These are 2 different resorts. The Crown Regency is beachfront. Crown Regency PRINCE (emphasis on PRINCE because I guess its smaller) is like a 5 minute walk from the beach. I've stayed on both so here's my side:

Crown Regency - beachfront, bigger, bathroom's bigger, spacious hallways, big swimming pool, bar, in house restaurants

Crown Regency PRINCE - a lil farther from the beach, has 24/7 Convenience Store (Thats the name of the actual store, no pool, accessible for trike rides.

I booked via hotels.com and got a 30% off (PHP2700.00 per night) so I decided to try staying at Crown Regency Prince. I've been to Boracay 20 times and bathrooms are very important. At Prince, it's kinda small, but it was VERY clean. We're mostly out in the sun, but we do appreciate clean rooms. Clean Sheets. Clean Floor. If I understood them correctly, ALL their rooms have 2 Double Beds. Flat screen TV, complimentary coffee, sugar, water pot, clean towels, toiletries. Aaaaaand it has a balcony. It also had very thick curtains to block off the sun. Crown Regency has it too plus a pool. But with a nice beach like that, we didn't need a pool.

Breakfast was nasty. There were few people there so no buffet. Instead, we were cooked 1 big breakfast. I chose the longganisa (filipino sausage) and something else. Not yummy. Not even the scrambled eggs. =( Life's too short to eat too much oil. Just eat elsewhere. Bread at Julie's just P5.00.

If the room rates are the same, then of course, bigger's normally better. But if you find one at a cheaper rate, I suggest you weigh your options.

Have a great summer!

golf nearby is excellent and easy to get to~location is good~complimentary breakfast was great~we would stay here again and do recommend! On the last day we had to check out before breakfast was served, so without a request a to-go breakfast was packed for us....really sweet!

We stayed 4 nights at Crown Regency, overall feeling for this hotel is too simple: not sufficient room amenities, shower is aways short of hot water at 7:30 - 9:00pm, swimming pool is too small and not available in our stay. But there are something facilitate us, eg. free wireless service in lobby, location is OK to beach and D mall, the most important point is the hotel rate is acceptable comparing to its provision. If you are really concern about multi-function and luxury, it's not a good choice. It just for a accommdation only

I stayed for one night at Crown Regency after 2 nights' stay at another resort hotel in Boracay, Alta Vista, but was greatly disappointed at Crown Regency. The hotel room was small, and the hotel did not provide in-room slippers, which was important especially for a beach front hotel because you would easily have sands all over in the room after returning from the beach, and if you don't have clean slippers to put on, you would just get sands all over your feet again after cleaning up yourself. I called the front desk to check, and they confirmed to me that they do not provide in-room slippers. What really shocked me though, was when I asked the front desk to mail two postcards WITH STAMPS ON THEM already, they said that they would charge a Php.20 fee per postcard!! I've traveled to many countries and stayed at a lot of hotels, and it was the first time I've ever heard that there's a surcharge just for mailing postcards.
