Discovery Boracay

Our pick up at the airport was very on time. We were courteously greeted at the hotel. Our rooms were clean and cold. Our beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were clean and very strong water for showering, we had abundance of drinking water. Breakfast was sumptuous and food varied every day. Service was excellent. Staff was very courteous, friendly, very people oriented as expected since this is the characteristic of Filipinos. The beach was very nice, the pool very clean and temperature of the water was really nice. Our whole family vacation was fantastic. I recommend Discovery Boracay for any one who will go for a Boracay vacation.

What an amazing time. It all started with an arranged transfer from the airport (van to boat to van). We warmly greeted for check-in and got to our room (1 BR deluxe Premier). The room is big and comfortable with nice rooftop views with a jacuzzi. The resort is nicely laid out with a great beachfront area. The included breakfast buffet makes a great start of the day. The staff is always warming and attentive.

Just spent a few unforgettable days at Discovery Shores Boracay, and I can genuinely say—it felt like paradise. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel at home with their warm smiles and thoughtful service. Every little detail was taken care of, from the welcome drinks to the personalized notes in the room. The beachfront view was absolutely stunning, and the room was both luxurious and cozy. What touched me most was how genuinely caring and attentive the team was—they truly made our stay special. Thank you, Discovery Shores, for your incredible hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!

We had an incredible vacation at Discovery Shores. The staff treated us with exceptional hospitality, making us feel as if we were being welcomed into their home. Our one-bedroom, 2 bathroom loft room was beyond belief, offering unparalleled comfort that felt just like being at home. The hotel and room were so inviting that it was difficult to leave the premises. The breakfast and food were outstanding, and the thoughtful touches, such as the evening turn-down service, snacks and Evian spray during the day, were delightful. Overall, our stay was truly amazing. While the island is more crowded than it used to be 10 years ago, Discovery remains the same and keeps its beachfront in pristine condition. We thought this would have been our last visit to Boracay, but Discovery has changed our minds. Thank you to the staff and management for keeping the service top notch and the facilities updated!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11/10||For three days, I genuinely felt like royalty. This hotel didn’t just offer excellent service—it delivered a personalized experience that made me feel like I was the only guest that mattered. From native snacks (served with delightful tidbits of history) to a complimentary shuttle that took me anywhere on the island, it was as if they rolled out a red carpet just for me.||Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and almost intuitive—like they knew what I needed even before I asked. By the third day, I was so wrapped in this royal treatment that I actually started to believe I deserved it.||That said, some of the room equipment showed major signs of age, sea water torture, and heavy usage. A little refresh wouldn’t hurt to match the otherwise stellar service.||And then came the twist.||On my last day, around 10:45 AM, I called Guest Services to ask if I could do an express checkout without passing by the front desk—something I usually do at other hotels. The operator’s tone was noticeably annoyed, as if my question had just broken the royal spell. It was a minor thing, but after three days of being pampered like a king, the sudden shift caught me off guard and, I admit, slightly triggered me.||Honestly, maybe they should consider dialing down the pampering just a notch—you know, for the guests’ own good. Otherwise, I might start expecting people to scatter rose petals in my path wherever I go. 😅||Special shoutout to my amazing Guest Experience Makers—Paula, Laura, and Sean—who truly made my stay exceptional. They were the heart of this royal treatment, and I can't thank them enough.||Would I come back? Absolutely. Score: 11/10. Despite the small bumps, this was an experience that went beyond expectations. Just a friendly reminder: even kings need to check out properly.

Beautiful hotel with an excellent beachfront. Rooms are spacious and clean. Food is expensive, but quite delicious. Breakfast buffet offerings were also decent. Service is excellent during welcoming and leaving the hotel. Transportation and pick-up services were excellent. However, the service during the actual stay itself could use a lot of improvement. Breakfast service in particular was a bit chaotic. Some turn down service was missed, even after we called to remind. Beachfront service staff could be more attentive as well. Overall, it was still a great stay, but it could have been much much better.

