Signature-Suite-Favorites

Our favorites were the details of the soundbar with iPhone dock, Dyson hair dryer, turon langka and chocolate turndown snacks.

Best of all, you can enjoy and have your massage inside your suite late at night.

Boracay Day 4-17.jpg

Steak & Eggs (₱490). Josper grilled USDA Angus Beef, Crispy Potatoes, 63-degree Egg, Garlic Mayo

Final Thoughts

Discovery-Signature-Suites-Room

Overall, we fell in love with the lounge pool of the Signature Suites and the exclusive access to the rooftop lounge with an awesome 360 view of the Boracay sunset.

On Breakfast. It would be nice to have breakfast on the roof deck or in the lounge pool with floating trays to enjoy the white beach view while you eat.

Forno Osteria is worth a visit for their Josper-grilled steaks specially when you are celebrating a special occasion on the island. Only thing is that it does not have a view, and it’s hidden at the back of Discovery.

The Guest Experience Maker concept is nice but there’s currently not a lot to do on the island except to enjoy the white beach with your family and hang around in your suite.

The Signature Suites are perfect for a honeymoon or couple escape, all the more when celebrating your anniversary.
