Hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming! We were there immediately after the typhoon so all the hotels were powered by generators and the pool was closed, but the staff went out of their way to make things comfortable! I highly recommend using the hotel transfer service from/to the airport. The hotel is right on the beach, and they provide towels and beach mats. The sand is very clean and not too hot to walk on with bare feet. The water is very clean with lots of water activities available like paddle boarding, boating, jet ski, sailing, etc. Many activity vendors offer different prices and the prices are reasonable and negotiable! The island hopping tour is very good and included lunch for 1000 pesos/per person (about $20). We also went helmut diving (very fun!) and para sailing for 1500 php (US$30) and 1800 php ($36), respectively. For para sailing, I recommend using the Superman vendor. The hotel also included breakfast, which was excellent and had a cook to order egg and omlet chef! Although the hotel is situated right on the beach, it is very quiet at night and easy to sleep. There are no loud bands or music. The hotel restaurant is very good for dinner also; we ate there one night for a seafood buffet and it was superb! There are plenty of other restaurants on the beach near the Mall, which is less than a five minute walk. Overall, a very pleasant stay, clean and comfortabe rooms at a reasonable price! I highly recommend Le Soleil de Boracay!
