Directly connected to adult rooms, these kids’ rooms burst in vibrant and colorful designs and décor— from a pirate ship-themed room, a Peter Pan-themed room, and a 2000 Leagues Under the Sea-themed room—to offer a more playful sanctuary for younger guests. This allows families to enjoy a fun and immersive experience during their stay in Boracay Newcoast.
