Henann Crystal Sands Boracay: Family Resort, Infinity Pool
Dreaming of a Boracay family getaway? Henann Crystal Sands offers stunning infinity pools, direct White Beach access, and a prime spot near D'Mall. See why it's perfect!

As I was planning our family trip to Boracay with my child,
Which accommodation is close to D'Mall?
What resort is great for swimming with the kids?
Is there a place that's right on White Beach
and has a beautiful pool too?
We all wonder about these things, don't we?
When I was looking for accommodation in Boracay,
from the location to the pool, breakfast, and even the rooms,
I really compared a lot of options.

During our 7-day, 6-night trip to Boracay,
we spent a whopping four nights
at Henann Crystal Sands Resort.
If you're planning a family trip to Boracay with your kids,
I truly believe this is a place worth returning to.
What's more, my daughter
even after we returned from our trip,
still talks about the pool here!

For the kids, a pool where they can play to their heart's content,
for moms, a picturesque infinity pool perfect for photos,
White Beach right at your doorstep,
and D'Mall just a stone's throw away — that's Henann Crystal Sands!
I'm excited to share my personal experience from our four-night stay~!
Among the many Henann resorts,
Why did we choose Henann Crystal Sands?
📍 Henann Crystal Sands Resort
Beachfront, Station 1, Boracay Island, Malay, 5608 Aklan, Philippines
📍 Starbucks
Boat Station 1, Boracay Island, Malay, 5608 Aklan, Philippines
📍 D'Mall Boracay
D'mall Palengke, Station 2 Boracay, Malay, 5603 Aklan, Philippines
In Boracay, there are several Henann resorts alone.
There are quite a few of them.
Among them,
what I considered most important were
the location and the swimming pool.
One of the standout advantages of Henann Crystal Sands
is, without a doubt, its location.

It's a beachfront accommodation situated right on White Beach,
and it's also very close to D'Mall.
(just a 5-10 minute walk away).
During our four-night stay,
whether it was heading out for meals,
shopping,
or getting a massage,
we managed to do almost everything on foot.






Especially when you're traveling with kids on a family vacation,
this is a massive advantage.
And,
if you're someone who frequents Starbucks,
the location will be even more convenient for you.
(just a 3-minute walk away).
The Pool My Child Still Remembers
at Henann Crystal Sands
Another major reason I recommend this as a Boracay family accommodation:
The biggest reason of all!
It's the swimming pool.

Honestly, when I was booking the accommodation,
the pool in the photos was a huge deciding factor.
And when we actually arrived,
it wasn't just a pool that looked pretty in pictures.
The main pool on the first floor stretches out, long and inviting,
my daughter went back and forth from one end to the other,
having such a great time.
It must have been incredibly fun for her.
Even though some time has passed since our Boracay trip,
she keeps saying how amazing the pool was,
and she still talks about it to this day.
If you're traveling with a child who loves water play,
this pool alone is enough to
make your stay at Henann Crystal Sands absolutely worthwhile.
I can confidently say!

Ground Floor Pool
( AM 8:00 ~ PM 8:00 )
Kid-Friendly Fun


2nd Floor Infinity Pool ( Sky Pool )
( AM 8:00 ~ PM 10:00 )
This infinity pool overlooks the stunning Boracay sea.

It looked gorgeous in photos,
but seeing it in person,
the combined view of the pool and the Boracay sea
was truly breathtaking.
And Boracay's sunsets
are just incredibly beautiful, aren't they?

From the Sky Pool, you get to witness both White Beach and
Boracay's famous sunsets.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to capture some truly stunning photos!

A Pool That Both Kids and Moms
White Beach Right at Your Doorstep
Another fantastic advantage of Henann Crystal Sands?
You can dive into both the refreshing pool and the iconic White Beach
all at once!

The resort is a prime beachfront property,
situated directly on White Beach.
Anyone who's traveled with kids knows the drill –
getting to the pool involves packing swimsuits,
floats, towels, and a whole lot more!
But here, after a swim at the resort,
you only have to walk a few steps to be right on White Beach,
making the whole experience incredibly convenient.

Pool + White Beach + D'Mall
If these three are high on your priority list,
then you're going to absolutely love it here!
Breakfast at Henann Crystal Sands

Breakfast is served at the resort's main restaurant,
Sapphire Restaurant.
AM 6:00 ~ AM 10:00
Since we stayed for 4 nights,
we had plenty of chances to experience the breakfast spread.
The menu was wonderfully diverse, offering everything from
authentic Filipino dishes to custom-made
omelets, fresh
salads, delightful
desserts, and so much more.






While the core offerings remained consistent,
the menu did rotate slightly each day.
I was particularly delighted by the spaghetti on our first morning –
it was so good,
I looked forward to having it again the next day...
only to find it wasn't on the menu anymore!
Haha!
To be honest,
I'd heard some mixed reviews about the breakfast at Henann properties before arriving,
so perhaps my expectations were initially low,
but...
Our family was more satisfied with the food than we expected.

Best of all, after enjoying breakfast,
we could step right out onto White Beach
and take a leisurely stroll, gazing at the morning sea.
That was truly wonderful!
The rooms are pretty standard
From the start, my priority wasn't the room itself,
but rather the location and the pool when choosing this accommodation.
So, during our family's 4-night stay,
we didn't experience any major discomfort.



The beds were comfortable,
there was no unpleasant dampness I worried about,
we didn't see any bugs,
and the water pressure and overall
room condition were also fine.
Oh, and since I always bring my own pillowcases whenever I travel,
I think I was less sensitive to those aspects.
Oh, and don't expect a view either.
We never had a reason to open the window... haha!

Our room had a wall view.... haha!
Handy Tips Before You Check In
Even after check-out,
we were able to store our luggage,
allowing us to conveniently go out without our bags
until we moved to our next accommodation.

The deposit was
at the time of our stay,
2,000 pesos per night
Henann Crystal Sands
Recommended as a family-friendly accommodation for trips with kids!
Having personally stayed for 4 nights, I recommend it for:
✔ Families traveling with kids who love water activities
✔ Those who prioritize a large swimming pool
✔ Anyone wanting to capture beautiful photos at the infinity pool
✔ Those who want frequent access to White Beach
✔ Those who value easy access to D'Mall
✔ Families who want to minimize travel time with children
✔ Anyone who plans to frequently visit Starbucks or D'Mall
if these points resonate with you.
▼ Boracay Ocean View Accommodations ▼
The biggest advantages of Henann Crystal Sands, in my opinion, were
its swimming pools + White Beach + D'Mall accessibility.
These three points truly stood out.
Boracay truly has an abundance of beautiful resorts.
However,
if you're planning a family trip to Boracay with kids,
don't just focus on how good the room itself is.
Think about how much fun your child can have at the accommodation,
and what your family will spend the most time doing there.
For our family,
this accommodation had an incredibly high satisfaction level based on those criteria.


If, like us,
you consider the swimming pool + White Beach + D'Mall accessibility important,
then compare dates and room prices!
