I booked this hotel for my honeymoon, big mistake. On arriving, I requested for a sea view room and was instead given a room which overloooked a construction dump, despite having informed reception that we were on our honeymoon. It was all downhill from there. Everytime we went out, the door would lock shut and not open with the key card. We would spend ages waiting for the door to be unlocked. Imagine returning after a day out!! After this happened about 10 times over 2 days, I asked for a change of rooms and was refused again!!!
On the day we left Boracay, we wanted to book an airport drop off. Now my booking confirmation email specified a certain amount. On asking the front desk,they quoted a figure much higher. When I showed them the reservation email, the lady mumbled something about old rate and new rates.
The only good thing I have to say about this hotel are the hotel boys.They are pleasant and helpful.
Boracay is a lovely place, but this hotel can spoil the whole experience. For once I had discounted customer reviews while booking this hotel and it spoilt my honeymoon. If you are looking for a budget hotel experience, then this hotel will be suitable. But this hotel is needlessly on the expensive side. I have never had such terrible customer service anywhere else in the world,not even from budget hotels. If you are looking for a romantic experience or creating some good memories, stay away from the Palms!! Heed the bad reviews on here,they are here for a reason.
