We were upgraded to a deluxe room at Paradise Garden Resort, and it was absolutely worth it! The space was spacious, the bed was super comfortable, and my mom and I had plenty of room—no cramped feeling at all. The location is perfect: just a 10-minute walk to the beach, and right next to the main pool area. Free Wi-Fi was available throughout, and the room had a subtle vanilla scent that made it feel extra relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming—the moment we arrived, they offered us refreshing welcome drinks. One thing to note: there’s only one power outlet in the room, located near the bathroom, which makes remote work a bit tricky. Also, no hair dryer was provided (though you can request one). We had to pay a 2,000 PHP deposit upfront—lucky I brought cash, otherwise it would’ve been awkward. Still, overall, this resort delivers great value for money. With its beautiful setting, warm hospitality, and peaceful vibe, I’d definitely come back. 9 out of 10!
Stayed at Villa d'Enghien for four nights and was completely captivated by the charm of this unique place—it truly feels like stepping into a living museum. The architecture and interior details are rich with historical elegance, each corner telling its own story. Our room was on the second floor of the main villa, spacious and bright, with a large private balcony overlooking lush gardens. Inside, we found a fridge, kettle, and even real wine glasses—small touches that made a big difference. The shower area is open-plan with no curtain, giving it a refreshing, airy feel. There’s also a separate building on-site with kitchenette rooms, though we didn’t stay there. The pool is on the property but not accessible to guests, which is fine—the quiet, serene atmosphere makes it more than enough. High-speed Wi-Fi worked perfectly, allowing me to work remotely without any issues. Breakfast was simple Filipino-style fare, but presented beautifully with thoughtful table settings that felt almost artistic. What really stood out was the overall ambiance—sitting on the terrace, you could easily imagine being in the French Riviera rather than on a tropical island. It’s an unforgettable experience, deeply authentic and quietly luxurious. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a destination in itself. Highly recommend for travelers seeking something different.
My stay at Boracay Ocean Club Beach Resort was absolutely wonderful! The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the beach, with stunning views of the ocean right from the room. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. While breakfast wasn’t perfect every day, it still had its highlights: fresh eggs and coffee were always available, and the chicken and beef broths were simply outstanding—rich, flavorful, and comforting. Other menu items were consistently good too. Overall, this resort delivers excellent value and a relaxing tropical escape. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic island getaway.

I recently completed my Open Water and Advanced Diving certifications at the diving school right here at The Muse Beach Front Hotel on Boracay, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. I booked the course directly through their Instagram account, and the team responded incredibly fast—clear, concise, and super helpful with all my questions. Their friendly and professional communication made me feel confident from the very beginning. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to be checked in earlier than usual.

Staying at Wendy's Apartelle wasn't quite what I expected. While it's conveniently located near the beach, the room condition was disappointing—furniture looked worn, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. Given the price point, I felt the value didn't match the experience. It's definitely on the higher end compared to similar accommodations in the area, but the quality just doesn't justify the cost. If you're looking for a comfortable and well-maintained stay, this might not be the best choice.
Our stay at this resort was absolutely fantastic. The location couldn’t have been better—just a 2-minute walk to both the beach and the main road, making it incredibly convenient for exploring or simply enjoying the island vibe. There’s a small canteen right outside the property, perfect for grabbing quick snacks or meals without needing to go far. The pool area was one of our favorite spots—clean, well-maintained, and ideal for families. Our kids spent hours swimming and playing, and even the adults couldn’t resist taking a dip in the refreshing water. We also noticed a significant improvement since the new management took over. The staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to help with any request. It’s rare to find such warm hospitality, and they truly made us feel welcome and at home. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and exceptional service, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!
This place is absolutely amazing — 10/10 without a doubt! Just a 5 to 10-minute walk from Ilig Iligan Beach, it feels like you've stumbled upon your own private oasis. The area is quiet and peaceful, far from the crowds of Dmall and Long Beach, which makes it perfect for unwinding or working remotely. I’m a remote worker myself, and the Wi-Fi here is reliable — no more stressing over weak signals from Globe. Plus, they offer free breakfast and complimentary massage sessions, which were such a nice surprise. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming — we had a great chat with one of the ladies on duty, and she made the whole experience feel personal and warm. If you’re looking for a serene, well-connected, and genuinely thoughtful stay, this is the spot.
