My Trip Advisor Review for Astoria Boracay

Astoria Boracay's WEBSITE

Astoria Boracay is indeed the BEST hotel along white sand shore of Boracay! Guests need not to walk on foot walk or ride a motor trike to reach the beach. Guests just take a few steps – a couple or three – behind the hotel, and presto – the world renowned Boracay beach!

Along with the world-class amenities of Astoria Boracay is its very noticeable immaculate white and lustrous glass design. In the event that night falls, the 22-meter swimming pool adds grandiose to the edifice as it is perfectly lit with blue-color lights submerged in the pool somehow imitating the azure hue of the sea. Strategically placed are CCTVs that monitors all angles of the vicinity for added security among guests.

Rooms are equally relaxing for its very comfy lighting system. Amidst the amenities of the room are as follows: high-speed wifi connection, personal-sized refrigerator, LCD television, kettle, slippers (hotel-complement), beach towels other than body, face and hand towels, three pillows in each bed (great buddies for pillow lovers), sufficient DC sockets, and large safety deposit box for security purposes. In addition to the characteristics of the vault, it is indeed spacious that had accommodated the reviewer’s two (2) laptops, one (1) videocam, one (1) digicam, mens’ wallet and accessories. Rest rooms are very much comfortable to fit vanity kits, toiletries and others. More so, it houses a tub that catches water from three water sources – the faucet and two types of showers.

Rooms are smoke-free but has balcony where nicotine-lover may play his smoke! As to the food, they serve all buffet style. To late risers, worry not as breakfast is made available up to two hours before noon. A choice of local and western menus are also available to the preference of the guests. Bar is made just outside the hotel near the beach that offers acoustic, pop and mind-soothing tunes from live band of three or more. Just adjacent the outside bar is the location for the famous fire dancing exposition; a very suitable hotel to catch the gleaming fire at night!

As for the staff, very much recommendable! The hotel is sufficient with manpower! Anywhere of the hotel, you can grab (what-a-word!) a friendly, accommodating and apparently well-trained personnel for your needs and queries – be it in the room (the conventional Dial-Zero operator), the pool area, the bar and others! Seemingly, over staffed hotel! A great factor though!

What else??? As a guest checks-out, a short survey/questionnaire is offered. This certainly gives chance for retention of good service and improvement on some loopholes (which I think none as per our stay). Part of the survey asks what three things a guest desires for his comeback in Boracay; as for the reviewer, he simply answered the following – 1.) the white sand beach, 2.) the fire dance, and 3.) ASTORIA BORACAY!
