Hotels With bar in Western Visayas, Philippines

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.

We’re a travelling family of four. Our kids are 5 and 10 respectively and we all loved Boracay island and enjoyed the stay at Fairways hotel. I chose this place because I wanted safe and secure environment with several pools and a private beach. During our stay we spent time at four different pools and the beach exceeded my every expectation. It was absolutely fabulous. We enjoyed snorkelling right at the beach and exploring marine life at the rocks and a small cave near it. We are truly grateful to the hotel for a free upgrade we received. We enjoyed a two-bedroom family suite with two balconies and two bathrooms. It was really comfortable and everyone in the family had enough space. It’s not just good value for money but it’s way beyond what we expected to get at this price. That being said, I would like to mention several peculiar features which we didn’t enjoy that much. 1. As many travellers, we didn’t like the hotel breakfast at all. The choice and variety of food is poor and the taste is mediocre. Basically we skipped breakfast and went to the White Barn cafe pretty much every day. Thank you, White Barn, your food was really tasty and the service invariably excellent. 2. If you want to go anywhere (including the private beach or some of the pools) outside the main building you have to take a shuttle bus which is fine in general but the road is bumpy and my kids complained a lot about the uncomfortable travel. The distances are short but due to the heat we really didn’t want to walk. 3. The hotel has a strict one keycard per room policy. Personally, I find it irritating because it means more coordination between family members. If someone fell asleep in the room, you have to wake them up or call the staff to open the room. 4. The cleaning policy is a bit odd. They don’t clean the room unless you ask for it. And you have to wait basically the whole day. Every time we had our room cleaned it was quite late in the evening. Once or twice we didn’t get enough towels. Despite several downsides I believe that Fairways was a perfect choice for our family vacation: great value for money, safe and varied environment, good kids-friendly food available, excellent beach and pools. Thank you Fairways Team!

I love that we have access to the beach that faces the sunrise. The beach was nice and clean and not crowded. The breakfast spread changes everyday and food is delicious. Nice pool. Quie and peaceful. Staff are helpful and friendly. Perfect for digital nomads because internet is very fast. There's a 7-11 in the area so you can grab some food at anytime. The place is safe from hawkers.

Before our trip, we honestly thought Boracay might be a bit overrated because of all the mixed reviews and comments we had read. However, our stay at Belmont Hotel Boracay completely changed that perception. One of the things we appreciated most was having the best of both worlds. Whenever we wanted to experience the lively and crowded side of Boracay, we could easily head out and enjoy it. But after a long day at the beach and the busy tourist spots, it was always a relief to come back to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. Waking up every morning to a quiet and serene environment made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel gave us the option to choose between the vibrant energy of Boracay and a more exclusive, tranquil retreat whenever we wanted to unwind. Because of that balance, we genuinely enjoyed every day of our Boracay vacation. What we initially thought might be an overrated destination turned into a trip filled with wonderful memories, comfort, and relaxation. This is a trip we will always treasure—truly one for the books. Thank you, Belmont, for being such a big part of making our Boracay experience so special. ❤️🏝️✨

When I first arrived, I found the hotel wasn't as stunning as I'd imagined, mainly because the architecture felt too modern and not like a resort. However, the hotel's excellent service soon became apparent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the vacation feel more like a true getaway. Breakfast was simply amazing. The pool connects directly to the beach and the ocean, and the hotel even has its own private bay. There are three restaurants at the hotel, and the food was outstanding and reasonably priced. The rooms were also quite good. The hotel offers airport transfers, but they're a bit expensive. The location is somewhat remote; while the hotel does provide shuttle service to D'Mall, the frequency is limited.

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.

This place offers an excellent service environment. You can stay within the resort 24/7 and enjoy the pool, massages, bar, restaurants, and a private beach without ever needing to leave. My favorite part was the breakfast; the staff were incredibly enthusiastic in explaining the meal options and thoughtfully asked what kind of coffee you'd like, offering a variety of choices. Since the beach is private, you can quietly enjoy the sunset without any disturbances. Plus, during happy hour, there's a buy-one-get-one-free drink promotion. The whole environment is very comfortable, perfect for families and travelers seeking a peaceful getaway.

We always love our stay in any Henann Hotel. But here in Henann Lagoon Boracay, they gave us a free upgrade in our room. The room is a bit dark even with the lights, tho it gives a cozy vibe. The breakfast buffet is also great! I just wish they serve bacon (HAHA!) They are also very much accommodating when we wanted to switch rooms since the first room that was given to us is a bit far. We didn't have to go down the reception because they sent someone to help us transfer to the other room. Will definitely comeback here at Henann Lagoon. 

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel and was completely satisfied with my experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. Everything was well organized and made my stay relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again. 5/5!

As a solo traveler, I really enjoy everything in this hotel. The staff are very friendly and approachable even the owner, they will greet you every time they see you. The Location, is just walking distance from beach. You can access everything. There's a church outside and small market and stores. The facility and my room is super clean. Wifi is fast, the television is working smoothly, the aircon is cold which I loved after walking on the beach. The shower is clean, they also have a heater. The pool and jacuzzi are really giving. Lastly, the food they serve to me every morning. Reminds me of Pancake House It's so delicious. My favorite is the vegetable omelette. You can enjoy your food in the room, but I choose to eat it in front of the pool. These foods saved me money, because the whole day I'm still full. Overall, I really enjoy staying at this hotel. I will tell you that this will be my forever hotel when I go back to Boracay again. See you soon, Oseidon Hotel ☺️
