It was an nightmare, we counldn't sleep all the night because of talking, shouting, singing, baby crying near our room. And facility was also very dirty and worst.

My friend and I had a great stay at Deparis. The staff are friendly and helpful, making our stay a comfortable one. We also got to meet the owners and Mate (their dog) who were very welcoming! Also, make sure to checkout the Ice Flakes place next door!

A pleasant stay in Boracay.
Its's a beachfront hotel that allows you to be on the water a few feet away. If you like to walk on the white sand in the early morning this hotel is the answer. The staff was respectful and helpful , Rodin carried my luggage from the main street to the narrow unpaved lane to the hotel..about 10 -minute walk. I liked the breakfast staff too. You can have breakfast without having to wait long, if you will pre-order the night before. They start at 7:30 am. The hotel is pretty basic with hot water without toiletries. It's a 2-storey hotel, easily accessible if you can still walk up the stairs. I had a pleasant stay that wanted to add another day but the next vacancy is in January 2020

Family-Friendly beach front hotel
Location wise since it's in station 2 Beach front center of activities, a bit distant to D'mall about 5-6 mins walk. A bit far for an elderly. But they said there is a path connected to the road just right beside their hotel. It would be better if there is a signage. The room is old but it's okay since it's spacious and have refrigerator and TV. There is a safe but no battery just manual key. CR is big. They provide free breakfast. Plus points for hot/cold water dispensers in common area. Staff are friendly and approachable. Overall had a great stay in this hotel.

If you want to enjoy Boracay but a little tight on the budget, this place a very good deal. It is literally in the middle of station 2, beside more expensive hotels, right in front of the beautiful white sand beach, few minutes walk from the D’Mall and several food choices in the area. It does not have rooms with views, it looks like a big house converted into a small hotel, it has a homey feel to it. It does not offer world class accommodations but it offers high quality service for its guests. If you expect high class accommodations, go pay more somewhere else, but if you just need a place to sleep after enjoying the beautiful beach, white sand and spectacular sunset, this place will be great. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one. Cant wait to be back.

THE ROOM SAFES ARE NOT SAFE.
Be sure to bring your own soap and shampoo as they have none. And if having a safe in your room is important to you, take care!! Yes, the rooms have safes, but they ARE NOT SAFE!! The safes are not bolted down and can be carried away by a thief in a large suitcase. The safes are useless.

This resort was even better than I expected! It was an excellent deal! I couldn't have gotten any closer to the beach and the staff was super friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. We got fresh beach towels daily, and the breakfast and bar were wonderful. I can't wait to go back!

Disliked: Room comfort
The accommodation is a bit old but we have observed that they are undergoing some renovation bits here and there. The air conditioning unit in our room is not working well. It's still comfortable enough most especially the location..it's in Station 2 and beach front! Their dinner buffet is reasonably good and reasonably priced. The only problem is it's hard to find from the main road as the small narrow way from the main road is only half cemented and it's a long walk for an elderly 81yo and for persons with disability. But if you contact the hotel and request for assistance they are willing enough to extend whatever help they can extend. Most of the staff are friendly enough..I guess you can't win them all. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Beachfront hotel with good hotel staff
I stayed at Deparis for 3 nights and it was quite a good experience. When we arrived, the staff helped us carry our luggage to the rooms. The room was pretty clean with the basic facilities. However toiletries like shampoo wasn't provided, but could be purchased from the hotel reception. The breakfast was quite good and there were both continental and Filipino options to choose from. The fresh fruit juice was so delicious. The hotel has an attached juice and corn counters. The staff were very quick to respond in case of a complain and the lady at the reception was very very helpful.

Deparis Beach Resort-HIRE BETTER FRONT DESK STAFF
Front Desk was too busy when we arrived at her desk, she didn't even tell us to sit first and wait while she was busy with something i don't know, to mention her co-front desk too. Rooms got nothing even soap or tissue, you'll have to ask and go down again. They don't know how to apologize for their negligence. Serving crew and guard are okay, they are better than those assign in the front desk. Even for foreign people, wow, their too lazy to smile and greet... They forgot they got their salary because of the people who trusted them to be in their service. And we lost around 500 or more pesos, crew got into our rooms for make up without us, our things was scattered there, we left our door in "don't disturb" but still they got in. Their reason is maybe it was turned by the air to make up room. And they don't have breakfast pack for those who leave earlier than their breakfast schedule. Front Desk Staff are too lazy to accommodate people coming to their hotel. We almost got the chance to talk with the boss, but we choose not... we were thinking then that they might lost their job. But now, i think it's better for them to hire new and better staff... it will just ruin their business. We know how business goes with staff like that, that's the reason maybe, they got few customers...
Response from Manager on 4 Mar 2017
Hi "anonymous" it seems you have a lot to complain about, perhaps you are not used to how things are in the Philippines. You are our first customer to ever accuse our employees of theft. You should be very sure of your facts before you accuse on public media like this. If you can prove this theft, I will gladly refund you in full.

Inexpensive hotel right in front of the beach
1. Had to walk over a mile from Central Highway to reach hotel as government disallowed dropping guests through beach. Good thing I only had backpack. Those with heavy luggage, good luck. Not hotel's fault. 2. Old room but renovated and clean. Staff cleans everyday even if you don't want/tell them. 3. All bathroom fixtures I needed were there like hand bidet. Good thing toilet bowls are intended for tall people. Most toilet bowl in Philippines are so low, you dip something into the water you don't want to get wet. 4. AC noisy.
Response from Manager on 25 Feb 2017
Haha James I can relate to your comments regarding tall people! Thanks for your review, yes its true the city did not make many proper roads here, but the walk is in fact about 400m and our staff can carry your bags if we know you are coming!
