Patio Pacific Boracay
I stayed at this resort back in 2015 and decided to book it again after a decade—glad I did! The property has evolved with new rooms added to accommodate more guests, and the dining area is now air-conditioned, making meals much more comfortable. The only hiccup was a brief power outage one morning that required some time to restore electricity via the backup generator, which temporarily affected water pressure. However, this was an extremely rare occurrence and didn’t detract from the overall experience. The staff remain attentive, the ambiance is serene, and the location is perfect for relaxation. Despite the minor setback, I still give this resort a full five-star rating—highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway on Boracay.

The pristine white sand beach is literally across the road — just step outside and you’re on the sand, with the ocean just a few paces away. It’s also super close to Groto, so exploring the natural rock formations is effortless.

Stayed for two nights and absolutely loved every moment! The resort is perfectly located in Boracay's S2 area—just a short walk to White Beach, and super close to Dmill too. The room was spacious, and while the air conditioning was window-type, it worked well and kept the space comfortable. What stood out most was the beautiful pool—clean, inviting, and always supervised by attentive staff. I'd spend my days swimming at White Beach, watching stunning sunsets, then come back to unwind in the pool. It’s such a relaxing rhythm. The vibe, service, and overall value made this stay truly memorable. Would definitely return.

The service at Ferra Hotel and Garden Suites was absolutely outstanding, especially the female front desk manager who went above and beyond.

The restaurant service was equally excellent, and cleanliness was spotless throughout. While my room didn’t come with a balcony, the hotel’s affordable dry cleaning service made up for it in a seamless way. Every detail exceeded my expectations. This place truly delivers on comfort, care, and value. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Boracay.
