I am happy again – why – because I am back in Boracay – just
relaxing. I promised myself during this trip to seek out a few of
Boracay’s secrets. Well I certainly found one its Pinjalo Beach Resort,
which is off the beach, by just 100 mtrs on Police Station Road. It’s like
a fairy tale resort. The rooms, which are very large, with all the mod
– cons which just melts into the lush tropical landscaping, with its
large trees and neat swimming pool. You enter the resort from the
busy street, over what the locals call the “ Bridge of Tranquility “. On
crossing this small Chinese styled wooden bridge you sudden feel the
relaxing tranquility of Pinjalo. Its odd but everyone feels the magic of
immersing oneself into the harmony of nature. I enquired about the
room rates which I found very reasonable. So Pinjalo is a clear
recommendation from me – after now 6 visits to Boracay

My partner and I just returned from a 3 night stay in a suite apartment at pinjalo. I was arriving with a broken foot from an accident prior to our vacation, and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating - nothing was a problem. The suite room is fantastic with a huge open living room and upstairs bedroom with excellent air conditioning. The pool area is small but very nice, just in need of updating (new umbrellas, updated bar area).

*Due to new Boracay laws, there are no longer sunloungers on the beach provided. This information should be updated for new visitors*

Overall the hotel was great, but some updates are definitely needed to make the resort true value for money. The hotel is beautiful, but needs a lick of paint and modernising. Nothing much has been changed since 2011 (based on reviewers pictures)

*the living room area in our suite was stunning, but also very hot and humid. The ceiling fan was not powerful enough. Extra upright fans and/or improving the ceiling fan would make a huge difference.
*the bathroom was great with a huge rain shower, but the water pressure and temperature weren't good at all, you ran out of "hot" water very quickly.
*the Internet was very bad - although there wasn't much better on most of the island. But anything to improve would help.
*breakfast was good, but "unlimited fruit and eggs" wasn't offered and the menus were very old and scruffy. The breakfast room was quite dark and dull and not very inviting - needs more light. Easily updated!

I hope the hotel can update, and make itself even better than it already is, we'd love to return. Huge Thanks to all the staff for making our visit truly wonderful!

LOVED THIS LOCATION! It was just a 5 minute walk to the beach and everywhere along White Beach. Walking in off the street it was like walking into a relaxing, tranquil garden. Never heard noises from the outside during our 8 day stay. Staff very friendly!
