Astoria Hotel Boracay

This is a long overdue post but better late than never right?

Anyway, early this month, we went to Boracay for the very first time! Woot! Thanks to Ian and Nestle for inviting us to their wedding, if it weren’t for them, we might not have witnessed Bora’s magic.

Anyway, since this post is about Astoria, let me start with the hotel’s good points:

It is newly renovated (formerly called Boracay Gold Crown Resort), and when I say NEW, it means clean, clean, clean! No icky feeling for me haha!

Modern and minimalist design. I’m not really a fan of native hotels so I’m really very happy that we booked Astoria. See the photos here.

HUGE rooms. There 2 double sized beds in every room (I think) and 4 persons can comfortably occupy the room.

They have sampayan yehey! No matter how clean your room is, imagine if there are wet clothes everywhere, must be a major turn off. But, Astoria implemented this super clever idea and hubby was very happy about it.

Affordable. Yep! Very affordable! We only paid 4k+ NET per night with breakfast for 2. Beat that! If you’ll be going there, better book here because Agoda offers a cheaper rate than the hotel itself. No need to worry because Agoda is the accredited booking facility of Astoria.
Awesome pandan juice welcome drink. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Near the shopping areas and restaurants

As for the bad points, they’re no deal breaker, that’s for sure.

No hair dryer. Good thing I brought one ;p
Sour coffee =(
Food was just okay and there were very few selections
Bad service, period.

Anyway, for me the good points really outweigh the bad ones. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there and if we’re coming back, we’ll definitely choose Astoria again (unless we receive an instant cash gift from above, that’s enough to pay for a 2-night stay at Discovery or Shangrila. How can we say no to that?
