wag po kayo maligo sa swimming pool sa la carmela kasi every 2-3 years pinapalitan ang tubig diyan.. nilalagyan lang ng muriatic acid and chlorine powder at may isa pang chemical na nakalimutan ko na, every night bago isara ang pool...alam ko yan kasi nag ojt ako diyan.... at ang turo sa amin kapag may magtatanong kung how often pinapalitan ang tubig, weekly daw ang isasagot namin...kaya noong 2010 may nalunod dyan na bata, pero hindi namatay sa pagkakalunod kundi sa intoxication dahil sa muriatic and other chemicals na nilalagay gabi gabi....
@@gowithmel yes po bata pa ako that time college student. Nag ojt kami diyan..grabe andami nilang ojt by batch..ibat ibang schools...then yung mga empleyado talaga nila is konti lang...free meals naman lahat kahit di mo duty pwede ka kumain sa pantry then pagkatapos ng ojt namin may papiging sila bigay ng certificate keneso..kaya yan sa tingin ko pangit CS nila kasi mga ojt...
*_inaabot naman talaga ng ilang taon ang tubig sa swimming pool, basta nalilinis nang maayos at napapagana yung filter madalas. walang resort na nagpapalit ng tubig ng pool buwan buwan._*
Thank you Mel for all the information you have shared in your vlog.ikaw po ang ginawa kong guide when we had our 3 days vacay in Boracay during my bday last oct.20.and it was a big help watching ur vlogs.stay safe…hope to see you in person on our next vacation.God bless ❤❤
Ganto talaga nangyayare pag pina prioritize ang kita vs customer satisfaction. I hope this vlog will serve as a wake up call hindi lang sa La Carmella but all of the budget hotels in Boracay. People spent their well earned money for vacation, so I think they deserve the best. More power Mel! My go to guide kapag gusto ko magbakasyon sa isang lugar. 😄
Literally less than 200 steps from La Carmela lies our favorite hotel in the island, our home when we experienced being locked down in the island and will always be our home when we are in the island, Calypso Beach and Dive Resort. Im hoping you can experiencr the warmth of their accommodation too during your next visit. 😊
You are so fun to watch, thank you for sharing. The food looked so unappetizing, who serves pansit and hot dog for breakfast? Over easy eggs should never be in a buffet, because it should be served and eaten fresh off the pan. If they want to serve eggs for breakfast, it should be scrambled. Also, may be you should suggest to the management to just serve continental breakfast. This way its easier and will look even more attractive to eat. Food and dining experience is a very big part of everyones vacation. It's a shame the location is perfect, but customer service quality of food being served are just as important. Maraming salamat.
We went to Boracay last Oct for 4d 3n and napanuod ko yung 1st review mo sa La carmella and we opt to stay sa Paradise Garden instead. Di kami nagsisi. ☺️ Sana lahat ng vlogger honest review. Thanks!
We stayed there in January sa room 201/2 dahil iconic sya. Pero un nga, food wasnt good at facility eh run down na. Housekeeping dn eh non existent. You speak so honestly and mkktulong sa mrmi. Good job!
We'll go to Boracay next year (summer) and we're booked at Hennan. I hope our trip there will be awesome and memorable. I cannot wait to see Boracay for the first time.
Hi Mel! Like your vlog & the way you speak, very clear. We were there Feb 2023 & we stayed at Feliz Hotel, very near D'Mall. Very good location din, excellent customer service, super ganda ng rms. Sa comfort rm, separate ang bath & toilet bowl & it has two ceramic countertop basins, for 2 persons talaga. Delicious at daming choices din ng kanilang buffet breakfast.
We had bad experience there 2017 and never go back again. Masyado siksikan at matagal kami nabigyan ng room. Much better sa Paradise Garden, Nigi Nigi, Calypso and syempre Hennan.
Very informative and helpful to real travelers. Not boring to watch and very detailed. I love watching your videos. I can only imagine the amount of time and work you have to put in to make these videos. Thank you Mel. Only suggestion, you might want to add subtitles in English for your international travelers. You might get more views and subscribers. There are a lot of free online AI applications you can use to automate the subtitles.
2017 kami mag stay Jan from California dahil Grabe yung advertisement ni Tito Boy Abunda . I’m so excited Pero di pumasa sa asawa at anak ko. Smelly masyado ang bathroom . I complained and requested to change room . Ganun pa din kaya nag pull out kami . I will never come back ever .
great review! u did good job making the detailed actual video experience with the whole experience at La Carmella, overall its still a good deal for me even though the breakfast is "limited" but that's because their rate is cheaper. I stayed there last 2015 and i had really good experience sa breakfast buffet nila unlimited food and never run out pero that was 9 y/s ago not a lot of guests as i remembered as it is now base on your video, Im really surprise how fast nag-swell ang population sa Philippines. Anywya, keep up with your vlog you are doing us a good favor
I came across ur video. 😁 Going to Boracay for the first time mid July. 4 nights. 😁 So excited! Been looking for accomodation and my sister in law recommend La Carmela where they stayed last time. For now I'm still searching on Agoda. Maybe a villa will be better for a group of people. Ty!😁😃
Hi Mel, you may want to try Astoria Current in your next Boracay trip.... Though i know mejo matatagalan kyo bumalik jan..... Astoria Current's customer service is at par... At masarap ang kanilang hot choco kalasa xa ng Mary Grace cafe.....
