The primary two weeks of our keep in Boracay was spent close to Bulabog Seaside—the primary week at Ferra Resort Backyard Suites, and the second, at an residence lent to us by a buddy of Blissfulguro. By the third week of our keep, we lastly transferred to a beachfront lodge, and at at least the White Seaside.
GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY’S LOBBY |
To be trustworthy, we wouldn’t actually have booked a beachfront resort because of their prohibitive costs. It was simply pure luck that we chanced upon a discounted price on a reserving app for Golden Phoenix Resort Boracay. For ₱1,200.00 per night time, we obtained a room for 2—toddlers are freed from cost—with complimentary breakfast. Completely not unhealthy for a four-star rated Boracay beachfront resort.
LOCATION
Golden Phoenix Resort Boracay is situated proper in entrance of Station 3 in Boracay White Seaside. Its essential foyer is definitely located on the seashore entry alley close to eMall Boracay, and the one dealing with the seashore is their pool and restaurant space. Which is definitely a great transfer. I’d slightly eat or swim with a view of the seashore, that swap it for the foyer the place the one exercise you’ll do is examine out and in.
THE HOTEL OPENS UP TO WHITE BEACH’S STATION 3 |
Being on Station 3, it’s fairly close to to the hubbub of actions on Station 2, whereas additionally being accessible to the quieter components of Station 3. Throughout our keep, we often have lunch or dinner alongside the various eating places in Station 2, then spend the evenings consuming beer on the rustic Cocoloco seashore bar. Its location additionally gave us the prospect to revisit, Angol Level, the farthest a part of Station 3, and luxuriate in its complete lack of vacationers.
ROOMS
We had been booked at Golden Phoenix’s Deluxe Room King, since we want having our son on the mattress with us. Sadly upon checking in, we got a Deluxe Room Twin room as a substitute. To treatment the scenario, they merely moved the 2 queen beds collectively, creating a large tremendous king mattress, lol.
TWO MASSIVE BEDS AT GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY’S DELUXE ROOM |
In addition to these two, in addition they have a triple household room, an everyday suite, and two themed suites—the Coral Backyard Suite and Yapak Suite.
The resort is rated as a four-star resort, though to be trustworthy, it doesn’t actually really feel that luxurious. Their inside design is a bit dated—traditional darkish wood furnishings on cream-colored wall surfaces. It’s one thing my mother would most likely like. The theme permeates all through the resort.
GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY’S DELUXE ROOM AMENITIES |
To be truthful, their Deluxe Rooms are fairly spacious. The beds are large, the bathroom and bathtub is roomy, and closet areas are greater than ample. A desk and chair can also be included within the room, good for when we have to feed A his dinner.
DELUXE ROOM TOILET AND BATH |
It additionally has the standard facilities discovered on four-star resorts—tea and coffee-making amenities, a mini-fridge, flat display TV with cable (which is a tad too small, in my view), free Wi-Fi, and really chilly air-conditioning.
A MINI WATERFALL ON THEÂ ATRIUM |
Our room was located on one of many corners of the lodge alongside the bottom ground. And whereas our window opens to a really unexciting view of a firewall, our door does confide in a mini backyard of types, full with a pretend waterfall.
SWIMMING POOL
GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY’S LONG POOL |
The primary draw of Golden Phoenix Boracay is their central pool. Fronting the White Seaside, it stretches for thirty meters, with rooms on the bottom ground on all sides. The primary pool has a depth of round 5 toes, and its kiddie pool, three toes—good for our toddler. We often swim right here after hitting the seashore within the mornings.
RESTOBAR
OPEN-AIR DINING HALL |
On the far finish of the pool, proper by the seashore, sits their in-house restaurant and bar. That is the place we often are throughout early mornings, chowing down on their complimentary breakfast.
GENEROUS SERVINGS OF COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST |
In contrast to most of our stays on different resorts, they don’t give visitors the choices of selecting their breakfast. What they serve for the day is what you get. For those who don’t prefer it, then powerful. We really had a operating recreation of guessing what they’d serve us for the day. The one factor you may change is how your eggs could be cooked—and I like mine scrambled, thanks very a lot.
 |
GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY’S BEACH BAR |
Throughout our keep, we had been often served silog meals—hamsilog, longsilog, tapsilog, tocilog, cornsilog—with beneficiant quantities, by the best way. And it comes with fruits, slices of tomato and cucumber, espresso, and juice. Not too unhealthy, actually. Plus, the individual answerable for the restaurant all the time provides our son his personal separate breakfast, which isn’t really a part of what we paid for—very candy, certainly. We really requested the entrance desk if our toddler would have his personal breakfast throughout our examine in, they usually flatly mentioned no.
IMPROVEMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Like our earlier Boracay keep, our essential downside with the resort is their drying space. We discovered it extraordinarily onerous to dry the moist garments we wore on the seashore. I suppose a retractable clothesline on the rest room would assist, or perhaps a transportable one positioned alongside the hallway.
 |
TAPSILOG AND CORNSILOG BREAKFAST |
And, oh sure, we’d actually want it if we’re ready to decide on what we’d have for breakfast. We really noticed a household seated subsequent to us who plainly refused the meals they gave, and easily ate outdoors the lodge.
FINAL THOUGHTS
CHECKING OUT OF GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY |
All in all, we did take pleasure in our keep at Boracay Golden Phoenix Resort. Its location is one of the best, the pool is nice, the rooms had been greater than enough, and the meals was alright. I do miss the real heat and hospitality of Ferra Premier, though the restaurant staffs form of made up for it. To be trustworthy, it actually didn’t really feel like a four-star lodge, however for the worth we obtained, you positively gained’t hear us complaining. That is, certainly, the reasonably priced Boracay beachfront resort you’re on the lookout for.
