Pool Bar at The Mövenpick

About Pool Bar at The Mövenpick

The crowd here skews 25 to 45 — resort guests and visiting couples, with a steady thread of Filipino locals and travellers from around Asia filling the day beds through the afternoon. Table service runs the length of the pool deck on Punta Bunga Rd, so a spot is something you settle into for hours rather than pass through, with lounge and deep house kept low enough to talk over. Fridays and Saturdays draw the biggest numbers, though the pace stays unhurried even then. Beachwear is the whole of the dress code: swimwear, a cover-up, nothing more considered than that. Prices sit in the mid band, which for a resort pool bar on Boracay reads as fair rather than punishing. The season runs May through October, and the drinking age is 18. Come mid-afternoon if you want a bed with a clear line to the horizon before sunset.