First off, 8AM late na yan! Hahaha dapat doon ka na at 7AM 😅 Wag kang mag swim sa pool, specially fresh water sha and not salt water, kasi chlorine will dry up your skin! Thirdly, 2,200 per night at that location is very cheap, so you really can’t expect a lot on continental breakfast… Overall, very informative video!
Hi good afternoon i really love your travel vlogs. Can you recomend me where to eat budget friendly new years dinner buffet. Hope you can suggest good food. Thanks
I’ve been there with my cousin nung July 2023 at sa La Carmela kami for 5 days, kasi mas cheaper compared sa ibang hotel. Di kami nakapagswimming dahil kay bagyong Egay. Maganda naman location ng hotel, at ang dami nilang guest.
Thank you Mel for sharing this. Totoo mga sinasabe mo. Nakaka turn off sa aming mga balikbayan pag ganyan ang customer service. Upon watching your video we decided to book our vacation sa Discovery Shores for 7 days. Hope to see you in Boracay!!!
Wow naman po! Sana all! Ayan po yung mga hotels na panaginip lang namin. Hahaha. Enjoy po kayo. Ang totoo lalo napo kung mga balikbayan, mas ok na mag hotel po kayo na kahit expensive basta worth it yung experience po ninyo. Enjoy Boracay at keep safe po. ❤️
@@gowithmel will keep watching your Bora vlogs and hope to meet you in person (in Boracay). Hopefully nasa Bora ka pag andyan kami sa Pinas so we can hang out and chit chat. You take care, Mel, and more power to you! Keep on vlogging!
For the price of two and breakfast included and lastly Beachfront. It is worth it. About breakfast, a person just decide to have a breakfast as soon as it open .when you decide to have it at your own pace , of course, you have to make an adjustment with the seating, and availability of food . I think overall it is worth to stay in La carmela de Boracay .Thank you very much for the honest review.
Thank you for the honest review...for me, I recommend Hennan Regency, superb customer service, nice room, yummy breakfast and located near the beach...will definitely stay there again
From Sydney: i will never consider that place, no way, thank you Mel for using your precious time, what a waste of resources $$ in that hotel, buti na lang you are there to look out for us, tama yang review mo
nka pag stay din kami dito ng sister ko last September, and i have to agree with you.. ang pro's nng hotel is malapit sa beach talaga siya at pinapayagan ka mag early check in depending on the availability ng room. tas affordable talaga siya considering the fact na beach front siya. However, the ammenities is kinda aged na talaga. at super hina ng signal ng mobile data, depending on the network.
Nasa Boracay kami last week and ikaw talaga pinanuod ko prior to our vacation. Kaya nung nandon kami feel ko alam ko na yung buong boracay. Nga lang nabudol kami sa arrival nag tour 1800 dalawa na kami tho wala nang hustle double nga lang ang patong. Naklimutan ko na DIY pala dapat. We've been there also sa la carmela dahil na din sa vlog mo. Ok naman ang room but yes sa customer service medyo nakulangan din kami parang isang tanong isang sagot lang ang staff. And medyo matagal nga din yung clearance pag nag check out na. Buti naka habol pa kami sa flight. For me maganda naman po ang la carmela, but if babalik kami we will try sa ibang hotel naman. Pero solid yung Shoretime Dorm accomodating yung mga staff and malinis.
I can only agree with you Mel 4 yrs ago we went on un planned vacation our favorite hennan regency was fully book kaya my wife booked 5 days dyan sa la carmella first day pa lang my son was so disappointed so we have to leave and transfer without getting refund Thank you for being honest & truthful in your content it is very helpful more power to you!
OMG sayang naman, sorry to hear that. Pero totoo po eh, basta di ok ang hotel the rest na ng bakasyon ang masisira kay tama lang din po na lumipat kayo kesa po 5 days kayo sa di kayo kumportable, yun nga lang di man lang sila nagrefund.
first time namin mag boracay , bale 4 kami, (3 adults and 1 kid) and we are planning by next year january 2024, naghahanap ako ng review about La Carmela since may naririnig ako na good and some were bad, buti nalang this vlog was just recent, after watching this were having some doubts staying at that hotel na, maganda yung vlog na ito kasi it really points out the good and some bad things sa hotel nayan, sobrang dami na ng tao dyan halos ndi na ma accomodate ng hotel staffs mismo, anyhow im looking forward pa sa ibang hotels sana dyan at mai vlog at ma review pa, thank you for this, straightforward and may own rating very helpful sa mga newbie staying in boracay
i just want to add about sa la carmela may kasabayan kami nung pumunta kami ng bora yung tito at tita ko, sila nag la carmela tapos kami sa boracay holiday resort, nung nag visit kami sa kanila, di hamak po na mas maganda talaga yung nakuha ko na pag stayan, sobrang crowded sa la carmela ayaw pa naman ng mother ko yung ganun parang magulo at chaotic yung front nila, yung tito at tita ko parang nag sisi sila na dun pa nag stay, ayaw kasi nila makinig sakin nuon sinabi ko na may bad reputations dyan sa hotel nayan, and it really needs a lot of improvement from the staff to the place itself, sana nga mabago nila yun
Nagstay din kami dyan last time kasi popular sya. Nagustuhan naman ng anak ko ang pool sa La Carmela pero mas nagustuhan nya ang room sa Lime Hotel dahil mas modern ang ambience at malakas ang wifi.
