Shangri-La Boracay is lauded by many for its idyllic, secluded location away from the bustling main beach, with a clean, private beachfront and plenty of activities. The tranquil and luxurious ambiance, coupled with well-maintained, spacious rooms offering ocean views, is popular among guests. They also appreciate the array of amenities including private beaches, family entertainment zones, and private butler service. However, some travelers felt the overall value didn't match the cost due to occasional issues with service and amenities. Cleanliness is generally highly rated, despite an isolated complaint about a moldy bathroom.

    ...It's quite their music are thought well you won't hear karaoke songs in there, the volume is also descent you can hear it but it does not overshadow the wave sound... They were expecting the drummers to be there to play drums for the sunset but instead an acoustic... I don't want to be mean but seriously no one was taking notice of the acoustic band except for the staff... The guest at Serina did not appreciate the band either I guess for people who comes from the city, they go to luxury resort to unwind and experience peace... The last thing they'd want are acoustic band...

    ...Anyway, definitely go to Serina but my tip is to book the 17,000 in advance for the cabana it's credited to your bill... They had chairs laid out and not one soul was there the management should really think it through because it's costing them and it's not exactly entertaining the guest... Their pool NEEDS to be heated seriously this is a must!... Send one of your staff in there on their so called event and see for yourself how empty the very loud event is... I think most people would rather pay so much more but get relaxing vacation than pay cheap and get so stressed and annoyed...

    ...Instead of being angry, I made a list of things that Shangri-La can improve on: 1) redo your bathroom floors, looks moldy and rotten 2) if I asked for tea, I shouldn’t have to repeat myself 3) I know check out is at 12, I shouldn’t have to be called a million times to remind me that checkout is 12, I’m not incompetent 4) free breakfast is going to be busy, staff it well and expect it to be 20x busier 5) I ordered room service and the food wasn’t cooked , I was in the bathroom nonstop 6) their vegetable rolls was 1/5, need a new recipe, make it better 7) Would I ever come back to this place?...

    White glove service from arrival at MPH... They took our bags and we were driven in a comfortable air conditioned van ride to the pier where we waited in a comfortable lounge with complimentary espresso, tea and cold towels for freshening up...

    ...From the time we arrived, the transport service and the check in process, everything was smooth and staff was accommodating... The breakfast buffet is also a top notch!... The reason why I’m giving 4 stars is because when we booked the Villa, we were told we would have a butler, but we actually don’t... They just tell people you have a butler but it’s really just a hotel staff that you call and they come and assist you... It’s like calling a housekeeping services or a room service... I ended up just calling the hotel operator for anything for my entire stay... The sliding door lock, the soak tub knob to locked water and the iron as well...

Just, the host at the Vintana was really helpful getting us a cake from the bakery for my daughter birthday... The Shangri La will still accommodate your transfer back to the airport upon request using their speedboat and van service... In addition, they have a free shuttle scheduled to D’mall if you want to have dinner outside the resort...

    ...I have to say it was one of the best decision's we have ever made... After arriving at the airport, we were looked after every step of the way, on the speed boat I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming, it was super easy and all staff we dealt with were so very welcoming, the best smile in the world is surely that of the Filipino!... We needed to depart early on our last day and were kindly prepared a packed breakfast with sandwiches and fruit... Thank you to all the wonderful staff and also management for creating such a good culture that makes guests feel welcome...

    Service from arrival was good and accomodating... Our suite was spacious and clean and our butler Vicente was very good in looking after us... Only after 3 days we were able to avail a place.It has a lovely beach but the beach next in Moevenpick is much better... Food was good in Rima and service was good too., but less in other restaurants... The gym was well equipped and looked after... Service was good but sometimes not consistent... To sum it up, i would go back but we will stay in the lofts, more private, better view and we can have in room breakfast...

