Launched less than a year ago, The Lind Hotel is already one of Boracay’s most praised hotels. This 5 star luxury resort finally gives the Shangri-La a real competitor for the title of best hotel on the island. This impressive hotel is designed to serve every one of your needs and cravings, while making sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised even if you come with the highest expectations.
The Lind is located at the northernmost part of White Beach (station 1) and so it enjoys the very best section of the most beautiful beach in the world. This is a distinct advantage over its main competitor, the Shangri-La. This resort is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to have an all inclusive 5 star vacation in Boracay. On top of that, The Lind hotel is our number 1 pick for couples, especially honeymooners, who are hoping for a real once in a lifetime experience.

From the moment you set foot inside the hotel, you realize you’ve reached a place where the highest standards are maintained. The reception area is wide and neatly designed, with a nice small café right next to it. The whole resort really exudes a feeling of luxury and elegance, and it’s quite hard to not be impressed. The staff is very friendly, and you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and a cool drink as you as you arrive.
There are only 119 rooms at the Lind, but the complex is huge since everything they do is so grandiose. We have to admit we got lost a few times trying to find our way, especially since the reception isn’t at the ground floor. Luckily, there are staff members everywhere and they are all very helpful, so someone also showed us the right way to the beach. The good thing about the hotel being so large is that even though it was fully booked, it never felt crowded at all.
All rooms are equipped with a mini fridge, which is filled once during your visit and offered for free. The WiFi signal is fantastic all across the hotel, which is something extremely rare in Boracay. Rooms are all very spacious and modernly designed, and each of them also has a private balcony overlooking the ocean. Standards amenities such as AC, safety box, a large LED TV and high end toiletries are also provided of course.
[pros_cons] The Lind Hotel has an assortment of services which turn it from a luxury hotel into an all inclusive experience. Above all, we were impressed with the level of the facilities. The spa and the gym are both very big and well designed, which makes it really fun to visit them. There’s also a nice kid’s zone where your child can play, and a nanny service is available for an additional charge. That’s very useful for parents who want to have some time for themselves.There are also 4 restaurants on site, each specializing in a slightly different cuisine. They are all highly praised for they food and service. Breakfast is served in buffet style, from 6:30 to 10am at the Tartine restaurant. The restaurant then stays open until 10pm, serving an a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. Since the place is a popular dinner spot for dinner walk in guests, it’s better to reserve a seat.
The second restaurant is called Crust, and is located by the beach area. Open from 11am to 11pm, it specializes in pizzas made in a wood fire oven. The infinity bar at the rooftop and +36 bar at the lobby both serve drinks and snacks. They are a great place to sit back and relax, while watching the beautiful view.
The Lind Boracay also organizes its own transfer service from Caticlan airport. You will be picked up straight from the airport, then driven in a private van to the pier. From there, you’ll use the hotel’s private speedboat to reach Boracay, where another van will take you to the hotel. The whole trip takes roughly 30 minutes, and it’s much more convenient than taking the regular boat with everyone else.
Free services doesn’t stop there, and you’ll get a free mini bar set up in every room you take. A turn down service means housekeeping will visit your room again before night time, to replace towels again and replenish all used toiletries. They’ll prepare the bed for sleep, and also leave a nice small gift for you – either a cookie, a chocolate or a cake. A shuttle service to D’Mall is also available on an hourly basis from 6am until midnight – so you can always go to shop or party in the central part of White Beach if you like.
To sum it up, The Lind is easily one of the best hotels in the Philippines. Amazing beach location, worlds class service and luxurious rooms are what you can expect there. Better yet, this place is a sure bet and never fails to deliver despite the high expectations. This hotel is the best choice for couples or small groups who wish to enjoy a real 5 star experience at the most beautiful beach in the world.
This is the most basic room type and also the cheapest. Still, with 45m2 it can comfortably accommodate 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 kids. The room comes with 2 queen size beds. If you prefer to have it with a king size bed instead, please let us know in advance.
Both rooms are designed similarly, with the exception of the Beach Room also having a Nespresso machine. It’s also closer to the beach, and has a better view. That is why it costs 30$ extra per night. We think it’s worth it, but it’s up to you to decide and let us know. Both rooms are 53m2 and come with 1 king size bed and a sofa bed.
This is a garden room, only it’s 58m2 and has a private dipping pool in the balcony. The room comes with 1 king size bed and a sofa bed, and can fit in 2 adults and 2 children comfortably. It also has a Nespresso coffee maker in it.
These range from 77 to 90 square meters and are good for either 2 adults and 2 kids or 3 adults. They both cost roughly the same (Sea view room is 30$ more per night). So you can ask for either one and we’ll do our best to secure it, depending on availability of course. These rooms come with 1 king size bed and one sofa bed.
