Diniview Villa Resort

Simply superb. We booked out all 8 villas for the family. The experience was amazing. 11/10 Reception check-in was quick, seamless and without hassle. The common pool is great. Sparkling, lovely sun lounges, nice view with good facilities. We often congregated there, listen to music and enjoying the vibrant, tropical surrounds The staff are efficient, competent and welcoming. The villas are clean, well maintained, picturesque, relaxing and with all the modern conveniences. Wi-Fi worked very well. Staff are certainly what make this place. I don’t like mentioning staff by name in reviews, however Mikee was exceptional. Dealing with 34 of my family is no easy task. She dealt with the kids, the elderly and my new wife with aplomb. Location is approx. 10-15 min from DMall by Tuk Tuk. (usually 200-250 peso) Its always a nice ride, interesting and very easy to get a Tuk Tuk (just ask reception) All Tuk Tuk wait at the bottom of the hill (where Diniview is), so never waiting long for transport. (2-3 minutes) I saw ALL villas and they are clean, well presented, with all the modern conveniences. Most importantly the beds and pillows are really comfortable, and the showers have plenty of hot water. Bathrooms just lovely. Salt, is easily the best Villa and worth every cent if you have a big family or going with couples. The view of sunset from the upstairs balcony is exceptional. The trees around the villas have been pruned so the views have opened up significantly (from other photos on TripAdvisor) which makes this a world class view of Boracay. (White beach all day long, and sunset in the evening. The infinity pool in Salt, well, you have to go to believe it. Photos will never do it justice.) I also highly recommend Shell Villa for couples. With its plunge pool and upstairs downstairs configuration, is just perfect. (my new wife and I will be back to experience this villa next year!) There were mentions in other reviews of insects in the villas given they are beautifully open, but we had no issues at all in any villas. Well, except for the beautiful butterflies that are prevalent.!! The walk to the beach and Diniwid Beach Bar and Café is under 5 minutes. Quite steep for the elderly, but this is catered for by a quick tuk tuk at 100peso. The ride is about 3 minutes ,and lets face it, the tuk tu kride is much more fun!) I could write about Diniview all day long, but don’t wont to spoil your potential visit. It is amazing. There is nothing they wont do for you to ensure you have a fantastic stay. And the combination of Diniview Villas, the Beach Bar and Lemon Café (in Dmall) ensured every food option available/delivered. We had planned to cook and be self-sufficient, however with the options available and quality of the food, we simply had delivery. Note – the cocktails at Diniwid Beach Bar and Café are crazy good, and do yourself a favour, and try the fish slider) The other thing I would mention is that we had some “Picka Picka” delivered to Sal

Whilst the villa was nice, meeting the owner was a real interesting experience. Myself and some friends rented one of the villa’s for 5 nights in November. One morning, I was minding my business, making my way towards the beach.. I get stared at by some woman, I ignore it and carry on walking, she then makes dialogue; ‘erm, excuse me.. are you staying here? You have to be a guest to walk around here’ To which I simply asked ‘what makes you think I’m not a guest here?’ She repeats her self; ‘You must be a guest to walk around here. Which villa are you staying in then?’ There’s 2 issues here; 1) assuming I’m not a guest for reasons only she’s privy to 2) if you genuinely wanted to know whether I was a guest or not, there’s a manner of which you behave in matters like this. The very basics of customer service. She should have introduced herself as the owner of the complex and asked the question in a way where it’s not fuelled by assumptions. Assumptions that are only based on her misconceptions. I dealt with it well but if it was anyone else, they may have not been so kind. Regardless, I later find out that she’s the owner. A Swedish lady who also has her own villa on site. I’m not sure how things are now in parts of Sweden but where I’m from (London), ethnic minorities can indeed afford the nicer things in life. So yeah, some causal discrimination / xenophobia. Hopefully she educates herself on how to deal with guests going forward. Disappointing.

Salt villa - we were so amazed of the beauty of this villa especially the infinity pool overlooking the majestic white beach of Boracay. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfy, and the facilities are great. Staff - Ms. Mikee was helpful since the day I made the reservation. She accommodated all our requests and even suggested dining and activity options. Their service was excellent. I will definitely go back here.

One of the very few places I’ve stayed where the photos online didn’t do it the full justice !! Totally loved Diniview, we were blown away when they opened the door of our Moon villa, it was just paradise… staff were amazing and you have literally everything you will need already in the Villa, just arrive with your clothes !! Even the food available that can be delivered to your place if you choose was fantastic…I will 100% be coming back here and sending my friends here too and watch out for Andy the Cat, what a character 🤣🤣

Gem of a find. This property is a one of a kind and a very pleasant surprise. If you want to stay in a place where the noise is from birds and crickets, thus is for you. You can hear the wind rustling through the trees. Hearing roosters crow when we’re on the porch looking at the hills and the ocean is a very welcome experience.

We enjoyed our stay at the Moon Villa in August. We were travelling with our two teenage children, and our friends, who stayed in the similar Sun Villa. The transport we booked through the Villa was efficient and it was nice to not have to deal with a lot of people trying to get customers at the airport and ferry terminals. The people working here were really friendly, and easy to contact via text if you wanted to order out, book a massage, or order an e-trike up to the Villa. It was nice to have breakfast items ready for the first morning, and to be able to get our laundry done mid-week, for a reasonable price. The shower upstairs is very calming and nicely designed. The bed was really comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and the outside foot shower was really handy. A lot of thought has gone into the design. I also really appreciated the pool and all the plantings that make the property so beautiful. The only drawbacks, coming from a drier and colder climate, is that there were quite a few insects and reptiles in the Villa. There are lizards and geckos in the roof, and if you're not used to it, they can be disconcerting. I doubt you could stay many places without them though. One night we came back to our Villa to find a cat on top of the fridge. It ran out, but things can just get in because the bathroom is just open to the outside. There were also two crabs some spiders, ants, and centipede-type things in the downstairs bathroom, which we removed to the outside. The whole resort is eco friendly so it's probably a trade-off to have some living things in the Villa and not have a lot of pesticides being used.
