    I wouldn’t call it resort to be honest, just a building with a rooftop pool. My room was comfortable and staff always kindly addressed my needs, but I had no natural light throughout my stay due to a window that can’t be open as it faces the back of the building. Missing bedside tables. Also mosquitoes seemed to be quite an issue.

    The king bed is extremely comfortable and breakfast is varied. Staff always welcoming.

    Only thing is it can be a little loud from the corridor so would recommend ear plugs but other than this it was perfect! Would stay again!

    This property is so clean, great location and has a nice pool and rooftop bar. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. They will give you towels for the beach or tours. They can book your tours for you and arrange airport transfers. About 15-20min walk to DMall. About 5min walk to the beach.

    The hotel staff is friendly, and the place was easy to find because you gave the address of the Mini Mart. My friend and I mostly traveled for work and leisure, and at times we would feel tired from walking from the beachfront back to the hotel, lol. The facilities work very well. They were able to accommodate our requests and also allowed us to stay on the top floor for our work. The internet fluctuated at times. You get what you pay for in ECL Hotel. My only issue was the distance from the beachfront. Haha.

    It’s on a busy street which is noisy all night. The room isn’t very sound proof but I’m assuming this would be the case in most of Boracay. Bring earplugs if you wish to sleep well.

    The property is nice and the beds are very comfortable. Plenty of pillows and blankets provided and the staff were lovely.

    Exceeds expectations

    The room we booked didn't have windows, so it can be a bit dark and claustrophobic at times. Breakfast options are a bit limited. Elevator doors open a bit slow; kinda suspenseful but creepy when you're arriving late at night.

    Our stay at ECL was surprisingly great. At the price range, you get the same comforts available in pricier options. What we liked: Wi-fi: Great wi-fi; extremely reliable; no limits. This alone seals the deal. Early check-in: Early check-in was especially helpful, considering that we arrived at the property at around 10 A.M. Upfront, the staff offered to check us in early since the room is already available. There were only 3 guests at ECL during our stay (Aug 10 - 13), which is nice since it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Staff: Staff were stellar, all of them were warm, helpful, courteous, and just pleasant to interact with. Air-conditioning: It's cold :) Rooftop bar: Drinks are so affordable, you could be forgiven for having a little too much; bar has great potential and can benefit from more creative and aggressive marketing. Competitive prices can only go so far; I suggest events to truly make the bar arive.

    Disappointing Stay – Be Aware of Windowless Rooms and Poor Conditions

    Before sharing my feedback, I strongly urge the hotel to update its Booking.com listing to clearly state that some rooms do not have real windows. We booked a double room, and upon arrival, I was shocked to find that our room had a fake window—one that didn’t let in any light and couldn’t be opened. On top of that, there was no Wi-Fi or cell signal in the bedroom, and the strong smell of mold made it unbearable for me, especially since I’m highly allergic. I immediately asked the receptionist if I could pay for an upgrade to a better room, but I was told that none were available. Left with no other choice, I started looking for accommodation elsewhere. Only after I informed the staff that I was leaving did they suddenly manage to find upgrade options, which we accepted. While these rooms were an improvement, they were far from ideal. The floor was filthy—after walking barefoot, my socks turned black instantly. The bathroom was missing basic essentials like toilet paper. The room faced the main street and was extremely noisy, with every sound from scooters, tuk-tuks, and people talking clearly audible inside. Breakfast was disappointing: The selection was very limited, and portions were small. I gave it two chances—one time, the eggs and bacon arrived fridge-cold and tasted terrible. The other time, I ordered a "continental breakfast" which consisted of just three tiny pieces of watermelon, three slices of bread, and butter. Housekeeping is only available on request, and during our six-night stay, I requested cleaning twice. The second time, the receptionist seemed annoyed by my request

    Close to station 2.

    I did not like the elevator not working at all. I got to watch 65+ Year olds carrying their luggage up and down the stairs. It is unacceptable to have your elevator out of service for so long. I did not like the staff, especially housekeeping. We tried to use housekeeping once and after the experience never even bothered asking them to clean again. They all have serious attitude problems and do not seem to care about the guests at all. The room had a problem with the bidet, it wouldn't turn off. It took multiple times asking to have it fixed and 24 hours before it was "fixed". After they "fixed" it, it just leaked the rest of the trip and the bathroom stayed more or less flooded. I didn't dare bother asking for that to be fixed as well and possibly upset the precious staff.

    The only thing I liked about my stay at ECL was the location.

    None at all.

    The locations is superb its near station 3 and accessible to the road. This allowed us to hail etrikes at any time with a normal fee instead of paying for special trip ranging from 15-30php(upto puka) Staff are really polite and helpful always all smiles, they even allowed my rented bike to be kept in their ground floor office. They also have a coffee shop and a grocery store at the ground floor which is very convenient during your “petsya de peligro days!”🤭 The room was also well kept and clean, you can request for a daily cleaning if you prefer. They also have beach towels for your beach trips and lastly they have a restaurant and a pool upstairs on the 5th floor of the hotel. Needless to say it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
