3-Star Hotels in Malay

The hotel was good. The staff was very kind, respectful, friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. It had all the basics to make a stay good and comfortable. Everyone was nice and welcoming. They were willing to help with everything. That really made it easy for me as a solo traveler.

The service was excellent, as expected of a COAST hotel. Every staff member was smiling and ready to assist every guest. They were responsive to requests and remembered guests' names, making guests feel respected. The room had everything they needed, but the facilities were quite old, the soundproofing was poor, and there was a lot of mold in the bathroom. I strongly suggest the hotel renovate it. It's about a five-minute walk to the beach.

The hotel left a very pleasant impression. I'd like to highlight its key advantages, which made our stay comfortable and delicious. Pros (things that really impressed us): 1. Location: The hotel is in a very convenient location. What's also valuable is the peace and quiet. It's not as crowded as Station 1 or 2, but all amenities are easily accessible. 2. Room: We had a wonderful room with direct access to the pool. This is a huge plus: you can jump right in the water in the morning or sit by your mini-terrace in the evening. The room is clean and comfortable. 3. Staff: A special thank you to the hotel staff. They are very kind, conscientious, and do their job well. All requests were resolved quickly, with a smile and a genuine desire to help. You can feel their genuine care for their guests. 4. Cuisine/Breakfast: Breakfast was included in the price and was a real highlight of the morning. Very tasty, filling, and varied. But the biggest discovery was the vegetarian breakfast. It was so delicious and filling that I ordered only that for the last few days of my stay. A major drawback / Beware (personal experience): Be careful when leaving the hotel grounds. There are tour vendors (excursion vendors) standing near the hotel. Unfortunately, they're not very reliable. We encountered them actively pushing services, and then they might change the terms after the deal. I recommend either booking excursions in advance at trusted locations or ignoring the guys at the entrance to avoid ruining your mood. Bottom Line: Banana Bay Boracay is a real find. It offers the perfect balance of price, quality, peace and home comfort. The amazing staff and hearty vegetarian breakfasts made our stay almost perfect. I'd return without a second thought, but I'll be giving the vendors at the entrance a wide berth.

Our stay in Calypso lasted 3 days and 2 nights, and the first thing I appreciated was the location; it’s close to the road access for e-trikes, and literally beach front so you don’t have to look far to go for a swim or start your morning stroll along the coast. They offered plated breakfast options in Sansi that had a nice assortment of Filipino silogs and interncontinental plates that I enjoyed. However, the staff can be a little careless in preparing the food. I ordered extra sausages, and one still had the plastic film around it. Reception also requires a lot of proactivity if you want your room cleaned, need a hair dryer, or your beach towels provided for. Not a huge deal personally because people in the front desk are easy to communicate with, but more effort in voluntarily doing so would have been appreciated. For the price I booked for 2 superior rooms, and the prime location, I would still say that the experience was overall pleasant with little room for improvement. Also, there’s a cute cat in the area! Make sure to say hi!

Booked this because it was one of the places I looked up and was looking forward to staying at during my last visit here in 2021. But it’s okay, there are really signs of aging na talaga, haha. Anyway, location-wise, it’s very good because it’s not in a very busy area since it’s somewhat on the boundary of Station 2 and 3. We booked the room with free breakfast, and sulit naman for its price. My main concern was the room,may mga baby roaches everywhere sa bathroom. Also, the front desk was not reachable when we tried calling from our room.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with a smile. The location was also very convenient, making it easy for us to enjoy our trip. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

A nice, home stay style hotel. There was only a fan in the room, but it was quite strong and more than enough. The owner was very friendly and beach was across the street. The only minus was that every time the neighbours opened and closed the door or listen to music, I could hear it in my room clearly.

Lime Hotel Boracay – 6/10 I stayed at Lime Hotel Boracay for 3 nights and was quite disappointed. While the hotel enjoys a good reputation (especially their El Nido property), this location fell short on maintenance and comfort. Pros: Great location along the main Boracay road — very convenient for restaurants, shops, and the beach. Staff were generally friendly. Major Issues: • The room wasn’t well-maintained: worn doors (entrance and CR) needing renovation, walls with molds and cracks, stains on bed sheets and towels, and a funky smell from the toilet bowl (likely drainage). • Biggest problem: The AC turned on automatically at a freezing 16°C. When we raised it to 23°C, the room became extremely humid — everything (floor, mirror, doors, bed, and even gadgets) got wet.
The front desk lady had no idea and called maintenance. The technician explained it happens when the AC is turned off or set higher, and mentioned the inner walls are made of styrofoam (showing cheap construction). No one warned us beforehand. • Just before checkout, our key card suddenly stopped working. We had to call staff, who struggled for about 10 minutes to open the door. This reinforced the ongoing door maintenance problems. We requested a room change but were told everything else was booked. The hotel layout is also inconvenient — stairs to reach the elevator and more stairs to your floor. Housekeeping communication was poor too. We requested cleaning, but the room wasn’t done even after we informed the front desk we had left. Overall, small issues stacked up and ruined the stay. Fine for a quick 1-night stop thanks to the location, but I wouldn’t recommend it for longer stays. Management needs to fix the AC/moisture problem, doors, and general maintenance soon.

Excellent beachfront location with very friendly and responsive staff. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the location and service more than make up for it. There's no currency exchange at the front desk, and a 1000 peso deposit is required at check-in. The Wi-Fi works perfectly. There's a cafe and bar in the hotel courtyard offering various breakfast options and easy snacks. The hotel also provides sun loungers and beach towels. Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️. I also strongly suggest having lunch or dinner at the Villa Caemilla hotel restaurant (just 30-50 meters from this hotel, towards the port). The service and cuisine there are among the best in Boracay, and it's only slightly more expensive than other places.

Check in was fast. Staff and security were friendly. Great location in front of the beach. But the resort seems old and the floor in the room was sticky. 3 options of pool to relax in. Booked a deluxe room even though I was alone. Room was big. The towels were worn out though.
