3-Star Hotels in Western Visayas, Philippines

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.

They went beyond my expectations. I thought it was going to be like a family run inn but I was so wrong. Upon arrival, they will offer some refreshments and hand towel which is a nice touch. Room was really cute! Attic room but it didnt feel hot. Nice bed and pillows-had a good night’s sleep here. The soundproofing is non-existent however. You can hear the families on the other rooms if they are on the hallways. Also, if people are smoking in the general areas, the smoke smell can get it your room which pissed me off. Nonetheless, would come back for sure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The lobby was elegant, spacious, and impeccably clean, creating a luxurious first impression. Our room was even more impressive — modern, spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly soft and comfortable, the linens smelled fresh, and the room offered a stunning view that made every morning feel special. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day, always ensuring the room remained tidy and fully stocked. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional customer service. Every staff member we encountered was polite, attentive, and always willing to help. Whether it was assisting with our luggage, giving recommendations for nearby attractions, or responding quickly to requests, the service consistently went above and beyond. It’s rare to find a hotel where every employee genuinely seems to care about the guests’ experience. The amenities were also outstanding. The swimming pool area was relaxing and beautifully maintained, perfect for both families and couples. The hotel’s restaurant served delicious food with a wide variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The breakfast buffet in particular was excellent, offering both local and international dishes that were fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere throughout the property was peaceful, relaxing, and ideal for a much-needed getaway. The location of the hotel was another major advantage. It was conveniently situated near popular tourist spots, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying a quiet and comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Overall, our stay was truly memorable, and I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. Everything — from the cleanliness and facilities to the outstanding hospitality — was top-notch. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, relaxation, and exceptional service. We will definitely be returning in the future and are already looking forward to our next stay.

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!

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.