    ...White glove service from arrival at MPH. We were greeted at the baggage area of Caticlan airport... They took our bags and we were driven in a comfortable air conditioned van ride to the pier where we waited in a comfortable lounge with complimentary espresso, tea and cold towels for freshening up... After a short wait we were taken by private motor boat direct to pier side at Shangrila (about 20 minutes) where we were transported to the lobby for effortless checkin and offered fresh calamansi juice... They allowed us free early checkin which was an unexpected surprise... The staff was courteous and took initiative to offer to take our pictures on several occasions... Rain shower direct from ceiling with really hot water and a lot of spray power... Omelette station, fresh made to order eggs (eggs in Philippines have deeply colored rich yolks probably because of a lack of large scale factory farming)... Multiple Infinity pools staffed by lifeguards warning us of the 2 meter deep section... The private beach exclusive to Shangrila was very nice even with rough water... Absolutely superb service and hotel facilities all around... I did not have one negative encounter with any staff members...

I would also like to thank Jessa from the adventure zone... She took very good care of my children, and they were sad to say goodbye to her...

    ...It's one of those hotel who takes care of you from arrival to departure... Which is nice because you go to resort hotel to sit by the beach listen to the ocean and enjoy that peace... Anyway, definitely go to Serina but my tip is to book the 17,000 in advance for the cabana it's credited to your bill... Otherwise you won't get a cabana they're almost always occupied or reserve... Also try the dinner by the beach it's very romantic as long as it does not rain hahaha... They had chairs laid out and not one soul was there the management should really think it through because it's costing them and it's not exactly entertaining the guest... Their Spa is beautiful definitely should not miss that, I love shopping as well in their shop you get a lot of clothes and bags that I assume (not sure) you won't find outside of Boracay... Their body oils and lotion smells really nice... Their pool NEEDS to be heated seriously this is a must!... I think most people would rather pay so much more but get relaxing vacation than pay cheap and get so stressed and annoyed...

    White glove service from arrival at MPH... They took our bags and we were driven in a comfortable air conditioned van ride to the pier where we waited in a comfortable lounge with complimentary espresso, tea and cold towels for freshening up... After a short wait we were taken by private motor boat direct to pier side at Shangrila (about 20 minutes) where we were transported to the lobby for effortless checkin and offered fresh calamansi juice... The grounds are stunning and perfectly manicured... They allowed us free early checkin which was an unexpected surprise... The staff was courteous and took initiative to offer to take our pictures on several occasions... Rain shower direct from ceiling with really hot water and a lot of spray power... Excellent quality soaps and shampoos... Breakfast buffet was the best I’ve ever had... Omelette station, fresh made to order eggs (eggs in Philippines have deeply colored rich yolks probably because of a lack of large scale factory farming)... Filipino food section (beef tapa, Pork Tocino, beef paras, chicken adobo, fish dishes), Carving section with ham and lechon, Siomai station, Chicken curry, roasted meats, spicy Korean chicken, sushi station, fresh vegetables and salads (best tomatoes I’ve ever had in Philippines) cheeses, homemade pancakes and waffles with Berry compote, homemade baked Filipino breads, fresh fruits (perfectly ripe mangos, watermelon, kiwis) freshly made juices (strawberry, honeydew melon, watermelon), homemade ice cream (strawberry, chocolate, ube, sherbet)... Multiple Infinity pools staffed by lifeguards warning us of the 2 meter deep section... The private beach exclusive to Shangrila was very nice even with rough water... I was able to snorkel and saw a few eels and several parrot fish and wrasses... As an added bonus we saw a few Philippine long tailed macaques directly in front of our balcony eating coconuts from the palm tree... Absolutely superb service and hotel facilities all around...

    I have stayed in a few Shangri-La hotels, and it's always a great experience! The room, the food, and the service are always excellent!... The buffet breakfast has expansive options... I'm never disappointed whenever I stayed in Shangri-La hotels...

    Excellent services by all the staff and great amenities- both in-room and overall resort amenities... Fun and huge entertainment hall... Good location since it is secluded from the noisy and congested main beach and both beach fronts are clean... My personal fave: the croissants from the Bakery...

