Prior to this trip, I had only been on one other beach getaway vacation three years ago - to my childhood state of Hawaii. (When I travel, I usually go to bigger cities looking for culture, history, and food.) When I lived in California and took a beach vacation (mostly to San Diego), I would usually visit the beach in the morning and stay downtown at night to enjoy a nightlife. So the resorts in Oahu, Maui, and Kauai were my reference points. The Grand Hyatt in Kauai was the best beach resort I have seen. Now, this Boracay resort is my mark.
The layout and the architecture are both well-thought out and beautiful! The trees and the waters on the beaches and in the pools are endless! The facilities fulfill the five-star qualifications. And above all, the service and the staff truly fulfill the five-star qualifications! Each and every one of them go beyond that "Filipino hospitality." They make you feel like a VIP with their warm friendliness and willingness to help.
I highly recommend this resort if you are going to Boracay. It is a getaway that provides peace and serenity with luxury and comfort.
The Property
As soon as we arrived at the resort, we did not want to leave! We spent most of our three days and two nights at the resort enjoying the facilities and clean, luxurious comfort.

The Room
We checked into a beachfront room which was so spacious and clean. On top of that, we also had a balcony with a gorgeous view of the beach right outside.

The Beach
Aside from its facilities and staff, the resort also stands out with its private beaches. Boracay is known for being a party place. This resort stood away from that noise and crowd pollution. Each day and night we enjoyed walking and sitting on the resort's two beaches. On many occasions, the beaches felt like they were exclusively ours.
