Malay Hotels with Bars

This hotel was wonderful! The location is excellent, food is great, staff very polite. It has a private area at the beach which is a big plus. Rooms are cozy and the bed is very comfortable. There are many restaurants and shops in the area, but they close around 10 or 11 pm so it’s perfect for relaxing and sleeping well. Small suggestions: in the “quiet areas” (the pool side) you could reinforce the rule of actually being quiet. People and kids screaming and randomly blasting music over the speakers is not the best environment for a nice and relaxing massage or a nap. The same goes for the beach beds, obviously there aren’t enough of them (as it’s a government rule, which is fine of course), however, almost every day of our stay one whole area was used for different events, so the staff would take the sun beds away around 4, when it’s the nicest weather and sunshine for chilling at the beach. Additionally, the furniture in the rooms is really heavy and it makes insane noise when moved; it would be a great improvement putting something on the furniture legs to soften the sound. These are just some small suggestions so that the place can be perfect! But I really enjoyed my stay and I would go back to this hotel!

Amenities were good, nice big pool, easy access to the room by the lift? Although is only one. Food and service too notch - plenty of options for the breakfast buffet (both sweet and savoury, Asian and Western food available). People were very friendly and helpful, especially Kent from the restaurant/pool bar and Micah from reception. The distance from the beach is about 10-15 minutes, trikes are available if needed. The transport service between the mainland and Boracay is very easy, convenient and price is competitive with the other providers (I chose their transport service as it is very very convenient - they have their own private port). 5 minutes distance from supermarket quite a big one up the hill. The best part is that the hotel has staff downstairs by the lift that offer a big list of activities, all the way from helicopter 🚁 island tour to snorkeling, gun shooting, islands hopping etc. - I used their service as the price is below the market by 200-300 PHP, highly recommended!

I rarely write such long reviews, but this hotel truly deserves it. Crimson is a wonderful hotel in every sense of the word. It's situated in a quiet, peaceful location that offers complete privacy and seclusion – exactly what we were looking for. The hotel has its own private beach, which is clean, well-maintained, and never overcrowded. It felt like we had stumbled upon our own little paradise. The restaurants deserve a special mention. The food was absolutely delicious at all dining venues – a huge variety and excellent quality. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner – every meal was a delight. But what truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. The team is incredibly attentive and warm. When we decided to extend our stay, we were pleasantly surprised with compliments and small gifts – we truly felt valued. And when my husband unfortunately fell ill during our trip, the staff went above and beyond to help – offering assistance, checking in on us, and making sure we had everything we needed. Their kindness and professionalism were astonishing. And the pillow – it was incredibly comfortable. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I slept so well. Every night of our stay, I had a deep, peaceful, perfect sleep – no neck pain and no tossing and turning. Crimson has spoiled all other hotels for me – in the best possible way. Thank you for everything. We will definitely be back.

So let's begin with the positives. The staff is excellent, beyond excellent they will go out of everything to make you feel accommodated. They are unbelievably attentive. Another positive aspect is its location which is literally right on the sand. Can't get much closer to the beach than this hotel. And did I mention that the staff was very accommodating? When you want to lounge on the beach, the staff will rush out immediately to position the lounges and put towels down. They truly work hard to assist your every need when you are on the beach. An improvement would be updated lounge chairs with cushions but you are not lounging on the sand unless you want to. So as I said, I want to start off with a positive but there are serious negatives about this hotel in fact to the point at which I would suggest booking a different hotel if at all possible. First on the list of negatives is that the food at the restaurant is less than mediocre. Yes you will get breakfast but in all honesty, you might just want to pass that up. Nothing is kept hot...nothing. Everything is served lukewarm or cold except for the eggs which they do make right away...the fresh cooked eggs is the only exception to luke-warm or in some cases even slightly undercooked food. However, what should be cold is never cold, for example even though the milk has a sign that says cold milk it is always room temperature as well as the juices. The cold milk is warm...always,,,,while the food that should be warm or hot is always cold or virtually well on its way to being cold. It's interesting that even though they have the small gas flame burners at the bottom of containers for food, they are never on. Additionally I would recommend that if you are not accustomed to luke-warm to cold Filipino style food again, you may want stay eat somewhere else because most of the food served is Filipino style and while Filipino food can be quite good, not here. Now for the accommodations. The rooms are at best motel style rooms with the AC blasting down on you constantly. Your only alternative is to turn the AC on and off throughout the night to get a break. The rooms themselves are rustic and extremely noisy because everything faces the courtyard and you have concrete surrounding you so it echoes in any conversation especially at night. Sound just echoes throughout the entire place. There is constant noise so bring your ear plugs. I will say, staff keeps everything very clean so no problems there at all. It's just that the entire facility is not well-designed or well maintained for most travelers' expectations. For example, The hot water in the shower it's turned on similar to a faucet bathtub style but the water literally trickles out (at least in my room). Fortunately you do get some hot water coming through the shower head and while it is barely enough to take a shower, it is not what you would expect at a hotel price. I selected this hotel because it has so many good reviews online and it has a lot of 10s out of10s. One site lists it as 4.9 out of 5, I thought that was great but after a few nights, I am convinced that these reviews are from the owners, owner friends or staff or perhaps all of them. It is completely beyond my imagination that this hotel can get those kinds of reviews especially as there are other hotels that are around to compare with. I have traveled a lot and this is probably not more then a five to six at most out of 10 and the only reason it's that high because of staff. Again....5.5 to 10 is my rating on this motel/hotel.

