Positive Reviews
positive:
24 hour reception are wonderful
Guests have appreciated the 24/7 reception service at La Carmela De Boracay Hotel, as there are many flights in that area that are delayed, creating an issue with the check-in procedure. Some guests who arrived at one am were met with a smile and a smooth, efficient check-in.
positive:
Great breakfast selection
Many visitors have commented on the wonderful selection of hot and cold dishes during breakfast. The most popular station has been, according to most guests, the egg station, where you can request your eggs to be done in a number of different ways.
positive:
Pool open till late
Because of the great, warm weather in this area, the pool is conveniently open until way after dark. Guests say this creates a good vibe at the pool area, where guests get to know each other, and sometimes go home really good friends.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Room linen tatty
There have been a few guests at La Carmela De Boracay who have noticed that the bed linen, along with the towels too have become really well worn, and could definitely do with being replaced. Perhaps the 24 hour reception will have a few new ones in stock.
negative:
Plenty of tourists
Because of the fact that this hotel is so popular, the hotel and the surrounding areas are usually packed with tourists. If you don't get down to the dining hall early, you have to wait for the second seating.
negative:
Not a place to rest
If you are looking for a quiet retreat for your vacation, then this location will not suite you at all. There is almost always plenty of activity and noise going on day and night, but if you are into the social scene you won't have any issues whatsoever.
