Nice boutique hotel in section 1 in a very quiet area but in a walking distance to everything. The staff is amazing, very nice and friendly. And they have scuba diving services on-site.

The Watercolors is an excellent hotel for a stay in Boracay. The service is impeccable. All of the staff are friendly and willing to help. The hotel is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. There is construction going on adjacent to the building; however, if you are out of the room during the day, it won’t bother you, I highly recommend a stay at the Watercolors.

The staff is wonderful!!! And the food is great at the restaurant. The rooms are small but who cares? You’re only sleeping there! The Expedia site about the property needs to be updated to let future guests know that there are no longer sun loungers or umbrellas allowed on the beach which was a huge bummer as I can’t sit in the sun for too long without frying. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Watercolors and would highly recommend staying there.

First, remember where you are. You're in a primitive beach community in the Phillippines. For that environment, it is excellent. The staff there is excellent! They were so attentive. They arranged side tours for us and they were more than accommodating. They were spectacular. Hotel facility is clean, food is good. Right on the beach, which is one of the most beautiful I have seen.

Perfect location for a quiet stay in Boracay at Station 1. Close enough to all of the restaurants and shopping that you can walk to everything. The staff is amazingly attentive, and the food at the hotel is excellent. Also, the WiFi connection is very good in the room. Definitely would stay here again.

Great location on the beach and super staff
Watercolors was perfect for us, great location close to everything but not in the busiest section. What really set it apart was the great staff who constantly went out of their way to make our visit perfect and the manager who checked on our stay several times. Enjoyed happy hour watching the sun go down and was pleasantly surprised how tasty the food from the kitchen was since its a small hotel. I went on 3 dives and it was spectacular. Amazing visibility and sealife, small groups, and great price. Jenny was the dive master and a true professional, highly recommend her. Will definitely return

Fantastic service and great location
We stayed at Watercolors in April 2017, just to relax (not to dive) and enjoyed it heaps. Friendly and helpful with all of our requests for help. Thank you guys, we wish you well!

Very well located, friendly, helpful dive resort
Really helpful management and ALL the staff were incredibly helpful, polite and professional. Everything had been pro-actively thought of, so no niggling "if only this place had abc". Range of food and drink was good. You step off the breakfast terrace ONTO the white beach with water lapping the terrace at high water. The room was well appointed and good bathroom. Note though that the rooms on the road side have a window over looking the back of the rooms on the sea side, so I never drew the curtain (that said, I wasn't there to live in the room!). Well organised dives - 3-4 every day. Note the arrival trip (NOT a service of any of the hotels except the very highest end ones, but contracted out) from either local airport is "complex", but because Boracay is an Island, they have to "dig out" to get any/all guests there, so the process is slick and efficient as you get handed down the chain from aircraft to resort front door, and v/v, but it's way too complex to explain here. Anywhere else it'd be a bonanza for locals to rip you off, but tourism is the local golden egg, so my guess is that it's self policed VERY thoroughly to prevent bad reviews from tourists killing the golden egg

Excellent dive resort right on White Beach
From the moment of our arrival to our final farewell we were blown away by the warmth and friendliness of all the staff at Watercolors. Watercolors is a small resort incorporating a PADI dive centre. The location of Watercolors on White Beach was excellent and the view from our beachfront room was absolutely stunning. There was a gorgeous patio with some tables and chairs as well as a couple of lounges where we would enjoy our breakfast each and every morning and admire the beautiful blue waters and white sand of Boracay and also where, come evening, we would chill out with a few icy cold beers as we watched the sun set over Willy's Rock. It was just an incredible spot at any time of day. There was also a roof deck from we could enjoy the view if we preferred and we had our private balcony too. Mini iPads were used for check in, ordering food and to contact the front desk if required. Breakfast was included in our room rate and there was a nice range to choose from. We had no plans of going diving on this trip but after seeing how beautiful and clear the water was and seeing the excitement in the faces of the divers coming and going we did do an introductory dive and I enjoyed it so much I now want to do a full dive course. A big thank you to Chester and his amazing team for a wonderful, wonderful stay.

Great boutique hotel right on the beach!
Great hotel right on the beach in Station 1. You can easily walk down the beach to the busier area. I liked it because it was a little more quiet. Staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and courteous. They all knew my name after the first day. Small hotel. Rooms are small but it's made up for because of the view of the beach. I had the beachfront room. Food was good. in the restaurant. Bed very comfortable. Complimentary fruit and water in the room. Concierge was always available if you needed anything. Tip on getting to Boracay. Book an airport transfer to the hotel. It's very confusing when you get off the airplane if you've never been there before.

Great location great staff
The hotel welcomed us like we were VIPs. I booked 3 rooms and me and my friends all loved it. Great bar on the beach lounge chair and fantastic location. I loved room 201 facing the beach, the bed was super comfortable, room was cleaned twice a day, I loved the staff the bar staff and food was all FANTASTIC! The place felt like a home breakfast was awesome unlimited juice. This was one of my favorite hotel staff experiences I have ever had, they made you feel like VIP family.

Relaxing stay by the beach with excellent service
The resort is very convenient and just right by the side of the beach. It situated beside Station 1 beach side. You can access the beach directly from the dining area which is very convenient. Willy's rock and Jonah's fruit shake is also just round the corner. We were given a complimentary upgrade for the breakfast from continental to American which was great and filling. They also provide complimentary fruits upon arrival and chocolate during turn down service. I had arranged for a marriage proposal with the resort for my girlfriend as a surprise on Valentine's day at midnight with Nhel. He was patient and detailed in assisting me to set up a wonderful arrangement at the beach with candles, flowers, champagne, sand design and even helped in printing of photos. The resort possessed many wonderful and friendly staff such as Yang who helped my girlfriend to dress her wound as she fell down on the first day. Another wonderful staff is Gregchen who always never fail to greet us and serve us breakfast with the brightest smile on her face. Highly recommended for stay as a couple especially for those who likes scuba diving as they provide scuba diving services. However, some points to note is that the WIFI in the room kept disconnecting which can be quite frustrating and remember to book the room facing the beach as the street noise for rooms facing the main street can be disturbing and unable to rest well.

We were very delighted with our stay at the Watercolors. First, we were very surprised to be greet with a welcome drink and snack. All the staffs are very helpful especially (i forgot the name - who introduce us to a great tour guide). We enjoyed our stay there and will definitely introduce this hotel to everyone.

民宿-海の家
ステーション2からほんの少し離れていますが、目の前がすぐビーチでロケーションはいいと思います。 ホテルというより民宿みたいな感じのホテルでしたが、スタッフはとてもみんな親切で、ロビーは居心地の良いところではありました。 ダイビングショップ何併設されてるので、昼間はダイビング客の出入りが頻繁。 一月前に予約したため、部屋はオーシャンビューではなく、シティビューだったのでカーテンは開けられず一度も外の光を入れられず、単に寝るだけでした。 ホテルでリゾート感を味わいたいならお勧めしません。
