Surfside Boracay Resort & Spa, Boracay Island

Surfside is a throwback to the old Boracay I remember from 15 years ago. No fancy tall building, no fancy pool, but very good service in the Station 3 area where the vibe is a lot more laid back (and yes, a bit more rustic) than the Station 2 area. We had the Ocean Junior Suite which was the only room with an Ocean view and a huge patio overlooking the beach (this is the one you want). Easily large enough for me and my wife and my grown daughter to stretch out in. The staff was extremely helpful, especially Leng-Leng who took care of our airport transfer, taking care of every detail, literally from the flight gate to the hotel (and back). The included breakfast was also great,right in front with a view of the beach.

Awesome place but a little walk to station 1. I had storms a lot while there

the place was so convenient to stay with and food was superb. the room is clean and big. the wifi is not so fast and we have a hard time connecting to it but overall our stay was superb.

Location is ideal if you want to stay in a quiet area. It is very convenient that the hotel have a restaurant and a spa. Lyn at the Yasuragi spa has amazing magical hands. My massage was lovely! Room is spacious, everything you need is provided. A suggestion though is to maybe have extra mirror (only 1 mirror by the sink) for the ladies, maybe by the door so we can check ourselves before we leave the room. I had to climb the bed Everytime to look at myself in the mirror - you'll understand when you get there. I wish they will also be lenient with bath towels. I have long hair and I need 2 towels to dry myself and my hair. I asked nicely for a 3rd towel but they refused (2 for me and 1 for my boyfriend). They might have thought that we are going to use it for the beach as they had beach towels to borrow as long as you leave a 500pesos deposit. I explained to the receptionist that we weren't going to use the towel for the beach as we had our own beach towels but she refused. Sorry but I didn't really feel the one of a kind service the other reviews have stated. I was waiting for that but it didn't happen. 1 exception was Jun who picked us up from the airport to the hotel. We were impressed by his service as he ushered us flawlessly from the van to the boat to the hotel with our 30kg luggage while keeping us informed about the things we see on our way. There is nothing wrong with the hotel though. I do recommend for you to stay here.

The accommodation, staff and services are great. Clean and comfortable. Great location on the beach. Staff always willing and wanting you to have a good stay. Wi-fi a little slow. Highly recommended at the danger we may never find a vacancy there again! Many thanks to one and all.
