    Nothing really. I will say, we cut our stay short, originally 10 nights but stayed for 5. As we booked through a 3rd party, management were going to see if they could 'sell' our room and refund us for those nights. Never heard back from them. Apart from that, highly reccomend this resort.

    Location, location, location. Right on the beach, close to most things, great staff, food and facilities. Can not reccomend this place highly enough

    What we've just notice is the pool is not that clean and the room showed to us during the reservation is different from the room we've got during our stay. The name of the room is different.

    The sea view is really good. The live music was great especially the lady who use to sing every night.

    While it seems popular with Filipino audience, the "cruise ship" lounge singing wasn't my cup of tea.Best avoided.

    Hot water ran out with 4 people showering. It heated up after a 30 min wait so was ok. AC was not very cold.

    Friendly staff and management. Beachfront location was nice and in a great area. Breakfast was ok. The restaurant in the evening had an awesome menu for Italian and local Pilipino food. The live music was varied with some excellent performances. A really nice ambience. The room was a reasonable size and in a new part of the hotel.

    All in all, a perfect stay in Bora for a family of five.

    The rooms themselves were great – could just use a little more cleaning and I’d recommend some air fresheners too especially in the bathrooms but can’t really complain due to the fast turnover of guests I guess. Also, the hot water in our room was not as hot as I would’ve wanted. The hotel provides liquid soap and shampoo BTW and towels which you can bring with you to the beach. My recommendations for improvement would be: 1. Air fresheners in the rooms, esp. the bath rooms. 2. Hair dryer and a microwave would add more value to the guests 3. Dryer for the wet clothes or maybe even a clothesline to hang and dry our clothes would be great 4. Hot water in our room was not that hot as I would’ve wanted 5. Temperature control for the pool

    The check-in process was a breeze, the staff, from the reception/front desk to the waiters at the resto to the cleaners are very warm and accommodating – we have not encountered a single staff that was rude or unfriendly. Also, the staff won’t bother you with “tour/activity recommendations” unless you ask for it. Hence, kudos to the management for having well-trained staff. The place was great as it was right in front of the beach so you won’t really have to “plan” when to go to swim or just sit by the ocean as you can go anytime you want – especially when you have kids. They even let you borrow and use their banigs/mats for free! The food at the restaurants were great and affordable – they actually have 2 right on the premises, one offers a complete and different array of food choices and the other one offers quick meals (e.g., tocilog, longsilog, lechonsilog and the like). There is live entertainment every day from the afternoon till late evening and the music was great – you can see/hear the performers from both restaurants. BTW, there is a pool right between the 2 restaurants where you can relax, dip and eat while listening to good music, perfect right! However, the pool is not temperature controlled and it would even be more perfect if it was (especially for those who have babies/toddlers). If you feel like eating somewhere else, there are a lot of restaurants nearby – the food hub (which is like a food court) is where fire dancers perform every evening (3 performances with the first one around 7:30pm and the last one at 10:30pm – if I remember it correctly). One last thing is that the Wi-Fi is great in the rooms and you can also request Wi-Fi access in the restaurants which signal reaches up to the beach so you can browse while sitting on the sand.

    Furnitures are cement molded, its quite odd. Also, despite being a big room, there is also no seating desk.

    The location is convenient and beachfront. Really nice view. The room is very spacious. Staff was really nice and helped us with big luggages.

    clogged toilet but they were able to fix it; they could improve on their breakfast food choices. Construction is still on-going but will be finished soon; room cleaning and towel change is supposed to be every 2 days but it didn't happen; wifi not so stable but they let us borrow a portable wifi. So if working, suggest to bring your own.

    staff are so helpful; location -beach front and close to a lot of stores/resto; clean rooms; seamless check-in/out; value for money; airport transfer is a breeze - you can arrange it with them with additional cost; good food cept the breakfast options - especially for low carbers.

    we had quite a lot of black ants in the bedroom and bathroom, not after food but following paths across the room. we found them on our tooth brushes and in the sink. No service water available, as a in-house guest with breakfast provided it would be nice to have some water. we stayed 2 nights and had no housekeeping- not sure if this is normal or if we had to ask for extra water/coffee/towels. Only minor things, we would definitely stay here again!

    great location good breakfast friendly staff lovely view from restaurant big clean rooms

    maybe I’m too much used to of breakfast buffets, but Calypso doesn’t offer breakfast as a buffet, but only the breakfast menu where you can get one thing and not try out different food. there are also no fresh fruits and you have to decide between coffee or juice where usually I drink both for breakfast.

    very nice location. a bit away from the party mile do you can sleep well at night. and it’s directly at the beach, perfect for swimming or just refresh. very big rooms with plenty of space! the italian restaurant which is part of the hotel offers very good food with a big variety, there’s something for locals and for tourists. and the dive center which is also included gives the perfect opportunity to explore underwater, no matter if you just want to try out diving or if you’re a certified diver.
