Located in central D'Mall, you need to walk from the road to the hotel. The included breakfast is only 2 options, though you can choose other meals on the Brunch menu and just pay the difference. We also attempted to order a snack of hot chips that was listed on the menu to be told it was not available! The coffee is not great, The eating area bland. It is not a place you would seek to eat at. The pool area is fully exposed to the hot sun with only 2 umbrellas, and sun lounges without cushion, made this pool area uninviting. The rooms were fine, although the design of the shower over the bath with minimal shower curtain meant the floor was saturated each time you showered. It was OK, but I wouldn't go back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean, Comfortable Stay in a Quiet Part of Boracay We had a wonderful stay at Il Mare Sakura Resort! The hotel was exceptionally clean—we honestly didn’t even want to mess up the floors! 😂 The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was well-maintained, and everything worked perfectly, including the toilet flush and water supply. No issues at all! We also appreciated the generous supply of bath soap, which was a nice surprise compared with other hotels that provide only small portions. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. We had some wet clothes, and they kindly showed us where we could hang them and even offered to have them dried for us. It’s these thoughtful little touches that make a stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious, with decent-sized servings that kept us satisfied. The location was another big plus. The resort is about a two-minute walk from the shoreline in Station 1, near Willy’s Rock (the grotto area). The beach here has beautiful fine sand and is generally quieter and less crowded than the busier parts of White Beach. It’s perfect if you prefer a more peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed making the most of the location with plenty of walks and runs along the seashore. The only downside for us was the lack of a gym, but we simply made exercise part of our beachside adventures! 😄 Accessibility note: There is no elevator, so guests with disabilities (PWDs), mobility limitations, or difficulty climbing stairs should take this into considera

I really don’t like to speak badly but I would never stay there again or suggest to others who enjoy a good property for vacation. Virtually everything was second rate to the point where I decided to move to another hotel.