@@gowithmel dahil sa vlog mo na to eh gusto ko na naman bumalik ng bora. Pero mag iipon muna uli ng budget 😅. Hope to see you in one of my trip sa bora 😘
They improved na, actually. I stayed in La Carmela the first time I went to Boracay dati plated ang breakfast nila you only have choice lang different SILOG... ung stay namin ng 3 nights and 4 days napurga kami sa SILOG as in walang option then coffee is 3 in 1 pa hehehe.... And ung room namin luma and mabaho singaw ng CR po nila (I hope hindi na ngayon). Maganda pa ung pinagstayan namin last March 2023 "Secret Garden" name ng accommodation pero malinis and maayos cya free breakfast din though silog din pero what can you ask more for 999 per night for two na po yun. Anyway, thanks for the honest review malaking tulong ito for travellers like me.. Salamat
Yes po. Bagong renovate ung main building nila halos lahat ng room bagong paint, kaso ung mga bedsheets, towels, kumot masyadong luma na, parang naaagnas na nga. Pwede na sa 2200. Nag stay kami dyan last September, and isa un sa napansin ko ung buffet napapabayaan. Kaya sa 4 nights nmin 1 beses lang kami nag breakfast dyan. Pang masa lang talaga ang la carmela. Pero kung may budget nmn, henann and feliz are the best hotels.
@@gowithmel favorite ko ang boracay like you. This year naka 3 punta na kami, halos every quarter andyan kami. Na try na nmin halos lahat ng henann. Sa dami ng hotel na napag stayan nmin, la carmela and belmont and worst. Dyan kami mag celebrate ng New Year this coming December 31. Sa Lime Hotel nmn kami this time, halos lahat kasi fully booked na and medyo mahal na halos kasi peak season na.
Thank u sa review Mel. Im planning to stay there sna pero parang hahanap nalang ako ng ibang hotel.. 1st time namin kasi sa Bora next yr pangit naman kung ganyan ang magi2ng experience namin. Thank u sa review :)
Makikita nyo naman po sa mga comments ang dami pala talaga disappointed with La Carmela, sayang naman po kung yung 1st time nyo maging di maganda ang experience nyo or maybe pwede naman po tiyagain, habaan nalang po ang pasensya at wag napo magexpect more. 😊❤️
@@gowithmel It's a good idea it is in a great location but for me it is not enough , what a waste they need to step up, keep up the good work take care po
Buti napanood ko ito bago magbook. Nakapunta naman na kami dito kaso medyo bata pa ako noon at di pa ganun ka crowded. Napaisip tuloy ako lalo kasi ang balik namin ay Super Peak Season. Now we are weighing kung magbobook pa kami dyan or dun nalang sa walang pool at walang breakfast pero may seaview :) Salamat po sa honest review!
The best ang Henann hotels,I specifically enjoy Henann Palm Beach Resort..Spacious and modern rooms,good breakfast buffet choices,excellent customer service and beachfront 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Ang laki help ng vlog mo po salmat kagaya sakin budget lang kami mh aswa ko thnk u❤ continue making good content.question lang po hennan po ba maganda ?
DISCLAIMER: Ito po ay based lang po sa naging experience namin "twice" nung magstay kami sa kanila, At ito po ay base sa mismong araw kung kailan kami nagstay. We understand na iba iba ang pwede nating maging experience, at ito po ay opinyon lang po namin. 😊 Love Love Love. ❤️
Nakaka dismaya yung tumatanggap pa sila ng walk-in sa breakfast buffet Kase isa yun sa cause ng shortage. I agree with you na parang sinasadya nila wag muna e refill ang meals para umalis na ang mga kumakain. Unli diba eh bakit naglilimit.
True! Isa po sa nakakainis, inhouse guests nga kinukulang ang food tas tumatanggap pa ng walk ins. Kawawa din yung magwawalk in tas wala namang aabutang food.
When in Boracay, stay at Paradise Garden Resort Hotel and Convention Center. Customer Service is superb, the rooms are excellent and the amenities are outstanding!
Hi there, weve book a flight on April 11-14 in boracay what hotel would you suggest with beachfront which will not cost you an arms and legs many thanks
Ay sayang. Sana may naginform na pwede pala dun. Sana pala sa check in palang nabanggit na ng reception na dalawa ang dining areas. 😊 Glad that maganda ang experience nyo. ❤️
We went there before with my family, the prodblem talaga is sobrang dami nag bobook dyan, sumunod lng ako kc may work ako, then ang kinuha pala nila isa family room medyo masikip at di properly vintelated pag sa ground floor ka stay, as in narirnig ang mga dumadaan sa hallway, so i decided to book na lang sa isang hotel na medyo malayo sa dagat. For me lang ung room ang ayaw ko kc ung narrinig talaga ang yabag ng ibang guest sa hallway. I dont know lng sa ibanh room. 😊
It would be good sometimes to invest in your hotel because the higher the rate, expect a better service. Every time I visit Boracay I always ensure maganda yung hotel ko. Naka mura ka nga, na stress ka nmn sa bad experience mo.
Baka depende po.. Maayos po kasi kami na asikaso jan which is i personally booked plus ung room namin naconvert sa mas malaki na may dalawang room at bathtub ng walang binabayaran na additional fee malapit po ung room namin sa artista room ny sariling hagdan pababa.. Same sa buffet na assist din po kami ng maayos..
