“Paradise on Earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Boracay and Discovery Shores ticked every box of Paradise. The only downside is that nothing now comes close and we find ourselves wishing every hotel was like Discovery Shores. The level of service received in this hotel was outstanding and a special mention has to go to Jigs who was like our own personal butler. He was "outstanding" and made the holiday feel like a once in a lifetime dream vacation. He remembered our names, what we liked to drink, how many cushions/towels we liked. We got our sunglasses polished, ice cold face towels, ice cold fresh water, exotic fruits, chocolate lips, all this whilst sitting on huge double loungers overlooking crystal clear waters and powder white sands. This place really is heavenly and we literally cried when we left. The two bedroom suite we stayed in was awesome and we were greeted by a foot massage from the minute we arrived. From beginning to end it was first class!

Room Tip: The two bedroom suite was out of this world. It was on a high floor looking straight out to the beau...

“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

people found this review helpful

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