Pros: - Spacious and comfortable rooms. - Seamless airport transfers. - Tasty breakfast options. - Welcome drinks and snacks upon arrival. - Most staff are friendly and courteous. - Great shuttle service. - Quality room service food. Cons: Mostly on inconsistent level of service. - Missed a turn-down service despite us calling to request it. - Some staff members lack attentiveness, particularly during breakfast and at the beach towel service. Guests aren’t greeted or assigned tables at breakfast, and staff may ask for your room number a few times while enjoying the buffet. Barista-made coffee is not consistently offered, and table clearing is slow. - Beach towel service is also hit-or-miss. None of the amenities seen on influencer content except for the pandan water, which was only provided upon request rather than proactively offered. Overall, it was a decent stay, but the resort’s marketing oversells the level of service provided.

From the moment we arrived, everything at Discovery Boracay was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—always greeting us with a smile. Not our first time—and definitely not our last. The service has always been what keeps us coming back, and this trip was no exception. From the moment we arrived, Sean made us feel so welcome. Jigs and Paul, our beach butlers, took such good care of us every single day—thank you both for the thoughtful and attentive service. Francis at the bar made sure our drinks were always spot-on, while Bless and Mia were all smiles and warmth during our breakfast buffet. Renan from room service was consistently prompt and kind. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Thank you, Discovery, for another seamless and special Boracay experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing yet luxurious Boracay experience!

This is our second stay at discovery shores. I've never stayed anywhere else in Borocay. Why mess with perfection? The breakfast buffet is our favorite, it starts early and ends late, plenty of time for the 14 of us to gather and realize our intention for the day. This resort is the highlight of our year. Thank you, Discovery Shores for the impeccable service and amazing experience!

Beautiful property with exceptional service. The private beach is fantastic. We've been to Boracay many times and this stay was the best. The rooms are some of the best rooms in the Philippines. You will not regret your stay here. The only thing to improve if anything is a bigger pool. With all of the families, it gets pretty crowded, but you have a huge, pristine beach to hangout at too. Will definitely be back.

Staying at this property for the first based on the recommendation of a relative. My family has never been to Boracay so we relied on the recommendation. Location is great for peace and quiet. Far away enough from the busy and noisy Station 2. Facilities are good, but not without defects. Food is comparable with other similarly rated places. Service and attentiveness of the staff seems inconsistent. When we checked in. They told us that there is a complimentary foot cleaning. We requested one as soon as we got to our room. We waited for over half an hour for someone to come. When nobody did, we canceled it. First strike. Second strike is on our second night. We came front d'mall and my wife wanted a glass of Pandan water. We sat at a table not too far from the Bar. My wife waited for someone to approach her to ask if we want anything. After at least fifteen minutes without anyone coming to check on her, she got up to approach a server to ask for water. Our reservation is for 3 nights and four days. We are still at the property when I wrote this review and have one more night of stay. Just hoping our third night will be without any glitch. I know what I have shared as strikes may not be a big deal. However, it is better that we put it out there just an fyi and hope they are isolated cases or a very minor glitch on this otherwise facility that is considered a top notch place. Shoutout to the majority of the staff that always are ready to be of service with a smile.

wow. everything about this place was amazing! i would keep going back to this place if im ever at boracay. they arranged everything from transportation to their hotel and even departing their hotel. this was super super convenient. this made the experience goes so smoothly. once we got to our room, 2 bedroom suite, wow wow wow. the room was super spacious, comes with 3 bathroom!! and came with a pretty big pool! they had welcome treats ready for us, with complimentary snacks and drinks (includes san mig pale and light) they will refill the fridge... for free! we also ended up booking another bedroom suite, also amazing. same amenities. came with a smaller pool. and 2 bathrooms. still super spacious! we were out of most of the day. when we came back, both rooms were already cleaned. beds made. and they would even give us bed time treats. and put mats saying "sweet dreams" and left a note! hotel came with free breakfast at sands restaurant. breakfast had a variety of different kinds of food, all amazing! breakfast is from 0600-1000. it never felt like it was crowded. always lots of seating area. they also had a complimentary taho for the guests for breakfast! i thought that was super super nice. when we first arrived, we also arranged a boodle fight, everything was soooooo good! sands also has hh from 4-7pm! we also tried their italian restaurant, osteria forno! pretty good dishes but the pasta was only ok. we also checked out their rooftop deck. it had pool overlooking the ocean, as well as 3 jacuzzis. just nice to hang out here, chill, while having snacks and beer. i could go on and on about this place. it was amazing staying here. everyone, all the staff, from this place was amazing, super nice, super friendly, super outstanding! stay here! i highly recommended it. this resort is located in station 1.

