Boracay Island hotels & accommodations

Great beachfront location close to D’mall. Sky pool bar is a huge attraction and definitely is this hotels USP. Infinity pool gets the sun all day and provide the best spot to look at the sunset. John and his team as always know how to look after his guests and make sure you are fully juiced up giving no reason to leave the pool area. Typical Henann surroundings, ameni...

The staff make the Lind a 5 star experience, they are both friendly and polite. Any time I made a request it was done quickly and with a smile. The facility is truly beautiful, a modern and enjoyable design. Cleanliness is 10/10. The concierge assisted me with booking activities on the island with recommended providers, making it simple and stress free. This is on...

we were on vacation because of my recent birthday that i celebrated in Boracay Regency Hotel and Spa...i only made a internet surfing for low cost hotels in boracay suddenly i choosed this Boracay Regency Hotel and Spa...which i choosed the right hotel for our family vacation also...it was a great honor to be celebrated my birthday in this hotel, the staff were all fr...

Our flight from Manila via Air Phil was delayed by more than 4 hours. So, it was already past 5:00p.m. and have to be diverted to Kalibo airport. Travel another 1-1/2 hr. by land to Caticlan jetty port. We arrived the resort almost 9;00p.m. But, the staffs were at the lobby welcoming us with cold towels and welcome drinks. The check-in procedure was swift and we were g...

I must give 2 thumbs up for their hotel transfer service, journey from Kalibo airport to Boracay island is full of twists and turns, but they manage to keep track of everything and provide a smooth transfer from land to sea to land, it's highly recommended. It was a surprise for us at the moment we found out the shuttle bus to pick us up is from a 5 stars hotel, turns ...

we were having hesitations of booking this king of hotel but when we checked i at boracay garden, it was superb and amazing! price was ok same as hkg's hotels but you wont regret booking this hotel. buffet breakfast offers international dishes! location is very nice located at station 2 of boracay island. a 5 star hotel with a 3 star price! you will really get your mon...

We stayed 7 days 3 hotels while we were in Boracay to experience 3 stations (areas). We. 1st we stayed in Henann Primier (station 1), Astoria (station 3), then Crown Regency (station 2). Here our reviews.. POSITIVE: - Airport transfer from Boracay airport to Hotel 550peso for both of us, cheap & must have! Because there are no taxi to get to Boracay. Hotel representat...

My family had a splendid vacation at Fairways! Fairways has the best spot in Boracay Island. It has vast estate that houses a number of villas, pools and restaurants and a golf course. It has efficient and prompt shuttle services. We did not have to wait for a long time for the shuttles to arrive. Fairways has many of shuttles that are one call away. The villas ar...

The new Henann hotel is probably the best Henann hotel in Boracay! The hotel is totally new, it looks amazing, the rooms are great, it’s right on the beautiful white beach and the stuff are very kind and helpful! The hotel manager Glenn is great and was always around to make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommended for honeymoon or any visit in the island, we enj...

Boracay is definitely a great place for a short honeymoon, or a beach holiday. The people are all super friendly and both my husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The Ocean Club was by far one of the best resorts located along the quieter side of the beach in Boracay. Free beach towels and beach chairs for uninterrupted and peaceful sunset viewing. Although walking back fr...

This is THE best hotel in Boracay and the most expensive one, I believe. The staff service is superb and if you move out from this hotel to just any other in boracay, you will wish you hadn't. The resort is a huge project quietly located on the north west corner of the Boracay island down the hill valley and privacy is what this is all about. Therefore the water is cle...

I'm a regular guest at Two Seasons and I always stay here when I visit Boracay. Two Seasons has a high-end resort feel (for Boracay standards) and is one of the affordable beachfront resorts in Station 1. It's super close to Discovery Shores and Ambassador's in Paradise but is the most value for money among these places. (Station 1 is the quiet side of the Boracay wh...

Lykz from Lititz, Pennsylvania USA. I sent my family to Boracay island for their mini vacation and this hotel caught my eyes. Read the reviews before I book this hotel and I was convinced. My family stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. First thing they said, that the STAFF was really nice to them. Even offered them drinks. They love the foods and the rooms they’re sta...

