Ferra Hotel and Garden Suites

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! This was by far my favorite accommodation out of the 5 hotels we stayed at during our trip in the Philippines. My husband and I came here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and were surprised to find that our room had been upgraded and decorated with scattered rose petals. The staff here is incredibly warm, attentive and helpful. The rooftop pool and bar area is a nice place to relax after spending all day at the beach. They provide a wide variety of breakfast options that change daily. The wifi worked well on the ground floor, but our friends had trouble connecting on the 3rd floor. The power did go off once during our stay, but they have a back up generator. The hotel, while not on the boardwalk, is a short walk to D'Mall and White Beach. Would highly recommend this hotel to our friends and family.

Staff is very nice like all over the Philipines. Thumbs up! Now where to start... we paid 90€/night for the most basic room.... here we go: Open air sewage right in front of the hotel lobby... We saw frogs on the path... the whole area is under construction with dust, dirt and machines everywhere. Walking to the beach is a nightmare as the hotel IS NOT ON THE BEACH - far from it! It’s next to a party hostel. If you are thinking of relaxing at the rooftop pool, take your hearplugs or headphones as you will need them. At night you will hear music until 1am. Again... hearplugs!! The room smelled like sewage / humidity, and the best is small - 150cms. We heard the people from the hall walking in/ out. Breakfast is ok if you are Asian, but forget it if not. Just eggs. Bread is dry and the only thing to put on top is butter (no ham, bacon or cheese, nothing!). The pool is falling apart... make sure to take one of the lose tiles as a souvenir as there are plenty on the bottom of the pool... Boracay was closed for 6 months, couldn’t the manager have fixed the key part of the hotel? Overall a bad experience... they had ratings on booking.com of 9 out of 10 - how? Do yourself a favor, get a hotel close to the beach or on the beach... if you have already made your reservation, upgrade to a premium room for some confort / space as the view from our room was a wall...

Great rooms and rooftop pool. In a side street away from beaches though but a short walk there
