Blue Marina

Blue Marina isn't on the beachfront, but White Beach is only about a two-minute walk away, and that walk felt like part of the Boracay experience. Our rooms were clean, cool, and comfortable after long days at the beach, and the hotel breakfast was filling and much better than a basic breakfast. We booked through a BPI promo that included breakfast, use of Coast’s amenities, and airport and boat transfers. Everything from arrival to check-in was easy. We especially enjoyed relaxing at Coast in the afternoons, watching Boracay sunsets and having their buy-1-take-1 cocktails. The amenities were a great extra. The staff were warm and attentive. They even surprised me with a birthday cake, a really thoughtful gesture. Blue Marina feels underrated and luxurious for the price, with great service. I'd absolutely stay again. ☀️

We went to Blue Marina Hotel Boracay last February for a birthday trip. It was short, but memorable, and worth every peso. The service began with welcome drinks and cold towels, and after I mentioned my son and I were celebrating, they brought us a complimentary birthday cake. The staff stayed warm and attentive throughout. Traveling with a toddler as a family of three, the free airport transfer made a big difference. Everything was smooth and stress-free. The hotel is also conveniently located, just a 2 to 3 minute walk from White Beach in Boracay Island, with places like 7/11 close by. We enjoyed the amenities at COAST Boracay: comfortable sun beds, fresh towels, cold water, sand toys for the kids, and visible security while swimming. For a small extra fee, we had breakfast by the beach at Cha Cha’s Beach Cafe. The food was superb, especially the Ube Champorado. We also tried the complimentary plated breakfast, The Hangover, and the portions were generous enough to feel like a buffet. A great value, genuine hospitality, and a birthday stay we'll always remember. Blue Marina deserves more attention. Thank you! 🥰

Blue Marina is on the quieter side, away from the beach crowds and noise, which is why I prefer it to Coast. We also got to use Coast’s facilities, so it was nice to relax by the pool after a beach visit or a meal out. The hotel was clean, and we loved the free breakfast. It kept us full until after lunch. The staff we met were all friendly and accommodating, and the airport pickup, check-in, and return transfer were smooth and convenient. You get what you pay for. I'd book with them again, 10/10.

We came back to the same family of hotels after staying at The COAST on our previous trip, this time choosing sister property Blue Marina for a lower price. We weren't sure what to expect, but the hospitality and service were astonishing. The included transfers made arrival very easy: a driver took us to the port, we crossed to Boracay in their private boat, then another driver brought us to the hotel. We didn't have to touch our luggage until unpacking in the room. The entrance is a modest little alley, barely a minute from the beach, but don't let that put you off. Jutic recognized us from COAST and greeted us warmly. He opened the door, helped with our bags, and was always smiling. He's one of our favorite staff members and really shines at Blue Marina. Our room was quiet, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was dreamy, the linens smelled lovely, and it even had down pillows, which you rarely find at this price point. A daybed could fit a third person. For my 50th, they left a fruit basket and a huge slice of birthday cake, so thoughtful. We also appreciated the complimentary COAST branded beach bags, hand sanitizer, and flip-flops. Breakfast was included as a plated meal with several choices, and Mindy and I both liked the beef tapas. We also paid 280 Pesos one morning to upgrade to The Coast's beachfront buffet. Our favorite perk was shared use of The Coast's pool and beach lounge chairs, where we relaxed each morning. The beach attendants, Ben and Ben, were especially great. They were there when we came out of the water with fresh towels over our shoulders and ice-cold water at our chairs. We're definitely recommending Blue Marina for its great value and outstanding service, and hope to return soon.
