Deparis Resort Boracay — Hotel in Malay

Great place to stay when you're traveling with a family. It's affordable with family-oriented staff you can rely on for support, especially for arranging for hassle-free airport transfers. Jocile, and other staff, took care of us really well. I'm giving this place 5 stars because of how well we were treated during our stay and the location's close proximity to the beach and market/social happenings. This place got our needs covered: safe, affordable for family, comfortable accommodations, room to play, etc. If you're looking for higher-class accommodations with queen/king size beds and fancy amenities-all with higher lodging rates, I suggest you move on.

In our case, we were a party of 8 (husband and wife and her two sisters, two toddlers, and two elderly parents). We opted for the 2 side by side cottage rooms by their beautiful flower garden in the center of the hotel. We felt at home during our 4-night stay in October 2014.

Though we were less than 100 yards from the beach, we enjoyed the quiet, rustic style living in our space. It's a great place for brunch. I look forward to each morning's freshly-squeezed juice combos. Mango juice was hella good! We enjoyed the tapsilogs, bangsilogs, etc... Although you could try the other stuff in the menu. We also hung out in our patio, eating palutan and drinking, while others made a meal from fresh seafood in our adjacent kitchen.

Being in Station 2, we could easily walk anywhere up and down the coastline. My favorite morning activity was simply lounging on white sandy beach, in front of the hotel on my lounging chair, people watching and just taking in all the sunshine, coastline, and cool breeze. Our little ones also made a lot of sand castles during our stay.

Anyway, hope you enjoy your...

Deparis hotel in general is ok. a typical 3 star hotel. my partner checked in on one of the rooms upstairs last week. it was a good 4 days stay at the hotel. but one thing that needs a huge improvement are the front desk receptionist.||we arrived around 7 am and the lady manning the desk is somewhat unresponsive.||she doesn't smile at all as if her work is a burden to her. was asking some questions and she simply is not into it.||||i hope the owner, who happens to be French people, try hiring cheerful and young people.||||they serve good breakfast though as it comes free with the room. our exhaust fan at the CR was not working. hot shower is not working.||our room has a safe deposit box so it was quite useful for us.||maintenance crew entered our room without informing us so we did not know what they did inside as we noticed our things were dislocated.||||i would recommend the place for adults. but for those with children,better think twice as the place is quite dark, with mosquitos and cats hanging around.||||hotel is at station 2 where the center is. they serve affordable buffet dinner at Php 475.||||overall, if your not the demanding type,...

We traveled as a family so we decided to book the Quadruple Deluxe Interior room.||It was one of the newer rooms in the resort. ||||Location from the port: about 15 mins drive (inc. traffic) to the drop-off point, and then a 5-10 minute walk to get to the hotel. It will bring you to the back of Deparis itself, where a staff waits. ||||Location to White Beach: literally in front of White Beach in Station 2. We basically paid for this above all else. ||||Breakfast: Basic it will get you through a few hours.||||The rest of the day's food: you'd be better off trying food around Boracay. Be wary of oysters and other seashells, if you eat them make sure they're fresh, otherwise, you'll be spending your holiday in your bathroom.||||Room: Clean, airconditioning was working. Toilet was super new and super clean (I'm not sure if it's the same for other rooms), there was a mini-fridge (empty), but it does mean you can bring your drinks and food...