Hello there! Wow ang swerte nyo naman po. 😊 Pero yes baka po tapat tapat. Makikita nyo naman po sa may comments kung ano yung mga naging experiences nung iba, kaya swerte po kayo sa naging experience nyo. ❤️
I agree sau.. twice na rin ako sa la carmela ng checkin 2 years yun different.. Hindi masarap yun food.. pero maganda Yun location nila at budget hotel sya… you get what you pay
We’ve been there last March pero sobrang okay ang stay namin room and foods and stay okay na okay. Sobrang dami nila staff. Stayed there for 4d3n sobrang okay ang experience namin
andito po kami last oct 24 to 26. firsttime nmin mag boracay and dito kami nag stay for us okay naman ang experince dito sa la carmela better kumain ka ng 6am kasi kung mejo tanghali na nauubusan tlga ng seats and ng food so far okay naman ang stay nmin for 3days and 2night. and nag consider din sila ng early check in for us. smooth naman lahat. hindi naman kami maarte and most on the time nasa beach kmi. yun lang po hehe if mag bboracay ult kmi pwede pdin naman dito hehe.
Good for you! May isa ding nagcomment na OK ang experience nila. ❤️ And understandable po, kasi 1st time nyo sa Boracay. Kung nakapagstay na kayo sa ibang hotel kasi sa Boracay at tsaka palang kayo magsstay sa La Carmela, magkakaron talaga kayo ng comparison. Yung sa breakfast naman, I don't agree na dapat 6am magbreakfast para kumpleto ang food, they have to make sure na 6-10am kumpleto ang breakfast kasi yun ang sked ng breakfast. At least naenjoy nyo po ang Beach! ❤️
thankkyou po sir ☺️☺️ lagi po ako nanonood ng videos niyo and i agree sa lahat ng comment niyo before kami mag stay madami din ako nabasa negative. pero hindi ko nlng isip kasi sa beach kami naka focus. pero pag balik namin mag ttry kami ng ibang hotel. feeling ko mas okay sa iba ☺️☺️ and wala naman kami na experince sa checkk out mabilis lang po kami nag hinty like 5mins lang okay na ☺️☺️ ingat po palagi and godbless
@bobrafallo4860 Hello there! Yes, try nyo din sa iba, the more experiences you have, the more magiging meaningful ang Travel nyo. Kami din naman di mapool mas gusto ko pa tumambay sa beach, kaya lang when we vlog kasi di naman pwede na yung preference lang namin as a traveler ang ipapakita namin. Halimbawa yung pool area, need namin sya ipakita for travelers na may mga kids kasi mga bata mahilig sa pool. Kung kami lang di naman kami maarte sa hotel ang big NO lang sa amin yung parang nagmumukhang nanghihingi at naghihintay ng food. 😊 Go lang po balik lang ng balik sa Boracay, di naman nakakasawa kasi ang ganda talaga. ❤️
Sana po you can get more supporters para wala kang sponsored posts kasi pagsponsored, ganito ka honest yung review. Sana people will support this channel para dun na mabawi yung kita. Thank you for the great review. I also heard bad reviews about La Carmela Boracay

@@gowithmel yes po bata pa ako that time college student.

Kaya pala nangati ako pagkatapos mgswimming sa pool🤣🤣🤣
*_inaabot naman talaga ng ilang taon ang tubig sa swimming pool, basta nalilinis nang maayos at napapagana yung filter madalas. walang resort na nagpapalit ng tubig ng pool buwan buwan._*
Finally, a vlogger who doesn't sugarcoat his reviews. Keep it up
Thank you. ❤️
Good job

Thank you po! ❤️
Thank you for your honest feedback! Exactly, not everyone will speak out I feel sorry for your guys ❤

Hi. Saang hotel po kayo nag stay? Thanks.

THANKS FOR THIS GREAT REVIEW! Never gonna book here! I prefer to pay more than and be satisfied than having to sacrifice may vacation.
We went to Boracay last Oct for 4d 3n and napanuod ko yung 1st review mo sa La carmella and we opt to stay sa Paradise Garden instead. Di kami nagsisi. ☺️ Sana lahat ng vlogger honest review. Thanks!
Naku di hamak po na mas ok ang breakfast sa Paradise Garden at kung may kids mas maeenjoy nila kasi mas malaki ang pool. ❤️
Great Choice po kayo.
We stayed there in January sa room 201/2 dahil iconic sya. Pero un nga, food wasnt good at facility eh run down na. Housekeeping dn eh non existent. You speak so honestly and mkktulong sa mrmi. Good job!
Maraming Salamat po. ❤️
Hennan Regency still the best for me.Very good Breaky😋 Love to go back and try another Hennan🇨🇦
Never stayed pa po sa Regency but yes you should try po other Henann Hotels. 😊
Pricy sa hennan
true..we stayed there last year..
Hennan prime ganda po daming fud lahat masasarap eat all you can ang breakfast
We'll go to Boracay next year (summer) and we're booked at Hennan. I hope our trip there will be awesome and memorable. I cannot wait to see Boracay for the first time.
Hello there! You'll enjoy Henann po. ❤️
We stay at Hennan prime beach last year maganda naman lahat ng services nila pati breakfast buffet so good at ang room room nila malinis
@emilianogabriel9613 kapag breakfast talaga dipo kayo mabibigo kahit saang Henann. 😊
I love your honesty!
