Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay

Unexpected escape, and relaxation. A vibe like no other. The food is exquisite and worth every calorie. It bears the Filipino touch but doesn’t look entirely foreign to those from abroad. I especially like the chocolate hour at 3pm. The members of the staff are always courteous… kudos and keep it up.

Been diligent in researching a good beach hotel to vacation in Asia and found this Hotel marketed as 5-star hotel and part of Accor’s lfine hotels. its on Boracay island and this hotel is on an exclusive part of the island called Station 0 (zero) where there are only 3 luxury hotels (Crimson and Shangri-la being the others). first off, this is more like a 4-star than a 5. Apparently this hotel was formerly Sol Marina Beach Club before Accor took over. i guess Accor decided it meets their standards (?) now the good; it is actually great to share the same beach with the 5-star hotels; private, clean and truly relaxing atmosphere. the service is top-notch; all services ! The let down: i hv an Accor acct and have yet to build it. i understand that if not booked directly with the hotel, it does not count for rwds pts. but everything else i spend in the hotel should be. nope! according to the waiters, the cashiers insisted i can’t get any pts on any of my spendings. i brought this up to the Accor rep at the front lobby and confirmed that i shld have, but he wants the names of those who said no and the credit cards i used. like pulling teeth! and hair! not worth my time. know who’s worth it though? other loyalty progs.

went here to see the facilities. walked-in and availed the day pass. the staff at the beach bar area are very friendly and were assisting me throughout my time. I forgot to get his name but he was so approachable. drinks were okay and I just had the best Banh Mi in the island.

During my stay, the experience was mixed. While the location is very nice and ideal for those looking for isolation, and the private sandy beach is pleasant, there were several disappointing aspects. It was almost impossible to find a seat at the beach, as sunbeds were reserved with towels for long periods without anyone present. The food for both lunch and dinner was of poor quality, and the cocktails were below expectations. Housekeeping services were also inconsistent. The rooms felt outdated, with old furniture, fridge, and flooring, which affected overall comfort. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, smiling, and welcoming throughout the stay, which was appreciated. Overall, the setting and staff have potential, but significant improvements are needed in food quality, room maintenance, and beach management.

I love the place. Superb service. Super delicious food! Nice staff (overall, there was one i didn't like that much
