The hype
Families love the endless pools and 'safe' compound feel, but couples seeking nightlife hate the isolation and shuttle waits.
Fairways and Bluewater Boracay
$60-150/ 박
다음의 경우 예약하세요 You want a massive, self-contained resort world with a private beach and golf course, and don't mind taking a shuttle to reach the main White Beach action.
사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- Six different swimming pools (including a foam party pool and an infinity pool)
- Exclusive access to the private Ilig-Iligan Beach (away from the crowds)
- CityMall is directly across the street for cheap eats and grocery runs
한눈에 보기: It’s less of a hotel and more of a sprawling, gated township where you trade walkability for scale and amenities.
@Sarahtravel님의 리뷰: I spent the whole afternoon just chilling on this lounger. The pool is massive, so even with kids playing, it felt relaxing. Having the bar right there for a cold drink was a lifesaver in the heat. Honestly, the vibe here is just pure vacation mode.

Reality check
The 'private beach' can be rough and windy compared to White Beach, and the older buildings smell a bit musty.
- You are a family who wants a 'one-stop-shop' vacation with pools, play areas, and safety
- You are a golfer (it has the only course on the island)
- You prefer a quiet, gated community vibe over the chaos of D'Mall
청결 & 유지관리
7.8
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, though they can be stingy with towel replacements.
- Bathroom hygiene: Newer rooms (Monterrey) are sparkling; older rooms have reports of moldy grout and weak flush.
- Maintenance: The property is huge so maintenance is a game of whack-a-mole; expect occasional AC drips or peeling paint in older wings.
- Linens & towels: Clean but basic. Be paranoid about staining them.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; older rooms can have a lingering musty/humid smell.

예약 전에
알아둘 사항
- Download the resort map immediately; you will need it to navigate the 80-hectare property.
- The 'CityMall' across the street is a lifesaver for cheap water, snacks, and fast food (Mang Inasal, Jollibee/Chowking).
- Airport transfers booked through the hotel are convenient (private boat) but pricey compared to DIY.
준비물
- Stain remover pen (to avoid the infamous towel damage fees)
- Slip-on shoes (for constantly hopping on and off shuttles)
- Waterproof phone case (for the foam parties)

자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Is the private beach swimmable?
Yes, but it's on the other side of the island (Bulabog side), so it can be wavier and windier than White Beach, especially during Habagat season.
How often does the shuttle go to D'Mall?
It runs roughly every hour from 9 AM to 10 PM. If you miss it, you'll need to pay for an e-trike (approx. 150 PHP).
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but check your booking. It's a massive buffet that gets very crowded; go before 8 AM to avoid the zoo.
Can I bring outside food?
Technically discouraged, but many guests buy supplies at CityMall across the street and bring them to their rooms discreetly.
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fee, but there is a strict incidental deposit and the aforementioned towel stain fees.
Are the pools heated?
Most are not heated, but the Philippine sun usually keeps them warm enough. The whirlpools at Ventana are warmer.
내부자 팁
- ✨
The 'Ventana' pool has the best view and a swim-up bar—it's the 'party' pool. 'Laguna' is quieter.
- ✨
Walk to 'Cujo's Keyhole' (a famous rock formation) directly from the private beach; it's a great photo op without the crowds.
- ✨
Buy your booze and snacks at the Savemore in CityMall across the street to save 50% vs. the minibar.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The 'shuttle' is often a converted jeepney or van that packs people in tight.
💡The 'private beach' is shared with other Newcoast developments, so it's not 100% exclusive to Fairways.
💡You might get a room that requires two different shuttle rides to get to breakfast.
💡The gym is surprisingly good and often empty because everyone is at the pool.
💡WiFi can be spotty in the far corners of the resort (like the golf course edges).
