We thought the property was nice enough, but quite expensive compared to other options in the area for not much extra. We had to change rooms to get the room type we requested, and the room we ultimately ended up in had construction going on in the hiding next to it, even through the evening, so sleep was difficult. The staff was generally very friendly.

Beach-side hotel, good location, very friendly and helpful staff, good in-house spa, the breakfast selection is fairly limited, good bar with happy hour(s), the music selection in the bar could be improved though to better suit the mood.

Best value for ocean view room

It's amazing. Had small issues, but the staff responded efficiently to our complaint. They really care about their guests. The room with ocean view was fantastic. Sunset view on the balcony was very nice. Room is very modern and spacious. Location is great too, a few minutes walk to S2. Breakfast is so so

The hotel is beach front which is great. But the best part of my experience was how great the staff were. With the closure of Boracay, the hotel was still in the process of renovation and is not supposed to open until 11/15/18, but for some reason I was able to booked it on Expedia. I have heard stories about people loosing their reservations due to hotels not being ready. But instead of being left high and dry, Boracay Sands Hotel accommodated me and did what they can to make my Boracay trip a great experience. My room comes with free breakfast, but as mentioned they're not yet open for business, so they instead delivered my breakfast to my room. There's a lot to say about how great their staff are. Let just say that this trip could have easily ended up as a nightmare, but instead they made it great for me that Boracay Sands Hotel will be my go to hotel on my future trips to this beautiful island.

Great View from the Room

If you're looking for a cost effective hotel with a fantastic view and friendly staff this might be the one for you. We rented the Executive Suite because of the beach front balcony and it did not disappoint. The room had a new AC with great furnishings and very attentive staff and the price was within our budget. So let me get to the things you might want to consider for this particular hotel. It's in station 3 very near to where all the boats dock on the beach. While this does not affect your ability to use the beach it does mean that there are always boats coming and going from in front of the hotel. In addition, when the cruise ships dock, they ferry their guests to a floating dock in this area of the beach which means it gets crowded with cruise tourists hopping off the boat. They will try to take one of the limited umbrella stations reserved for the hotel but the guards are good at keeping them at bay. The pool is in the center of the complex and the kids will yell and scream echoing throughout the hotel making it difficult to rest should you need it from the night before. I would definitely recommend the private transfer from and to the resort as the general admission version from the airport leaves you short with a 200yd walk to the beach front (this is where you check in). Overall, the staff made up for any complaints and if you're looking for a great price on an ocean front suite, this is definitely a good choice. The next time I go I'll try to stay at station 1.

Hotel Right On Beach

My second stay at this hotel. Whilst happy with the experience, I thought it was starting to look a little dated (previous stay 4 years ago). Some of the room wiring decidedly dodgy and they had to give me a masterkey for the safe because the codes wouldn't work reliably. Breakfast buffet quite ordinary - overshadowed by offerings at newer hotels nearby.

Convenient location to all places

Getting to d hotel from d boat terminal in station 3 was a bad experience. Driver of commuter plying d route dropped us off d'mall intersection ( ph50). We were expected to walk at least 5 mins to our hotel. But our hotel is accessible thru e'mall intersection. So from d'mall intersection to e'mall we had to take another tricycle ph50.

Beachfront Hotel with Great Ambiance

We stayed in a deluxe room for 4D3N. Our room was just a few steps from the pool. It was raining most of the time during our stay but we didn't mind because we spent our time in the pool while waiting for the rain to stop. The hotel was generally good in terms of ambiance, facilities, and servicing personnel. I would love to come back and stay here again.

ホワイトビーチ目の前。ホテル前のサマーベットからの景色は最高です。再開後はビーチパラソルが禁止なのでビーチには日陰がなく日焼けをしたいヨーロッパ人しかねていません。ステーション3にあり夜は静かです。Dモールに歩いて20分程かかるので街ライフを楽しみたい方には不向きかも。私はスキューバダイビングをするのでショップが近く便利でした。何よりホテルスタッフが親切なのが一番気に入りました。
