3-Star Hotels in Boracay Island

My third time going to Boracay, my first time was in Fairways & Bluewater Resorts, however it was too far, 2nd time we stayed in Villa De Oro, and for my third time, we stayed here at La Carmela. Our stay here at La Carmela was a clutch decision but a truly memorable one. We celebrated New Year's Eve 2022 at La Carmela. We stayed there for 9 nights. But I must say, some employees are not that dedicated and passionate with what they do, except for the security personnel who were all very accommodating. I myself, I am a front office agent, I can't even feel the sincerity with the service they provide. I was actually expecting a lot from La Carmela since Mr. Boy Abunda has always been promoting this resort during all his shows, in addition to that, so many celebrities and even influencers have stayed in La Carmela and seemed to like their services. But, to my dismay, all my expectation weren't met, unfortunately. Food is average, our daily breakfast was always served ice cold, pool is massive and beautiful, location is priceless since it's near the beach and just near to everything else where. I just wished they can step up their services including personal services to their guests, most especially that there are already a lot of hotels booming as their competitors. I know La Carmela has been there for countless years already, so why not make their legacy a good one. Overall, our room was okay, we waited for so long for our MUR, plus the ac in my mother's room is not functioning well. Would love to consider this hotel once more as it is perfect for budget travelers like me. stayed for 9 nights with my partner, mother, and my sister, and we only paid PHP 25k for everything including their plated breakfast. I hope you consider all the points I have mentioned, See you soon, La Carmela. :)

The staff are very polite and helpful ! Although the hotel is a bit old and you can hear people speaking in the room, the hotel swimming pool is great at the 7/F. Location 100/100! Dear to D mall and along the main road of Boracay! If you are finding a bargaining hotel with average experience go to Lime Hotel!

Alta Vista is our go to place at Boracay! We’ve been to boracay 4x and we always love staying at Alta Vista!!! We tried staying at other hotels in between but Alta Vista outstands the hospitality of all the other hotels we’ve stayed in. The bed was so comfortable that it’s hard to get out! The aircon was so cold that it refreshes us whenever we came back from the beach. The room was always clean and tidy each and every visit! The jacuzzi pool was so relaxing after a long day from the beach! Kindly look for Rochel, Ike, Jhona, Joy as they are the warmiest people who’ll be there to assist you! For our shuttle service Herbert, Ray, Genesis and Acer are always on the go whenever we needed a ride! We thought we love Boracay but our heart goes to Alta Vista! We’re surely to come back soon! Thank you Alta Vista! ❤️

Good spacious room and spacious bathroom. Awesome location beach front located at station 3 plenty of food options, they offer buffet at 299 pesos mostly local crowd, walking distance to 7/11 and other convenient stores. Only thing is there is a loud music band at the hangover food festival on the left side of the hotel which plays music till midnight this wouldn’t be a problem if you enjoy music. 3rd floor on the left side of the hotel doesn’t have a good or pleasant view due to abandon side or side under construction. All rooms seems to have a balconies. Worth the money & awesome and friendly hotel staff

We stayed here with my family and my brother's family from March 29, 2003 to April 2, 2003. To tell you quite frankly - as the tile of this review goes - our stay was really a pleasant surprise as after booking, I read up on reviews which were really not that good which made me think if we had made the right decision in booking accommodations from this hotel. Our experience was quite the opposite: the road to the hotel from the jetty port (which according to a review I read was muddy) but no longer was when we went there. The hotel itself, when we arrived, as far as I am concerned looked great and was well maintained. The front desk staff were quite accommodating and cheerful and ably assisted us in our checking in to our rooms. We booked 3 rooms and checking in was a breeze. The hotel staff service was excellent. The rooms that we checked in to were great but it would have been better if it had a view but this is just my preference and does not in any way diminish our experience. The restaurant in the hotel was oftentimes good but can leave you wanting for more. This is a beach front hotel but there was a only a short stretch of sand when we stayed there. We were a bit let down I suppose but this was cleared when one of the locals clarified that it was high tide season during this time was being washed away to sea. To see a wide stretch of sand, the best time to here would be around September, but if the lack of a decent beachfront is no issue to you then anytime except the rainy season would be a good time to visit and you can easily reach Station 1 via a 5-10 minute walk. Since this hotel is on the western side of of the island, I can guarantee that you would experience sunsets like no other. If you prefer the peace and quiet of a homey ambience, nestled in a small nook at the far end of the western side of the island, then this hotel is perfect for you - alone or with your family and friends.

We were given a free upgrade from Shore time hotel annex station 2 to shore time hotel station 1 because the twin room is no longer available in the annex branch. We were transfered to Station 1 Shore Time Hotel the same day we arrived. The room is big. The airconditioner worked well. WIFI is not consistent. Hot shower was not working. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Free use of beach towels. I love the welcome drinks. For the price, it was perfect. It was located near restaurants. Will stay here again next time! Highly recommended!

The place is good and very convenient. Clean and quiet place to stay. Meals are good also and hotel staffs are nice. Our stay was indeed for family or friend's vacation. They accept request like additional sheets, towels or toiletries. Thank you Rob and Fred's.

The room we got was room for 2 and all the essentials were provided. There was a free breakfast included which is a plus. It:s just sad that we didn't have the time to explore the island as much because there was a low pressure area that time so mostly we stayed at the hotel. That time, the wifi wasn't working and TV channel only shows Chinese channels and no local channel. I don't know, maybe it's because of the weather. But I would still recommend the place. It's located at D Mall and few minutes away from the beach.

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. I would like to commend the staff, they are helpful, friendly and most of all have given us a delightful service.  The garden area serves as a lounge area and smoking area as well.  Pros:  quite and far from the crowd, best for relaxation and watching the day go by.  Near the beach, is just a 3 to 5-minute walk to the beach.  Nearby restaurants, tapsilog eatery, bakery and sari-sari store.  Very friendly staff, super helpful.  Free use of beach towels and beach mats placed in a handy bag.  Shower area in the garden for use after swimming on the beach. Designated smoking area. The room veranda can also be used as a smoking area.  Decent free breakfast.  Quite and far from the big crowd. You can sleep soundly without the noise of vehicles.  10 to 15 minutes walk to small or 5 minutes via e trike.  Cons: No direct driveway to the hotel, and the alley is too narrow for an e-trike to pass. Tips: When riding e trike you can say individual and pay for 10 to 15 pesos per person or rent it at 100 or 150 depending on the area (regardless of the number of passengers).

We enjoyed our stay at the Tides Hotel in Boracay, as everything was easily accessible, and the staff were polite and friendly. I appreciate the promptness and courtesy of the Front Desk staff during our early morning checkout on March 5. They accommodated us in the transport service to the port, he obtained our tickets expeditiously, and accompanied us to Caticlan. Unfortunately, I did not get the guest service agent’s name who assisted us, but he did an excellent job. We hope to return one day, and we loved our room at number 206, the wifi connection was good, enjoyed our welcome drinks and the complimentary cocktails at the roof deck bar.