The transfer from Kalibo airport all the way to hotel was seamless. Coast arranged for the 3rd party private car transfer by Southwest from airport to jetty and took over from there using their own speedboat to Boracay island and vehicle to hotel. We were amazed with their friendly personable service right from the jetty, throughout the stay and all the way until the ...

We visited Bamboo Resort a few days ago as extension of our stay from other resort and we regret why we not stay here from the day we stay and didnt want to leave this place. The place was excellent and so humble. They really made us feel at home even for a night only. We traveled Boracay to attend an events and we took advantage to stay more night. The Buffet dinner i...

We split our stay on Boracay between another establishment on station 2 and this one in order to experience both sides of the island. Station zero, as they have coined it, is a great place to stay unwind and relax after the hustle and bustle of station 2. They do have shuttles back and forth every hour and a half but we didn’t move from the hotel’s private beach for th...

i loved everything! a definite 2 thumbs up :) food-tip try their fruit shakes! a must-try! room-tip the room we stay in was spacious and clean. web-tip there is free wifi but the connection is very weak. your best shot is at jony's bar if you need to connect urgently. overall, we had a wonderful stay at jony's and we will like to give thanks and appreciate to t...

The room is spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally elegant. This was a great experience for us who were first timers in Boracay Island. We enjoyed the facilities especially the 2 pools overviewing the sea and the private beach. It is perfect! And amazing! 24/7 shuttle is convenient which will drop us anywhere like D'Mall, D'Talipapa and Cagban Port. 10-15 minutes wai...

It was a well spent vacation in Le Soleil. All staff are friendly and ready to assist us with our needs and requests. We were accommodated for an early check-in and our room was upgraded for free as well. The hotel is clean and well maintained. Complimentary breakfast buffet is nice and plenty. Staying here is worth every peso. Plus, I almost left Boracay island witho...

Azalea is 3-7 minutes walk to the beach. The facility is new and security is really good. Cleanliness, security and to have peace of mind is the reason you want to stay in Azalea. Its a little bit pricey but if you can afford it then this is the place for you. The restaurant is just okay so we only try it once. We have a big amount of cash so we deposit half of...

I've stayed in so much hotels here and abroad and this is by far the best we have been to. The service was exceptional! As soon as I booked, I got an email asking for our flight details and guests. The airport to hotel transfer is already included, no additional fee. All the staff say greet you when they see you. They make sure that you are special. When we were loungi...

Despite the wide choice of various hotels all over the Boracay Island, we were pretty happy to choose Red Coconut. Thanks to its perfect location in the mid-part of the beach, we had access to everything we needed for our leisure: water activities, cafes, shops, etc. Our room was quite spacious and clean, with the room service being at a high level. All the hotel staff...

The staff were fantastic, our villa was huge and beautiful and there were little things that I really liked such as they didn’t try to add a massive markup on the extras. The drinks in the fridge were shop prices, the masseuse was the best in the island (the best I’ve ever had) and much cheaper than others we saw and the transfers were well priced too. These things ...

I would like to commend this hotel because they are one of the reasons why my stay at boracay was on of the best i’ve ever had. The hotel staffs are very friendly. They always smile and when ever we need assistance they are always happy to serve you. The place was near the beach and the room was very clean. The price is budget friendly (when you book early). The also ...

From the time I first set foot in Boracay in 2004, I knew in the silence of my heart that this glorious paradise will always be my second home! (tee-hee) And since then, I have never failed to return year after year. This year is actually my seventh! Yes! 7th time to hit the blue green clear waters and white sand beach of this lovely island. Price Update for DIY tra...

Excellent location, within seconds walking distance to the longest beach on Boracay island, close to popular restaurants, shops and venders offering massages/excursions. Breakfast was included in the competitive room rate and had multiple choices of western as well as local set menus. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable for ...

After we landed, things started off bad but once I was able to speak with the manager and staff, the rest of our time went great. The staff and management were wonderful. They should be commended! The hotel is in the perfect location and right on the beach. It is directly beside D-mall. The suite has great views, we highly recommend spending the extra money to enjoy am...

