Microtel by Wyndham Boracay

This place is really charming. Perfect for those travelers who want some quiet time in Boracay. I love that the property has beachfront access. Definitely love the view of Diniwid beach. Sunset is beautiful along with amazing rock formations. Be informed that the location is a bit isolated and it’s located before station 1. Be ready to pay a good fare for e-trikes when the shuttle is unavailable because the hotel sticks to their schedule for the free shuttle. It costs Php200 from D’Mall to hotel. Although, the staff can assist you booking an e-trike or van to your destination depends on availability. The place needs a bit of care because you can easily see some old amenities like the pool shower. or pool area in general, board games need to be replaced and just the overall feel of the hotel has to be improved because the lobby looks outdated. Staff is amazing though, we really appreciate the room change on our arrival day because we didn’t like the smell in the first room on the ground floor. The second floor just smells better and looks brighter. The staff tended to our requests right away. Special thanks to the driver who brought our gift to the nearby resort for our friends wedding, as we forgot it in the hotel room. Sorry we didn’t get his name. Thank you to Richel at the front desk and Alexa from housekeeping. All the staff from the restaurant and security is kind and friendly. Will definitely come back!

The staffs at Microtel are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be staying here again. Thank you

Nice and solemn place good if you dont like crowded beach area nice services free shuttle if you want to go on dmall and the staffs are friendly.

The hotel is on Diniwid Beach, pretty much at the very corner of the island. Since it is off-season, there were literally just a handful of us staying at the hotel. If you like a lot of privacy, this may be the resort for you, but let me share my experience with them. I stayed for 4 nights. The first 2 nights, their beach access smelled like a swamp. I couldn't bring myself to swim in the water or even stay on the beach. They have beach beds directly facing the sun without any shade or umbrella. The only time you can actually stay on the beach is during sunset (4 p.m. onwards) when the sun is tolerable, but they remove the beds even if the guests are still using them by 6 p.m. (they cite local government policy), forcing you to either sit on the swampy sand (they have beach towels, to be fair) or hang inside their resort by the pool, acting as entertainment for anyone dining at their restaurant since the pool benches are right beside it. Keep in mind that because of the resort's location, these are literally your only options if you truly just want to hang at the resort. During my 4 nights with them, I observed that they were more attentive to those eating at their restaurant than their actual guests. They could rearrange the tables and chairs for their diners, but not rearrange a beach umbrella from the pool to the beach for their guests. The only way you can hang by the beach (at least without the swampy smell) is by walking through the rocks connecting Diniwid to White Beach, riding an e-trike to go to stations 1–3, which could cost anywhere from 200 to 350 depending on where you want to go, or by taking their shuttle van, which will only drop you off at D'Mall (they are very strict about it). However, they have no problems picking up local families, friends, or neighbors along the way and dropping them off wherever they need to be before D'Mall. In the morning, if you ride their van in your beachwear to go to White Beach, remember it is not exclusive to hotel staff and guests; expect to have locals or the staff's friends in close proximity to you inside the van while you are in your beachwear. One of them even made a guest move from the front passenger seat because she wanted the seat, despite the driver and staff telling her not to. It was a good thing the guest was fine with it. The room attendant and reception are amazing, though; the room attendant is really great at keeping the room clean, including replenishing what you might need. The food at their restaurant is really good and worth the money, including their frozen margarita. I don't think I would be coming to this resort as a guest again. Most likely, I would visit to eat at their restaurant, but not to stay.
