Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay

Perfect hideout getaway with huge comfortable beds and excellent service

It was far enough away from the other stations that we felt like the beach was ours. We stayed in shoulder season so the weather was good and the crowds were low yet the service was still excellent and all our needs were catered for, the staff made us feel incredibly welcomed and looked after. We easily spent some of our entire days at the resort and didn’t go anywhere as the venue had everything we needed. The evening entertainment was excellent and high quality, the resort had a lovely open feel and the restaurants were great too. The in-house Filipino and Italian menus were delicious as well as the cocktails and the free chocolate buffet each day. The bed was a proper superking and didn’t have one of those uncomfortable zippers running underneath. Some days we were lazy enough to get room service breakfast which was equally delicious. Some might not like it being so far from the other stations - for me it was perfect because it was like a very secret hideout. Only one other hotel shared the beach.

Cons The one bad thing - THE COFFEE!!!! I don’t know how they got the coffee so wrong, and defaulting to putting cinnamon on each one made it worse. Although to be fair - the whole island had bad coffee so maybe it’s just not a speciality there.

Facilities and staff

Cons Distance, cost of etrike from movenpick to the different stations

Staff were exceptional and very helpful. The breakfast and chocolate time were very good. The beach was beautiful, and I loved the massive pool, I also used the gym, which was quite well equipped for my needs. It was calm and peaceful and I was upgraded to a beautiful suite with balcony.

Cons Depending on your needs, people may find the hotel a bit far from the centre. Around 15-20 minutes. They provide a shuttle every 4 hours or you can pay 300 php for a tuktuk. Please note the transfer from the airport took almost 2.5 hours due to waiting for the boat. However, the return only took 1 hour as departure is closer apparently. This is good to know if you're only coming for the weekend.

Perfect for families with infants. Fantastic breakfasts

Activities for kids

Cons - Very expensive cost of transfer. You can find easily round trip from airport to movenpick without hassle just for 1250php per person - rooms with connecting door. Too much noise from neighbors.