Everything is good in here. It is just a few meters away from Puka Beach (the untouched white beach of Boracay Island). What's more is that they have free shuttle service going there. They also provide towels upon arriving there; the lifeguards were also attentive. The hotel is actually cheaper than what it offers: the rooms are clean, the pool is astonishing, free buf...

Thank you Boracay for the wonderful experience. Special shout out to Irish and staff of Boracay Haven Resort for the excellent customer service. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable and taken care of. We felt loved and met new friends along the way. Thank you for the superb complimentary breakfast buffet, snacks in the afternoon, being...
Cheap places to stay in Boracay Island

Very nice place, the room was conforming to the photos, the bathroom is shared but they have 3 for 8 rooms, and they are always clean, one of the bathroom has hot shower not expected for the price and not common in Philippines. The staff is always nice they always satisfied our request whit a smile. The best place quality/price.

It was my first day in Boracay and by the time I reached there it's already late. Basically I just needed a place to sleep. Upon arrival I was confused because I didn't know where to check in. It's actually located beside the restaurant cashier, in a quite empty room. Sometimes there is no people in it, just go to restaurant cashier and ask. The hotel room was old.....

This hostel is for groups who want to save money on their accomdation or even solo backpacker like me! I never felt alone during my stay here. Cheap but above expectations. It's quite a walk from the beach but it's really accessible and they have provisioned lockers so you can bring your own padlocks to secure your belongings. Staff are friendly and even the owners wi...

I stayed for 3 weeks there. The hostel is the best I have been in Philippines. Dorm with good aircon, good wifi. They clean the dorms every day!!! Staff super cool and friendly. The owner Darcy is there everyday and he and his wife are owesome! Is on Bulabog beach, so it is quiet and no noisy like white beach, but you can go to White beach in 10 minutes walking. ...

This is definitely the best backpackers hotel in Boracay. When I arrived, all the requests I had written through Agoda were noted and done, they even had my name printed on and placed on my desired bunk. The restrooms are clean, the staff are friendly (kudos to the FO Carol), the sheets smell good and are new. And though the wifi signal couldnt reach my room, wifi sign...

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The balcony was decorated with bamboo chairs and table. I wanted to cook the rice and then the staff just cooked for me and made it into three really cute cup shape. They also provide hot shower, toiletry and towel. The best I’ve ever stayed

If anybody I know is going to visit Boracay Island, the first place I'll recommend will be The Lazy Dog! Everything about this secluded, quiet and fascinating B&B made our entire trip. We travelled in a group of 5 and from the minute we checked in to the minute we left, the staff couldn't be more accommodating. They were exceptionally friendly and did everything the...

Before arriving at Boarding House, I had stayed at a horrible beach front hotel in Boracay, which was so bad, that I was only looking for one exra night before leaving the island for good. This view changed almost immediately once I came to this hotel, as I was welcomed by the most friendly people who did everything and more to make their guests feel at home. And they ...

The place is located in a quiet area close to the beach at walking distance. A nice rooftop is on the top where you could get a complet breakfast (egg, bread, butter/jam, fresh fruits, juice, tea/coffee..) and could also chill on the sofa day and night. It is also very clean, and a laundry service is next door if needed. Wifi is also good. Moreover, the family running...

My stay at Second Wind BBB was awesome !! It is perfect for backpack travelers who spend most of the time in the sun and under the stars. Second Wind has that feel of being at home where the kitchen is accessible, beds are comfy, rooms are cooled even on the hottest days, walking distance to 2 beaches (White Beach and Bolabog Beach), convenience stores and pharmacy nea...

I stayed in this hostel in beautiful Boracay Island for almost 2 weeks, and I was so glad I booked at Chillax Flashpackers Hostel. The designand layout of the terraced shipping containers creatively turned into hostel dormitory and private rooms on a hill's slope is very well-conceived. It is very near Diniwid Beach, which in turn is very close to the world-famous W...

Green Monkey Resort is situated in the heart of Boracay... Their very close to where the action is... Don't worry about the noise around that area because it's built with sound proofing... The air conditioning is state of the art... They have comfy beds as well... Which I didn't experience at the other hotel that we stayed in which is the Eco Village Convention Hotel.....