This is my very first Yelp review ever. I probably would never have done this, but my recent trip to the Philippines was so extraordinary, that I am compelled. Before I begin, Naj Gunting, Manny (security), Jigs Aguire, Jhay (at the ocean bar), and everyone else at the Discovery Shores resort were instrumental in escalating a phenomenal guest experience into the type of experience that only rock stars are accustomed. The resort itself is a beautiful property, but the staff elevate the experience. You can see videos and photos of the resort, that's easy, but the feeling you get is indescribable. You are greeted at arrival with a refreshing beverage composed of calamansi and mint. Not to worry, you can get it at the bar if you ask. Pandan water flows freely at pool side and you can request to have some sent to your room. You must taste the pandan water. While on the subject, all of the water on the resort is filtered and safe for tourists. There is a steak house and Italian restaurant on the property, which I'm sure, are first class, but when in the Philippines, enjoy the local food. A few of my favorite dishes were, bacolod kansi, bicol express, all of the different fried rices, the many pancit, bistek tagalog. I have often laughed at halo halo. It just seemed ridiculous to me until I had halo halo at the Discovery Shores. I get it now. There is a tiny grill next to the property on the beach side called Gloria's where I had probably the best grilled squid of my life. If you are not into squid, have the grilled liempo (pork belly) and chori-burger. We chose the resort because of the sugar sand and sunsets, so literally everything else was a bonus. Naj hooked us up with local tours. Manny was always there. You turn around, and there's Manny looking after the guests. Jhay hooked me up with my fist aged negroni, and Jigs is an attentive host that goes the extra 100 miles. He actually has a spray sun glasses cleaner in his pocket. It actually became a joke, how many times he cleaned my wife's sunglasses. It does not matter if you stay in a regular room or a deluxe suite, the staff go out of their way to make it memorable.

I am very disappointed in Discovery Shores, Boraca, Philippines! Sure the hotel was nice, clean, & staff were accommodating. However, we were SCAMMED BY THE HOTEL EMPLOYEES. After our island boat ride tour, our tour guide very highly recommended a restaurant named SUGPA for lunch. The hotel van driver & our tour guide drove us to a very bad area to a hole in the wall restaurant SUGPA. We were nervous being in such a bad area. The food was not even good & we were charged $160 USD for 4 shrimp plates & a Lapu Lapu fish. We were not given a menu & they refused to quote us prices when we asked them. Several other hotel employees very highly recommended this restaurant. Our security was compromised bringing us to such a bad area. Shame on you! Next year we will be checking into the Shangrila. NO MORE DISCOVERY SUITES. FROM THE JOCSONS, GUEST ON MAY7,8,9,2023.

Great Place!!! I came here for Christmas Eve dinner which would surprisingly end up being where my fiance would propose to me so this place was magical to me. I wasn't staying at this resort so we traveled from our station via one of the "tok tok" tricycles. If you take the tricycle, they drop you off at the back of the resort so be prepared to walk up a steep hill and a lot of stairs. The resort was beautiful and the tables on the beach were beautifully decorated and lit. I do wish they had citronella candles going to keep the mosquitos away. The service was amazing from everyone! The food was buffet style with quite a few choices including a seafood bar, pasta bar, and other hot meats. I did develop a stomach ache after eating the food later that night, however, I cannot pinpoint where the stomach ache came from since I did have so many foods from the buffet. The pasta and shrimp were both amazing!! It was still a perfect evening and I would consider staying there if we come back to the Philippines to visit again. I hope this review helps you decide on where to stay and/or dine while in Boracay! :)

