My favorite spot in Boracay

Jan 2025 • solo

This is my favorite spot in Boracay. Sisig is the best, buffet lunch is cheap (P399) with mixed seafood and their cocktails are buy one take one. Jerick (bartender) and Reynalyn (wait) are absolute the best. Always smiling and attentive for your needs. I go to Eight everytime I am in Boracay. Was planning to Gate keep to prevent it from getting packed but their crew are awesome and deserved a good tip. Don’t miss the pork sisig! Ask for wifi password for guests :)

Lunch buffet with a top notch food and customer service.

Oct 2024 • friends

The lunch buffet is sumptous with a beach view. We experienced top notch customer service from Jha-Jha and James while having a one of a kind lunch buffet in Boracay Island on a very reasonable price. A must try dining experience indeed.

Beach front pocket friendly dining

Sep 2024 • solo

I heard that this place serves buffet lunch daily dor only 399.00 per head and an additional 25.00 for unli juice from 11am onwards. I did advance booking. I arrived just in time for lunch. The food is value for money considering that you are in Boracay. I love the soup! Seafood is fresh. SIR JERIC assisted me right away. He is prompt and attentive all the time. He is friendly and welcoming as well as courteous which makes my dining experience delightful. Thank You Jeric.

Horrible Service

Nov 2024 • family

Worst service ever…do not go here. There were only 4 other people in the restaurant but everything took forever. We ordered 3 non alcoholic fruit shakes and they came out one at a time over the course of 45 minutes. It took a full hour to get basic food. The worst part though was when my son clearly ordered a plain cheeseburger and emphasized just cheese, meat and the bun, the bun came out lathered with mustard on both sides. When we requested for the waitress to provide us a plain bun as we had ordered, she said she couldn’t because there is a cost for them to provide us a new bun. The whole experience was terrible…avoid like the plague.

Cesar Fernandez

Dear Guest, We’re truly sorry for the delays and mishandling of your order during your visit. The wait time for the shakes and food, as well as the issue with your son’s cheeseburger, falls short of the service we strive to provide. We also regret how the bun replacement request was handled. This isn’t how we aim to treat our guests, and we’re addressing this with our team to ensure better service in the future. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience. Best regards, Cesar A. Fernandez Cluster General Manager

Tummy Full, Superb Service Cool

Dec 2024 • solo

This restaurant is suitable for those who are looking for budget-friendly buffet. Russel accommodates my table from time to time and also pertaining to the dishes, you may try their pizza, grilled pork, and dinakdakan. However, the dishes were only limited, that's the only thing but generally, great experience.

Reynalyn & The Red Snapper

Mar 2024 • couples

Reynalyn waited on us and gave exceptional service. Very friendly & happy experience. We ordered the Red Snapper and she explained everything to us beforehand, the weight & price and even showed us it before it was cooked. Fabulous place to eat & drink. Don’t forget the fries as they are the best that we have had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

399 Best Deal Boracay Lunch Buffet

Aug 2024 • family

We had a great experience with Reynalyn who was so attentive to our needs. We arrived wet after our helmet diving and she gladly allowed us to be seated. We reserved before going to our trip after I passed by and saw this 399 buffet signage. Miss Reynalyn of 8 gladly showed me the buffet food. As listed, we feasted on their cajun seafoods, java rice, shanghai, siomai, kilawin, grilled pork and chicken, karekareng sitaw, and crab soup. Sweets are buko pandan, pudding and watermelon. They have pizza too, the first to be emptied all the time. The experience here redeemed our day 1 paluto by the burnt talipapa (don't do the same mistake). Lunch at 8 By the Beach is served from 11-2 so come early and be there within the 30min reservation or they'll give your slot to the waiting queue. With food and great service at 8 By the Beach and with Miss Reynalyn who serves with gusto and smile, this is a must try for the hungry travellers.

Great Lunch Buffet at 8 Eight!

Jul 2024 • family

Priced at Php399 add 25 for bottomless lemonade. It's a small restaurant in a hotel with the same name. Food is good even with limited variety, good value for money. Our waiters were Jeric and Jerome, they did an excellent job of serving us which made our meal very satisfying 😌

Sunset at Eight

Mar 2025 • friends

Went to Eight for happy hour and they offer a good promo, almost at 20% discount on their cocktails. Plus, amongst the places we’ve visited, their cocktail was by far the best. It boasts a good view of the beach especially during sunset as they have seats facing the shore. Kuya Russell and Jerald were very helpful in giving suggestions on what to order and what would pair best with the food; they we’re very accommodating and my friends and I surely had a good time.

Buffer is very affordable but delicious.

Their lunch buffet is affordable, which is only P399.00 and goes from 11:00AM to 2:00PM, and they have lots of food to choose from. We were served by Reynalyn, who was very attentive and served us pleasingly with a smile. All their servers are attentive and quick to their feet.

10/10 breakfast at Mandarin White Sand

Jan 2025 • family

During our stay at Mandarin White Sand, we had the pleasure of enjoying their breakfast, and it was nothing short of excellent. The variety of options catered to every preference—freshly baked pastries, a selection of fruits, perfectly cooked eggs, and a range of hot and cold dishes that made for a well-balanced meal. A special mention goes to Russel, our server, who truly elevated our experience. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured that we had everything we needed. His warm hospitality and professionalism made us feel welcome, and he even offered great recommendations on must-try items from the buffet.

I recently dined at your restaurant and had an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The highlight for me was the pancit which was outstanding. Additionally, the service was top-notch. The staff named Reinalyn was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making our visit even more enjoyable. I truly appreciate the effort you put into creating such a welcoming atmosphere. I look forward to returning soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us at 8 by the Beach. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Caesar salad and found the initial service to be fast and brilliant. However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your order. It is disheartening to learn about the mix-up and the long wait for your Carbonara pasta. This does not reflect the standard of service we strive to provide, and we will address this issue with our team to prevent such occurrences in the future. We appreciate your feedback on the salad's saltiness and will review our recipe to ensure better balance in flavors. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve. We hope you will give us another chance to provide you with a better dining experience. Thank you again for your feedback.

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere

Jun 2024 • family

This place is amazing for dinner! We all shared the caesar salad, pizza, seafood paella, chicken wings, and sizzling sisig, and they were all delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was really nice as well, with the live guitarist and singer, it was very relaxed. The staff were also incredibly friendly and responsive, with a special shout out to Reynalyn, Jeric, and Rusell. Highly recommend this place!

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at 8 by the beach, a charming beachfront restaurant that promises a delightful culinary experience against the backdrop of crashing waves and a stunning sunset. The open-air seating allowed us to enjoy the gentle sea breeze, and the decor featured nautical elements that added to the coastal charm. Service: From the moment we arrived, Jeric was attentive and friendly. He was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations without being intrusive. Drinks were served promptly, and our food arrived at just the right pace.
