Alta Vista De Boracay

The view was breath taking, quite and away from the buzz. Only problem during our stay was the lack of shuttle going to D'Mall. There were lots of tourists traveling in groups that you have to wait for quite some time to get a ride.

Hotel is very far away from main atractions of the island but have efficient transfers to town and Puka beach, spacious rooms but require renovation, breakfast not good, very often cold, no salt and pepper available at tables, decent size pool

Alta Vista is placed on the top of the hill and one can feel it by the pool when it gets windy. Hotel is nice, provides a shuttle to the D-Mall from 8am to there until midnight from there. You cannot expect much from the neighborhood as it very poor around. But you can expect at least a good food breakfast - unfortunately, this was a big fail. The food was not good. I am not picky with food and I can eat almost everything and in diverse quality. So I ended with eating only fruits and having corn flakes with milk (the milk was served with ice :). I would strongly recommend to Alta Vista management to get some good chef or send somebody from the existing kitchen staff to gain more experience elsewhere as elsewhere is still better than that. Puka beach was great place with shuttle going there every hour. White beach is traditionally crowded which makes it a hot spot for single people.

Great staff, rooms were clean, food was excellent

Jayson from the guest services desk is the star and the reason why it earned a 3 not a 2 in my opinion. He really went all out to help me out and certainly deserves a nice tip Eds from front desk is amazing too. She was v helpful and sweet. Definitely it's the people that make alta vista bearable. I stayed for only 1 night and moved to fairways and blue waters (couldn't get 3 nights in fairways so booked 1 night alta 2 nights fairways) Rooms - a few things were falling apart but I didn't mind it much as they were large loft units and make for great house parties. Food - only had the breakfast and it was something you should probably pass on Location - farrrrr.. Each shuttle service took a while to get there and to wait for. They compensated by improving frequency of shuttles which was great though! People - as it is a large hotel, you get all sorts - partying locals, prcs, Koreans and other south East Asians. Mostly big groups. The hotel was very flexible with our needs. Thank you alta vista!
