Caticlan Jetty Port is exactly what you expect--and honestly, it gets the job done…read more This is the main gateway to Boracay, so be prepared for a bit of a process: multiple lines, different fees (environmental, terminal, boat), and a decent amount of foot traffic. It can feel a little chaotic at first, but overall it's organized and moves fairly efficiently considering the volume of people passing through. The boat ride itself is quick--about 10-15 minutes--and once you're on, everything feels smooth. Staff were generally helpful in directing where to go, especially if it's your first time navigating the system. Bring cash and a little patience. It's not the most seamless experience, but it's all part of getting to Boracay--and once you arrive, it's 100% worth it.

First thing; You can organize a shuttle ride(We didn't) through your Boracay hotel. For most…read morepeople, this might be the way to go because from the airport - to this Jetty Port - to Boracay... I'd imagine for most it'll be a chaotic experience. The downfall of organizing through your hotel is that it adds an unnecessary expense(Think a few dollars per person versus 20-60 usd per person depending on your hotel) Most in the Philippines speak English so you should be good but if you have a Filipino friend, fiance, or wife you're traveling with, even better! If you aren't used to the public transportation life of the Philippines, organizing a shuttle might be ideal. Our experience? When we walked out of the airport, there was a stand to request a trike ride to this jetty port. Upon arrival, you need to find a place to pay for a boat ticket along with the environmental fee. Add in that you have to wheel your bag around the terminal/load it on the boat/etc(arranging a shuttle... they take care of most of that for you). I'd still suggest not going the shuttle/hotel route if you have any sense of adventure in you. You can certainly figure things out and save some money for more play/food while visiting Boracay. The last thing I want to mention is the return trip. There are quite a few flights that are scheduled for 7-9 AM departure. - Since you have to wake up - Check out of your hotel - Find a trike to the Boracay jetty port - Pay for the ride back from this Jetty Port to the airport(pay in advance) - Take the boat back - Check in to the airport - etc... this can cause a super early wakeup time. All in all, it took about 1.5 hours to make it from the hotel back to the airport early in the morning. I mentioned it before but if you're not doing the shuttle thing, you need to pay for a trike in advance at the Boracay jetty port. They give you a sticker. When you reach the main island jetty port... getting off the boat you're met by dozens of trike drivers talking to you. Show one the sticker and they'll get you to where you need to go(the airport). All of that chaos is part of getting to Boracay whether by shuttle or on your own. Give yourself plenty of time and try to do a little research in advance; You'll be fine.

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The room I was booked is good for 3 guests. There is 1 double bed and 1 single bed. Stayed here for a week and I stayed in 3 different floors. Had a pleasant stay. Just couldn't avoid the sound of traffic but the view overlooking sm city and festive walk is amazing since I grew up here and seeing the progress of the city makes me proud.

They have lounge chairs by the beachfront for guests. Outdoor showers & foot rinses are available. The suites are spotless with comfortable beds, linens, & welcome chocolates. Bathrooms are clean, spacious & essential toiletries, soft bath towels & bathrobes. Our family of 7 booked 3 rooms & availed the 8-day breakfast buffet, which was def the best choice! The hotel rotates main dishes, so there are repeats but not identical every day. The selection is extensive! A heads-up: if you want peace & quiet, request rooms near the lobby. Caveat: As soon as you step onto the beach, vendors will frequently approach with the same offerings (island activities, food). Even worse, vendors stay close to the beachfront, pestering guests with direct sales or loud voices, disrupting relaxation. Resorts should regulate this. I respect the hustle, but designated spots would help. We came to relax on the white sand, listen to the ocean, or read a book. Keep that in mind.

After an exhausting journey from the airport in Coron to Manila, then from Manila to Boracay…read moreAirport, followed by a shuttle to the boat, and finally another shuttle to our lovely hotel, we arrived. Whew! Just like in Coron, we were 15 sharing six rooms at the hotel. By the time we arrived, it was too late for us to enjoy the complimentary drinks. Unfortunately, my daughter and I never got the chance to return during our 4-day stay. My daughter and I stayed in a clean comfortable room that featured a queen bed and a twin bed, similar to the Zuri Hotel in Coron. However, the living area and bathroom were smaller, and our view of the old buildings wasn't as impressive. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay. The hotel was conveniently located close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Each morning, breakfast was included at the Sapphire restaurant downstairs. The buffet offered a variety of selections, with some items changing daily while others remained the same. My family and I would sit on the patio overlooking the beach. Occasionally, we would hear someone shout "taho," one of my favorite Filipino desserts, and we would buy a few cups from him. The staff gave us a plate with a nice message with two small desserts every morning. Very sweet and thoughtful! What I liked most about this hotel was the Sky Pool. It offered a stunning view of the beach, and we enjoyed going up there during sunset--absolutely beautiful! The bar had friendly bartenders and an intriguing drink menu featuring items like Ube Colada, Blow Job, and Orgasm. They also offered a variety of food options, including nachos, calamari, BBQ chicken, and several main dishes. One of the best features of the pool was its consistent 4-foot depth, making it perfect for those of us who don't know how to swim. I could easily walk to the edge to take in the beach view and watch people on the sand.

