The owners Stefanie and Jun were awesome hosts! The room was big and clean but has no TV. Beware that the trail to Punta Bunga Beach is not for the faint of heart. It’s a somewhat steep semi maintained trail. The road to get to the front of the resort is somewhat small and bumpy. If seclusion from all the bustle of Boracay is what you’re looking for then this is the place to be!

The argonauta is more like a bed and breakfast than a boutique hotel. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The daily breakfast are simple made to order options and pretty good. It wasn’t quite what we were expecting though and ended up checking out early. The previous reviews are misleading as there isn’t a pool and the beach access path is really dangerous. We ended up spending the majority of our time elsewhere on the island so we could spend time at the beach and have food options. This would be a good choice for those wishing to be away from the beach and crowds. Great spot to enjoy the views from up high.

Dear Michelle, thank you for you review. Rest assured we shall improve the aspects highlighted by you, especially the nature trail to the nearby serene beach that raised your concerns as the hillside is like a short trekking adventure. Warmest, Stefanie

Staff and owner are super nice and helpful, you have access to a super nice beach in Boracay but the road to beach is a little harsh but worth it. I recommend staying here, just keep in mind you are on an island with limited resources so don’t be an entitled tourist and help them conserve resources by re-using towels and such.

This place was perfect for our stay in Boracay, the location is a bit secluded and away from the main, busier beach where all the tourist go or stay at. But thats what made it all so great as well, you dont get all the traffic noise. Its very peaceful and has the best views of one of the best beaches on the island

Excellent stay in great hotel
Our room in this hotel was a very large suite overlooking the beach. The suite included a large kingsize bed, couches and tables, large overlook windows to see the ocean, and a huge bathroom, which included a massive shower and hot tub. The hotel itself is very modern and well decorated, with only 8 total suites. It includes fountains, patios, balconies, a breakfast area, dining room, two pools, and a bar. The WiFi was the fastest we had in all of the Philippines. My wife and I spend a few nights here on our honeymoon and it was easily the nicest hotel we stayed at in the Philippines. It's about a 5 minute drive (complimentary) to the main White Beach, and about 5 minutes to other smaller beaches. The hotel staff even gave us a complimentary tour of the island and drove us wherever we needed. The food was excellent -- all made to order. Just tell them what you want for dinner (we ordered grilled fish and prawns), and they'll have it ready for you when you get home at the end of the night. This hotel is not on the main strip of the island, which is it's best feature. It's quiet, in very good condition, and the staff are quite attentive. Stay here if you want a high class getaway, that's not in the middle of the White Beach party scene (though that's only 5 minutes away). I stay in 20-30 hotels a year, and this was one of the best.

A home away from home!
For us this hotel felt like a home away from home, it had a great atmosphere, all the staff were super friendly, the rooms were very comfortable, and we loved the fact that the hotel had pets - budgies, fish and turtles! As there are only 5 rooms, you get a very personal and attentive service. The service we had here was very unique, we have never experienced anything like this and other hotels should aim to be this good. At the end of our 3 month trip this was the best service we had, and the first where we had made friends with the staff! We ate breakfast here everyday, and there was a fantastic choice - best pancakes we've had and the Filipino breakfast was amazing! We also had lunch and dinner here quite a few times, which was traditional Filipino food and each time it was cooked fresh and tasted great. By the end of our stay it felt like we were leaving family and not hotel staff, huge thanks to Jun and the girls for making our stay so amazing! We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting the perfect relaxing holiday in Boracay away from the hustle and bustle of White Beach.

A real home away from home
The staff were so friendly that staying there felt like coming home! The hotel is set in picture perfect jungle ans away from the main tourist drag, so is a fantastic place to relax. But the hotel offers a free on demand shuttle to anywhere on the island, so you can join the crowds, if you wish.

Great choice to avoid the crowds
Really enjoyed my stay at Argonauta. Stephanie, Jun and the team were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The location is away from the crowds of white beach, but close to a couple of beautiful, much more secluded spots, which in my view are far more enjoyable. To get around, the hotel is always ready to drive you around the island if needed. To avoid disappointment, be aware there is some construction next door, but this didn't cause any issues for me, couldn't hear anything from inside my room and you can just look out over the water instead of next door. The staff deserve a special mention as well. A great team, consistently going the extra mile with little things like escorting you to where you'd like to go. The rooms are great, spacious, clean and in excellent condition. Very happy to recommend Argonauta.

Friendly hotel with a MAJOR construction next door
The hotel and the staff is very friendly, a generally pleasant stay. It's FAR from any beaches, you have to take a tricycle to get to them (PHP150 for the return trip). Also, there is a major construction that started nearby for a giga-hotel, so it's actually very noisy Monday-Sunday, morning to evening.

Relaxation out of town
The hotel is situated quite a way from town and white beach and has a nice relaxed vibe. They run a shuttle to town (10 mins) on demand and you can get a tuktuk back for about 150 pesos. Staff are incredibly friendly and will do anything for you, they even helped me do the ice bucket challenge (and took a worrying about of joy from it). There are pools on site but the slight downside it that it's not beachfront so even though you can see the beach it's really a shuttle ride to get to one, it is pretty close to puka shell beach though which is really beautiful and quiet and a different experience to white beach. Definitely recommend for anyone not so interested in bar hopping in town.