We booked 5 nights to start with at Blue Dawn, and then extended the stay for our whole visit to Boracay. It is a new hotel just 50 meters from the beach. The location is great in the more peaceful areas of Boracay. But if you walk for 10 minutes on the beach-road you get to the nice bars. The staff are amazing. They really make your visit very good. We got a free upgr...

This is an awesome place for solo travellers like me! So far, this is the most great dormitory type hostel I've been to. Who says you can't have your own space in a dorm type set up? Not on this place. They have some covers too along side the bed and at the end of the bed for privacy so you won't be disturbed by people walking and going to the bathroom. Place is s...

The stay was amazing. we never regret the fact that we chose staying at Bulabog beach instead of White beach, one of the perks is less crowded place compare to White beach area. We stay during the kitesurfing season(altough we dont surf), where the wind is very strong especially in the morning. We can see people kitesurfing and it is a very very spectecular view (if on...

We’ve stayed 5N6D and the place is nice and clean. It is very accessible to all. It is only a few 2-minute walk to the beach. What we’ve loved most is that D’mall and supermarket are just steps away from the hotel. It is super convenient for us because most of the time we cooked. Also the staff were friendly and accomodating. The only cons is that there are rotational ...

It is just one ride away from "Boracay Proper", 10 pesos to 20 pesos fare per head. It is convenient for travellers because it is near the port. We didn't find it hard to locate the inn because the locals were very friendly and the caretaker of the inn waited for us and personally assited us. Very friendly staff. The place was fully airconditioned and very clean. well-...

I was here last June 2016, and stayed for 4D3N. I was travelling alone that time. I stayed in a room with 8-beds and my roomates (from Austria and SoKor) were too friendly, we even became friends to Facebook and talk/chat a lot until now. This month (July2017), I travelled with my Sister as my Bday gift to her. We stayed for 3D2N and to my Surprise, they already have P...

Sobrang recommended ko tong place na to. Nung una palang feel ko sulit na bayad sa room, the only bad reviews i read about is ung kay ate kim. For me siguro na misinterpret lang sya. Mabait si ate kim, cguro may mga tao lang talaga na gusto ung service eh kala mo nasa five star hotel. For me okay na okay mga staff nila. Mababait po at magagalang sila. Advise lang pag ...

I was in stressful, exhausted like other young guys starting out in a career. Then I ran away from jobs and duties and clients' phone calls. And I stayed at Danaru Guest House for the first day of travel, I met some people healed me in various ways. Actually, I never informed about this place before I visit. But at the next day, I canceled other hotel bookings and ext...

We were able to book a room for two here thru a flash deal so it's kind'a jackpot for us and really has a value for money. Located in Station 1, i supposed lakbayan hotel is the cheapest hotel in the area. We actually stayed there for five days! :) Pros: Station 1, just five minutes (or less) walk from the beach, quiet, clean room, helpful staff (we asked them if we...

Cheapest hotel available. Facilities are new. Not sure if Budget Room Boracay Island Hostel is different from MidTown Hotel but the room we booked here in Agoda is with Boracay Island Hostel and when we arrived, we stayed in MidTown Hotel. The place is pretty new. Wifi access is good. Airconditioning is great and they have shower heater which is also great. I sug...

** The staff were so accommodating and is always willing to help esp. if it's you're first timer. Just ask and they will answer ~ with suggestion and recommendations :) ** The way going to the hotel might be muddy if raining but "hello" - some of the areas in Boracay usually floods when raining and you cannot avoid this kind of situation so please manage your expectati...

Casa D' Estrella Apartelle truly deserves a much higher rating. Hidden behind the imposing presence of a huge 4-star hotel in the heart of Boracay Station 2, this apartelle is by no means lacking in value or significance. It definitely excels in the quality of its service, affordability and hospitality. Our family of 6 stayed here for only a night but all of us left t...

pros: -clean room -3mins walk from the beach -accomodating staff -spacious (large beds) -you can do your laundry outside -near to restaurants -quiet place - I will pick & book here again if I will go back to boracay... cons: -wifi slow -no cabinet inside the room -w/ mosquitos but tolerable as it is a tropical country -no signage on the street -narrow path going to th...

