I LOVE BORACAY, PI. AND I LOVE THE DISTRICT BORACAY !!! They were the cherry on top with our stay…read more First off, flying to the PI from the US is long and on top of that taking another flight to Caticlan AND then a 15 min drive AND then a speed boat AND then another drive to the hotel!!! It's overwhelming just when you land in Manila. However, once we got to Caticlan the District takes care of everything else. At the arrival of meeting a District staff member at the airport I just felt so relieved knowing we can relax and be worry free. Staff reassured us we were going to be taken care of. All of the staff on the boat and cars were so welcoming and took photos of our landing. When we got to the hotel, we were welcomed with cold eucalyptus towels (which you're gonna want bc of the humidity) & a refreshing cucumber cooler drink ! Check in was an ease and we got to our room without much of a wait. Room is probably the better of the ones in station 2 with AC & tv with all streaming services. We get a cute balcony. They have night time getting ready turn around and fully daily room service. All inclusive breakfast buffet which changes daily and beach access chairs with umbrellas. My BF and I every day would walk the beach, get our seats, & the. swim/relax for the day. No need to claim as there is always plenty. They have a spa and it is fantastic ! We got 3 massages on our 5 day stay and shout out to Grace - hands of an angel! Best massages ever, with a variety to choose. They were well needed after our flight. They have a pool, but we avoided bc the beautiful beach is right outside the hotel. We did however sit by the poolside to escape the sun during peak hours. They have a very small basic gym, which had everything we needed. It was great to get our workouts in cause that's a part of our lifestyle. There's also three other restaurants in the hotel which was delicious. Higher prices compared to restaurants on the station, they deliver to the beach if you're sitting there. Try their Japanese restaurant, very fresh high quality fish. I will say the hospitality in the PI is 10/10 & the hospitality at The District was 100/10. They were on top of everything and always greeting with the smiles. Please make sure to tip them for all their excellent work (including transportation and staff assisting with luggage) !!! Boracay is a tourist destination, & the beautiful staff assist us with over the top service and they deserve so much for what they are actually paid!!! If you can afford to travel to Boracay, you can afford to tip the amazing service. If you're looking for a nice stay, celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, etc stay here!!!

Staying at The District made my husband and I's Boracay trip extremely enjoyable from the minute we…read morelanded at the airport to checking out and leaving. They made our transportation experience from landing at the airport, taking a boat to the island, and transport to the hotel very seamless. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming and the overall hotel is clean. We enjoyed their spa and really took advantage of it and went twice during our stay and enjoyed each session. It was definitely a soothing and relaxing massage especially from all the walking and being out in the hot sun. The beach is literally footsteps from the hotel making it super convenient and the hotel is located at station 2 making it a great location that is near Dmall and various other restaurants, stores, and more. If I were to ever return to Boracay, I'd definitely stay here again!

No AC but many fans expect to be hot on a very hot day. Our breakfast buffet is included with our stay. Drinks like coffee, mango juice, water is included but specialty drinks you have to pay. It's a little steeper than going to local shake drink places but it's made fancy. Coconut drinks in a coconut shell. Mango shakes are thick and with a slice of fresh mango. Food changes daily but good Filipino and American food good enough for breakfast. We always come out stuffed! . Excellent staff service. Always friendly and accommodating. We haven't tried their dinner though. I am sure we will be back here next year. [29R,2025]

We were staying at Henann Regency and were able to get free breakfast every morning, and thank…read moreGOODNESS for that because it's the best buffet they have, HANDS DOWN. Their champorado (ube or chocolate, always different) and their arroz caldo or korean porridge they had was SOOOO good. This is the only reason why I'm giving the food 5 stars. We went to their lunch buffet one day right as they opened and there were flies everywhere, it was hot (they later closed the doors) and the food was cold already, but they had lechon which was okay, just a bit bland. Halo halo bar was a cool idea, but they didn't even have any beans T_T Definitely go for BREAKFAST!!! The servers and helpers have wonderful customer service as well.

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.

Everything about our stay at the Henann Crystal Sands Resort was amazing. 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.

The restaurant has the most beautiful tropical view, lush greenery, open air, and such a relaxing island atmosphere. It honestly makes the meal even better. I ordered a burger with fries, and it was exactly what I was craving. The burger was juicy and flavorful with fresh toppings on a soft, lightly toasted sesame bun, and the fries were perfectly crispy and golden while still fluffy inside. The vibe is relaxed but elevated, and the service was friendly and attentive without feeling overbearing. It's an easy place to sit back, enjoy the view, and take your time. If you're staying at the Shangri-La or visiting the area, Vintana is absolutely worth a stop. It has great food, incredible views, and a spot you'd happily come back to.

