Surfside Boracay Resort

We ended up eating at the restaurant at least four times, in addition to breakfast each day. The food is fab and reasonably priced, and there are a few vegetarian choices. The sizzling tofu is 10/10. The staff were lovely too. Our large, clean, comfortable room had a balcony, fridge and table, things many hotels don't offer. Booking online can feel risky, but I think we really lucked out here. The hotel is right on the beach at station 1, which I prefer because it's quieter and less crowded. Station 2 is hectic, but only a 10-15 minute walk away if you want the crowds. Honestly, staying here helped make our time in Boracay. It had everything we needed, with no complaints at all 😊

The free breakfast that came with our booking was a real highlight, with lots of menu options, from Japanese dishes to Filipino food. We stayed for a week in the suite with a patio and a nice beach view. The room isn't new, but it's clean and well kept. The staff were kind and attentive to what we needed. The beach here isn't crowded, so swimming was lovely. If you're after a quiet place to relax, give it a try.

The spa's massagers are very good with their clients, and it is 50% off. The resort is at Station 3, quiet and secluded compared with Stations 1 and 2, where there's loud music. If you want a stress-free place with no noise, this is a good fit.

The Japanese-inspired food and the restaurant's ambience were lovely, and I got an incredible massage at the Yasuragi Relaxation Spa next door. The rooms are clean, and the staff looked after us really well, always nice and accommodating. I loved staying at Surfside, away from the loud, crowded parts of Station 2. 10/10, I'll stay here again!
