Monaco Suites de Boracay Hotel

During the booking time, a few months ago, me and my partner were reluctant to book this resort as we couldn’t find any recent reviews about it. But we took the risk hoping that we would get a good surprise. So we arrived in the evening, although the place was well lit we couldn’t really appreciate anything as we were tired and hungry from the long days travel. The guard that welcomed us was very accommodating and polite, he sent us to the reception down the hill. Miss Arla, the receptionist was very sweet and polite, although she was experiencing a little problem with our reservation she handled us well without panicking. She called the manager on duty for assistance and Mr Ulysis came to welcome us pleasantly and solved the problem in no time, then sent us to our room in villa 1. We did not expect to be in a beautiful suite. Having a very spacious living room to welcome us was already a surprise, not to mention finding a spacious balcony overlooking the sea and some parts of the islands… “this is executive” the ensuite king bedroom makes you feel like royalty. The place was spotless, well organised and really spacious. House keeping serviced the villa everyday, so when they say clean, it is spotless. Now let’s go to the restaurant. Breakfast - the breakfast was good, they have 3 options to choose from, The serving was decent (but for a hungry person that loves food, buffet would be best to go for) although they will give you more if you ask. Room service meals - limited but was delicious, we had their monaco burger, again a decent portion, enough for most people, but my partner wants more like double up side dishes. (He is not fat, he just works out hard 1 to 2 hours a day. He’s a burpee addict) Dinner - boodle fight menu is a must try..pictures of before and after meal is attached. Of course their a la carte menu couldn’t be beaten either. The steak and beef salpicao was super delicious, this time the two of us wished to have more side dishes as the food makes you want to eat more 🤤 Our clean plates attached as a proof…no single grain is left on it 🤭 Beach - “THIS BEACH IS A PARADISE” peaceful, so naturally beautiful. The green stuff is seaweed and comes from the natural habitat, most people see it unpleasant. In the morning, the tide is low, so you can go for a walk and explore the shoreline and observe some rock formations. In the afternoon the tide is high, then you can enjoy a dip as the beach is not really suitable for swimming unless the water is high enough for you. We spent our morning and afternoon here in peace, no crowds, just me and my partner relaxing, enjoying the tranquility. Yes, not everyone’s cup of tea, most prefer to go to the most crowded areas like station 2 or D’mall. Transport - they offer a free shuttle service from the hotel daily and hourly from 7am to 5pm to D’mall or station 2 and return also hourly from 7:15am to 5:15pm. Pick up area is at Jolibee(the driver will point it out as reminder when you get there) Or you can book privately anytime to go anywhere from 300php. Staff - every single member of staff we encountered here were all smiling, very polite and accommodating. Thank you all. We will definitely come back and hope to be served by the same members of staff with 5 star service. Happy New Year 🥳
