Fridays Boracay Resort

Beautiful resort, great location. Rooms are large and comfortable. Restaurant/bar staff were friendly, but slow and inattentive. Need to watch out for mystery charges on bar tab. The pool is shaded and just so-so for a hotel of that caliber. The restaurant/bar hours are limited, wish they could extend at a later time or preferably 24/7 since we mostly ended up eating at other restaurants. Security is good and the port to room transfer process and back is nice and well worth for what we paid. The said process went smoothly and was very convenient. Lastly, we ran into an issue with the receptionist upon check in because they tried to add more charges for the 2 kids when they were already included when I initially paid for the room. Had a little bit of discussion with them and when they double checked, they found out I was right and that I'm not supposed to be charged extra.

The best place to relax

Overpriced for a run down hotel with poor service. I booked a saturday night stay through hotels.com, but arrived early as a walk in. They had one "premium" room left. They took me to view it, i did a quick glance and said ok. They wanted to do a quick clean over before I checked in, they said wait in the restaurant for 30 min. 3 hours later, i was approached and said my room was ready. I went straight to the bathroom to find hairs and stains on the toilet. NASTY. I called to complain but noone ever came around to clean up. I had to leave, and when I came back, nothing had changed. I tried to take a shower, but only 5 spigots of the rainforest shower worked, it was like showering through a sink. Again, called to have it fixed, they said no problems it will be fixed. Came back later and slept. Next morning, I assumed the shower had been fixed since reception said they took care of it, but it was not. I ended up showering in the public beach wash off area. I tried to book a massage later that night, reception said I was booked and they would call me in 10 min once they were ready. I never received a call, so i called back. They said they called several times but I didn't pick up. So maybe reception was lying or the phone was broken. NOT SURPRISING. Overall, the hotel was way overpriced for what it is. I would suggest Boracay Terraces Resorts or the Lind for a quiet Station 1 stay in Boracay.

Amazing place

Used to love Fridays. Major issue is wifi. Poor connectivity compared to the resort beside it, Discovery Shores. If they want to be competitive, the have to fix their wifi! Goodness!