We used their transfer…read moreservice (from the airport to the hotel via speedboat and van) and it made everything much less stressful. A quick note that they charge ~$36 USD or ~$50 CAD for the round trip transfer which is considered a very luxurious price on the island. You can transfer from the airport to the hotel from much cheaper using other services, but if you have a little extra to splurge, this service, albeit on the very expensive side, can be worth it after a ~21 hour travel day. They will carry your suitcases and load the van, the boat, and then the van again before bringing it into the hotel for you. The check in process was smooth. We arrived around 11 AM and the room wasn't ready until 2:30 PM. In the meantime, we were given a complimentary drink voucher at their restaurant. We had time to explore the surrounding area before getting into our room. We were assigned a room on the first floor and couldn't open the balcony/window since the area was covered by plants for privacy. Everything about the property was clean. The morning breakfast buffet was amazing. They had a rotation going for the buffet items so we wouldn't be eating the exact same items daily. The selection was vast and it really helped us try some Filipino foods and delicacies without having to commit to an entire order at a restaurant. Our favourite dishes were the pork adobo and fresh cut papaya our Saturday morning breakfast. Other notable items were the pork belly, carbonara pasta, peach macaroni salad, and coconut fish. For drink selections, they offered apple/orange/mango juice, iced coffee, hot coffee, and cucumber lemonade. In addition to their buffet, their a la carte/room service menu offered some delicious food. We ordered a fresh mango and a Seafood Binakol at their swim-up sky pool bar. Delicious. Memorable. Everything was phenomenal. They gave us two beach towel cards that were redeemable at various pool towel stands on the property. The towels were very useful for when we decided to swim on the property, and participating in water activities. The greatest benefit was that all Henann resorts had the same green and blue striped pattern so we could exchange it at any of their properties (beneficial if we were exploring far away from our resort). The workers were very welcoming and polite. They would give Japan a run for their money in terms of hospitality. I would be open to staying here again or another one of their properties to see if it is as amazing as Crystal Sands.

I'm beyond happy that I recommended my sister to have her destination wedding at Crimson!…read more After doing tons of research; food and impeccable service at Crimson was frequently mentioned as one of the best by a lot of reviewers, and they weren't wrong at all. Traveled to a lot of places and the service here was one of the most memorable. Transportation through the resort is seamless. Their lounge by the airport before we went on their private boat was clean and had several complimentary snacks for the guests. We absolutely love getting dropped off right at their private beach front dock and greeted by welcoming drummers. Abby, the wedding coordinator or Crimson was the best! My sister said she was patient, efficient in her responses and was so helpful with the whole process which made it so easy planning things from the out of the country. She was so happy that she made sure to bring a gift for her from the US. On the actual wedding day at 3:45am, we had a terrible emergency, the groom unfortunately had to be taken to the ER having extreme stomach pain and vomiting. The Manager on duty on 2/20 went above and beyond and personally went to the couple's room to help. He even called a couple hospitals ahead of time to ensure they were going to be taken care of and took the right information needed from the hospitals to pass on to the wedding couple. He also got transportation ready to go asap. Crimson Even sent breakfast without us asking to, to the hospital while they were waiting for his results and treatment, which was so thoughtful and meant a lot to us. The wedding food selection was also amazing. (The truffle mashed potatoes were to die for) (though some of the small dessert cakes were too sweet) The bride picked the highest buffet tier and her guests said that it was the best wedding buffet selection they have ever seen. The best thing is that they even were able to move the wedding the next day after the emergency and were able to make the wedding happen seamlessly and beautifully, which was amazing and miraculous in itself given the circumstances. We are so happy we picked a place that truly cared so much about our experience. So if you are thinking of where to have your wedding in Boracay, look no further. You will get what you pay for and more. Crimson will do their best to deliver. Hands down 5-stars all around! *Riza also left a wonderful impression during check-in on 2/18 and delivered iconic hospitality. We easily connected and even remembered me throughout my stay anytime we came across each other. * The Crimson Resort and Spa Boracay won the Condé Nast Johansens Award for Excellence for "Best Breakfast" in 2025. We absolutely love the breakfast each day. *Go for an ocean view suite room if you can! You won't be sorry!

The room was beautiful, large windows, great wifi, great water pressure and shower. Housekeeping was quick with requests and very attentive.

There's also couple romantic dinner reservations available with live music. Azure the restaurant was clean, beautiful and attentive. Mosaic the latin grill is definitely more upscale. The bread is a nice touch and this place is stunning as well. Our only con would be no airplay/screensharing available for apple products on the room tv's. Cannot wait to come back.
