Belmont Hotel Boracay

Real shame about Belmont after seeing the reviews. My stay was less than average. Positive was it had good wifi but where do I start with the disappointments. Firstly I was given a room right next to the construction site opposite so I asked for a move and the women said that’s what you paid for. I paid an additional 1500php for a hillside room as it was less noisy and I didn’t have to look at a construction site. The room was okay but so damp. The whole back building seems damp. I had to cover my clothes because they would be so damp the next morning. Something needs fixing there but it was durable as I’d already changed room so didn’t want more fuss. One morning I booked an island tour and the free shuttle service which takes you to the main part of the island that the hotel puts on shows 9am which has to be booked in advance at the reception desk. They say come for 8:45am and wait in the lobby. It arrived at 9:45am which made me and another family late for the island hopping tour which made us look bad, everyone was waiting on the boat for us, their looks said it all. This isn’t good enough as it’s a small island and Belmont’s excuse was they didn’t have enough drivers. Get more then! Don’t book people up who are excited for their day trips and then turn up late. People are on limited time and this could ruin their day! Breakfast is okay as it’s part of the hotel costs. It doesn’t offer enough international options though. Cereal is just the choco shells.
