Having called Boracay home for the past two decades, I've found myself in Kalibo countless times for both work and leisure. I've slept in nearly every hotel the city has to offer, so I speak from considerable experience.
This visit, I decided to break my routine and try something differentāa decision that paid off handsomely. From the moment I checked in, this hotel exceeded expectations. The centerpiece of my room was a magnificent 2Ć2 meter king-size bedāa rare luxury in these parts that instantly won me over. The modern split-type air conditioner hummed quietly, and the remarkable sound insulation provided a peaceful haven from the city's bustle. I found the staff to be polite and attentive without being intrusive.
I had arrived with my own car, which had initially given me pause about booking here. Knowing the area's notorious parking limitations, I'd always avoided this location. What a surprise to discover they maintain a spacious, secured parking compound just 30 meters away! Staff personally unlocked it for my arrival, then secured it again after I'd parkedāa level of service that stands unmatched in Kalibo.
The surrounding neighborhood has the charming character of an old town district, feels perfectly safe, and offers a vibrant selection of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance.
After this experience, I've found a new favorite. Based on my extensive knowledge of local accommodations, this is now unquestionably the finest hotel I know in Kalibo. Their restaurant deserves special mention tooāthe...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOur family was driving from Manila to Bacolod, on the ferry to Catlican port I searched hotels and called this hotel for a booking. I stated we were travelling as 4 , 2 adults, a 10 yr old, and a newborn. I stated i needed a room with 2 beds for a quick stopover and would be checking in late and leaving early am back on road trip. ||I was quotes 2,599 PHP for the 1 night stay . I booked the room. ||Upon arriving at the hotel, very tired i must say, i was asked to fill out registration card, then they asked for my CC, then all of a sudden, they said i must pay another 800 PHP for the 10 yr old boy. I was very taken aback at that, i asked when i called and booked the room and stated i was 4 in my family, why did you quote me 2,599 and take the booking? ||The very uppity girl at front desk said , Sir, you need to pay that when check in, its not our job to disclose that on the phone. ||I said, Is this because I am a foreigner you are raising the confirmed room booking price, because you gave me a confirmed price and booked my reservation. ||They would not budge and we refused to stay there. Funny how I am sure no one else was checking in that late for 12 hour stay, so the room I a sure stayed empty . ||I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, its down a side baranguy street and the staff obviuosly do not respect foreigners there. ||this is a 2 star hotel asking for almost 4000 php for 1...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe were in Kalibo for an overnight trip. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were welcomed by their warm and friendly staff. We were even given delicious welcome drinks. After checking in, we were assisted by a hotel staff to our room. The room was spacious and clean. Oh, and they have hotel shuttle to service their guests to and from the airport.||||The hotel staff were very warm, friendly, and accommodating. We told them that we would just take the tricycle to the airport, as we had to buy some things before heading to the airport, and we did not want to delay the other guests. But the hotel staff were very insistent and told us that they would make arrangements so that the hotel shuttle can come back for us and take us to the airport.||||We also loved the food in their restaurant.||||All in all, this is a great hotel. If you're traveling to Kalibo, I highly...
