrila, we have decided to always stay at a Shangrila because they just spoil you too much, you can never go back to staying at the other 5 stars...They have free shuttle going to and back to white beach stations every hour on time but after going there I wasn't very impressed, I like our secluded beach areas better in front of the hotel, there is 1/2km stretch of beach on the left side of the hotel which is completely secluded. The water is so pleasant and clean, I usually never go in the ocean but her I was in it for an hour, love the soft waves... If you are going in rainy or low season, you will NOT want to stay anywhere else, the beach here is much better than the famous white beach, if you want to go there, just take the free shuttle, it only takes about 10 minutes to get there, you can spend the whole day there and most hotels don't have private beaches on the Stations because its not allowed.

We split our stay on Boracay between another establishment on station 2 and this one in order to experience both sides of the island. Station zero, as they have coined it, is a great place to stay unwind and relax after the hustle and bustle of station 2. They do have shuttles back and forth every hour and a half but we didn’t move from the hotel’s private beach for three days! It’s a very nice establishment with a variety of choices for meals. Better than most other places in the Philippines with regards to vegan/vegetarian options. Located in a very quiet area on the north end of the island next to two other fancy hotels, this allowed us have an even larger choice of restaurants once we had tried all of the items on their menu. They also have the best drinks we had in the Philippines and an all day happy hour! The staff were very professional helpful and sweet. Pickup and check in went really smoothly and They went above and beyond when we informed them it was as our honeymoon: they really made it extra special for us. Perhaps the only thing that was less than perfect there was the spa. My wife was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really inspire us.

Located up high in the mountains of Barangay Yapak, Alta Vista is far from the crowded White Beach Boracay. Good place for people who prefer privacy and serenity but definitely not for those who seek the noisy busy beach and nightlife. There is however a free hourly shuttle service from hotel to D' Mall in station 2 (and vice versa) to ferry guests who wanted to go shopping, merry making, restaurant & bar hopping, or simply relax at the famous white beach. They offer tour packages, shuttle service to any place in Boracay (not free) plus other activities. Alta Vista is a bit expensive considering that it is away from where the action is. The hotel is nestled in a vast property overlooking the Yapak Beach, Fairways and Blue Water, and other developments in nearby mountains hence the view is spectacular and breathtaking. It has a pool for kids and adults just below the reception lobby and restaurant. The room was clean, spacious, and cool. You can enjoy the view from the balcony or stretch yourself on a sofa watching NBA games on a wide screen TV. There was fridge, closet, dresser. Toilet is separate from the shower. Service staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good, buffet with choices of native dishes, bread, salads, fresh fruits, and drinks. Everything here though was expensive, even bottled water at the small store just beside the waiting shed for shuttle service. Too much.

We had MASSIVE issues booking this hotel with Agoda it took at least 12 attempts. It was one of the best deals so we really wanted it but it was a very frustrating first experience. We wanted it because it had free airport transfers & with 2 kids & 6’5 husband i didn’t want to ride in a trike or tuk tuk. I had seen that this hotel tries to add on expenses so I was prepared & they did. They tried to say the room booked was not for 2 children even though it clearly said it on the booking, they tried to make us upgrade! Then we could not get the ATM at the resort to work which was annoying as we had to take a shuttle to the mall which they organised for us which was really nice. I also tried multiple times to get a massage at the spa but could not which was frustrating as I spent so much time trying to get it. I ended up getting one outside the hotel which was AWESOME & I got to share it with my son. The food was AMAZING & the staff are some of the best I have encountered though so.......

It was an awesome stay! Oasis resort and staff made us feel we want to go back to Boracay. We stayed there for almost 3 nights. I have stayed before in some 4 star hotel, but this resort is very different. In terms of accomodation (we really had good time to relax!) , treatment (they gonna treat you like their family) , food (free breakfast) and the service and the hospitality of the owner and all the crew was super B! Plus factor was they gave us a lot of freebies! Not to mention that they are giving free snorkeling activity due to the Ilig-iligan beach is just 3 minutes away from the hotel. By the way the beach is three times better than the station 1,2,3 ! Because we really enjoyed the torquiose clear and clean water in Ilig-iligan plus it was not so crowded place. The best thing was it's like we're in a private beach and we don't need to spend a lot to enjoy our stay in Boracay. By the way that was our first time to go in Boracay which me and my Mom, even my boyfriend enjoyed a lot! I will probably choose Oasis everytime I would like to go back to the island! 😄