Came here with a group of friends as we were all here for a wedding. The hotel was beautiful and luxuries feeling! When we first got to our room, they asked if we would like a complimentary foot massage - they washed our feet and gave us a 5 min massage. The resort is on the beach so it's a super short walk from the hotel to the beach where you can lounge on the beach chairs to work on your tan. As you are sitting on the chairs, every hour the staff comes by with refreshments (water or pandan water), mist for your face and some cucumbers for eyes. Arriving at the resort is interesting as when you get to the airport, they will come get you to bring you over to their lounge, which they then take you on a boat to bring you over to the resort. You do have walk on the beach and almost into the water to get onto the boat. The staff will help time the waves for you to get on without getting wet (as least they try to). Then from the boat, you then unload, get into another van where it's a 10 min car ride to the resort.

Best Place to Stay in Boracay! From Arrival till Depature, the Customer Service was Remarkable! Free Transportation from the Airport to the Island, All the Staff were accommodating and always smiling, Food was awesome, the staff would give you food treats from time to time, they would spray you Evian ionizer on your face after a beach swim, they also fold your clothes and guard your stuff while you're at sea. You definitely get your moneys worth in this place. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place. It was my 2nd visit to Boracay and this time after the 6 months closure. The roads are still a mess as the works continue to happen. I'm glad to see many changes and definitely many signs that this island is on its way to full recovery. Discovery shores is a top notch! I enjoyed their service form day 1. I really like that I had a private transfer from Caticlan to the island. The staff were very accommodating. Will definitely stay there again! Good job, Discovery Shores!

Our group could not have been happier with our stay at Discovery Shores. Exemplary service! Staff was so friendly. Jigs and Jenil made sure we had everything we could have possibly needed. We cannot wait to come back. The resort was breathtaking. Boracay beach was prestine. Breakfast was delicious. Transfers to and from Boracay Island were included and went off seamlessly. It definitely was a trip to remember!

L I am writing you this OPEN LETTER based on what I have experience on your Hotel, I have been travelling and one of my passion is Travel Blogging. I haven't been home for almost 14 years in the Philippines since last month, I stayed in Boracay in a different Hotel which the service is highly admirable. I have read good reviews and High recommendations from my friends to stay in your Hotel, note that I am also from Kalibo Aklan and residing in the US For 14 years, I promise myself that when I come back this month of October I will stay and experience your hotel. Here comes the month of October I came home again to do a pleasure trip, I already travelled Manila, Cebu and Coron. I don't have plans to go back in Boracay soon hence, I remember my promise that I will go back and stay in your hotel as one of the premiere hotel in our Province and in the Islands, and to top that I have a good friend that he is also in the Island which I haven't seen for years. So here I am just got from a Cebu Trip ... Packed my bag and travel again to Boracay, I tried reaching the number in front desk but no answer at all but I just continue my journey. Luckily, when I came to the Island of Boracay I was gonna get a local ride but I saw a transfer. NO DOUBT that the Service is REMARKABLE. When I arrive in your property, I was greeted by one of your associate P. Ibarra at 3:30pm. Ms. Ibarra showed me the basic junior suites room which I ask her that if there's a room that I can upgrade cause I want to experience the best and I can't find a mini tub on the room which one of my favorite thing to do is soaking and relaxing. She showed me 2 rooms. The suite and the one with the loft. I fell in love with the loft I told her immediately and I'll pay for the upgrade fee, I waited for a while and enjoying. At around 4:25pm finally checked in to the new room. First thing that I wanna check out was the JACUZZI, hence the jacuzzi was not even warming up and to that some faucets are not working. I called the front desk and they are fast in service, but then I was informed that the jacuzzi can't be turn off because it was damage and if I will turn off it will not heat up? I didn't understand at ALL WHAT he is trying to say but I was already on my time schedule for dinner and appointment. The guest services people were highly recommendable so far, the best experience that I ever had in my life specifically the drivers and the greeters. At around 12am I went back to the hotel tired and exhausted. 2am in the morning I woke up due to the water sprinkling on my face and upper body. And I saw the AC water was already spreading all over and the whole floor was wet. I immediately called the Engineering Department and it took 2.5 hours before they responded and switch to another room. Following the Guest Relation Manager Melvin he apologize hence told me to give an extended late check out. I expected that because of the troubled that I have experienced, the extended late check out that was given to me will be not on my coverage. But to my surprised the front desk informed me that I need to pay for the late check out which is 12:40am. My point is, there is no consideration like A HERMES BAG IS A HERMES BAG I availed it so great service is expected NOT A DIVISORIA BAG like your hotel. Note I was so tired they should be the one initiating the apology not the customer. I felt that I was not taken care off. The apology is not sincere, the person is considered no affection or concerned to the guest. I am writing this not only because I felt extremely aggravated with all the hours wasted with my supposed relaxing and chill out stay with your hotel but most especially to make you aware of the excrescency of your hotel. May you live up with your standards as an award-winning, iconic and unforgettable hotel in the Island as what you claim to be in your website. Sincerely, JOSE CONRAD M. NAVARRA

