尋找長灘島的5星級酒店

第二次入住探索了。來長灘島住探索是個省心的選擇，位於S1，較為安靜，沙灘質量也好，且免費接送機，而且遇到的每一位服務人員態度都超級nice～泳池雖然不大，但旁邊有熱水池，泡一泡還是很舒服的；早餐種類不多，比較熱門的菜品去晚了就沒有；房間還算大，但如果對光線敏感人士記得攜帶眼罩，因為房間使用捲簾，不遮光且漏光嚴重，所以睡得不太好，晚睡早醒很是疲憊。淋浴水壓很足夠，這點很贊～畢竟洗個舒服的熱水澡很重要。如果房間能換成遮光窗簾，我覺得我之後去長灘還會再次選擇探索。

不愧是長灘島的第一酒店，接送服務貼心，專屬碼頭的尊貴感。度假村裡設施一應俱全，房間的設施保持的很好的狀態，安靜，不打擾的服務貼心周到。

住了這麼多酒店，第一次遇到這種顛倒黑白的糟心事！退房時前台突然説房間裏的晾衣架是我們弄壞的，張口就要賠償950比索。我們打開晾衣架的時候就是壞的，當時還覺得可能是酒店沒及時更換，反正能湊合用沒太在意，結果現在倒成了我們的“罪證”。 跟他們理論，前台就衹會翻來覆去説“入住時沒問題，退房時發現就是你們弄的”，還要我們舉證，合著住你們家酒店，衹要房間裏有任何損壞，最後都能賴到客人頭上？這種故意冤枉人的操作也太下頭了，以後這輩子都不會再來，也勸大家避雷！

房間內部設施的話，跟我們國內1000多一晚的差不多，無功無過，挺普通的。這個價格（2300元一晚）主要是付款了酒店的私人沙灘、服務（託管孩子，每天都有孩子的手工課，偶爾會有泳池派對）以及酒店公共的設施（3個泳池，一個小童泳池）。 我們住了10晚，走的時候免費將我們送到了飛機場（汽車+快艇+汽車），自己付款給政府環境保護費，上島費，這個服務還是槓槓的。你們退房的時候，可以問問能否提供這個服務。 如果第一次入住，想讓酒店接機的話，建議直接跟酒店聯繫，攜程這個酒店接機費非常貴。 酒店的隔壁是“瑞享度假村”，再隔壁就是香格里拉酒店。可以比較一下價格。

We stayed in Movenpick for one whole week following the recommendation from a friend who stayed there twice already when she traveled to Boracay, and on the whole, we didn’t regret this choice either. We’ll share some positive things first, then negative. It was our first time to visit the island, and we knew that the White Beach area is always crowded, full of beggars and people offering you to go sailing or try out massage at their salon literally every five steps which is quite annoying. On the contrary, Movenpick is a quiet and secluded place where you can enjoy your vacations at the fullest. The prices in the resort restaurants are almost the same as in the White Beach cafes, maybe a little higher, but the food is way more delicious (we especially loved the dishes in Brezza). We didn’t expect it to be so good after reading some negative reviews on Ctrip, so it was a nice surprise. The breakfast was also amazing, with a variety of options and outstanding service (and they do have black coffee, so don’t trust those who mention that there is no coffee at the breakfast buffet). But what impressed us most was a very warm and friendly attitude of all staff to every single guest. They always approached us with a big smile, and after several days of staying, they could even remember our cocktail preferences at daily Happy Hour! Nice little sweet treats at Chocolate hour, live music from 6pm daily, plenty of space and activities offered at the resort - we loved it a lot. However, there are some tiny things you must know before booking. Half of the swimming pool might be closed for maintenance, which is totally understandable yet isn’t what you expect when choosing this hotel (neither it is convenient nor pleasant to see). Although the rooms are comfortable and clean, you can see they haven’t been renovated for a while (AC/fridge are quite noisy, some things like shower gel dispenser might get broken easily - but they can be replaced at once if you inform the hotel). Last, if you are unlucky with neighbours (especially if there’s a family with an infant in the room one floor above yours), then you might enjoy terrible noise all the day as the rooms are not soundproof. We couldn’t sleep for 2 nights, and only on the 3rd night we were offered a bigger room for sleeping overnight (but the AC was loud there, not to mention some weird sounds outside in the middle of the night - could be an electricity generator or something else - that woke us up and we had to move back to our main room with the hope that our neighbours were fast asleep). In a word, it is recommended to bring some earplugs and not hesitate to inform the receptionists about any problem you have at once and ask for an immediate solution. Generally speaking, if we ever decide to return to Boracay for vacations, it’s highly likely we will choose Movenpick for the whole stay time again.
