The staff here are helpful and honest. I forgot to get my deposit because we have an early flight but the staff help me get my money back and everything went smooth and fast. I appreciate everyone's help in making this possible.

We planned for our honeymoon trip. after we reached the kalibo airport we took rental van to the jetty. the ride along the way to jetty was so amazing. paddy field was so refreshing for eyes. but it was poor driving by the driver. it was so crowded in the jetty. but we manage to buy ticket. boat was worst nightmare because there is no life jacket was provided. even the boat was like world war II. from the jetty it took 20 mins to reach boracay island. we took tricycle to the hotel. tricycle man charged us around malaysian ringgit 10. good experience though. we never expect the beauty of the boracay beach. but it was like dream come true. the resort staff name negion was so nice. he gave us beach view resort. the view was spectacular. even though Crystal Sand Beach Resorts was average but can be considered it has everything. from the day we checking we enjoyed every moments! boracay people are so friendly. but the prices is slightly higher. its depends on how you bargain. the most unforgettable moment was sunset cruise. sunset is HEAVEN!!! last day on the honeymoon vacation we booked in crown regency resort. the worst thing is the good resort fail to provide good accommodation. no proper water tab was install inside the bathroom. by the way don't forget to try cliff diving and other water activity at boracay. you wont regret people!!!

Last March, My husband and I attended a wedding in Boracay where the reception is set on Station 1. I initially looked in Agoda within Station 1 and try to check the cheapest within the range (since we just went to Boracay 2 months ago) that has a good review and a breakfast package.

I then discovered Crystal Sands Resort, every time I go to Boracay I always see this place. So serene and quiet, where you can still see uncut coconut tree at the beachfront. I promised to myself that one day I'm going to sleep there. And I am glad that I did, we booked the hotel and much to our surprise upon checking in, one of the staff mentioned that they will be closed for renovation in 2 months time since the hotel was already been brought by Hennan Resorts.

The hotel was a bit old but it was fine. They welcomed us with free drink and they even assisted us to the room. I love the room, the location was just in front of the beach and has a nice sea view. The bed was big and can accommodate 4 persons. It has the usual closet, table, mirror, refrigerator and aircon (a bit old window type aircon). The bathroom is also big and has an adjustable hot/cold shower in it, and of course, my favorite bidet attached to the toilet.

The breakfast set menu was okay, they have a selection of Western, Filipino and Intercontinental meal. We took out breakfast in front of our hotel room which is really cool. They have this table just beside the walkway where people usually passes by. They also do have a beach chair in front where you can sunbath until 5pm only.

I am saddened that after 8-10 years the hotel will be brought down. I hope the new resort will be as nice and homey like Crystal Sands.
