COAST Boracay: Paradise Found (Unbelievable Photos!)
Okay, buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into COAST Boracay: Paradise Found. And trust me, after sifting through the photos (unbelievable, as advertised!), the descriptions, and, well, a whole lot of information, I've got a messy, honest, and hopefully hilarious review that'll persuade you to book this place. Consider this your personal, slightly chaotic, travel diary entry.
(SEO-Friendly Title: COAST Boracay Review: Honestly Unbelievable! Beach Bliss & COVID-Safe Paradise)
First, let's get the formalities out of the way. This isn't just a hotel; it's COAST. And yes, that's important for the search engines, so you know, Google.
Accessibility:
Okay, so accessibility. This is a big one for some folks, and honestly, it's something I always look for, even if I don't personally need it. COAST says they have "facilities for disabled guests." Good. It does have an elevator, which is a major plus. But I need a little more detail. Are the rooms truly accessible? Are the ramps easy to navigate? This section needs more digging, and I'd suggest reaching out directly to COAST for specifics before you book if accessibility is a must-have. I'm going to guess their is some accessibility but not necessarily a full spread.
Cleanliness and Safety (The COVID Factor):
Alright, let's address the elephant in the room: COVID. This is a huge factor these days, and COAST seems to be taking it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Double-check. They've got this whole laundry list of measures: professional sanitizing, room sanitization opt-out (that's good to avoid waste), safe dining setup, etc. Honestly, reading this list makes me feel a little…relieved. Like, okay, they get it. It makes me think it's probably safe enough to feel comfortable.
The Rooms: Your Personal Oasis (Maybe!)
The list of room amenities reads like a dream. Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms? Hallelujah! Okay, so they’re putting effort into the wi-fi, that is a HUGE win for me. I NEED that. I'm addicted to my phone, but the fact the hotel is going all out to give us a decent connection is a major bonus. Air conditioning? Of course! Blackout curtains? YES, please! Mini bar? (I'm not going to lie, that's a huge selling point for me). Bathrobes? Now we're talking luxury! The fact that you have a desk, laptop workspace, and Internet Access (LAN) is nice, especially as I like to work, but also, this isn't the time I will be working!
Now, the little imperfections. Room decorations? Sounds nice and all, it will probably be some flowers, or something. Also, the list doesn't state the kind of bed, which is a huge deal for me. Is it super soft and fluffy? Super firm? I'd need to make a special request. Also the complimentary tea. Will it be some cheap Lipton, or something actually worth drinking? These little details matter!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling Your Paradise Addiction
Okay, this is where it gets really interesting. Restaurants, a poolside bar, a coffee shop, and a snack bar? Yes, please! Breakfast buffet? HELL YES! I love a good buffet. A la carte, Asian cuisine, International cuisine, Western cuisine? They've got options for everyone! And a vegetarian restaurant? Score! This is a win in terms of variety.
But, I'm curious. Is the coffee shop any good? Is the poolside bar serving overly sweet cocktails or something actually creative? Are they making the most of fresh, tropical fruits? I want to know. I want specifics!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Paradise is Calling!
This is where COAST really shines. Swimming pool (outdoor)? Check. Pool with a view? Ooh, now you're talking! The photos show it, and it looks stunning.
This is where my attention really gets piqued by the Spa options… Spa/sauna - Yes, that's a classic, but I'm imagining more than just a basic spa.
Body scrub, body wrap, massage, foot bath? Ooh, I'm already relaxed! And a sauna? Okay, I'm picturing myself in the sauna, sweating out the stresses of city life and the chaos of my own brain.
Fitness center, gym/fitness I'm not even going to pretend I'd use the fitness center, but it's good to know it's there for the serious vacationers.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
This is where COAST proves it's more than just a pretty face. 24-hour front desk, concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, and room service (24-hour)? Excellent! Currency exchange, cash withdrawal, and a convenience store? Super practical. Airport transfer? Necessary! Free car park on-site? Bonus points!
For the Kids:
Babysitting service? Excellent for the parents. Family/child friendly and kid's facilities? More excellent!
Getting Around:
I noted Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service, Valet parking. This list doesn't mention bicycles! I would be seriously tempted to rent a bicycle for exploring Boracay. Can I rent a bike from the hotel? Big question!
The (Slightly) Messy Middle: A Real-Life Anecdote
I've got a friend, let's call her Sarah. Sarah, bless her heart, is a terrible planner. She booked a "luxury resort" once in Bali, only to find out the "luxury" meant a slightly fancier hut with no AC. She was miserable. What's the point of all the bells and whistles if the basics stink?
With COAST, the key is to verify their offerings before you book!
My Quirky Observation:
The photos. The photos! They're gorgeous. Seriously. But I always take photos with a grain of salt. They can be deceptively perfect. Reality is rarely as flawless as a professionally-lit image.
The Emotional Reaction:
Okay, here it is. I'm actually… tempted. Very tempted. The thought of waking up, walking a few steps, and finding myself at that pool with a view is incredibly appealing. The spa sounds divine. And the thought of a buffet breakfast… well, let's just say I'm already planning my strategy.
The Opinionated Language:
COAST Boracay looks like a solid choice. The amenities are impressive, the safety measures make me feel comfortable, and the overall vibe seems to be pure relaxation.
The Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect):
The photos, as I said before, could be tweaked. I'd want to make sure their wi-fi is actually strong. Check the fine print. And most importantly, verify the accessibility details if that's a crucial need.
The Stream-of-Consciousness Rant (Because We're Being Honest Here):
I just need to see the room, personally! And the food! I'm a sucker for a good meal and that is a big deal to me.
Stronger emotional reactions:
I really need that room with a view! Ahhh!

