레지덴시아 보라카이(Residencia Boracay)

Residencia never fails to deliver, be it iindividual or group reservations. Booked our big family recently and each moment was a memory to remember. Service is spot on, not over bearing. And above all, warm hospitality is prevalent throughout the property.

I stayed at Residencia because it was recommended by friends. For the price, it seemed like a good deal given that it was located in Station 1 - where more luxurious hotels like Discovery Shores and Lind were located. Upon seeing the room, my first impression was that it seemed dated and a bit dingy - the furniture could definitely use some updating. It also had an odd smell, which would greet you each time you enter but would eventually "go away" once you spend some more time inside. What really turned me off though was that I saw a rat inside our room. It was bigger than a lab rat, pretty big and healthy - I saw it inside our room as it scurried its way under the room door. I was disgusted and thought that while I was "lucky" to have seen it myself, who knew where it was going when I was not in the room? I reported this to the hotel staff, hoping they would do something about it but all they did was give 2 towels to block the bottom of the door. I wasn't pleased with neither the situation nor the solution and ended up checking out 3 days earlier than planned and moving to a better hotel.

The place appears to be basic at the start but gave us a lot of surprises during our stay. We got the seaview room with balcony and lounge chairs. We enjoyed the view. The room is big and can accommodate 4pax. The small room inside our room with exhaust fan where we can hang the wet clothes is a nice addition. The bathroom is big and I can say more than basic. It exceeds expectation. The staff service is superb, and everyone made us feel at home. The food in the restaurant is good! The place is beachfront in station 1, and I think this is the only one in the area that renders this kind of service within reasonable price. I hope they can add a swimming pool soon but with or without it, we will come back!

Great hotel, friendly service. Recommend this place to anyone
