We rented the 2nd floor beach view for few days. Amazing view. Room is small, but clean and all you need is there and good quality (safe, bed..). Food served in the restaurant is very good. During our stay, we experienced a strong typhoon (urduja) that caused some severe water provider problems. The manager (Ethel, Chester and their team) have been great supplying us water proactively, in room food while we couldn't go out. it was extremely well appreciated. We couldn't try the diving facilities, but the equipment looked very recent and well maintained. Resort is well located, not far from the station good and quieter restaurants and bar, and also close to station 2 for more crowd and food options. It is also an intimate hotel, with very friendly and helpful staff.

Room tip: Ocean view rooms are offering good views, but people are passing in front. Maybe rooms at the back can be more quiet.

Guims,

Thank you for the wonderful review despite the inconveniences brought about by the typhoon. It certainly makes for a memorable experience. We are happy to know that we were still able to give you a wonderful stay here with us. We hope to see you again and perhaps we can take you diving and you the beautiful wonders underneath. Until then Happy New Year.

Lots of wonderful things to say. Food was good with lots of choices. We enjoyed a very special menu for Christmas Eve; outstanding 5-star 4-course meal. Rooms were very nice. Plenty of space in two connecting rooms for our family of four (two nearly adult teenage boys). Service was exceptional; 5-star friendly and attentive service. The staff was always ready with a smile and a greeting and always happy to help us with any request. The dive staff was very competent and flexible; perfect! Thank you all for a wonderful vacation it was difficult to say goodbye!

This resort really offers “world class service”, nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff.

We came in the midst of a typhoon, even whilst trapped on the mainland the Manager Chester was in regular contact offering advice and support-arranging all our transfers on and off the island. The hotel is absolutely lovely, the rooms and beds are really comfortable, next time I’ll go for a beach front room, but even facing the road the traffic wasn’t disturbing. The sunset views from the beach bar are gorgeous and happy hour cocktails were the perfect way to unwind after a day of diving. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. We were even invited to join their staff Christmas party, entertained by some hilarious dancing-the kitchen boys definitely deserved their win.

In terms of diving, Jenny instructed my sister for her advanced open water. She was incredibly patient and supportive. I did a series of fun dives with Marius, who was really friendly and made my dives enjoyably challenging and fun. From the wreck pens to the frog fish I could not have been happier with my dives. They are proud of their Green Fin status, even the resort’s water is heated by solar panel.

You are made to feel like part of the family, everyone knows you by name and you very quickly learn everyone else’s. When I return to Boracay, Watercolors is where I’m coming back to. I simply cannot effervesce enough.

Hello Andy,

Thank you for much for your wonderful review, and I'm very happy to hear that you had a great time staying and diving with us despite the challenges/inconveniences that the typhoon caused to your vacation. We certainly wanted to make your Boracay vacation as pleasant and memorable as possible. And judging by your comments I'm glad to hear that we were able to achieve both. On behalf of the staff here at WaterColors, we would like to thank you and Sarah for being such good sport and bearing with us while we try to overcome those problems. We wish all the best through the rest of your Philippines vacation, please do tell your friends all about us and we look forward to having you guys stay with us again.

If you are looking for a highly professional five shop, chose WaterColors! I just started and I took the course for the PADI Open Water and later the PADI Advanced Open Water. The team of WaterColors made the course the best possible experience. Even as a real beginner they show you the best spots. A real must do are the ship and plane wrecks during your Advanced course. Amazing!

Thanks to all of you - espacially Jenny: It was fun to dive with you!

Best, Andreas

P.S. They do serve a wide variety of food for breakfast, lunch or snacks in between your dives. With a stunning view of the White Beach (as you can see in the picture).

Andreas,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your dive courses with us, most especially since you were originally planning on only taking the PADI OW Course. Jenny certainly wishes to convey her sentiments that she enjoyed being your dive instructor. Most especially sharing her passion for the dive sites here in Boracay. We wish you all the best for the rest of your travel around SEA and we hope you enjoy your dives wherever they may be. Until then bon voyage.

We stayed there 3 nights (penthouse room) and We love every moment. Breakfast place near to sea was awesome. Nice hotel for couples and divers!

Main points:
-excellent staff, they help you with everything -best location on the island/beach
- Wi-Fi didnt work basicly at all In Our room. That was minus.
-Breakfast is ok

Even thought you dont dive, you can still choose this hotel. They have snorkling and other activities/things to do.

Overall, highly recommended place to stay in Boracay, thanks for helping us to have a great holiday!

Hotelli ei ole uusin ja hienoin, mutta hyvä palvelu ja saaren paras sijainti tekevät siitä yhden Boracayn parhaista majoituksista. Valkoinen ranta on jokaisen euron arvoinen!

Suosittelemme!

Hello 202artos,

Thank you for you wonderful review and for your feedback, yes we are currently working on ways to improve our internet connection. But thankfully we do have the beautiful white sand beaches of Boracay and the water and land activities that go along with it to keep you occupied. We are glad to hear that you had a great time and we do hope to see you again.
