Review on Pinjalo Resort during stay from 6 March 2008 to 11 March 2008
My friend Purany, and I arrived early in the morning, way before the check-in time, so we thought we would have to wander around on our own to pass the time. However, the staff had kindly arranged for a smaller room for us to relax and wash-up first while our room was being prepared.
When we did get our room, it was actually so much better than what we had expected or hoped for! It was a big room with a bigger balcony than the other rooms. The balcony had two sofa sets and a dining table. The toilet was big and lots of light flooded in from a small window. The best surprise were the two queen-sized beds waiting for us to jump on! Initially, we had requested for one king-sized bed but to have two queen-sized beds was even better!
Throughout our stay, we noticed that each time we came back from shopping or sightseeing, the fresh towels that were placed for us would always be folded in some different ways. Very creative of the staff to do so.
The Pinjalo staff could converse in English fairly well so communication was not a problem. They were very helpful and polite in everything, including arranging for our day-to-day sightseeing trips. There was once when the two of us wanted to go island hopping but were hesitant about being alone with strange boatmen somewhere out at sea. A Pinjalo staff, Chiki, was kind enough to accompany us on that trip.
Later, on my birthday which was on 8 March, the Pinjalo staff sang a birthday song for me when we were leaving to go out for the day. Never did I expect though that the surprise would end there. When we came back in the evening, there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting on my bed with a card wishing me many happy returns of the day! The flowers were freshly picked from the Pinjalo garden. It was really sweet of the staff to do that for their guest.
Despite all this, we do feel that a slight improvement could be made. We would like to add in a recommendation for a kettle to be provided in the room for guests to have hot beverages. The Pinjalo staff was kind enough though to let us have their big thermos on our last two nights so we could have our nice hot teas anytime.
Overall, both my friend and I had a wonderful experience staying at Pinjalo Resort. We will definitely recommend it to anyone who is going to Boracay for a holiday.

| "Well decorated hotel with very nice landscape. Nice small swimming pool. There is gym too but no chance to use it.
I believe because of low season, we were given 2xQueue size bedroom which is so big for 2 person. The room also have a big balcony with sofa.
Breakfast were simple bread,pancake,ham and egg but I like it.
There are cable TV with many channels in the room, so wonderful.
Jul-Sep is off peak season. There are many options for hotels below PHP1500. If you look for comfort and family-friendly and willing to pay slightly more, Pinjalo is good choice.
Not beach front though, 100 meters walk to the beach." |

| "Terrific value for money and an ideal location - while not on the beach it is very close and the gardens of the resort are lovely too. The service was friendly and helpful and the rooms all seemed to have balconies, wish were great. The only drawback was the poor shower head and lack of water pressure, which is probably a problem of the island as well as the resort. Our children loved the pool area and the gym was well equipped as well.
I would suggest tea/coffee making facilities in the room, which would just about make it perfect.
We were very happy with what was promised and what was delivered. Its a very good 3 to 4 star facilitiy. " |

| "We ended up spending 6 nights instead of 5 at Pinjalo due to the typhoon that hit the island. This was no problem as the hotel was great and the service was excellent. Thank you to all the staff at Pinjalo for helping us with flight and weather information. We couldn't have made it off the island without you.
The hotel itself is great. There is a nice pool and gym. The rooms are surrounded by a lovely garden and it is only 100m to white beach. Each room has its own balcony which is nice to sit down and relax!
We will definately be returning on our next trip to Boracay.
Once again thank you to all the staff at the hotel." |

| "The location of the resort is perfect if you want to stay farther away from the traffic of the beachwalk and from hearing the music being played in Station 2. It takes only 2 minutes to walk from the resort to the beachfront. Since Pinjalo is in the borderline of Stations 2 and 3, it made it very convenient to walk to either end of the beachwalk. The facility is relaxing and has a nice garden setting. Most of the plants that surround the rooms are overgrown and could use some trimming and definitely cleaning. Although it's nice to have lots of space in the room (Standard), it could use a desk and a chair. The bathroom, though roomy, lacks vanity shelves and towel racks. However, the room is so quiet and the airconditioner stayed consistently cool. Overall, the room we stayed in could use some updating, especially the closet.
Since the resort did not have their own eating facility, we ate breakfast every morning at Calypso Dive which we were told is affiliated with Pinjalo. We enjoyed the beachfront view from there and got good, friendly service every time. " |