    ...The hotel’s facilities were amazing and suited for families. Kids can enjoy their time at the adventure zone and the entertainment zone, which provides ping pong, basketball games, snooker, air hockey, and chess games etc... We really enjoyed the poolside restaurant Celio where they served a very delicious four cheese open pizza, as well as the Sirena restaurant which we highly recommend you to go there especially at 5, so you can watch the beautiful sunset with nice gin tonic... In the Vintana restaurant, there are many choices of breakfast... They provide different styles of breakfast like Western food, cheese and Chinese dim sum... Last but not least I would like to thank Hadjie, the room service staff that has been really helpful on the first day we arrived, Aeron from Vintana breakfast which has passion, and always had a smile on his face... Thank you Shangri-La Boracay, we will definitely miss you!...

    ...Staff are very well trained, friendly ( par for the course in the Phillipines) and anticipate your every need. The private beaches are gorgeous and are decked out with life guards, comfy recliners, towels and umbrellas... Rooms are very comfortable and have all expected amenities for a 5 star hotel... The grounds are beautiful and well maintained... As for the pool, it’s one of the best I have experienced in Asia... So easy to spend several hours relaxing, swimming, reading and then ordering something to eat and drink without leaving your recliner...

    ...The hotel resort made it more perfect. The moment we landed in Caticlan airport, we were met by the staff of Shangrila and assisted us to the shuttle and to their private sea port... The entire staff were courteous and helpful... Our entire stay in Shangrila is simply fantastic... The amenities, the room, the food, the staff, were all excellent... We went here for my wife's birthday, and she had a wonderful celebration... Our kids love the pool and the beach... Our balik-bayan friends also came by and they have nothing but good things to say about the resort...

    ...We stayed in a sea view suite for 3 nights and it wasn’t enough! Our butler Josephat made sure that everything was perfect... If you are looking for luxury, privacy or less crowd, this is the place for you...

We enjoyed our overall stay: - Special waiting area in the Caticlan port before riding the boat to the hotel. Water, coffee/tea, and cookies while you wait. - Fast travel to the Shangri-la jetty so it is convenient - Buggies to go to different places - Friendly staff from front office, housekeeping and drivers - Free shuttle to go to DMall - Good aircon, fast WIFI everywhere, and many amenities (we enjoyed the kids playground, the entertainment room where we played billiards, board games, etc.) - Shangri-la has its own beaches to avoid the crowds - Great rooms, beautiful design

Hotel's Favorite
This was my third time staying at the Shangri-La Boracay and it did not disappoint. Everything about the experience was fantastic and I could not have asked for anything better. From the moment of arrival at the airport, we were taken care of by all staff. We had actually caught the tail-end of a typhoon and there were severe delays with the flight and access to the boat to take us to the island - all attendants did everything they could to try to make the situation as comfortable as possible. Once we were at the resort, the staff were so friendly and warm and it felt genuine. Walking the grounds, using the amenities, taking the shuttle and dining in the restaurants were all made better by their friendly staff. "Aeron" was a staff member who was extremely kind and thoughtful. On our last day, he changed our seating at the restaurant so we could have a better outdoor view while we dined. I know he was busy trying to maintain the basic dining area and keep everything clean and organized, but it was so nice of him to take the time to out make sure we would have a nice experience. Besides the amazing service, the food (especially the food at Vintana, their breakfast buffet), was awesome. An incredible selection of mostly Filipino food, this was a great way to start the day. All items were fresh and tasty - breads, pastries, cheeses, cooked meats, sushi, authentic jams, fresh juices and smoothies, flavorful ice cream - everything was fantastic. If you're looking for an awesome experience and you want to have incredible food, definitely stay at this amazing resort!

Shangri-La Boracay is simply the best place to stay in Boracay. It is a bit more expensive than other accommodations but the facilities, staff, food and accommodations are 5-star in every way. We truly loved our experience and would not stay anywhere else if we ever return to Boracay.

Great hotel, amazing staff and top-notch service. The entire experience was seamless from check-in to check-out. I highly recommend the restaurants in the hotel, they’re the best restaurants on the island. The spa was amazing too, it was relaxing and comfortable. Stay at the Shangrila when you visit Boracay Island

The Shangri-La experience is on a different level, the facilities are first rate and the team have the ability to effortlessly provide everything that their guests need and sometimes provide services that you don’t think you need until they’re there. Our amazing tree villa provided sea views that were simply breathtaking from the hot tub. Recommend snorkelling to see the giant clams.. then visiting the ice cream stand for delicious refreshment. Restaurants are great and with regular shuttles into the centre, you can get enjoy the best that Boracay has to offer.

