We were in Boracay from May 30-June 2, 2011 for a family outing. We were a group of 14 adults and kids, and we all enjoyed our stay at Canyon de Boracay. They were on a transition period that time due to changes in management but just the same, the experience was very pleasing. The staff were very accommodating and saw to it that the guests are comfortable and happy. It was our 2nd time in this resort and would never tire of coming back...

Tips: Rooms and beds are big, can comfortably fit 6 people in a room; small private pool perfect for children for easy supervision

We had a mini-family reunion at Asya Boracay. Half the family travelled from Aus and the other half from UK. And what a wonderful place to meet up. It's not a beach front hotel so you don't get the noise and busy-ness that comes with beachfront traffic and it only adds to the feeling of tranquil and serenity. We booked three large Deluxe Suites and as were were all travelling together they went out of their way to accomdate us and put us all on the same floor and near each other. We were also travelling with four young children (all under the age of 8) and as you come to expect with the Filipino culture the staff were more than helpful with the children. At meal times, they were happy to engage with them and at times kept them busy and entertained leaving the adults to eat in peace. The breakfast was fantastic. When we did eat lunch or dinner at the Resort, the food was delicious but sometimes the service was a bit slow. Overall, we really enjoyed our mini-reunion and it was made more enjoyable by the facilities and staff from ASYA. We will definitely come back.

A piece of paradise. Good staff. Good service. Very comfortable. We' d like to return.

Location - The hotel is located at Station 2, off the beach (2min walk from beach front). The walk is ok even at night as there is a police station along the way and Boracay is always full of tourists walking around anyways.

Do you need to stay on the beachfront? Not if you are planning to stay around Station 2 & 3. The beach in these areas are very crowded so even if you stay at a beach front hotel, you wouldnt get the privacy or quiet. Also, most of these beach areas are public so you can stay at Asya and bring your towel to the beach to sit.

Asya has a private cove (by van 10 mins) where you can get your on-the-beach experience. The sand there isnt as amazing as the usual Boracay sand but the cove is quiet and has deck chairs, kayaks etc to entertain you.

If you really want a beach experience, stay at Station 1.

Rooms - The rooms are nice but not 5-star hotel kinda nice. Spacious bathroom.

Food - Breakfast is nothing to rave about. Limited selection.

Boracay in general - Its a good mix of a holiday place although not really specialising in any category. Sea (algae filled in Feb) and sand (powder white), some diving (not great but pretty and close by), lots of restaurants to choose from, good selection of bars (therefore not quiet, unless you are at Station 1), some shops to entertain you. Great place to go for a group holiday but if you are looking for something quiet and romantic and secluded, maybe not (unless you stay in a resort in Station 1 and never leave).
