FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON BORACAY
Marriott International brand.
By Ma. Carmela S. Glorioso
There is no doubt that it is fun to be immersed in the vibrant urban life and the city’s bustle. Sometimes, though, people need to get away from the throbbing nightlife or daily grind and take a breath of fresh air to relax and enjoy.
But just because you’re getting out of major cities and the crowds that come with them doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort and class. And one of the best getaway places in the country is Boracay, where you can book a stay or two at Four Points by Sheraton Boracay, offering a perfect combination of location, comfort, and trusted global hospitality.
“We are located in Station 1, which is known for having the most beautiful stretch of Boracay’s white sand while still offering a more relaxed and refined atmosphere compared to other parts of the island. Guests can enjoy that exclusivity while staying in a hotel backed by the Marriott International brand, which means consistent service, quality, and
reliability. It’s the kind of place where guests can truly disconnect, relax, and experience Boracay at its best,” says Lee Flores, Director of Sales and Marketing of Four Points by Sheraton Boracay.
Providing a modern look yet maintaining the island’s relaxed ambience
our Points by Sheraton Boracay has a modern look with clean architectural lines and bright, open spaces that echo the island’s relaxed spirit. Upon entering the hotel, guests are welcomed into a spacious lobby with warm wood finishes, minimalist interiors, and soft lighting that sets a calm and sophisticated tone.
The 339 well-appointed rooms are designed to provide both comfort and functionality for leisure and family travelers.
At the heart of the property is a large lagoon-style swimming pool surrounded by palm trees and lounge areas, creating a vibrant and refreshing atmosphere for guests. The guest rooms equally display this contemporary aesthetic, offering comfortable, well-lit spaces for relaxation after a day exploring the powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters of Boracay, once named the best island in the world by Condé Nast.
Throughout the hotel property, guests will notice light coastal tones, natural textures, and open spaces that, in natural light, create a sense of calm and openness. The vision was to create a space that feels modern and internationally refined, while still embracing the easygoing charm and warmth that define island living in Boracay.
Effortless island living complemented by international comfort
“At Four Points by Sheraton Boracay, the experience is really about effortless island living paired with international comfort,” remarks Flores. “Guests appreciate the balance of a relaxed beach escape with the modern conveniences and service standards of a global brand. One of the most memorable experiences is simply unwinding by the poolside while enjoying our signature Best Brews™ selection — moments that oftentimes become unforgettable highlights of their stay.”
From the moment guests step inside the hotel, every staff member displays genuine hospitality, exemplifying Filipino excellence in care. Guests are greeted with warm smiles, personalized assistance, and thoughtful attention to detail.
“Our associates take pride in creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while also anticipating guest needs — whether that means recommending the best sunset spots, assisting with island activities, or simply making sure every stay feels seamless and enjoyable.”
Those looking for various activities won’t get disappointed as the hotel offers a variety of amenities, including multiple swimming pools, dining outlets, fitness facilities, event spaces, and convenient access to Boracay’s famous white sand beach, ensuring a great, complete island getaway.
Although Four Points by Sheraton Boracay is not directly located on the beachfront, guests can conveniently access the island paradise’s famous white sand beach within a short walk. Its location allows guests to enjoy the vibrant beach scene and seamlessly return to the hotel’s calmer, more private resort environment. Many guests appreciate this balance, as it offers both the excitement of Boracay and a relaxing retreat to unwind after a day by the sea.
Fun Activities for the Family
Aside from beach lovers, Flores points out that Boracay naturally brings families together, and the 4-star hotel supports them with activities that allow guests to enjoy the island in meaningful ways. Families can enjoy water activities in its infinity pool, spend time on the beach, stretch those muscles in the 24/7 Fitness Center, and enjoy family-friendly dining on the property.
Flores adds that their team is ready to assist guests wanting extraordinary moments to cherish.
“We can assist in arranging exclusive experiences such as private island-hopping tours, sunset cruises, or romantic dinners. These curated experiences allow guests to discover the beauty of Boracay beyond the usual travel itinerary.”
Tired from the outdoor activities all day, yet yearning to ease those weary muscles? Worry not, because each room at the hotel is designed to help guests relax after a day in the sun. Guests can enjoy comfortable Four Points signature bedding, spacious bathrooms, and thoughtfully selected in-room amenities. The rooms are designed to feel calm and refreshing, allowing guests to recharge and fully enjoy their island vacation.
Polaris Ballroom: An Excellent Venue for MICE
Apart from leisure and comfort, Four Points by Sheraton Boracay is steadily carving a niche as an excellent option for a suitable venue for MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) in Boracay.
Alongside the property is the Polaris Ballroom, a functional event space that complements the hotel’s services and provides a seamless flow of well-meaning events in an island setting. Staff members of the Polaris Ballroom assure clients of well-planned ideas that align with the occasion. It is well-equipped with state-of-the-art audio and visual systems for crisp sound and vivid presentations, such as:
- Grand Visual Display: A high-definition LED wall sets the stage for dynamic presentations and visually engaging experiences.
- State-of-the-Art Audio: Advanced sound systems ensure clarity and precision, allowing every moment to be heard effortlessly.
- Spacious Welcome Center: A well-designed arrival area offers guests a smooth and impressive entry, setting the tone for the event ahead.
Protecting the local marine environment
As part of Marriott International, sustainability and responsible tourism are among the hotel’s priorities. Four Points by Sheraton Boracay actively supports such environmental initiatives as responsible waste management, energy conservation, and operational practices that help minimize environmental impact.
“Our team also participates in coastal cleanup activities and community-driven environmental efforts that help protect Boracay’s shoreline and marine ecosystem. Through these initiatives, we aim to help preserve the island’s natural beauty so that future generations can continue to enjoy Boracay,” states Flores.
A night or two at the hotel cannot be more satisfying without having to indulge in gustatory delights. Good thing, dining is an essential part of the Four Points experience. Guests can enjoy a variety of international dishes alongside well-loved Filipino favorites, all prepared using quality ingredients and thoughtful culinary techniques.
Signature offerings include the hotel’s Best Brews™ selection, perfectly paired with crowd favorites such as the Four Points Burger and Four Points Pizza. Guests can also enjoy Filipino classics such as Vegetable Kare-Kare, Sinigang na Hipon, and Classic Chicken Inasal, among many other flavorful dishes that highlight local tastes.
Many guests also enjoy dining by the pool, where the relaxed island ambience sets a positive tone and atmosphere for the overall experience, making every meal both comforting and memorable.
Flores is fully committed to her duties, no matter how challenging they may be, especially regarding understanding guest expectations in different cultures. She says that one valuable lesson she always keeps in mind is that hospitality is universal, yet expectations can vary depending on cultural backgrounds and travel motivations.
“The key is to remain attentive, flexible, and genuinely caring. When you truly listen to guests and understand what matters to them, you can create experiences that feel personal and memorable,” she declares.
Target goal for the year
As Four Points by Sheraton Boracay aims to strengthen its position as a top premium destination in Boracay for both leisure and MICE travelers, Flores envisions a successful future. “We aim to enhance guest experiences while growing our presence in the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) segment by promoting the Polaris Ballroom, a versatile event space next to the hotel that is perfect for corporate gatherings, conferences, and special events.
“By strengthening partnerships within the tourism industry and showcasing Boracay as a dynamic destination for both business and leisure, we hope to position Four Points by Sheraton Boracay as a top choice for international and local travelers seeking both island relaxation and professional event facilities.”
