I stayed at the newly opened Shangri la resort with my girlfriend back in may. The place was truely fantastic. I loved the open feel and the large layout of the resort. Everything was nicely designed and definitely to the shangri la standard. The rooms were a bit pricey but definitely spectacular. I did have some problems with the food... more

We spent three nights at the resort last week, and was pleasantly surprised by the level of service and attentiveness. The airport transfer -- a van pick up to the a private jetty port lounge, and a quick speed boat transfer to the resort -- reminds of the old days of transferring to White Beach, avoiding the traffic of the... more

Right from the start you know this is going to be an experience. Quick and easy pick up from the airport with refreshments and towels waiting at the port. Then onto a clean, new, speed boat, which takes you to the island in 10 minutes, about 4 times faster than the standard pump boats. You will be greeted like royalty... more

I am a frequent Shangrila patron, having visited most of their properties, so have experience and expectations. The rooms are beautiful and the people generally excellent. However, I felt misled by their website which states that there are numerous restaurants available. While we were there, only two were open and operating. Some dishes and wines were unavailable and no apologies... more

we stayed at villa #6 they call it villa kanluran.. we have a nice plunge pool and two outdoor rain forest showers. the villa was huge and got a fresh look.. they dont have a dress code during dinner and its shocking to see sleeping clothes and bathroom slippers in this mega expensive philippine resort. the buffet breafast was fine... more

We spent a long weekend in the Shangri-La Boracay in May 2009. Service: Our bag was collected for us in the airport by their uniformed porter and brought to the first lounge away from the small, crowded airport. Then were then brought to the very nice dock lounge for drinks before our speed boat to the island. A very fast,... more

Most reviews have been accurate. I wish to highlight the Sunset in Boracay particularly a spot at the Shang which I believe is very much ignored. The "wantilan" (to be very Balinese about it) at the lap pool is BEST SPOT to enjoy privately the sunset in Boracay. Press the button to activate the jacuzzi and ask the pool attendant... more

READ THIS WHOLE THING! so far, this is the BEST hotel i have ever stayed at. some may say it is too expensive, because most places in the philippines do not cost nearly as much. however, by american standards, at $400 a night you dont even get HALF the stuff at an american hotel that you do at shangri-la. the... more

his place really defined Shangri-la!!! A speed boat will pick you up and go directly to Shang's dock port. From there you will see and feel the warmth and distinct customer experience! A golf cart aka "buggy" will drive you going to the lobby lounge and again, the staff of Shang will welcome you with all smile! For the price,... more
