CRIMSON BORACAY Staycation Guide (2024)

Crimson Boracay is one of our family luxury resorts in Boracay because of its Filipino-brand of hospitality, innovative signature experiences, and a front seat to Boracay’s sunset. Finally, we are able to return to savor the culinary delights and diverse experiences that the resort has to offer.

Here is our staycation celebration guide to optimize your stay at Crimson Boracay resort:

ABOUT CRIMSON BORACAY

Crimson Boracay is a luxury resort and spa brand located in Station Zero of Boracay Island. It is the only Filipino luxury resort brand on the island, and it competes with Shangri-La Boracay and Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay.

The resort is beautifully designed with a sprawling terraces architecture that takes advantage of the view of Boracay’s famous sunset. The resort has a variety of amenities, including a spa, fitness center, several restaurants, and a private beach.

Upon arrival at the airport, the Crimson Boracay team will whisk you away to their private port for a swift and comfortable boat ride that transports you directly to the resort, bypassing the often-crowded Caticlan Jetty Port and eliminating the need for inconvenient transfers.

SUITE ROOMS #3205

We stayed in the Cobalt Suite room, which had a beautiful view of the sea and the sunset.

The windows had automated day and dark curtains, and the beds were very comfortable, so we slept well during our staycation.

The suite also has a spacious terrace, perfect for enjoying the sunset or hanging your wet clothes to dry quickly in the warm Boracay sun.

The living room features a cozy daybed lounge sofa, ideal for relaxing with a good book or enjoying a romantic movie night with your special someone.

The en suite bathroom features double sinks, a separate shower and bathtub, and a luxurious bathtub for an indulgent spa-like experience.

The bathroom is well-maintained, with the exception of the bidet’s water pressure, which could be stronger, and the toilet door, which tends to get stuck occasionally.

We adored the signature Yukata robes that can be worn both within the suite and at the pool. The robes are not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable, even for a bigger frame like mine. This is in addition to the plush bathrobes provided in every room.

SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES

FOAM PARTY. This is a family-friendly foam party that happens before sunset at 4:00 PM every Saturday. Depending on the occupancy, the party lasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The foam is safe and uses environmentally friendly soap. You’ll feel like a kid again and its perfect right before sunset.

CHRISTMAS TREE. There’s no vibrant Christmas spirit on the island except for certain hotels like Crimson Boracay with a Christmas tree centerpiece with this year’s White Christmas theme. A perfect backdrop for your memorable Family Christmas portrait.

ART WARRIOR. Crimson Boracay has launched its signature live painting competition, ART WARRIOR. The event invites artists of all skill levels to create masterpieces within a 20-minute timeframe. Artists can use mixed media techniques to capture the essence of diverse themes.

At the culmination of each quarterly competition, the top two winners are selected through a public vote. These victors advance to the grand finals event held in December, where they will compete to determine the ultimate ART WARRIOR champion.

SUNDAY MASS

Sunday Mass is not held at the resort, but you can attend the service at the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Station One, Boracay Island.

They offer a delightful selection of Filipino breakfast favorites, such as crispy bacon and longganisa.

We love the make-your-own tacos, and I especially enjoy them with a generous helping of guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

They also offer an à la carte menu to satisfy your comfort food cravings during your resort stay.
