Malay Hotels with Pools

I used to like staying at Hennan Resorts in Boracay, this one however was quite a walk to the beach and had a bit of a struggle at night. Also, the rooms aren’t soundproof, on our last night, lots of people were loud around 1:30am (most likely late check in guests) without consideration. The next door neighbor were obviously heard making love. I am addressing this issue so it will be avoided. Overall stay wasn’t bad when it comes to the service and amenities but I am disappointed in how the rooms weren’t quiet enough since we paid extra for an upgrade. I was expecting my money’s worth.

An Absolute Gem in Boracay! If you are planning a trip to Boracay, definitely check this out. Checks almost every single box for a perfect stay. The Room: Super affordable, nice, and beautifully maintained. Plus, the AC is ice-cold—which is exactly what you need after a long day at the beach! The Staff: The team here is SUPERB!! They are incredibly welcoming, helpful, and truly make you feel at home. Food & Amenities: The breakfast is good! it tastes great and gets the job done. The pool is also a very nice touch—there are a few broken tiles on the pool floor that could use a fix, but it's still a super lovely spot to hang out and relax. Whenever I return to Boracay, this will definitely be my go-to spot.

I rarely write such long reviews, but this hotel truly deserves it. Crimson is a wonderful hotel in every sense of the word. It's situated in a quiet, peaceful location that offers complete privacy and seclusion – exactly what we were looking for. The hotel has its own private beach, which is clean, well-maintained, and never overcrowded. It felt like we had stumbled upon our own little paradise. The restaurants deserve a special mention. The food was absolutely delicious at all dining venues – a huge variety and excellent quality. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner – every meal was a delight. But what truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. The team is incredibly attentive and warm. When we decided to extend our stay, we were pleasantly surprised with compliments and small gifts – we truly felt valued. And when my husband unfortunately fell ill during our trip, the staff went above and beyond to help – offering assistance, checking in on us, and making sure we had everything we needed. Their kindness and professionalism were astonishing. And the pillow – it was incredibly comfortable. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I slept so well. Every night of our stay, I had a deep, peaceful, perfect sleep – no neck pain and no tossing and turning. Crimson has spoiled all other hotels for me – in the best possible way. Thank you for everything. We will definitely be back.

So let's begin with the positives. The staff is excellent, beyond excellent they will go out of everything to make you feel accommodated. They are unbelievably attentive. Another positive aspect is its location which is literally right on the sand. Can't get much closer to the beach than this hotel. And did I mention that the staff was very accommodating? When you want to lounge on the beach, the staff will rush out immediately to position the lounges and put towels down. They truly work hard to assist your every need when you are on the beach. An improvement would be updated lounge chairs with cushions but you are not lounging on the sand unless you want to. So as I said, I want to start off with a positive but there are serious negatives about this hotel in fact to the point at which I would suggest booking a different hotel if at all possible. First on the list of negatives is that the food at the restaurant is less than mediocre. Yes you will get breakfast but in all honesty, you might just want to pass that up. Nothing is kept hot...nothing. Everything is served lukewarm or cold except for the eggs which they do make right away...the fresh cooked eggs is the only exception to luke-warm or in some cases even slightly undercooked food. However, what should be cold is never cold, for example even though the milk has a sign that says cold milk it is always room temperature as well as the juices. The cold milk is warm...always,,,,while the food that should be warm or hot is always cold or virtually well on its way to being cold. It's interesting that even though they have the small gas flame burners at the bottom of containers for food, they are never on. Additionally I would recommend that if you are not accustomed to luke-warm to cold Filipino style food again, you may want stay eat somewhere else because most of the food served is Filipino style and while Filipino food can be quite good, not here. Now for the accommodations. The rooms are at best motel style rooms with the AC blasting down on you constantly. Your only alternative is to turn the AC on and off throughout the night to get a break. The rooms themselves are rustic and extremely noisy because everything faces the courtyard and you have concrete surrounding you so it echoes in any conversation especially at night. Sound just echoes throughout the entire place. There is constant noise so bring your ear plugs. I will say, staff keeps everything very clean so no problems there at all. It's just that the entire facility is not well-designed or well maintained for most travelers' expectations. For example, The hot water in the shower it's turned on similar to a faucet bathtub style but the water literally trickles out (at least in my room). Fortunately you do get some hot water coming through the shower head and while it is barely enough to take a shower, it is not what you would expect at a hotel price. I selected this hotel because it has so many good reviews online and it has a lot of 10s out of10s. One site lists it as 4.9 out of 5, I thought that was great but after a few nights, I am convinced that these reviews are from the owners, owner friends or staff or perhaps all of them. It is completely beyond my imagination that this hotel can get those kinds of reviews especially as there are other hotels that are around to compare with. I have traveled a lot and this is probably not more then a five to six at most out of 10 and the only reason it's that high because of staff. Again....5.5 to 10 is my rating on this motel/hotel.