An Absolute Gem in Boracay! If you are planning a trip to Boracay, definitely check this out. Checks almost every single box for a perfect stay. The Room: Super affordable, nice, and beautifully maintained. Plus, the AC is ice-cold—which is exactly what you need after a long day at the beach! The Staff: The team here is SUPERB!! They are incredibly welcoming, helpful, and truly make you feel at home. Food & Amenities: The breakfast is good! it tastes great and gets the job done. The pool is also a very nice touch—there are a few broken tiles on the pool floor that could use a fix, but it's still a super lovely spot to hang out and relax. Whenever I return to Boracay, this will definitely be my go-to spot.

Our recent stay at the Hue Hotel was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish! 🏨 We truly enjoyed every moment, and it left a lasting impression on us.

It truly enhanced the overall ambiance of our visit. 💖 Beyond the exceptional service, the amenities offered by the Hue Hotel were simply fantastic. 🌟 We took full advantage of the facilities, which were all meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed for guest comfort. Whether it was the inviting pool area 🏊♀️ or the well-equipped fitness center 🏋️♀️, everything exceeded our expectations and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our vacation. The room we stayed in was a pristine sanctuary. ✨ It was spotlessly clean, with every surface gleaming and not a speck of dust in sight. The bedding was crisp and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after our daily explorations. 😴 The attention to detail in maintaining such a high standard of cleanliness truly made a difference and allowed us to fully relax and unwind in our private space.

We can't wait to return! 🥳

We had a pleasant stay at Savoy Hotel Boracay. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and located in a quieter part of Boracay, which was great when we wanted to relax away from the busy areas. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the facilities were well maintained. The pool area was nice, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and family-friendly. It may be a little farther from the main stations, but transportation is available and the quieter location was a plus for us. Overall, a good value for the price and we would consider staying here again.

This place offers an excellent service environment. You can stay within the resort 24/7 and enjoy the pool, massages, bar, restaurants, and a private beach without ever needing to leave. My favorite part was the breakfast; the staff were incredibly enthusiastic in explaining the meal options and thoughtfully asked what kind of coffee you'd like, offering a variety of choices. Since the beach is private, you can quietly enjoy the sunset without any disturbances. Plus, during happy hour, there's a buy-one-get-one-free drink promotion. The whole environment is very comfortable, perfect for families and travelers seeking a peaceful getaway.

We were very happy with our stay at Belmont Boracay. We arrived ahead of the checkin time and they gave us a complimentary early check-in. Sir Ivan and the rest of the staff was so accomodating. There is a free shuttle going to dmall but of course you need to schedule ahead of time. Breafast is good, I can say not a lot of choices but all are delicious. We had our dinner at the hotel and the food is sooo good. The location is far from the center but this is what we want not crowded and not so many people. There is also an atm in the lobby and 7eleven nearby. Overall, our stay here was great, recommended for families and for those who want serene and less crowded place.

Pros The hotel is in a great location. It is right on the beach. Restaurants, bars and stores were all right outside hotel. As you walk out of hotel, you will be bombarded with people selling you things: hair braiding, excursions, seafood, tattoos, bracelets, massages… etc but that’s everywhere on the beach. Hotel staff were great!  They surprised my son with a birthday song and a treat on his birthday. We didn’t even let them know it was his birthday, so they must have noticed on his passport. They took photos and videos of this nice surprise. Upon checkout, hotel also gave us personalize bracelets as thank you gifts. Swimming pool was nice and not too busy. Breakfast was not bad. Lots of options. Great breakfast view.  Cons Our room was really far. We booked for 4 but only had 2 towels in the room. Had to request for more towels as well as hand towels and floor towels as the room don’t have any. Water pressure was terrible. At some point, there was no water coming out of the faucet at all. We couldn’t shower or wash our hands. Staff were super accommodating and changed our room the next day. 2nd room was closer and much newer looking. Water pressure was good but now wifi was not working.