Aside from the…read moreamazing customer service from people who are always professional, the stunning views of the ocean and the island's beautiful beaches were breathtaking. The entire resort is relaxing and elegant, with a great view of the ocean, coupled with lush green coconut trees. But the experience would not be complete without the brunch buffet offered complimentary at Vintana. The restaurant has a relaxed yet elegant vibe, with a modern design that feels both welcoming and classy. The food is authentic, offering various cuisines, but primarily Filipino dishes that change from day to day. There are Filipino flavors and international dishes, as well as breakfast options like fresh fruit, pastries and many other choices. I had my all-time favorites, like Kare-Kare (oxtail curry), Sisig (chopped pork parts with chicken liver and onions, seasoned with calamansi and chili peppers), Lechon, Mahi-mahi fish in broth, Pansit, a variety of noodles, fried rice, eggs to order, and Lumpiang Sariwa (fresh spring rolls). There were so many more dishes to try. For drinks, I ordered a flat white coffee one day and enjoyed a variety of their fresh fruit drinks, like watermelon, cantaloupe and mango. For desserts, the Taho (soft soybean pudding with mini boba) brought back memories, as I ate a lot of this growing up. They also had Crepes with various fillings, Kalamay's (sweet sticky Filipino desserts) and Puto (rice cakes). What we loved about this place was the hospitality of the staff. They were all attentive and very respectful. We felt at home and were accommodated nicely. They all gave their best and always with a great smile. Vintana Cafe is a must-visit while staying at Shangri-La. Everything, from the food and customer service to view, was top-notch.

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!

An amazing stay overall! From the airport, there was a easy private shuttle to their private dock…read more The dock was clean, had ac and complimentary items. Staff was friendly. The dock was actually walkable and goes 20-30 yards into the water. Transportation including bus and boat ride was under 40 minutes and we appreciated that we never felt rushed by staff. Upon arrival to the resort, this place is absolutely modern, clean and stunning. We also got a tour of the place during check-in. The room was beautiful, large windows, great wifi, great water pressure and shower. Housekeeping was quick with requests and very attentive. The pool area does close kinda early but it's basically empty every night by nightfall. The beach area is gorgeous, especially the sunset. 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.

We ordered the nachos and have to say the presentation was impressive. Haven Bistro definitely took some pride in the food prep. And of course being in the Philippines, the nachos had diced mango. :) The calamari was pretty good and while Kare Kare is not my particular favorite, again, they out did themselves on the presentation. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and again ...gotta love the Filipino twist with diced mango. The portions were bigger than expected so pleasantly surprised. What I also really liked was the drink options. Most places have the traditional banana, pineapple, mango or coconut flavored shakes but Haven Bistro adds a twist with either cilantro, mint or basil. The pineapple basil shake and mango cilantro shake were pretty good. Of course they were fresh with real ingredients. The service was very good. Our order took a little time but no worries when you know it's being freshly made and being in the cool restaurant was a nice break from the heat and humidity outside. A noticeable difference was when they served us water, it actually had ice - a significant difference from just about anywhere else. The service was very polite & courteous - but have to say that is the normal in the Philippines. Also, the restaurant was exceptionally clean...sometimes hard to maintain with the sand from the beach.

Since my room was upstairs and the restaurant was part of the Club Haven (Boracay Haven Resort/Suits), I got free breakfast delivered every morning. I ordered a cheese french toast one morning and it was, again, to die for. Their pancakes were delicious too. The employees were great. Very helpful and always with a smile. At night, the place turns into a buffet. Never got to try it, but the food they were cooking looked equally delicious.

Our room was only a few steps away from the pool and the towel service (which they gave you towel cards so you can borrow clean beach towels to use). This hotel was also a short walk away from the beach in which you can use their beach chairs (first come, first serve) and there's an attendant that oversee them. We spend the whole day at the beach! Included with your reservation (now I don't remember if we paid for it or not), was their breakfast buffet. Located at their Sea Breeze restaurant. You check in with the attendant, tell them your name and they'll show you to yoir seat. Their menu rotates, but they always have their regulars like rice, American breakfast and breads. My only complaint is from some guests that feels so entitled that they needed to be served like people who worked here is their personal help. Anyway, will definitely stay here again if we ever go back because This definitely was an awesome experience for us and we were so well taken care of that we didn't want to leave.