Thank you po! ❤️
Hi Mel! Like your vlog & the way you speak, very clear. We were there Feb 2023 & we stayed at Feliz Hotel, very near D'Mall. Very good location din, excellent customer service, super ganda ng rms. Sa comfort rm, separate ang bath & toilet bowl & it has two ceramic countertop basins, for 2 persons talaga. Delicious at daming choices din ng kanilang buffet breakfast.
Yes tas sa labas may accoustic pa po. 😊 Di lang po namin afford kasi nasa 5k pataas per night. Hahahaha.
We had bad experience there 2017 and never go back again. Masyado siksikan at matagal kami nabigyan ng room. Much better sa Paradise Garden, Nigi Nigi, Calypso and syempre Hennan.
Thanks for the honest unbiased review.
You are very much welcome po. ❤️
Very informative and helpful to real travelers. Not boring to watch and very detailed. I love watching your videos. I can only imagine the amount of time and work you have to put in to make these videos. Thank you Mel. Only suggestion, you might want to add subtitles in English for your international travelers. You might get more views and subscribers. There are a lot of free online AI applications you can use to automate the subtitles.
Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️
Thanks mel n enzo! the best talaga kayo❤
Hi ate Mitchie!!! ❤️
2017 kami mag stay Jan from California dahil Grabe yung advertisement ni Tito Boy Abunda . I’m so excited Pero di pumasa sa asawa at anak ko. Smelly masyado ang bathroom . I complained and requested to change room . Ganun pa din kaya nag pull out kami . I will never come back ever .
Omg

You are so welcome po. ❤️
I came across ur video. 😁 Going to Boracay for the first time mid July. 4 nights. 😁 So excited! Been looking for accomodation and my sister in law recommend La Carmela where they stayed last time. For now I'm still searching on Agoda. Maybe a villa will be better for a group of people. Ty!😁😃
Hello there! Enjoy Boracay! Kahit matiming kayo na maulan, deadma lang enjoy nyo lang po. ❤️
Buti na lang hindi kami nag try na pumunta dyan ,Hennan is the BEST ,ENJOY AT HINDI BITIN SA PAGKAIN WOW TALAGA❤❤❤

Hi Mel, you may want to try Astoria Current in your next Boracay trip.... Though i know mejo matatagalan kyo bumalik jan..... Astoria Current's customer service is at par... At masarap ang kanilang hot choco kalasa xa ng Mary Grace cafe.....
Will try napo talaga next time! ❤️
nice to see u guys ...........kailan naman kayo punta ng US SAN FRANCISCO hopefully soon keep us posted always ingat mabuhay btw this is oji and jeff
Hi Oji and Jeff! Kapag may visa na po at mapagipunan ang pamasahe. 😂❤️
First off, 8AM late na yan! Hahaha dapat doon ka na at 7AM 😅
Wag kang mag swim sa pool, specially fresh water sha and not salt water, kasi chlorine will dry up your skin!
Thirdly, 2,200 per night at that location is very cheap, so you really can’t expect a lot on continental breakfast…
Overall, very informative video!
Hi good afternoon i really love your travel vlogs. Can you recomend me where to eat budget friendly new years dinner buffet. Hope you can suggest good food. Thanks

I’ve been there with my cousin nung July 2023 at sa La Carmela kami for 5 days, kasi mas cheaper compared sa ibang hotel. Di kami nakapagswimming dahil kay bagyong Egay. Maganda naman location ng hotel, at ang dami nilang guest.
Never again. 😂 We'll be back sa December and will be staying sa Piccolo Hotel. Kahit na hindi beachfront, very nice yung place and mga staff. ❤
And mga 3mins walk lang naman po going to the white beach. Kasi po sa tapat ng Piccolo nagstay last time, sa Giulius Boracay Italian Resort. 😊
Thank you Mel for sharing this. Totoo mga sinasabe mo. Nakaka turn off sa aming mga balikbayan pag ganyan ang customer service. Upon watching your video we decided to book our vacation sa Discovery Shores for 7 days. Hope to see you in Boracay!!!
Wow naman po! Sana all! Ayan po yung mga hotels na panaginip lang namin. Hahaha.

And medyo matagal nga din yung clearance pag nag check out na. Buti naka habol pa kami sa flight. For me maganda naman po ang la carmela, but if babalik kami we will try sa ibang hotel naman. Pero solid yung Shoretime Dorm accomodating yung mga staff and malinis.
Hello there! Naku sayang, next time DIY Transfer nalang, sayang ang matitipid. 😊
I can only agree with you Mel 4 yrs ago we went on un planned vacation our favorite hennan regency was fully book kaya my wife booked 5 days dyan sa la carmella first day pa lang my son was so disappointed so we have to leave and transfer without getting refund Thank you for being honest & truthful in your content it is very helpful more power to you!