We had a pleasant stay at Savoy Hotel Boracay. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and located in a quieter part of Boracay, which was great when we wanted to relax away from the busy areas. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the facilities were well maintained. The pool area was nice, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and family-friendly. It may be a little farther from the main stations, but transportation is available and the quieter location was a plus for us. Overall, a good value for the price and we would consider staying here again.

We were very happy with our stay at Belmont Boracay. We arrived ahead of the checkin time and they gave us a complimentary early check-in. Sir Ivan and the rest of the staff was so accomodating. There is a free shuttle going to dmall but of course you need to schedule ahead of time. Breafast is good, I can say not a lot of choices but all are delicious. We had our dinner at the hotel and the food is sooo good. The location is far from the center but this is what we want not crowded and not so many people. There is also an atm in the lobby and 7eleven nearby. Overall, our stay here was great, recommended for families and for those who want serene and less crowded place.

This is a lovely beachfront hotel. The private beach ensures a very quiet and relaxing stay. The rooms and the entire property were immaculately clean, making for a very comfortable experience. The lush greenery surrounding the hotel grounds also adds to its charm, allowing guests to relax amidst nature. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle bus to D'Mall, with 4 round trips per day. It has a capacity of 8 people and requires reservations. While very convenient, I think it would be even more useful if there were more frequent trips and if it could stop at a supermarket along the way. The chocolate buffet was very enjoyable, but I believe the satisfaction level would be even higher if fruits were also offered. Above all, the staff's hospitality was outstanding; they were always warm and accommodating throughout my stay. This is a highly recommended hotel that I would definitely want to stay at again.

A Wonderful Stay at Azalea Hotels & Residences Boracay (July 25–28, 2026) We had an absolutely fantastic 4D3N stay at Azalea Hotels & Residences Boracay, and I can honestly say it exceeded our expectations in so many ways. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile—truly one of the hotel’s greatest strengths . The Room & Comfort We booked a family suite, and it was perfect for our group. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with large king-sized beds, a separate living area, and a fully equipped kitchenette complete with a microwave, stove, and refrigerator . Having the ability to prepare our own meals was a huge plus, especially on lazy days when we just wanted to relax in the room. The beds were very comfortable, and daily housekeeping kept everything spotless . Location & Accessibility The location is unbeatable. Azalea is situated in Station 2, just a short 2–3 minute walk to the famous White Beach and a quick stroll to D’Mall, where all the shops, restaurants, and nightlife are .

My friends had a wonderful 3-day, 2-night stay at Boracay Ocean Club Beach Resort. They loved the beachfront location, the relaxing pool, and the delicious breakfast with a good variety of options. The rooftop pool was an added bonus, offering a great place to unwind and enjoy the views. They also shared that the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout their stay. Overall, they had a great experience and would gladly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Boracay.

Pros The hotel is in a great location. It is right on the beach. Restaurants, bars and stores were all right outside hotel. As you walk out of hotel, you will be bombarded with people selling you things: hair braiding, excursions, seafood, tattoos, bracelets, massages… etc but that’s everywhere on the beach. Hotel staff were great!  They surprised my son with a birthday song and a treat on his birthday. We didn’t even let them know it was his birthday, so they must have noticed on his passport. They took photos and videos of this nice surprise. Upon checkout, hotel also gave us personalize bracelets as thank you gifts. Swimming pool was nice and not too busy. Breakfast was not bad. Lots of options. Great breakfast view.  Cons Our room was really far. We booked for 4 but only had 2 towels in the room. Had to request for more towels as well as hand towels and floor towels as the room don’t have any. Water pressure was terrible. At some point, there was no water coming out of the faucet at all. We couldn’t shower or wash our hands. Staff were super accommodating and changed our room the next day. 2nd room was closer and much newer looking. Water pressure was good but now wifi was not working.
