“Boracay's #1 or #2 Depending on Personal Preference”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Without a doubt, Discovery Shores and Shangri-La Boracay are the 2 best resorts in the island. Whichever comes out on top is going to boil down to personal preference with each resort having its pros and cons.

Service is truly impeccable, rooms are minimalist but big enough. Beds were amazing. Food was good. Free shuttle service around the island. Private lounge at Caticlan airport.

My complaints: Slow Wi-Fi internet connection where you need to log-in every time you use. Windows are not sound proof; noise from the wedding reception is too loud for rooms near the beach. Small bathroom for some room types.

Suggestion for resort: Multilingual materials/brochures/menus considering the number of Chinese and Russian guests.

Room Tip: The farther away from the beach the better, in case there is a wedding reception going on.

“A real discovery!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

This hotel is located in the nicest part of Boracay beach end of Station 1, From the moment we arrived in Caticlan we had some one waiting to take care of us and transfer us to the hotel.
We had a wonderful vacation, rooms spotless clean a butler service in the beach to make sure that you had everything you needed to enjoy your day. Food in Indigo restaurant was quite good,Breakfast too Chinese for our taste. It is true that is expensive but the service is fantastic, until the last day you are pampered and taken all the way to check in your flight even offering you a private lounge in the airport not to seat in the small crowed hall of small Caticlan's Airport.
It really impressed us how clean the hotel management and the staff care about the beach keeping it so very clean. At the end was a so nice experience that I can't wait to be back.

“Perfect location, good vibe patchy service. Can't wait to go back though”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

Location is at the end of the main beach located at station 1. Don't stay at station two. It's very busy and not relaxing. From this hotel you have what feels like a private beach and yet only 10 min walk to the party scene

Service patchy and average food. First day we had lunch it was slow and by the time food came it was cold. No apology, apathetic staff. However next day we hit the jackpot in Jigs. Beach waiter who was a breath of Fresh air and made the stay very special

Some tips: anything mango is amazing at the hotel (drinks and food). Avoid the caparinhas at happy hour. Watery

Use the water sports coordinator at hotel. Great value. Do a catamaran and snorkel with BBQ on a private beach at sunset. Super cheap and highlight of holiday

“Love love love Discovery Shores!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Did some extensive research on hotels at Boracay since it was my first time going there. So I went with Discovery Shores. And I am so glad I chose them! I'm one for quality and most especially service, and they gave 100% for both areas! I am super thankful for the effortless transfer from Kalibo to the jetty port in Caticlan (something I was really worried about). Everything was planned out and it definitely worked out. I booked and arranged everything while I was still here at the states, and communicating via email was no hassle with them, you get a reply and answers.

The staff was one of the major factors that I loved about the hotel, very friendly and efficient! And of course the location and the hotel itself was beyond great! From the wonderful and clean rooms to the white beach right outside. And they just made me more happy with little gestures and little surprises they have waiting for you! I appreciate everything from the small things to the major factors, they definitely deserve all the praise. I just loved it so much and WILL be back! I have nothing but good words to say. Til next time! =)

“Amazing Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Althought the resort is very expensive, the impeccable service justified for that. I suggest this resort for whom would like as such a kind of special staying with high level service and beautiful resort, clean and very comfortable, we have been stayed in Discovery it was a the most pleasure time in Boracay.