Roger's place is a sanctuary, far from the crowd of Boracay but close enough to enjoy the White Beach. If you're adventurous I would recommend this place, you can experience being a "back rider" of a motorcycle, see the beautiful hills of Boracay, or just relax at their rooftop. Staff (Roger and Dietmar) are very friendly, very accommodating, making sure that their gue...

I got very very sick on my stay and the manager himself find a way for me and my mother to cross the island to buy the my meds and till i got relieve. He was with us all the way from boracay island to caticlan. Their hotel 1is spacious and close by the beach.

this is the boracay resort as it should be. nothing too fancy, but not lacking in anything. just right. simply... perfect. i stayed here twice last year – once in the summer and another time in the monsoon season. i can still very vividly recall having an ideal boracay stay on both occasions just how one would imagine to be in an island beach paradise. boracay is...

Complimentary breakfast and daily yoga truly relaxed my body and soul. Staff are attentive and friendly. Excellent signature massage but my first choice was not available. Free internet access but unstable and weak. Easy access to the beach and restaurants. Pity that the villa didn't provide room service, instead we were transferred to restaurants for food delivery. Ov...

this was the second time we stayed in this hotel the first time was during may 2011 and we liked the accommodation that's why we decided to stay here again, this time with our kids. the kids loved the room especially the big beds and the bath tub. our room (loft type) has two flat screen televisions so you can still watch your favorite tv show while your kids are wa...

Really a good deal for your money with daily breakfast included, even better than the breakfast buffets we had on numerous occasions in Hawaii. Everything at the hotel is in excellent shape. My son loves the beach in front of the hotel and also the hotel’s swimming pool. The staff is so nice and extremely helpful, especially Ferdy the food and drinks manager and Rene t...

For many hotels people say that staff is excellent, but we have traveled the world and the most pleasant, helpful and kind staff is for sure in Haven Suites, Boracay. They really make you feel special and are really helpful, supportive and caring. They are hard working and really interested to assist you whenever needed. The hotel is very clean. Rooms are spacious, as ...

This is not a big hotel, however i am very satisfied with whole service in Mandarin Island Hotel in Boracay. Friendly staffs and great location and very delicius food, etc. I would love to visit in Mandarin Island Hotel again if I have a plan to go to Boracay. This is really great time with this hotel. I really appreciate to all front desk staffs with very kind and ...

Overall, I would say that our stay with the Best Western Tropics Resort at Boracay Island is absolutely fantastic ! Better than I expected. Upon arrival we we're welcomed by their friendly staffs at the reception, was given a welcome drink and was made to really feel like we are very much at home. The beach is not that far away from where our hotel is. Everything seems...

It's a very-new, modern, posh as you can say compared to other hotels in Boracay with great amenities like the lounge, pool and gym. It's very clean and you really feel luxurious during your stay. Breakfast buffet is good. Staff's are over the top with their service to make sure you have a very memorable stay. Only downside really is the location, as it is on the main ...

It was an awesome resort hotel to stay in. Because I visited Boracay from Aug 20 to 23 during its rainy season in Philippines, the location of the hotel was better than the ones on the White Beach because the Bulabog beach had low waves and less winds. Also parasailing activities and scuba diving and etc. were all done on Bulabog beach that it was more helpful. The hot...

Absolutely fantastic property with little to say but WOW. The staff couldn't be more helpful, especially Wes, the manager and Jon the driver who accompanied me to the seafood market and bargained local prices and even took the girls into town late Saturday night and ensured they came back safely in the early hours. I can't wait to stay here again.

It was an excellent choice to book and stay at Karuna. Everything are worth it. Their excellent service will transpire in all ways. An absolute perfect staycation moment. I will cherish all the memories we had at Karuna. Thank you Claire, Mar John and to the whole team for bringing out the Best of your Karuna service. see you soon.

Great stay at Villa Caemilla in Boracay. We choose this hotel due to the fact that it's on Boracay station 3 which is more quiet than the first two stations. The beach is stunning as we imagined it and the rooms were spotless clean. Outstanding was the performance of the staff when we left the hotel. There was a property fire on the island so everything was a bit hecti...

It is located in Barangay Yapak, at south-east of Boracay Island (10 to 15 minutes tricycle ride from Station 1, 2 and 3). It is for those who want a peaceful holiday. Access to two gorgeous beaches. One is Punta Bunga Beach (5 minutes walk from the hotel)- it is a private beach shared by few resorts like Shangrila and Argonauta. Going there is easy because it's down t...