It is located in Barangay Yapak, at south-east of Boracay Island (10 to 15 minutes tricycle ride from Station 1, 2 and 3). It is for those who want a peaceful holiday. Access to two gorgeous beaches. One is Punta Bunga Beach (5 minutes walk from the hotel)- it is a private beach shared by few resorts like Shangrila and Argonauta. Going there is easy because it's down the hill :D Going back up to the hotel, uhm, f*** it, just stay at the beach LOL!!!. My legs ached haha!!! It's a good exercise though. The 2nd beach is Puka Shell Beach, a Puka Shell beach without puka shells LOL!!! Free shuttle service from the resort to Puka because it's 20 minutes to walk or depends on your age :D Also a gorgeous beach with quite strong waves. With few locals selling souvenirs and drinks. Few tourists too unlike in Station 1, 2 and 3. Had so much fun swimming there :)

I can’t get enough of this hotel! This was our first time in Boracay and we couldn’t have chosen a better hotel to stay in. From the entrance, to travelling to the city, and to their private beach, everything was smooth sailing. Don’t forget the scrumptious free breakfast. Everyday there’s a new menu. The staff is super nice and very friendly. Rooms are adequately spacious and clean. Overall rating for the hotel would be 10/5 stars if I could give it. Robbie, who was a staff/driver was very helpful. He told us that they accommodated transfers to their own private beach, to which we were not even aware of. Would definitely recommend this hotel for families and couples. Will, of course, book this place again in the future. It’s a quiet, secluded and security guarded place. Never felt more safe. Also, the mountains and beach backdrop is beautiful!

Great. Fantastic view, best in Boracy. The hotel is on a hilltop that overlooks white beach and sitting in the pool you have an amazing view. Room is large, new and very good. The downside is the location. My wife and I soon discovered that you need to go to Dmall to find decent food, shops, bars, etc. This hotel is a long way from D-mall. They do however provide a free shuttle bus that goes there and back every hour. In the morning all the guests go to dmall/white beach for the day, and return late afternoon/evening. The location is very secure, with only one way in to the hotel and everyone counted and checked when they go in and out. Possible one of the most secure hotels on the island. Its also very quiet and peaceful. The hotel manager is Korean, and most of the guests are Korean. They all seemed very polite and good neighbours, aside from one incident. One negative was a very arrogant Korean gentleman pushing my wife and I back so that Koreans could get on the shuttle bus before us. It left us both feeling a bit stunned and disappointed. The gentleman in question may have been the owner/manager, and he may have some racial prejudice against non-Koreans. However we had no other issues and the Philippine staff were all very professional, efficient and friendly.

It's my 5th time of visiting Boracay and my stay at Zoe Mei was awesome. I know some people want to go to Boracay for fun and party but what I like here in this property is that it is quiet, relaxing, has a really nice view of the sea from the verandas and the access to Ilig iligan Beach is awesome. Ilig Iligan beach has no crowds and beautiful. The staff are also very nice! They do their best to assist guests and assist me, specially when I lost my charger. They greet and smile at guests. Wifi at the ground floor is also fast. Super accomodating and nice staff and the best I've encountered so far in Boracay. Price is also very affordable with breakfast. Free shuttle to CityMall. Will go back here if I visit Boracay again!

We enjoyed our stay. Staff were awesome and helpful, The manager was always onsite overlooking the whole operation and asking what could be improved. Huge plus! The location was good and bad. Away from traffic noise and on top of a hill overlooking the whole Yapak, Although there was an hourly shuttle, it was a bit of a hassle to get a taxi to drive up the hill as some of them were electric or too weak of an engine to drive up the steep him all the way to the front of the hotel. Other than that we really liked the whole setting and will definitely return.

I believe you won't be able to get an awesome view with their rate. As well as the complete kitchen equipment is a big plus for us. The hotel-resort passes as a four to five star resort. The owner of this hotel unit is so accommodating as well as the caretakers. Superb! Highly recommended for a group and those who want tranquil environment. Awesome infinity pool. Super big sized serving on the hotel restaurant. Will surely book again on this unit next time I will be in Bora.
