The resort is strategically located.
In Boracay with the little ones? Discovery Shores Boracay is located in Station 1, the more quiet and laidback part of the island. The resort has a wide (and not crowded) beachfront, where the kids can frolic and simply have a good time.
Hospitality is first class.
Discovery Shores Boracay’s A game in terms of hospitality begins the moment guests land in the airport. There’s an appointed van and private air-conditioned boats to shuttle you to and from the airports and jetty ports.
Upon arriving, someone will usher you to your suite (after offering you a welcome drink and cold towel) and help you check in without leaving your room—so imagine the convenience that gives after hours of traveling. Any request is just a phone call away, and staff are greeting you with a smile every time you pass by one in the whole resort.
Your kids may actually never want to leave the room.
Okay, that may be an exaggeration—but suffice to say that the suites in Discovery Shores Boracay are perfect for a vacation. Think comfy beds where you just want to be in all day, an extra day bed you can just lazily lounge on, a balcony that affords you some of the most spectacular views of Boracay (you have to see the views from the balconies of the newly-launched Signature Suites!), a mini bar for your always-hungry little companions, an entertainment system, and many more features to cater to the needs of both the young ones and young once.
If you’re billeted at any of the 11 indulgent suites in the exclusive wing, your room features a high ceiling, a separate living space, a dining area, and an infinity lounge pool at the balcony. Again, you have a breathtaking view of the island right from your own balcony!
There are connecting rooms for bigger families.
Traveling in a big group can sometimes cause some worries in accommodation. Fret not as Discovery Shores Boracay has connecting suites for families who want to be in close proximity to one another.
Dining options are aplenty.
You bet, these young people can be extra picky with food. But that’s what makes Discovery Shores Boracay the perfect place to bring them. With an array of dining options to choose from, there’s something to suit their fancy and please their palate.
All-day casual dining and breakfast buffet is at Sands Restaurant, while fine dining is at Indigo Restaurant. Appetizing pizza and pasta are offered at Forno Osteria. See, you need not leave the resort to find good food!
The swimming pool is kid-friendly.
Kids never get tired of swimming in a pool, right? At Discovery Shores Boracay, there is a shallow kiddie pool and butlers are ready to hand you inflatable toys and complimentary treats to level up your kids’ pool experience. And not to mention the pool area is very Instagrammable!
The kids will love The Sandbox!