OMG sayang naman, sorry to hear that. Pero totoo po eh, basta di ok ang hotel the rest na ng bakasyon ang masisira kay tama lang din po na lumipat kayo kesa po 5 days kayo sa di kayo kumportable, yun nga lang di man lang sila nagrefund.
oo nga napanood ko nga yung last year mo jan, haha.. sarap panoorin kapag honest review haha. Thankyou.. now i know
Honesty is the best policy. 😂❤️
first time namin mag boracay , bale 4 kami, (3 adults and 1 kid) and we are planning by next year january 2024, naghahanap ako ng review about La Carmela since may naririnig ako na good and some were bad, buti nalang this vlog was just recent, after watching this were having some doubts staying at that hotel na, maganda yung vlog na ito kasi it really points out the good and some bad things sa hotel nayan, sobrang dami na ng tao dyan halos ndi na ma accomodate ng hotel staffs mismo, anyhow im looking forward pa sa ibang hotels sana dyan at mai vlog at ma review pa, thank you for this, straightforward and may own rating very helpful sa mga newbie staying in boracay
Hay naku ilam beses kami jan walang pakialam sila sa guests...may nahulog na bata ni iassist nila waley
Rude customer service
They are not child friendly esp yung nakaduty sa pool area. Naninigaw ng bata. 😂
Hi. Saang hotel po kayo nag stay and how much total expenses nyo? Planning to go there with my family (3pax) Thank you.
i just want to add about sa la carmela
may kasabayan kami nung pumunta kami ng bora yung tito at tita ko, sila nag la carmela tapos kami sa boracay holiday resort, nung nag visit kami sa kanila, di hamak po na mas maganda talaga yung nakuha ko na pag stayan, sobrang crowded sa la carmela ayaw pa naman ng mother ko yung ganun parang magulo at chaotic yung front nila, yung tito at tita ko parang nag sisi sila na dun pa nag stay, ayaw kasi nila makinig sakin nuon sinabi ko na may bad reputations dyan sa hotel nayan, and it really needs a lot of improvement from the staff to the place itself, sana nga mabago nila yun
Breakfast is never free. Regardless of published room rate, consider it always considered in the price you pay. Always!
Nagstay din kami dyan last time kasi popular sya. Nagustuhan naman ng anak ko ang pool sa La Carmela pero mas nagustuhan nya ang room sa Lime Hotel dahil mas modern ang ambience at malakas ang wifi.
Ay ganda din po dun sa Lime tas halos kaprice lang din po ng Henann. 😊
Present! Kahit superlate😅
Love this vlog again!!
Hahaha. Atleat napanuod nyo parin po! ❤️
@@gowithmel dahil sa vlog mo na to eh gusto ko na naman bumalik ng bora. Pero mag iipon muna uli ng budget 😅.
Hope to see you in one of my trip sa bora 😘
Thank you sa review mel! Doon na ako sa hennan na may pool paglabas mo hehe
Check! You'll enjoy Henann. ❤️
True. Makes sense naman. If buffet breakfast ang isa sa features nila, dapat hindi nauubusan lalo na ng main dishes
Tama po! Kahit kaunti ang pagpipilian basta dipo nauubusan. 😊
They improved na, actually. I stayed in La Carmela the first time I went to Boracay dati plated ang breakfast nila you only have choice lang different SILOG... ung stay namin ng 3 nights and 4 days napurga kami sa SILOG as in walang option then coffee is 3 in 1 pa hehehe.... And ung room namin luma and mabaho singaw ng CR po nila (I hope hindi na ngayon). Maganda pa ung pinagstayan namin last March 2023 "Secret Garden" name ng accommodation pero malinis and maayos cya free breakfast din though silog din pero what can you ask more for 999 per night for two na po yun. Anyway, thanks for the honest review malaking tulong ito for travellers like me.. Salamat
Yes po. Bagong renovate ung main building nila halos lahat ng room bagong paint, kaso ung mga bedsheets, towels, kumot masyadong luma na, parang naaagnas na nga. Pwede na sa 2200. Nag stay kami dyan last September, and isa un sa napansin ko ung buffet napapabayaan. Kaya sa 4 nights nmin 1 beses lang kami nag breakfast dyan. Pang masa lang talaga ang la carmela. Pero kung may budget nmn, henann and feliz are the best hotels.
We agree! Kung may budget talaga, mas pipiliin ko yung ibang mga hotels. 😊
@@gowithmel favorite ko ang boracay like you. This year naka 3 punta na kami, halos every quarter andyan kami. Na try na nmin halos lahat ng henann. Sa dami ng hotel na napag stayan nmin, la carmela and belmont and worst. Dyan kami mag celebrate ng New Year this coming December 31. Sa Lime Hotel nmn kami this time, halos lahat kasi fully booked na and medyo mahal na halos kasi peak season na.
@andrewricaro sarap kasi magpabalik balik sa Boracay. Di nakakasawa. Mukhang maganda naman po ang Lime Hotel.
Thank u sa review Mel. Im planning to stay there sna pero parang hahanap nalang ako ng ibang hotel.. 1st time namin kasi sa Bora next yr pangit naman kung ganyan ang magi2ng experience namin. Thank u sa review :)
Makikita nyo naman po sa mga comments ang dami pala talaga disappointed with La Carmela, sayang naman po kung yung 1st time nyo maging di maganda ang experience nyo or maybe pwede naman po tiyagain, habaan nalang po ang pasensya at wag napo magexpect more. 😊❤️
Thanks po,planning to book La carmela and this can be of great sa gaya ko need ng review.
You are welcome po. ❤️
Ok naman sa La Carmela, been there 2x pag sakto lang budget pero kung gusto mo ng 5 star service i would suggest Henann Prime.
We will be going there next month. Hope to see improvements. Since that was booked to us by the travel agency. Hoping masarap ang food.
Praying po and this video naman po was taken last year pa. Balitaan nyo po kami ah kung may improvements na. ❤️
this is informative.. very authentic, no sugarcoating
Thank you po! ❤️
Anjan kami po nov7-10 po sayang d namin kau nakita thanks for ur input.
