im one of those low-budget local tourists who love boracay!!! so for me, this hotel is the real deal! i actually forgot the exact cost per night but i stayed their for 4 nights. it has a buffet breakfast which was included in the accommodation, the room is nice, it can fit 3? 4? adults. outside the hotel, you can enjoy the thick sand.. a 5-minute walk to d' mall, to buffet seafood lunch/dinner..

We stayed a week at the LaCarmla because they had a weekly flat rate that was cheap. The rooms looked clean compared to the others in our budget that we viewed all along the beach.

Our stay:

Large room with mini fridge, air con - clean but did see coach roaches on occasion.

English TV - watched ellen and oprah

We didn't use the pool but it looked like it was mostly filled with children.

24 hour room service was great and they deliver beer (decent prices).

Food was terrible.

Staff was friendly.

Laundry service was great, only cost a couple bucks.

Felt very safe - security guards were outside of the entrances 24 hours.

We had a safe in the room which was included.

Over all it is good for the price. It is located in station 2. I wouldn't recommend staying in station 3, the beach or buildings are not nearly as nice as station 1 or 2. We walked to station 3 one day and never went back.

My third visit to La Carmella and first since 2009 and I was pleasantly surprise. I had heard the renos were not cool, but the room was much nice, very fresh. Mattress was a bit hard for me, but acceptable.

New front desk in off the side by the laneway leaves more room for inside dining, however I didn't avail myself of the food. My friends did for breakfast and said the buffet was nothing special but not bad.

Biggest issue was service. Any requests were granted with a smile, but never happened. If there was a problem, they either didn't understand or denied that it was a problem.

Other than that, I would stay at this hotel again, good and central, the bar service was ok, the staff pleasant. One hint, if you want your room cleaned, put the Clean My Room sign out, otherwise they don't.

For 3D2N - Staying at Executive Delux Room -I would say the level of service by the staff and amenities are quite acceptable, though not superb.
Every floor has available water dispenser, so no need to buy water from outside.
Beside our room (3rd Level Main) have several renovations going on so the hallways smells paint.
Water supply is good, toilet shower could have provided a curtain (if they are saving cost) to avoid water from splattering in the lavatory area.
Cleanliness of the hotel are acceptable, since it is expected to have some sands everywhere their facilities.
Good Location (midway from Station 1 and midway from Station 3). Only Downside is their breakfast which they could have lessen the variety but at least increase the quality of their food.
Prepare 2Kphp as deposit for the room.
