Golden Phoenix Boracay Hotel Review
Golden Phoenix boasts a fantastic beachfront location, a major plus! The rooms are spacious, a welcome feature, although the advertised slippers were missing (apparently, they'd run out – a real shame). I wasn't keen on using my outdoor slippers inside due to the sand. Breakfast had limited options; the first day was tasty except for overly salty scrambled eggs. The second day, refilling was slow, but the food was decent. The hotel's amenities, perhaps due to the beachfront location, weren't well-maintained. Handprints on the glass doors weren't appealing. Having only one key card was inconvenient, as removing it to power down the AC meant returning to a warm room. The staff were friendly, though.
Overall, while decent, it didn't quite meet my expectations of a 4-star hotel. I wouldn't rush back, but I'd consider it if other options were unavailable. The best part? Definitely breakfast on the beach, enjoying the Boracay paradise view while watching the world go by.