Thank you for the honest review I will certainly keep this hotel out of my list
Balikan po namin sya maybe 1-2years from now para makita kung nagiimprove sila. 😂
For now, NO NO muna. ❤️
@@gowithmel It's a good idea it is in a great location but for me it is not enough , what a waste they need to step up, keep up the good work take care po
Buti napanood ko ito bago magbook. Nakapunta naman na kami dito kaso medyo bata pa ako noon at di pa ganun ka crowded. Napaisip tuloy ako lalo kasi ang balik namin ay Super Peak Season. Now we are weighing kung magbobook pa kami dyan or dun nalang sa walang pool at walang breakfast pero may seaview :)
Salamat po sa honest review!
Wala pong anuman.
Enjoy Boracay! ❤️
The best ang Henann hotels,I specifically enjoy Henann Palm Beach Resort..Spacious and modern rooms,good breakfast buffet choices,excellent customer service and beachfront 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Same goes saken.. hope to see you at laboracay 2024
Enjoy Boracay po. ❤️
Ang laki help ng vlog mo po salmat kagaya sakin budget lang kami mh aswa ko thnk u❤ continue making good content.question lang po hennan po ba maganda ?
If kaya po ng budget, yes Henann po is worth it. Kahit breakfast tge best! 😊
I like your honesty with your review about the hotel:)
Thank you po! ❤️
Thank you for your honest opinion.
You are welcome po. ❤️
Good job Mel! Nice to see you vlogging
Familiar yung name mo. But anyways Thank you! ❤️
@@gowithmel 3rd or 4th yr high school classmates..😊
@jasontuazon1683 Sabi na nga ba eh! 😂❤️
@@gowithmel more power sa channel mo. God bless🙏
go na tayo dito~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sa kabilang wing po kmi nag breakfast...goods naman po ...at ang sarap ng coffee nila..infairness nmn po😊😊😊😊
Will try po, next time (kung babalik pa kami). 😂 Wala po naginform na meron pala sa kabilang wing. 😊
Anong building po yung katapat ng beach yung pinakita nyo po na may bridge? Thank you po 🫶
DISCLAIMER: Ito po ay based lang po sa naging experience namin "twice" nung magstay kami sa kanila, At ito po ay base sa mismong araw kung kailan kami nagstay. We understand na iba iba ang pwede nating maging experience, at ito po ay opinyon lang po namin. 😊
Love Love Love. ❤️
Napaka gandang review ng hotel ❤💯
Maraming Salamat po. ❤️
Same po tayo ng experience s hotel n yan
Apir po tayo! Marami tayong may ganyang experience. 😂
Tysm po sa honest review❤ ganyn aq magbigay din ng review sa mga nabibili ko online gusto ko tlg legit honest wlang sugar coated
hi thank u sa blog u..ikaw ung naging guide ko dati 1st time family Gala namin sa Boracay...
Nakaka dismaya yung tumatanggap pa sila ng walk-in sa breakfast buffet Kase isa yun sa cause ng shortage. I agree with you na parang sinasadya nila wag muna e refill ang meals para umalis na ang mga kumakain. Unli diba eh bakit naglilimit.
True! Isa po sa nakakainis, inhouse guests nga kinukulang ang food tas tumatanggap pa ng walk ins. Kawawa din yung magwawalk in tas wala namang aabutang food.
When in Boracay, stay at Paradise Garden Resort Hotel and Convention Center. Customer Service is superb, the rooms are excellent and the amenities are outstanding!
Yes! We have po video of Paradise Garden too. ❤️
@@gowithmel
Sorry, I cannot seem to find it.
@carloscanonigo1016 czcams.com/video/LHmR3utcAKk/video.htmlfeature=shared
Pd ko poh ba malaman ung email add poh nila? Tas.ung 2200 poh ba good for two na poh ba un?
Hi there, weve book a flight on April 11-14 in boracay what hotel would you suggest with beachfront which will not cost you an arms and legs many thanks
Try nyo po ang golden phoenix and paradise garden. Kung super budget Bamboo at La Isla Bonita. 😊
Sa kabilang building po malaki ang area nila for dinning at hindi nagkukulang sa dishes from my experience po.
Ay sayang. Sana may naginform na pwede pala dun. Sana pala sa check in palang nabanggit na ng reception na dalawa ang dining areas. 😊 Glad that maganda ang experience nyo. ❤️
We went there before with my family, the prodblem talaga is sobrang dami nag bobook dyan, sumunod lng ako kc may work ako, then ang kinuha pala nila isa family room medyo masikip at di properly vintelated pag sa ground floor ka stay, as in narirnig ang mga dumadaan sa hallway, so i decided to book na lang sa isang hotel na medyo malayo sa dagat. For me lang ung room ang ayaw ko kc ung narrinig talaga ang yabag ng ibang guest sa hallway. I dont know lng sa ibanh room. 😊
Thank you very informative. La Carmela is one of our option hotel but now its a nooo.
Good decision po. 😊
Kamusta from Chicago! New sub here. Nakakatuwa nman ang vlogs mo! I’m glad I came across your channel. Appreciate tlaga the real reviews.