Gatton's Royal Hotel: Luxury Awaits (Escape to Paradise!)
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're doing BORACAY. Not the perfectly curated Insta-trip, no sir. This is the real, sandy, sunburnt, late-night-karaoke Boracay, Coast edition. And let me tell you, it's going to be…an experience.
BORACAY: COAST Edition - Where My Sanity Goes on Holiday (and My Wallet Weeps)
(Note: All times are…ish. Island time, people. It's a thing.)
Day 1: Arrival and the First, Glorious, Sand-Between-the-Toes Moment
- 10:00 AM (supposedly): Land at Caticlan Airport (God help us). Seriously, navigating this airport is half the adventure. It's a delightful chaos of tricycles, porters yelling your name (probably incorrectly), and a general feeling of "Am I even going the right way?".
- 11:00 AM (maybe): Ferry to Boracay. The moment you hit that turquoise water? Pure bliss. Forget your worries, forget your life, just inhale the salty air and try not to scream with joy.
- 12:00 PM (hunger strikes): Check into Coast. Oh. My. God. The lobby alone is Instagram-worthy. It's sleek, modern, and the staff are ridiculously friendly. I swear, they practically knew I needed a cold towel after that airport ordeal.
- 1:00 PM (ish): Lunch at Coast's restaurant, I think it's called "Vogue" or something equally chic. I ordered the grilled seafood platter but… the rice, people. The rice was criminally good. Like, I almost considered proposing.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Unpack (a valiant effort, I swear), attempt to apply sunscreen without looking like a lobster, and settle in. Okay, maybe I took a power nap on the balcony. The sounds of the waves are hypnotic, okay? DON'T JUDGE.
- 4:00 PM - Sunset (whenever that is): WHITE BEACH. HOLY. MOLY. This is why we're here. The sand is like powdered sugar, the water is crystal clear… I nearly lost my mind. Wandered aimlessly for a while, just soaking in the view, occasionally side-stepping the aggressive vendors selling sunglasses and beach bags (they are relentless, I tell you!).
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Sunset cocktails. Found a little beach bar (I have no idea what it was called, I was busy admiring the sunset). Had a margarita. Make that two margaritas. Okay, maybe three. (Don't judge, it was my first time on the island!) Gorgeous. Truly stunning.
- 8:00 PM -… whenever I stumble back to the hotel: Dinner. Found a place that served amazing seafood. The whole evening was a bit of a blur of delicious food, laughter, and maybe a little bit of karaoke – karaoke in the Philippines is an experience in itself! Let's just say, my rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" was… enthusiastic. And probably embarrassing. But hey, when in Rome, sing about Freddie Mercury.
Day 2: Adventure, Anguish, and a Near-Disaster with a Banana Boat
- 9:00 AM (trying to be responsible): Wake up (after the karaoke). Coffee, glorious coffee. Needed to make this entire trip work.
- 10:00 AM: Boat trip. I can't remember the exact name of the tour, but it involved snorkeling, fishing, and island hopping. Snorkeling was… fine. I saw some fish. Fishing was a disaster (I caught nothing). Island hopping was beautiful.
- 12:00 PM: Island Hopping and Lunch: Enjoyed the most delicious grilled chicken at a small island. The water was so crystal clear, I was seriously considering moving to a deserted island and becoming a beach bum forever.
- 1:00 PM: Watersports! Banana boat ride! I, being the incredibly graceful person that I am, almost fell off the banana boat, much to the amusement of the person driving the boat. It was the best part of the day, really, I felt like a kid again.
- 2:00 PM: Shopping Frenzy: D'Mall. Prepare yourself, because everything is expensive. But, the local crafts are so beautiful. And you can haggle, so that's a plus, right?
- 4:00 PM: Relaxing Massage: Oh. My. God. The best thing ever. Get yourself a massage on the beach. Seriously. DO IT. The sounds of the waves, the gentle touch… It's pure heaven.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and Dancing: Found a cool restaurant. The food was good, but even better was the chance to dance until my feet hurt to the local music!
Day 3: Sunburn, Regret, and the Long Goodbye
- 8:00 AM: Sunburn! Oops. (Should have heeded the sunscreen warnings).
- 9:00 AM: Recovery mode: Find a quiet spot by the pool, aloe vera, and lots of water.
- 10:00 AM: Last-minute souvenir hunting: Because you can't leave without something ridiculously touristy. (I bought a t-shirt. It's hideous. I love it.)
- 11:00 AM: Beach walk and final swim: One last dip in that glorious water. One last longing look at that perfect beach.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch: Try to eat something somewhat healthy after all the fried food and sugary drinks. (Fails miserably).
- 1:00 PM: Check out and depart. Saying goodbye to Coast was harder than I expected. I'm not a sentimental person…but I miss the staff already!
- 2:00 PM Ferry to Caticlan Airport: Okay, this time I knew the drill. Even managed to snag a tricycle that didn't try to scam me!
- 3:00 PM: Flight back home: As the plane took off, I was already planning my return. Boracay, you crazy, beautiful island, you stole my heart (and quite a bit of my money).
Final Thoughts:
- The People: The Filipinos are the friendliest people on earth. Seriously. Prepare to be charmed.
- The Food: Prepare to gain weight (and not care). The food is amazing. Try everything.
- The Chaos: Embrace it. It's part of the charm.
- The Sunburn: Learn from my mistakes. Slather on the sunscreen. Seriously.
- The Memories: Priceless.
So there you have it. My semi-coherent, slightly messy, absolutely honest account of my Boracay adventure at Coast. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Would I change anything? Absolutely not. It was perfect… in its own, slightly chaotic, wonderfully imperfect way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy more aloe vera.