Came earlier this week to have dinner at Rima and also check out the resort for future trips to Boracay. I was choosing between Shangri-La and the nearby Crimson Resort for this trip but ended up going with Crimson because it’s much newer (built in 2018 vs. built in 2009), and I am so glad I chose Crimson. The good reviews here seem to be from people who don’t regularly stay at luxury properties worldwide, and decided to splurge on the Shangri-La Boracay for a special occasion like an anniversary or honeymoon. If you fall in this category, I would advise you to spend your splurge booking elsewhere because you are being shortchanged. I don't typically leave bad hotels reviews as I prefer to focus on celebrating hotels that exceed expectations, but this place left a very bad taste in my mouth. First impression is that the Shangri-La is far past its prime, just a very gloomy and dilapidated feeling that needs to be remedied urgently with a thorough round of renovations, especially at the prices they’re charging for their rooms. The grounds are also much larger than you’d expect, which I personally am not a fan of because this means having to wait for a buggy to go anywhere. If you enjoy that secluded vibe, perhaps this aspect might not be a problem for you. What truly knocked this review down a huge notch, was the resort staff, and especially the security team. Walking into the lobby, you are not warmly greeted by reception staff like you would be at any other half-decent resort. Instead, they were entirely nonchalant, and I was then confronted by their security personnel with a brusque and unfriendly, “How can I help you?”. I understand that it is important to make sure that the grounds are kept safe and perhaps security might be a big issue at this resort (yikes...), but I am a very seasoned traveler with membership tiers of at least Platinum or higher at the big loyalty programs (and while Shangri-La isn’t usually my top choice for hotels, I am still a Jade member at Shangri-La Circle), and in none of the 5/6-star hotels or other Shangri-La properties I’ve been to either as a hotel guest or simply as a visitor was I interrogated as often as I was than at Shangri-La Boracay. I’d already told the security personnel at the lobby that I was here for dinner at Rima, and wanted to take a look at the resort before I went for my dinner. Somehow, he still chose to tail me around the resort like I was some dangerous fugitive, constantly asking me what I was doing there, and acted like he was escorting a contagious patient to quarantine when he corralled me to the restaurant. Not only that, almost every staff member I ran into kept asking me what my room number was, which would have annoyed me immensely if I were a hotel guest here to relax. When I told them I wasn’t a hotel guest, they would then ask what hotel I was staying in. How is the hotel I’m staying in relevant? If I wasn’t staying in another 5-star resort on the island, would they have treated me even worse perhaps? I am a well-dressed, well-spoken, petite 5'3" woman in my 30s, so it wasn’t as if I looked like some unkempt thug or rowdy teenager who wandered in off the street. What kind of security threat could I possibly have posed? How was any of this necessary at all? If the resort was at maximum capacity, I could maybe understand that they didn’t want outside guests walking around and crowding up the place, but the resort was practically empty, which says a lot in itself. I was literally the only diner at Rima when I got there. Needless to say, I will not be staying at the Shangri-La Boracay on my next trip to the island, and am perfectly happy to rebook at Crimson. I had some friends visit me at Crimson during my stay, and not once were they made to feel unwelcome by the Crimson staff despite the staff not knowing they were my guests until they saw me with them. That, is proper 5-star service. Shangri-La Boracay would do well to train its staff better to recognize what a suspicious person actually looks like, rather than harass a potential guest who was there to dine at one of their restaurants. Overall it seems that the staff have gotten far too complacent that Shangri-La is the only big name resort on the island, and have developed a very unwarranted "better-than-thou" arrogance about it. Higher price does not equate to better experience in this instance. The second star is only because the food and service at Rima was fine, and they had decent vegetarian options. The restaurant staff actually invited me to come back again to try more items on their menu, but considering my experience simply walking around the resort, I highly doubt I’ll do that.
