Few Boracay resorts can offer the vibrant island life while at the same time providing a measure of peace and quiet the way OneMGM Hotel does. The boys loved it here!
A sprawling garden resort between boat stations two and three, OneMGM is quicky gaining a name for itself for its good food, friendly service and great entertainment.
Just five minutes away from the beachfront, guests of OneMGM are never far away from Boracay’s famous white sands and turquoise waters, and the leisure activities that have made the island the Philippines’ new vacation capital. Guests can laze around in OneMGM’s rattan beds by the beachfront and enjoy languid summers under the watchful eyes of its staff. Isaac fell asleep on the rattan bed in the veranda, while Jacob was quite comfy in the couch. Parents can relax as their children swim in the pool, secure in the knowledge that the resort’s lifeguards are there to guard the swimmers. It was great having them there -- I didn't have to worry about the boys at all.
Though just a short walk away from the white beach, one is immediately transported to a tropical oasis upon entering OneMGM’s gates. Asian-inspired villas dot the property, a veritable garden with three pools, an open-air restaurant, and giant trampolines surrounded by lush tropical greenery. Friendly hotel attendants roam the premises in their signature yellow shirt and orange pants, flashing the sunniest smiles and offering what is probably the fastest service in the entire island. Every so often, the resort plays host to bands and shows, to the delight of its gue
sts, many of who come from the colder climes of Europe and Asia. Weddings and conferences have been held here, too.
Other than the villas, there are also standard hotel rooms and suites in the sprawling property, where guests can likewise enjoy the niceties of city life – a mini bar, a TV with cable, a private kitchen with plates, utensils and cooking implements, a safe, hot water, and comfortable beddings. The suites, with their plump sofas and individual balconies, are perfect for families and small groups. The famous D’Mall and the wet market are easily accessible through the tricycles that pass the area, as is everything else. The resort also has regular shuttles to and from the jetty port as well as a boat that goes to Caticlan.
The OneMGM Hotel is the first of many developments that will eventually transform Boracay’s station three. Expansion plans are well underway, with the hotel’s proponents recent acquisition of the adjacent three-hectare property. This will give the resort beachfront access and the longest resort frontage in station three and in the island. The site will eventually be home to more resort rooms and villas, as well as a chapel, an aviary, more food outlets and an entertainment center. All these will make the resort a total destination.
For this summer, the resort is offering a special rate to local residents and balikbayans. For P2,499 net per person (minimum of two persons), the third person sharing the room pays just P999 while the fourth person enjoys free accommodation. The group also gets its fourth night at the resort for free. This rate includes overnight deluxe accommodations and free breakfast.
Indeed, a stay at the One MGM Resort makes for many great memories. //
