A charming little motel with a happy front desk anxious to attend to all your needs. An open espresso bar 24/7! Discounts at certain restaurants. The wonderful beachside Obama Café where you can dine with your feet in the sand. Thank you Javier Family for providing this wonderful lodging option.

I tend to run cold so it didn’t help that the airswing of the AC didn’t work. Would have been comfortable otherwise. Service with a smile is topnotch!

The place is perfect for my family and the area is ok . There is coffee shop and Andoks restaurant down stair , I will give it 7/10. Because we did our own cleaning,. I think they were short handed . I will still stay there next time but not in few years though , Boracay became expensive everything.

Not what expected but a good experience overall.
Hotel looks nicer in the pictures than in person so my expectations were not met in regards to that. I also thought the hotel had a beach view and it does not. My view was looking into another room with very thin curtains that can be seen through at night with the lights on. Had an ant problem but that didn’t bother me as much. Outside of that the staff was VERY friendly and accommodating. Clean room, hot shower, free breakfast among other things. If I had lowered my expectations this would have been an excellent hotel to stay at. Having said that I wouldn’t mind staying here again now that I know what to expect. However, I prefer to actually be on a property that is located on the beach or a very scenic view of the beach. Beautiful place like Boracay you want to be able to relax in a comfortable room and see the beauty of the island. Time Shore IS a nice hotel and the staff was amazing.

There is a lot of mosquito in room. My room is facing center court and the curtain they used is white. They do not turn off the light of center court, this made the room extremely bright while sleeping. Boracay still under major construction, the road is muddy. Think the best time to go is 2-3 years later.

Great hotel on north part of White Beach.
Great location with nice beachfront restaurant across the road. Enjoyed breakfast choices and eating beachside. Staff excelled in making our stay enjoyable. 1st room had some shower mildew and window opened to the hall but 2nd room was great. Some roadwork underway in the area (by the government) but moving quickly. Convenient to water activities. Picture perfect beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Shoretime was great. Location, cleanliness, and customer service were all flawless. In addition, the breakfast experience proved to be a highlight of my stay. They perfected the combination of a great beach side Filipino breakfast paired with a talented acoustic singer/player. The only area Shoretime was lacking in was wifi. My lady and I were given a top floor room which was just outside of their WiFi range. This alone soiled the would be perfect experience.

Loud Boracay
There was ongoing construction at shore time which lasted from 8am until 5pm daily. My family and I were barely able to sleep due to such loud noise because of marching bands circling our hotel outside on the beach and in front on the street until about 3am in the morning and starting again at about 9am in the morning. The locals seem to have zero respect for allowing tourists and peacefulness. It was literally so loud that you couldn’t talk to someone directly beside you while standing on the patio.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your feedback. I am really sorry for your unfortunate experienced. I just hope that you understand that the island is still in the rehabilitation period despite after the 6 month closure it was undone. You experienced also the drum beat very early in the morning due to the festival in the island. I addressed this issue to our management so that they can relay this matter to the government inter agencies to ensure that it wont happen again. Hope to see you in the future.

Staff was wonderful. That’s about it. Poor to nonexistent Wi-Fi. When I complained to staff, their answer was “everyone complains about the Wi-Fi” No pool. Rooms are tiny, tiny small, but beds are comfortable. Everything is constantly covered in dust and sand, including room floors. To give credit to hotel, this is not their fault. Boracay is sooooo noooot ready for tourism yet. Infrastructure is terrible. Constant construction. 4km to hotel from boat port took one hour. Constant noise that starts at 0800 from construction noise. At 5 pm all the Korean visitors let their children run all over the balconies screaming their heads off for an hour before they go to dinner, so good luck getting an afternoon nap in. Also hotel has no beach chairs, and access to the beach is by walking across the street and through their restaurant, called Obama. Take home point is that boracay island is not ready for tourists. I could not wait to get off the island after one week.

Great location in Station 1 (near Station 2). Twin Pad was perfect for the family (5). Hotel service - superb! Their restaurant across the street is beach front, great selection for free breakfast. We also ate dinner there - again great food. Walked along the beach to D'Mall for leisure stroll. We enjoyed our Boracay stay... will definitely come back!

Horrible, never ending construction... Is not even a beachfront as it was advertised. FD manager lady not helpful, promised an upgrade to possible reduce the noise in a different area of the hotel, but she never followed it through...I had to leave one day early, since construction started at 7 AM already The beach is beautiful though and the dining staff are cool people. So long story shore Boracay is only partly open!!!

Extremely disappointing
What they don't mention is that the majority of rooms only have a tiny window that looks onto a grey, damp, peeling wall. The "beachfront" aspect to the hotel is still under construction after the island shut down, and so you are actually housed in the main building that's one busy road back. Building work started at 630am. We booked for 5 nights but could only stomach 1 before we found somewhere else and moved.

Nice attractive/stylish hotel at Boat Station 1
Lovely Boutique hotel just steps from the beach at Boat Station 1. Great breakfast at the Obama Cafe...My room 307 was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable - but the shower was way too small and very hard to get in and out of. Lovely warm welcoming staff - very helpful. Internet connection worked great. Boracay is undergoing massive infrastructure now so be prepared for lots of disruption and inconvenience as you try to get from one end of the island to the other....but the beach never looked better nor the water cleaner.

Nice place, but
If you're on a budget and need a nice place, stay here. It's surrounded by construction work on all sides no escaping that, dusty noisy, beach is across the road for refuge. Only eatery available in vicinity is andok chicken. 150 peso will get to to cagban port, 100 pesos to station 2. The only reason I had to stay here was initially the property I booked was yet to receive a certificate for operation since the reopening of Boracay and this was the 1 of few available as a relocation property by hotels.com
