Reviews that mention rooms
Write a reviewI am always generous in rating a place we've been to but this time, there are just so many downsides and I guess people should know our experience with Alta Vista. We booked 3 rooms with them for 3 nights and 4 days, for 6 adults and 3 kids. The hotel is far from the main stations (15-20 minutes - some areas are rough road). They have free shuttle but very limited time interval schedule. They only have free shuttle until 8pm going back to the hotel so if you want to experience the boracay night life then you better pay around 300 pesos for a pedicab. This price is somehow fix as the pedicab drivers explained to us that they have to use a lot of their electric power going up to Alta Vista hotel (as it is uphill).
Here are the lists of the things and services we felt deeply disappointed from this hotel:
- We were assigned in Markham building that is far away from the main lobby and pool. It was not funny to walk up and down the hill knowing that we have small kids with us. The rooms are big but are so outdated. We booked 3 rooms but one of the room is assigned far away from the the rest. My husband complained but their reason is because they are fully booked (LIARS?) We observed all the other rooms beside us and the AC's are not even working.
- There are no phones in the rooms. So if you have an emergency you have to walk all the way to their lobby. When I ask the reception the next day that is only the time they told me I can call to a cellphone number. Like, hello? should we not be informed about all these stuff during check in??
- On our first night in Boracay we took the last shuttle back to the hotel, but when we reached the lobby there is no one in the reception. All the keys were just placed by the reception counter. Like all the other guests or non guests can just get the keys and open the rooms ( We felt so unsafe).
- Our safety deposit box is not working. My husband complained 3 times and still nothing happened until we check out.
- Our rooms were never cleaned in that 4 day stay.
- There are monkeys freely going around in the hotel esp. in the area where we stay. I was personally worried about it because we were not informed and there is not even a single signage that warns us about it. When I complained to the reception the receptionist even seemed unbothered. And just told me to not open our balconies. Like what the f*** How will we know about these if the kids not saw those monkeys to begin with.
- The breakfast is plated and cold.
The only good side is their pool and the people working in the restaurant. This hotel seemed to be understaff and totally outdated.

Highly recommended! Will definitely return if ever we visit Boracay again.
Room - spacious, with bathtub, a good set of complementary (hindi tipid!), even the towels (hindi tipid), with balcony, tv, small fridge, plates, spoons, forks, coffee mugs, kettle, microwave, kitchen sink. There are table&chairs on the balcony - good for journaling or early morning coffee. There is also a drying rack where you can air dry your clothes after swimming.
Service, staff - very friendly and approachable. They did not forget our request for room cleaning.
In-room service - yummy food! We ordered breakfast and dinner because it was raining at that time. It's of course pricier than buying fast food. But almost the same price when you buy in resto around the beachfront stations.
Location - If you want away from the hustle and bustle of the main beachfront areas, then this is the best one for you. It suits what we're looking for. We really love the location as it is quiet and windy. Alta Vista offers a free shuttle to/from the stations (pickup/drop off is in front of Jollibee). And we just made sure to maximize it. But don't fret if you miss the schedule, as you can commute via e-tricycle (around Php30 to Php50) or rent it (around Php 250 one-way) from/to D'Mall.
Amenities - We love their swimming pools! They have 3 - one of them is a hot pool. You can request a towel in the lobby so you don't need to go back to your room to get one.
A spa salon is also available. They offer good prices given their services. The massage can be done at the convenience of your room or in their facility.

Left my room at 8am and return at 8pm to a dirty room with trash, unlocked door. They only collected laundry and left, no phone in rooms to call reception so you have to walk in the dark. I was told they don’t clean rooms, it’s only on request! Disgusting service

They don't have a wifi in the rooms. You'll have to stay in the hotel lobby/receiving area if you want to connect to their wifi.
