If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Station 2 in the heart of Balabag. Spend the afternoon at the beach and head to one of the restaurants for a bite to eat. Catch the sunset by the shore at Bulabog Beach, just a short walk away.
If you like shopping, take time out to go to D'Mall Boracay when in Balabag. Hotels.com travelers also say the area is family-friendly and has lots of nice beaches. Splash some more cash at Budget Mart and Talipapa Market.
If being by the water is a major draw, Station 1 is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Balabag. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Diniwid Beach, Station 2, and Bulabog Beach, located nearby.
You can do some window-shopping at Talipapa Market during your visit to Manoc-Manoc. Stroll along the seaside or visit the spas in this family-friendly area.

8/10 Good
"Our 5 year old loved the pool. Great energy there with lots of other kids. Other child based amenities were nice. The buffet was fine. Nothing special. The property overall shows wear and tear. The towels for the rooms were old. The staff was helpful and gracious."
"The reason for the poor review was the dining facility. The tables were crowded and the selections were limited. I will be using Seta from now on. I do like the rooms. So if I'm not eating breakfast I might stay there again. But if I want to eat breakfast I'll go to Seta."
"Exceptional Stay at Crimson Resort Boracay!
This was our first time visiting Crimson Resort in Boracay, and we were truly impressed from start to finish.
The front desk staff were incredibly efficient, making the check-in process smooth and quick. We arrived on the island at 7:00 AM, and to our surprise, our room was ready by 10:00 AM—something we deeply appreciated. They also provided luggage storage so we could head out for breakfast, and even allowed our kids to start enjoying the resort amenities before our room was ready. That level of flexibility made a big difference for our family.
We were delighted to receive a complimentary upgrade to a Deluxe Sea View room, which turned out to be perfect for our family of four. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the room had a cozy, home-like feel. The housekeeping team clearly takes pride in their work—the room was spotless, and all amenities were thoughtfully prepared.
The breakfast buffet was top-notch, offering a great variety with well-curated daily menus. The restaurant staff stood out for their professionalism—always welcoming, attentive, and ready to assist with a smile.
We also visited the Azure Bar, and it did not disappoint. The drinks were excellent, and the nighttime ambience provided the perfect way to wind down after a full day.
What our family loved most was the pristine beach and the well-maintained pool area. Special thanks to Reina, Sam at the Front Desk, and Duty Manager Lyle"
"The hotel was clean, safe, and offered beautiful views. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again."
"We enjoyed our stay here, and the majority of the staff were very helpful (particularly Violet at reception). The room is very clean and modern, as are the pool and gym. However, the food is expensive and was on the whole fairly average quality. Furthermore, some of the breakfast staff were pretty rude. When we checked out, they tried to charge us for two ‘stained’ towels, which were just used and only required a light wash. This felt a little cheeky and unprofessional, however, we did not end up paying in the end."
