Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa 5* сервис выше всяких похвал. Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa 5 * service is beyond praise.

We rested at the Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa 5 * hotel in July 2016, for the entire stay in the hotel we were the only Russians, however, the hotel staff tried to speak with us in Russian: "Thank you", "Please", "Hello" , that's the whole vocabulary, but also very nice. From this we understood that Russians still stay at this hotel, but probably there are more of them in the dry season, and not in the rainy season. By the way, there was practically no rain for 9 days, there were only a few rains, one at night, and the second during the day, it lasted no more than 20 minutes.
80% of vacationers are Japanese and Chinese, a few Americans, and representatives of other countries of Southeast Asia.
The hotel operates on the Bed and Breakfast system, breakfast - buffet, included in the room rate, lunch and dinner in Ala carte restaurants on site or in a cafe outside. To the village with cafes and shops every hour from 9:00 to 18:30 and from 18:30 to 01:00 every half an hour, there is a free bus that does not need to be signed up, everything is in a first come first served basis, which is very convenient. The duration of the trip is 20 minutes.

The tourist area is not a big couple of narrow streets and the White beach promenade, lunches in the village are 7-10 times cheaper than Ala carte restaurants in the hotel.
The breakfast is chic, the food is so varied, from yogurts and sausages to Chinese soup and sushi, I was especially struck by the wall with donuts strung on cloves and of course fruits, the mango just melted in my mouth.
The hotel has two beaches, one is not at all big, but it is located next to the pools and the second is bigger, the first is a little more comfortable, and there are more people on it.
The service on the beach is beyond praise, the staff brings towels, covers the sunbeds, treats you with water with ice and lemon for free, and fruit canapes are handed out at about 12 noon. You can also use masks and snorkels, take life jackets, especially since there are a lot of beautiful fish in the sea, and you don’t have to swim far to enjoy all this beauty. Of course, Boracay is not the Maldives, but still the fish are beautiful and big.
The pools in Shangril are filled with sea water, it is very warm like the sea, at least 28 degrees Celsius, and sometimes the water heated up to 30. The depth of the largest pool is 1.40 m, the other 1.80 m, and there is also a very small children's pool with no more than 0.40 m deep. The sea is simply magically beautiful.
The hotel area is very green and well-groomed, even the decorative pebbles in the corridors are washed by hand. The staff is very friendly, liked the note from the maid on the day of arrival with the message: "Please call such and such a number and tell me what time you would like your room to be cleaned", this is insanely convenient, we asked for the room to be cleaned at 10 am, and indeed, the room was being cleaned at that particular time.
The rooms are spacious, with a comfortable bed, TV (no Russian channels), refrigerator, iron, shampoo, soap, shower gel, air conditioner, body milk, toothbrush, thread, a large number of towels in the bathroom. In general, everything you need is there.

Tourism on the island of Boracay is just developing, not very many hotels have been built, many are under construction, housing on White beach leaves much to be desired due to not very competent construction, noise from crowds of tourists, so I advise you not to save on housing, choose hotels with its own beaches and closed territory.
There are few excursions in Boracay and its environs, our tour operator Peter tour did not make itself felt at all. In the tourist area you can buy English-language tours. Once, in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ the Budget Market supermarket, a Russian-speaking man approached us and offered 3 excursions: around the island of Boracay (5 hours), to the neighboring island of Panay for the whole day with swimming in waterfalls, and to another island that you need to get to for 2 hours on a motorboat, they seemed unattractive to us, so we enjoyed the fabulous sea the whole trip. Maybe it will seem boring to someone, but we love the sea, especially since we planned a transit through Singapore on the way back, where we satisfied our needs for excursions, but now is not about that.
Perhaps Boracay Island is a resort for experienced travelers who have been to many countries and now want to enjoy the beauty of such a distant and unexplored country, with a little Asian confusion, but great hospitality and respect for other peoples and their cultures.
