My wife and I came to Boracay for the first time for a 3 day stay during our 3 week visit to the Philipines, (also a first). We stayed for 2 nights at another place the other side of the main road in station 3,1 minute walk from the beach. Whilst wandering along the beach on the second day, we... More

Lovely hotel, amazing location! the view from room 209 is juts breathtaking! Basic decor and facilities, but staff is really helpful and polite, so couldn't fault it in any way. The only problem was, that our room had the noisiest aircon ever! but you do get used to it...

It has now been 12 days since i stayed in Crystal Sand Resort and I m still itching and in serious discomfort from being savaged by bed bugs there. I ve travelled a lot in the past 15 years to various parts of the world, stayed in cheaper and more basic accommodation and never had this happen to me before.... More

In my first trip to Boracay in 2001, this hotel came highly recommended. It is indeed beachfront and elegant. Even got more appealing when they built a Starbucks nearby. It has an outdoor dining patio fronting the water; it is steps away to bars and restaurants, and kid/elderly friendly. This is our family favorite. I love everything about it except... More

After being away from college buddies for 18 years, we arranged for a getaway to reconnect and renew our friendships. Although we came at the busiest time in January, we got a great price for a 3 day 2 night stay because we were checking out on Saturday, which was just in time to avoid the onslaught of numerous tourists...

You know when you say you want to get away and just relax. This is the place. No side trips no tourist days, just sit on the beach and relax and watch the sunsets. The most beautiful white sand. I went in November the perfect weather for the area. Fly from Manila to Caticlan on Cebu Pacific, take a motorized... More

Stayed here twice. Not the best hotel on the island, but be sure, it is the best location. Very close to the beautiful beach and ocean. As the island is getting more and more crowdy, the location is remarkable quiet as there is a short distance to bars and other restaurants. Rooms are in need of some paintwork and renewal.... More

We always go to Boracay every year for more that 10 years but it's our first time to stay in Crystal Sand. Hotel Room: The best beach front view ever! The room is not 5-star but it's spacious, and again, the view! The balcony/terrace is huge with 2 beach chairs, and a table if you want to eat out there.... More

I've only stayed here once but definitely plan to again. I stayed in room 105 which is as beachfront as it's gonna get. I was literally 15 steps away from the sand (okay, maybe 20) and this is important to me especially when traveling alone. I usually bring a few things out with me when I lay out on the... More