Amazing resort! First class everything. I want to go back to this resort . Superb service. And that beach is so perfect. Powder white sand. Everything is perfect! Breakfast is ahmaaazing. And something about their fresh juice of the day makes each day extra special. I love how transport to station 2 is available at night during high tide. Can't wait to return!

Discovery Shore is back on business and their superior service is back on unlike the previous years that is was deteriorating! Kudos Discovery shore. Keep it up pre pandemic or post pandemic! We love discovery and Boracay so much!

I stayed here for two nights after my study abroad in Hong Kong and it was just what the doctor ordered. It has an amazing beachfront location away from the craziness of Station 2. The rooms are good size, comfortable and well equipped. They include transfers from Boracay Airport (you travel by private van and by sea, so it's about a half hour, give or take) Their included breakfast buffet is pretty limited but good. I was definitely satisfied. They have a good variety of Western and Asian dishes, so you're bound to find something you like. I have to stay that I have never been to a place that offers soft and crispy bacon. NEVER. Pretty awesome, if you ask me. The breakfast inclusion is VERY good value add, in my opinion. I have to add that their calamari appetizer KICKS ASS!!!!! The BEST calamari I have EVER had in my entire life! They have a very pleasant bar right off the beach, as well as tables, chairs, and chaise lounges on the beach...great place to have a drink and watch the sunset, or drink San Miguel and eat calamari. What REALLY makes this place fantastic is the staff. I have never been at a resort where everyone is so genuinely kind and warm-hearted. From the folks who serve you on the beach (they bring around complimentary appetizers later in the day), to the shuttle drivers, to the concierge, nothing you ask is too much, and they always go above and beyond. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I have never been to The Philippines before, but the warmth and kindness of the people, both at the resort and on the island as a whole really touched my heart. HIGHLY recommend.

Best. Bacon. Ever. The serve soft and crispy bacon #baconheaven The kid inside me love the Yakult in the buffet the egg station even makes fresh egg Benedict

Lovely resort hotel! We enjoyed our stay here for our buddy's wedding and it was so beautiful!

I highly recommend Discovery Shores if you're planning to stay in Boracay. Awesome and spacious rooms and Excellent Customer Service...as we're totally pampered.

The food server Cecilia from the breakfast buffet was rude. She kept ignoring our requests and she purposely did not clean our plates when our family ate there for two consecutive mornings. We asked three times for spoons and did not even bother to accommodate our request. The first morning, she was insisting us to sit somewhere else at the back even if we wanted to sit in front. She seemed always annoyed every time we ask her for something. She would always give us a mean look and were bumping onto us when we were at the buffet. Very very rude. We paid three expensive rooms for 4 days from this hotel and she did not provide a good customer service treated us like an outsider and not as guests. She needs to learn the rules of customer service etiquette.

We came here for a birthday dinner on the beach , the food was amazing and so was the service. Arleen took care of us and he was extremely kind.