Secluded and quiet get away
Our stay was incredible. From the moment we arrived it was a place we will go back to over and over again. It offers the quietness of a peaceful vacation and the access to get were you need to go. The villa we stayed at was very nice with a wonderful master with a yacuzzi tub and upstairs away from the other guest bedrooms. If your going with a large group they have a 3 bedroom with 3 bathrooms. The view from the villa was breathtaking. The free breakfast was always delicious. The staff very friendly and helpful. The Manager and his staff do everything they can to be of assistance to you always. The Puka beach is only 5 min by car or trike and it is secluded and beautiful . I can keep on going about how happy we were To stay here, I am an airline employee and have stayed in Many places over the last 30 years and I will say if your looking for a place to stay in Boracay this should be on your top picks.

Very nice and comfortable boutique hotel.
From the moment we waked up the steps we were greeted by the hotel manager June. The warm hospitality extended us made us feel like we're part of their family. The view from the balcony at sunset is spectacular, also we witnessed a flock of fruit bats migrating across the skies to get their fruits then fly back. We had the garden room on second floor which has its own verandar. Breakfast is free and also taxi rides into town. We also went island hopping and snorkeling. The whole experience was wonderful. I certainly would recommend this hotel.

Excellent 4 families, groups, couples or singles.
Really an excellent experience. I needed to combine business within the holiday component and it was wonderful to do that here. The owners, management and staff were all so helpful beyond the normal requirements and just made everything so easy. Internet wireless was an issue with the sat provider, but I was very quickly taken care of with a usb stick so my work was not slowed down. A little bit away from the main beach and restaurant area, which I really liked, giving peace and quiet, and they included transport down whenever required. Return was always with a tricycle which I paid but very easy and not expensive. I need to travel a lot and being here was a real pleasure from all requirements.

I arrived very late around midnight due to work necessity. Upon my arrival all staff were waiting for me and providing me with warm greeting and refresco drink...they were friendly and just like your family members. Though the water pipe of the toilet container was leaking both naturalized and eco-stylish design of the room made me feel quite relaxed. Botanical garden surrounded the whole residential area, tranquil and clean environment put you far away from downtown noise and chaos.Nice staying experience.

가족같은 호텔 직원들
대부분의 직원들이 마중을 나와서 환영해주어 여지껏 다녀본 호텔에서 느끼지 못한 친근함을 느낄수 있었다. 이전에 머무르던 호텔까지 픽업을 해줘서 너무 편리했다. 준(직원인지 사장님인지는 모르겠으나)은 너무 꼼꼼하고 친절한 사람이었다. 주변의 해변으로 얼마든지 데려다준다며 각각의 비치들에 대해 설명을 해주었다. 준 및 직원들은 항상 우리 딸에게 이름을 부르며 다정하게 맞아주었으며 머리도 땋아주고 같이 놀아주었다. 아주 최신식 시설은 아니지만 충분하게 좋은 시설이었으며 한국의 콘도처럼 주방시설이 갖춰져있어 오래 머무르면서 필요한 재료들을 사와 식사를 해결할수도 있다. 수십번의 해외여행을 다녀보면서 한번도 느끼지 못한 색다르고 친근한 느낌의 호텔과 직원들 덕에 조만간 꼭 다시 보라카이로 가서 아르고나우타에 머무르고 싶어진다.

Heavenly. Beautiful rooms, great hospitality.
First of all, I loved the hotel staff. They were accommodating with whatever happened and the smart staff with great hospitality made my trip even more wonderful. Of course, the room was great, too. Coming from Japan, I tend to be a bit picky about cleanness but it was very clean and comfortable. Only thing I would point out is that the bathtub was not completely clean- but I guess this is not a big problem for shower users. As the hotel is a little distanced from the center of the island (distanced here means that it is 5-7 minutes away by tricycle), I got to enjoy the touristic part of the island as well as the quiet, tender time around the hotel which is surrounded by great nature.

Great hospitality!!!
I stayed with my family (wife, son and mother in law) and experienced excellent customer services with kind hospitality. They do not have their own private beach but provide us free transportation to Puka Beach and White Sands Beach. Their staffs kindly assisted us to find a good private taxi to go back to Kalibo Airport so that we can go back to the airport without worrying. The expense for transportation was - Hotel to jetty port: Php 300.00 per vehicle - Boat: Php 120 per person - Jetty port to Kalibo Airport (private van): Php 1,500 per vehicle.

최고의 휴가 - 보라카이 아르고나우타 호텔
아르고나우타 호텔은 아주 조용하며, 깨끗하고 아침마다 맛있는 식사를 방에서 제공 받을 수 있습니다. 그리고 뷰와 호텔은 어느 호텔보다 아름답습니다. 바로 앞에 바다가 보이며, 가까운 곳에 푸카 비치가 있어서 손 쉽게 갈 수 있습니다. 저와 와이프는 여기서 정말 즐거운 여름 휴가를 보냈습니다. 저녁에는 발코니에서 맛있는 해산물 요리를 먹을 수 있어요. 제일 중요한 것 중 하나는 호텔 직원들이 가족과 같이 편하게 대해 준다는 점입니다. 정말 최고의 호텔입니다. 다시 보라카이에 간다면, 또 다시 아르고나우타에 머물 예정입니다.
