Without a doubt, the best place to stay in Marinduque if you value quality and convenience. A bit of a way out of the main town, but handy. A great restaurant right next door. I prefer the restaurant over the breakfast offered.

Great place to stay

Great stay with the cafe and restaurant in the vicinity didn’t hade the chance to see the beach because we used it as a base to relax before heading to the main destination. The hotel crew and staff was superb and did an excellent job. The personal at the restaurant where we have dinner needs more training in hospitality and service but it’s a minor thing maybe just 1-2 personal out of the 10 that we interacted with.

Exceeded our expectations. The place is very homey. We rented the family room and its huge, the only thing missing is a shower curtain or divider from the toilet to the shower area from one of the bathroom because there’s 2 which is really great for a family room. But that’s just a small matter… everything else is perfect. Breakfast is excellent as well.

Great hotel to relax

I highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for American standard hotel. The room can be compared to Marriott but better with a nice view and balcony. It’s very comfortable, clean and smells great. Wi fi is a little bit slow but it’s normal in this island. I highly praise the staff. They are friendly, approachable and listen to our needs. Btw, they do not have an elevator. Something to consider if you have someone that needs elevator. However, the staff are very helpful to assist you with your luggage. The place is very quiet. There’s a restaurant next to the hotel selling Filipino, Japanese, Korean etc food and a convenience store that sells American and korean drinks and snacks. I highly recommend this place and for sure I will book again in my next visit.

I liked the location. BOAC was at the center of the west side of Marinduque. Given the distance to the tourist spots, we concentrated our tours on the western side of the province. I liked that the staff was very friendly, helpful and always smiling....the charm of Marinduque. Several things worth noting ... the standard room's toilet and bath was too small and cramped. There was no place to hang clothes and to place toiletries bec even the toilet paper was not hanged, took space and was on top of the counter in a woven container. The shower water was weak so took long to wash my hair. and the shower tiles were slippery needing the rubber mat to be used... which I am not used to using given it hurts the soles of the feet. There was also no intercom in the room. the only way to communicate with the front desk was thru their mobile number.
