My husband and I stayed at Asya in August this year for 3 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The property is not very big but it was beautiful and still looks brand new. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a suite with a kitchen and large balcony facing the pool and the suite was clean and incredibly spacious with modern, Bali-style decor. The bathroom was also very clean and spacious with a huge shower! We didn't end up using the kitchen except the fridge to store drinks that we bought from one of the stores. It was much cheaper than buying drinks from the restaurant/bar. Also, even though there was a fridge, microwave and stove in the kitchen, there were no utensils, dishes, pots, pans, etc. so we couldn't cook anyway.
The swimming pool was not that big but it was still very nice. The grounds had very lush landscaping which looked beautiful and made you feel like you were in an isolated hotel even though it's actually surrounded by so many other hotels/resorts. The only draw back to the greenery is that there were quite a lot of mosquitoes in the evenings. If you're prone to being bitten, insect repellent or long sleeves and pants are necessary at those times.
We only had dinner at the hotel on the first night. It was good but relatively expensive. The breakfast buffet was decent and satisfying. The fruit should've had some sort of cover to protect them from fruit flies.
There was a large office area for guest use with internet access but there were a couple of internet cafes along the lane towards the beach that had lower hourly rates so don't bother using the hotel's computers for that purpose.
Even though the hotel is not a beach front property, we didn't mind one bit because the walk to the beach was at most, 2 minutes. However, d'mall and the areas with more excitement was about a 20-25 minute walk away. We didn't mind so much as we were looking for a relaxing ending to our 3 week vacation in the Philippines. Anyway, it was a relaxing walk past many shops, restaurants and other hotels.
One of the services that we appreciated the most was the private speedboat to/from Caticlan. When we arrived at Caticlan, it was night time so we had to take the ferry that is packed with everyone arriving at the same time from the same flight. However, when we left, we were taken to the private cove for the private speedboat to take us back to Caticlan. If you are going to stay at Asya, make sure that you arrive and leave during daylight hours in order to be able to use this private boat service. We were told that the boat isn't equipped with proper lighting for night use. Anyway, it was SO much better than the packed ferry.
Even though August is rainy season, we were very lucky and it only rained on the evening of our arrival so our visit to Boracay was amazing. Since it wasn't peak tourist season, it was not completely overrun with people. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay at Asya. We easily could've stayed for a full week.
