Hotels in Manoc - Manoc, Boracay Island

There are two types of hotels in the world: those with management and those without. Paradise Garden falls in the latter, I'm sorry to say. For example, it took the friendly front office staff over an hour to check me in and the breakfast buffet is so overcrowded that there were no seats once you get your plate. Also, the wifi extended to the door of my room only so that I had to move the dest to the door to use wifi. Inside the room there is no wifi at all. This 1970's looking bare bones hotel is in a good location at Boat Station 3, just a little too far south of the action, and has huge grounds with several swimming pools. But the entire place has an unkempt appearance and needs a management team to remodel it entirely. I was there for a week in February and the weather was perfect.In all I ended up using over US $ 100 of T-Mobile international roaming data charges because the room had no wifi.

I like hotel-hopping whenever I'm on vacation. My favorite ones so far are the ones in Siargao and bgc but Astoria Current here in Boracay is one of my favorites now because of the great ambiance and personnel. Vibes are everything. Aesthetic, music, and people make your vacation worth it and it's 100% worth it here. Thanks also to Kevin for being great and accommodating! 💛

Only booked this hotel as it wasn't away fromy other hotel at 357 hotel as it was station 3 was thinking all hotes where quiet but as I was passing for food I couldn't believe what I was hearer the loudest music and this was only 11am so I went in to cancel the booking as we wanted a relaxing time not club land, but was talked into upgrading to a bigger room further away, I was shown the room and told by chrtitine that room wasn't rental out as it wS they told suite once in we sat to watc-nthe sunset then to be soaked from the top then realised it was the water from in infinity pool, so now we had a balcony that we couldn't use and 500£ for 3 night was shocking. The hotel staff didn't care or get the idea that I paid so much for this room because of the Seaview and we couldn't even sit on it as water came over like a waterfall.

We went to Boracay in July 2022 for 22 days and we spent our last 6 days in Golden Phoenix Hotel Boracay which was the best decision as we wanted to stay at Station 3 during our remaining days. This beachfront hotel is accessible through an access road from the main road which makes it easier to jump into an e-tricycle to go around the island and the White Beach Path for beach access. The staff were all nice especially the food and beverage team who were always there to assist us during our breakfast meals on the restaurant. Our room was located on the first level which was great because we were near the front desk, restaurant, beach and the pool. The hotel was built in 2009 so the amenities may not be updated such as there's no bidet in the toilet and I also wish that they have a retractable clothesline in the shower to hang our wet clothes on. But the classic wood furniture and beautiful lamps in the room really never gets old. We only went around Station 3 in those 6 days and I would say that it's one of my favorites areas in Boracay as it's a perfect fusion of the old and the new, as well as the perfect mix of locals and tourists. Overall, it was a wonderful stay at Golden Phoenix Hotel Boracay.

The place itself is nice and clean their staff are super friendly and quick to respond - very accommodating. But - If you are thinking of bringing a Senior / elderly family , it is not ADA recommended ( I’m an Occupational Therapist by profession) . Their ramp to get in and out of the restaurant and main building is not ADA recommended. Steps have no rails. The nearest entrance or alley to get to the resort is steep and rocky. Also , on our last day , I have placed a thank you note , a tip ( not a big amount) and left their complimentary red wine to the housekeeper , I placed everything on the table including the room key . Even my companions remembered seeing the key on the table. When I checked out they said they could not find it and I was charged 500 pesos for the room key. I know it’s their policy, but it’s absurd specially for people like me who booked this place online and paid 1,200 US dollars for 4 nights and still got charged for a room key that they can always replace (it’s a card key and not an actual key) .

The location is at Station 3. The most satisfying part was that the staff were very kind. Every time we met, all the staff greeted us with a smile, and check-in and check-out were quick and everything was good, but there were a lot of moths and bugs in the room, and even though it was a new hotel, it felt like something was outdated. The bathroom is larger than the room and the water pressure is high. Overall it's not bad, but I don't think I'll be going back.

Great Stay While in Boracay..even though we had a little difficulty in check in due to Peak Occupancy Rate. I still recommend this place. A few minutes walk from the beach... Great Swimming pool and nice comfy rooms. Not to mention their Buffet breakfast and Room Service Menu. Keep It Up

