“Asya and Boracay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010
5
people found this review helpful

Location - The hotel is located at Station 2, off the beach (2min walk from beach front). The walk is ok even at night as there is a police station along the way and Boracay is always full of tourists walking around anyways.

Do you need to stay on the beachfront? Not if you are planning to stay around Station 2 & 3. The beach in these areas are very crowded so even if you stay at a beach front hotel, you wouldnt get the privacy or quiet. Also, most of these beach areas are public so you can stay at Asya and bring your towel to the beach to sit.

Asya has a private cove (by van 10 mins) where you can get your on-the-beach experience. The sand there isnt as amazing as the usual Boracay sand but the cove is quiet and has deck chairs, kayaks etc to entertain you.

If you really want a beach experience, stay at Station 1.

Rooms - The rooms are nice but not 5-star hotel kinda nice. Spacious bathroom.

Food - Breakfast is nothing to rave about. Limited selection.

Boracay in general - Its a good mix of a holiday place although not really specialising in any category. Sea (algae filled in Feb) and sand (powder white), some diving (not great but pretty and close by), lots of restaurants to choose from, good selection of bars (therefore not quiet, unless you are at Station 1), some shops to entertain you. Great place to go for a group holiday but if you are looking for something quiet and romantic and secluded, maybe not (unless you stay in a resort in Station 1 and never leave).

“A hidden gem in Boracay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010

person found this review helpful

Repeat visit from 2007. A lovely boutique hotel tucked between the boundary of Station 2 and Station 3.
The hotel is few metres away from the main beach but provides an access to a private cove exclusive to its guests. If you prefer of having your own beach away from the "maddening crowd", then the private cove will suit you. The private cove is a 10-15 min drive from the hotel and a shuttle service (twice daily) is provided for free. At the cove, use of snorkeling gear and kayak boats are free.
The hotel has 1 restaurant. Limited food selection but has the best pizza in Boracay. Price is very reasonable. Room service is available.
Rooms are well maintained, clean and spacious. No bath but big shower area. Basic toiletries provided. The sofa was converted to bed for our 4-yr old son. Our balcony overlooking the courtyard is quieter. The balcony overlooking the pool (where we previously stayed) can be noisy any time of the day due to guests using the pool. The mini-bar is stocked with generous initial complimentary beverages (beers and softdrinks).
The hotel has a lovely outdoor pool but no gym facilities.
The hotel is a 15 min walk to Station 2 where bars, restaurants (athough you will see some along the way) and the local mall are located. Station 1 can be a long trek. Suggest to take a shuttle or for fun try the local transport, Tricycle.
Buffet breakfast very average. Can do better. Prefer the previous arrangement of continental buffet plus your choice of a hot meal.
As this is our second visit, we were expecting the same travel arrangements we had before. Welcomed by a hotel representative at Kalibo airport, transferred by the private hotel shuttle/van to Caticlan then speed boat transfer to the hotel. All with the assistance of a hotel representative.
However, the Manila reservation office overlooked to inform us that evening arrivals are;
a. not welcomed by a hotel representative but by a bus organiser b. are to travel via tourist bus to Caticlan c. use the local motor boat together with the other tourists staying in various hotels. d: hotel representative will be at the Caticlan boat station with our own shuttle for the 15 min drive to the hotel.
Tips;
1. If staying during peak months (December onwards), book 6 months in advance or more if you will require more rooms.
2. Bring insect & mosquito repellent.
3. December to April is the best time to visit Boracay.
4. If buying anything, bargain, bargain, bargain.
5. Do not buy shells (big). As this is one of the items not allowed by the immigration to be taken out of Boracay.
Apart from the hiccup of our arrival, we had a lovely stay at Asya. Lovely rooms and good value for money. We met lovely people and the staff looked after us, friendly, polite and helpful.

“Great hotel, good location, and excellent service.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2010

The Asya Boracay staff was very helpful and provided great service all around. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Once you walk into the courtyard, you instantly feel relaxed. It's a short walk to the beach where there are many restaurants. I would not say the rooms are luxurious, but the service was 5 star. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

“Nice Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2010

They have their own speed boat!

Location: If you want the festive atmosphere of Station 2, this is not for you. The hotel is located in the border of Station 2 and 3, a little less crowded area. It is 3 minutes walk from the beach. Therefore, it is not a beach front property. And so i don't recommend this hotel to senior citizens and small kids. They have their own shuttle service in front of the hotel to and from the port.

Pool: Below average size but clean pool.

Hotel Atmosphere: Very pleasant and green.

Room: Clean, spacious and they have everything you need.

Service: Superb 5 star service.

Breakfast: Simple.

“Boracay vacation . . . a dream come true”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2010

I am a hotelier and I could say my expectations were high . . . but yet ASYA met all of it!

Our vacation in Asya was the best and second to none. The place is so relaxing, small but yet so beautiful. My fiancee and I would like to thank all the staff (can't name them all, too many to remember) and we salute them for a job well done! :) Staff are approachable and shown the highest standard of hospitality. I may not able to point out every detail of the vacation but I could testify to anyone that it's like a dream come true . . . a truly wonderful, amazing and relaxing vacation. :)

To see is to believe so better go and visit Boracay and stay in Asya, you won't regret it. if I were a Mystery Shopper, surely they'll get a 100% score.
