I booked with Zuzuni for our stay in Boracay, mainly cause of the beach front location, the clean looking rooms, and the reviews I read online. I booked two rooms, the Premier beach front and a deluxe room (no view) which was almost the same price for both and it wasn’t cheap. Checking in was easy, the front desk staff was really helpful and accommodating. The rooms were nice and bright, looks really clean too. The bathroom looked clean but smelled like piss, I’m guessing it’s coming from the drains. That definitely threw us off.
Second day started good, breakfast was decent and the staff offered us beach towels and a beach mat. Around noon, we were back in the room and showered, the shower drain wouldn’t drain and the water started coming out on the other drain, almost flooding the bathroom. I told the staff about and he didn’t seem surprise in hearing this and it sounds like it’s an ongoing problem. We asked our room to be cleaned and the drains fixed if possible. Upon coming back from lunch, we stayed in our room to take a quick nap. We were greeted by construction next door, pounding our walls. It was crazy, unexpected, and unbearable! I told the staff downstairs and asked where it was coming from. He said it was next door and that they also informed everybody upon check-in. We were never informed about this and how is this acceptable?? For paying $140 dollars a night, I didn’t imagine this would be fine. To sum our stay up: Location was 7/10, yes, it’s beachfront, but all the boats doing tours for the island are docked right in front of Zuzuni. So you still gotta walk further to be able to swim. Staff was 7/10, most of them are really nice and accommodating, I also wish they told us about the construction prior to checking in or maybe even prior to booking the rooms. You come there to relax and unwind, and the construction right by our head kinda defeats the purpose. Rooms are 6/10, rooms look clean, although shower has clogged drains, moldy smelling room coming from the AC. For the price we paid, I expected a little more!
