Shangri-La's Boracay Resort and Spa

We stayed at the Shangri La Boracay around mid-March. The boat transfer from Caticlan’s airport to the hotel was seamless, and saves a lot of time compared to other hotels who transfer by van. The boat journey lasts a short but scenic 15 mins. Upon arriving at the Shang’s dedicated jetty, we were greeted by our personal concierge (the amazing and always attentive Kent), who would deal with all our requests during our stay. We booked an ocean facing suite, which includes a dedicated, yet always discreet, concierge. The in-room check-in and checkout was a nice touch. When we entered the room we were truly wowed: as it was our anniversary we were greeted by petals and flowers on the bed, fresh mangoes, a complimentary bottle of red wine and a Jacuzzi filled with rose petals. The room was just breath-taking and perfect! I think the biggest asset of this hotel is its staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble and your requests were always anticipated. The hotel has an activities centre and we opted for the private snorkelling experience around Crocodile Island, which had extensive corals and a variety of fish. This boat ride also included a short trip to the beautiful Puka Shell Beach. Ella, our tour guide, couldn’t have been more attentive. We had an amazing 3 hour boat ride/snorkelling experience. All in all, this was by far the best hotel we have ever stayed at. You really do feel like you are in paradise.

It was truly paradise. The room, the pool, the beaches, the restaurants, the buffet breakfast... the service!!! Everything you could want for the perfect beach vacay.

It was amazing

This hotel is big and beautiful. Has a private beach as well as access to prime secluded location on a second public beach. Yes, it has 2 beaches. Everything you want in a hotel/resort you can find here, multiple dining options (the breakfast buffet was incredible), beaches, pools, family activities, access to island and water activities, spa, and fitness facilities. A little far from town, but you can get there either by the free hotel shuttle or a tricycle for less than $5.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is very clean, serene and all staff are accommodating.

by far one of the best resorts i've ever been to! service was impeccable! resort was outstanding! breakfast was TOP NOTCH! spa was unbelievable!!! i can't say enough about this resort in Boracay - would never stay anywhere else on the island :)

Everything was perfect and excellent!

Shangri-La is the most wonderful hotel and resort I've ever experienced in my travels around the world. From start to finish every moment was memorable. Shangri-La made our honeymoon one for the ages, especially our dinner on the beach. I can't say enough great things about Shangri-La. You owe it to yourself to visit. We will definitely return.

It is an absolute joy to walk around the grounds of Shangri La Boracay- such beautiful natural scenery and immaculately maintained. Staff are super lovely. Outstanding buffet breakfast at Vintana in terms of the range and quality- very impressive. Everything was well organised (customer service) when you needed something. Only drawback was feeling slightly isolated when wanting to go into town/ not able to walk along the beach to the other beach areas (i.e. down to white beach).

It was a nice place to stay in Boracay. The only thing that we got disappointed was we reserve for a room with the sea view but they gave us the one that is half way view, then they offer us a full view but with an upgrade fee. The resort was not full at this season but I think the upgrade wasn’t reasonable. They can just give the room that we requested without any additional fee. We understand if the resort was busy but it’s not. And we booked a reservation last July. We want to have a memorable experience so we just accept the upgrade. They tricked us with the upgrade, so disappointing. Other than that everything is nice.
