Very clean and in good location

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Feb 2018via mobile
I’ve stayed in this hotel with my family for 1 week.
It’s very close to the Station 3 beach and it’s a quiet part of the beach too. The rooms are nice and clean with a minibar fridge with very reasonable prices.
The water pressure is good and the towels are changed everyday. There are also beach towels available at the reception.

The internet connection wasn’t the best. And also the breakfast is very limited. You can choose from 2 options: pancake with fruit or 1 egg with toast and fruit. Plus tea or brewed coffee.

The stuff is extremely friendly!

We have really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place as you get good value for your money.

My husband and i came here as part of our honeymoon and it was a very pleasant stay (we stayed for 1 week) the rooms are very well kept and the staff is very accommodating. it’s around the end of station 3, about a 10 minute walk to station 2 and a 15-20 minute walk to station 1. we didn’t mind though, because we got to walk the entire beach and see everything. there are a few restaurants right around the corner (Nagisa is a really good and inexpensive japanese spot) and andoks chicken is a little further down! although the breakfast was the same everyday, eggs, toast and some fruit, we were very satisfied since u can add an extra egg for 25 cents. some days we asked to have breakfast brought to our room, which they didn’t mind doing at all! thank you Island Jewel Inn!

I stayed here with 6 others for a week from September 2 to 9 2017. The staff were friendly, the rooms clean and the air conditioning was great. Our room had a private balcony, The mini bar prices were good and the nearby beach was excellent.

Warm accommodation, friendly and courteous staff, clean rooms, surroundings and the service is superb! Oh the food may be simple but they're well prep. The only thing missing but not a minus to my review is the nearby medicine store. You have to go station 2 to buy but that's all. We'll definitely come back here on our next visit to Boracay.

Hello Sir Michael,

Thank you for the wonderful review!
We're so happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay. We always make sure that our guests deserve the best service we can offer, and we are glad we meet your expectations. Nearest pharmacy is located mainly along the highway of the island so its a bit tricky finding one in beach front.

Thank you so much for staying Sir Michael, we are looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Best regards,
Brian Albert Vigil

I have to say, we booked this wanting a cheap deal and not being especially fussy but... the photos are definitely not representative. We were given a room with a tiny window and very outdated decor. On the plus side, the room is clean and round the corner from the beach but I wish we'd spent a little more or chosen one that was more reflective. Also we asked about trips - normally you trust your hotel - but they sent us off with a v shonky snorkelling tour which charged us extra for each island we visited, extra for snorkelling kit and came back 2 hours earlier than advertised. As a result it lowered my respect for the hotel.

Dear Aheytravel,

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.

We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations during your stay, however, we are confident that the photos published on the website are exactly the same as what you can find when you check in. It would be easy to justify this when you were able to took some photos for us to compare.

Regarding the activities, our hotel doesn't own or in-partnership with a tours activity and we don't offer tour packages, so what we can do is just assist our guests in booking their desired activities and/or giving options and recommendations and it's up to the guests if they will book or not, what happens beyond that is of guests responsibilities.
Your underrated experience with island hopping that ended 2 hours earlier was out of the hotel's control. The sea and weather conditions during that time might not given your boat permission to visit other islands that was supposed to be included in the package and we assumed that the situation has been explained to you by the boat captain and the least we can expect from you is to understand.

Thank you for considering to stay with us and we hope that despite of these shortcomings, you still had great memories of Boracay with you.

Best regards,
Brian Albert V.

The place was perfect. It was secluded but close to White beach (about a minute walk away), with a small garden and great facilities. I paid for a standard room but was bumped to a superior one. The room was spacious and the view of the garden in the balcony made the place feel cozy and relaxing. The staff were super kind and helpful too. They arranged for an airport transfer and the island hopping tour. Considering I booked the place last minute, I did not expect this level of service from the staff. Kudos to them!