Hello there! Welcome to our channel! ❤️
New sub here 😊 Thank you so much sa super honest na review. Muntik na me magbook here. More more reviews pa pooo
Welcome to our channel po! ❤️
Sa bamboo buffet kami last october sobrang worth it masarap yung chop seuy fried chicken and humba and pancit
Ako din po nagustuhan ko kasi yan yung mga gusto kong food. 😊
You’re right mel, never again for la carmela buffet, we went there last year🤣🤣🤣
Same experience po. 😊
Thank you! We booked a room at this hotel this month, sana ma enjoy namin😂
Don't expect nalang po too much, and bawi nalang po sa Ganda ng Boracay! ❤️
Will never go back to la carmela din. Oarang sinasadya nandi mssarap food haha
It would be good sometimes to invest in your hotel because the higher the rate, expect a better service. Every time I visit Boracay I always ensure maganda yung hotel ko. Naka mura ka nga, na stress ka nmn sa bad experience mo.
Affordable po kase ang price nila for a hotel na may pool at buffet breakfast kaya para sa akin ok naman sa la carmela
Baka depende po.. Maayos po kasi kami na asikaso jan which is i personally booked plus ung room namin naconvert sa mas malaki na may dalawang room at bathtub ng walang binabayaran na additional fee malapit po ung room namin sa artista room ny sariling hagdan pababa.. Same sa buffet na assist din po kami ng maayos..
Hello there! Wow ang swerte nyo naman po. 😊 Pero yes baka po tapat tapat. Makikita nyo naman po sa may comments kung ano yung mga naging experiences nung iba, kaya swerte po kayo sa naging experience nyo. ❤️
12 noon kami nag check out last oct 17 yes 2k dep
Thank you. My choice to book sana. But i think i book le soleil. Sana mag video review naman sa le soleil. Though hennan Videos nio po view ko na❤
Try po namin next time! ❤️
High season na ba now kaya madami guests?
hindi pa
thanks for sharing your honest opinion
You are very much welcome po! ❤️
I agree sau.. twice na rin ako sa la carmela ng checkin 2 years yun different.. Hindi masarap yun food.. pero maganda Yun location nila at budget hotel sya… you get what you pay
Location si great, tama po. 😊
We’ve been there last March pero sobrang okay ang stay namin room and foods and stay okay na okay. Sobrang dami nila staff. Stayed there for 4d3n sobrang okay ang experience namin
Thank you po for sharing your great experience at La Carmela. ❤️
fun-tastic vlog... damm honest to goodness review of the hotel... nakakahawa yun tawa mo sa buffet breakfast...
try nyo boracay holiday. . . .ok din,malaki ang pool and mura lng
Very imformative and good contructive criticisms ❤
Thank you po! ❤️
andito po kami last oct 24 to 26. firsttime nmin mag boracay and dito kami nag stay for us okay naman ang experince dito sa la carmela better kumain ka ng 6am kasi kung mejo tanghali na nauubusan tlga ng seats and ng food so far okay naman ang stay nmin for 3days and 2night. and nag consider din sila ng early check in for us. smooth naman lahat. hindi naman kami maarte and most on the time nasa beach kmi. yun lang po hehe if mag bboracay ult kmi pwede pdin naman dito hehe.
Good for you! May isa ding nagcomment na OK ang experience nila. ❤️ And understandable po, kasi 1st time nyo sa Boracay. Kung nakapagstay na kayo sa ibang hotel kasi sa Boracay at tsaka palang kayo magsstay sa La Carmela, magkakaron talaga kayo ng comparison. Yung sa breakfast naman, I don't agree na dapat 6am magbreakfast para kumpleto ang food, they have to make sure na 6-10am kumpleto ang breakfast kasi yun ang sked ng breakfast. At least naenjoy nyo po ang Beach! ❤️
thankkyou po sir ☺️☺️ lagi po ako nanonood ng videos niyo and i agree sa lahat ng comment niyo before kami mag stay madami din ako nabasa negative. pero hindi ko nlng isip kasi sa beach kami naka focus. pero pag balik namin mag ttry kami ng ibang hotel. feeling ko mas okay sa iba ☺️☺️ and wala naman kami na experince sa checkk out mabilis lang po kami nag hinty like 5mins lang okay na ☺️☺️ ingat po palagi and godbless
@bobrafallo4860 Hello there! Yes, try nyo din sa iba, the more experiences you have, the more magiging meaningful ang Travel nyo. Kami din naman di mapool mas gusto ko pa tumambay sa beach, kaya lang when we vlog kasi di naman pwede na yung preference lang namin as a traveler ang ipapakita namin. Halimbawa yung pool area, need namin sya ipakita for travelers na may mga kids kasi mga bata mahilig sa pool. Kung kami lang di naman kami maarte sa hotel ang big NO lang sa amin yung parang nagmumukhang nanghihingi at naghihintay ng food. 😊 Go lang po balik lang ng balik sa Boracay, di naman nakakasawa kasi ang ganda talaga. ❤️
Sana po you can get more supporters para wala kang sponsored posts kasi pagsponsored, ganito ka honest yung review. Sana people will support this channel para dun na mabawi yung kita. Thank you for the great review. I also heard bad reviews about La Carmela Boracay
Thank you! ❤️
Supreme talaga visayas pagdating sa beach...Boracay, Bantayan and Panglao are top tier beaches
Saan poh kayo nag booked for la carmela de boracay? Kasi poh napaka mura, for 2,200.00 pesos lang per night.
Mura na the best!!!!! book na!
Just ended my boracay trip at uptown hotel and it was a very good experience...sobrang assist sila especially sa buffet nila.
Iba po talaga kapag maganda ang Customer service. ❤️
