Prenota se You want a brand-new, luxurious beachfront resort right in the heart of Boracay's Station 2 with a massive pool and top-tier breakfast.
Perché piace così tanto
- Boracay's longest outdoor pool with a swim-up bar
- Immaculate, brand-new facilities with spacious rooms
- Prime beachfront location in Station 2 near D'Mall
In sintesi: It's a gorgeous, modern oasis in the middle of the action, but the firm beds and occasional pool DJ noise might not be for everyone.
Recensito da @DestinationDuncan: I stayed in this incredible suite at Mandarin Bay Resort in Boracay and felt like royalty. The massive king bed was a dream, but my absolute favorite part was the private indoor jacuzzi with color-changing lights. Getting ready in that huge bathroom was a whole vibe!