The hotel is located near the southern tip of Boracay's White Beach (further south than Station 3). But it is a very nice place. The hotel has a nice atmosphere and is not noisy at all. There is a room with a sea view above the attached restaurant, but the garden view room where I stayed is the best. There is no sound. When you hear White Beach, you have a noisy image, but it is really quiet because it is south of Station 3 and the garden view room is behind the back of another hotel building, so the sound is blocked. You don't have to see the sea. You can enjoy the luxury without sound in tourist spots. (Rooms above the restaurant with sea view will be noisy until late with music from the restaurant below.) Additionally, the room I stayed in, which was the cheapest room, was very clean, bright and spacious. I have no complaints. As for the meal, I went to a restaurant that is listed in the guidebook because I came all the way here, but I think the taste of the attached restaurant is better than that. Afterwards, I wished I had eaten all my meals here. If you say it forcibly, it doesn't come with water. It doesn't matter because you can buy it if you walk a little. Soap, towels (bath towels, beach towels, face towels), and toothpaste sets were included. If I go again, I will definitely stay here. I liked it that much. The staff was also nice with just the right amount of separation. (It's not for people who like to be friendly, but if you ask them, they'll answer. If you smile, they'll smile. When they pass each other, they'll say hello. I like that kind of distance.)

NOTE: There are two Nigi Nigi hotels, managed by the same company. One is Nigi Nigi Nu Noos. The other is Nigi Nigi Too, near the No. 1 boat station. TripAdvisor unfortunately combined the reviews of both. So also watch the part about Nigi Nigi Nunu Hotel, because some of it is also about Nigi Nigi Too. I've reported this to TripAdvisor several times, but to no avail. This review was likewise posted in the section on Nigi Nigi Nunu Hotel. The following are the comments about Nigi Nigi Too: I live in Nigi Nigi Too, which is very good. 1. The location of the hotel is super good. The hotel is located by the beach, at boat station 1. There are three boat stations along White Beach, which are no longer used as boat stations (just the name). Boat Station 1 is a quieter area of the beach. Boat station 2 and 3 are also within walking distance from the beach, there are hotels, restaurants and shops along the sidewalk, boat station 1 has no sidewalk and the hotel faces the beach directly. The beach here is very wide and not that crowded. Be aware that Boracay is very calm with very few waves so it is possible to walk quite a distance. About a ten minute walk to the center of the beach (near the main shopping area, D'Mall). The Nigi Nijinunu Hotel is located near the center of town. 2. The price is very reasonable including breakfast. I got a really good price on the site (there is also a 7 day discount here). 3. The hotel has an older wooden building with about 2 rooms (called ”traditional”), next to a larger 3-story concrete building, the ”traditional” rooms in the wooden building are cheaper. I stayed in one of the wooden traditional rooms. The room was large and had working air conditioning, a small fridge (a godsend!), toilet and shower. All wood is simple and very classy. The cable TV also had English channels and everything else in foreign languages. However, it is surrounded by trees, so it is very dark. Anyway, it was very comfortable and the room had a wooden deck with table and chairs. 4. In front of the beach is a very simple outdoor restaurant/bar. Nothing fancy, but relaxing and enjoyable. There are plastic tables and chairs. Breakfast is included in the room rate and there are three options (American, Filipino, Panamanian). The lunch and dinner prices are also very reasonable and the food is very good. This is a great place to stay with a view of the beautiful beach in front of you. , 5. There are rest tables and chairs on the beach in front of the hotel for guests to use. 6. The front desk and restaurant staff are very friendly and attentive. Overall, the price is very good, the location is excellent, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Very good value.

After our stay in a Diamond Suite in 2016 which was outstanding and a true paradise for us we decided to come back this year for one whole month and of course we had the same high expectations. The start was a little bit so so : We had to request for everyday housekeeping (which is not standard) and removing the garbage (because of the many ants) had to have a broken TV replaced and had some broken window shades replaced so nobody was able to look into te bedroom. Also we were a littlest disappointed about the scene. The nice helipad and the beautiful fountains were not working anymore and 1 swimming pool with had a stunning view over the ocean was gone. WiFi was and still is a NoGo. You will receive a voucher for 1-2 or 3 days which only can be used on 1 router. It's so slow and sometimes with heavy rain not working all This should be really improved. With 2 people and 3 devices we needed almost 30 vouchers. We do understand is was OFF season but every time we went to the restaurant for dinner we heard : NOT HAVE , NOT HAVE ( During the whole months there was no fish and pork available ) That being sad : We still had a great en relaxing time and we enjoyed our room with a stunning view and our own private beach. The staff was helpful ( as long as you ask them ) and we had a very pleasant time with the drivers since we invited them for a boodle fight on our expenses in their own private place which was an experience not to forget. Will we back ? No, but this has nothing to do with the resort. Boracay is not the same anymore as it was before. There is nothing going on on the beaches anymore and nothing is allowed. No more filedansers, no more sandcastles, no more music , no more beach dining NOTHING. This island will be dead soon and no more tourists will be coming. Such a shame. The local authorities do exactly the opposite of what is needed for this island and especially for its people.
