Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel

This was our first time in Boracay, and the moment we arrived, we were served a fresh, cold cucumber drink. The Mandarin Island Hotel delivered the vacation experience we were looking for. We came here to celebrate my big sister’s birthday—truly amazing! Room: 10/10 Spacious and well-appointed. The toiletries were top-notch. Pool: 10/10 Large and inviting. Perfect for relaxing or a quick swim. Ambiance: 10/10 Fantastic views with beautiful interior and exterior design. Every night, there’s a live band which adds to the beach vibe. Food: 10/10 The breakfast buffet is a highlight! Tourists always look forward to it. There's a wide selection—from European dishes to classic Filipino cuisine. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back!

It is a vibrant place located right next to the beach. The staff is very accommodating and always attentive to our needs. During dinner, there is live music, and the waiters even perform dances for the guests. I have heard that many hotels in Boracay have issues with their bathrooms, but we did not experience any such problems here. I only wish I could have stayed longer.

It's not our first time in Boracay, but this has quickly become our favorite place to stay at so far! From the moment we checked in all the way until we left, the staff were incredibly hospitable! They even provided us with packed breakfast meals since we had an early flight to catch. The hotel is also very accommodating when it comes to special requests, and they've helped make the occasion we were celebrating feel much more special. The breakfast buffet is nice and varied, with most of their food options rotating every day. Al fresco seating is available too, so you can have a nice view of the beach as you eat. Never tried the restaurant for lunch/dinner, though. Mandarin Island also offers free use of their beach beds and towels. There's usually a staff member around, so you kinda don't have to worry about your stuff being taken. There's a live band every evening that'll keep playing until a bit before midnight. It didn't really bother us, but it's something to consider if you prefer a quieter atmosphere at night. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here, and I highly recommend it for any type of traveler who wants to stay at a beachfront location!