Thank you Savoy Boracay! My family and I had such an exceptional stay in Savoy Boracay. Everyone was so accomodating, friendly, warm, and always had a sincere smile on their faces.

Our flight from Manila via Air Phil was delayed by more than 4 hours. So, it was already past 5:00p.m. and have to be diverted to Kalibo airport. Travel another 1-1/2 hr. by land to Caticlan jetty port. We arrived the resort almost 9;00p.m. But, the staffs were at the lobby welcoming us with cold towels and welcome drinks. The check-in procedure was swift and we were g...

I must give 2 thumbs up for their hotel transfer service, journey from Kalibo airport to Boracay island is full of twists and turns, but they manage to keep track of everything and provide a smooth transfer from land to sea to land, it's highly recommended. It was a surprise for us at the moment we found out the shuttle bus to pick us up is from a 5 stars hotel, turns ...

The hotel manager Glenn is great and was always around to make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommended for honeymoon or any visit in the island, we enj...

This is THE best hotel in Boracay and the most expensive one, I believe. The staff service is superb and if you move out from this hotel to just any other in boracay, you will wish you hadn't. The resort is a huge project quietly located on the north west corner of the Boracay island down the hill valley and privacy is what this is all about. Therefore the water is cle...

We split our stay on Boracay between another establishment on station 2 and this one in order to experience both sides of the island. Station zero, as they have coined it, is a great place to stay unwind and relax after the hustle and bustle of station 2. They do have shuttles back and forth every hour and a half but we didn’t move from the hotel’s private beach for th...

I've stayed in so much hotels here and abroad and this is by far the best we have been to. The service was exceptional! As soon as I booked, I got an email asking for our flight details and guests.

All the staff and crew were polite and friendly, the rooms are new and always clean, the food is also very good (no need to go outside of the resort!), the beach bar has amazing music and cocktails, the chocolate hour was a nice surprise (we liked t...

Astoria is hands down one of the best beach front hotels in that area of Boracay. It is not cheap but not too expensive as well, I guess that's why all the rooms are booked days ahead. Rooms are great, spacious and I would suggest you get a pool access one as you would really enjoy that. The pool is great and has some beach beds half submerged in the shallow area as we...

It was a comfortable stay! The area is quiet, minutes away from the beachfront, we also cooked in here. The beds are soft and I had good night sleeps. However, the wifi they're using is a mobile wifi only and was not working on our first whole day. I had to make follow-ups. The beach towels are thin and short, so I suggest you bring your own na lang. Globe cellphone si...

Real reviews for hotels
Boracay Island especially in the station 2 and 3 should be cleaned. If govt cant clean the area and the beaches there, establishments should assign paid people to clean the beach area.
Paradise on earth. This is a place where you can find only the powdered white sand beach in the world from the 35 countries I have travelled.
I've been 4 times in Boracay, but this one was the last. It's now too busy and invaded by asian groups ; the main road is crowded and white beach comes to green beach, because of green seagrass.
What's nice about Boracay is it doesn't matter where your accommodations are located, you can explore its many beaches and attractions either by foot or taking a tricycle/van.
If you are looking for a nice quite and remote bounty island, then Boracay is NOT it. In the last 10 years a ton of hotels has been bouild and the island is getting hugely crowded with turists.
very nice place, excellent beaches, food is good, people are nice and friendly, very relaxing, if you want night life they have it.
One thing we noticed in Baracay and other places in general in the Philippines was the lack of public toilets and garbage bins.
D'Mall was a great place to choose souvenir &food. Talipapa market also but not for the fresh seafood .
Most beautiful place I have found so far. Can get a little crowded on holidays but everyone is friendly and atmosphere is great.
this Island is fantastic, the beaches are great the nightlife is excellent and the locals couldn't be more friendlier
Beautiful beach in South East Asia. Must-see sunset. Paraw sailing is a good way to view sunset. D'Talipapa is a seafood haven.
The island is fabulous, is a pearl of the nature but the business is taking advantage too much of this beautiful island, hope they will not irreparably ruined.
Try Subo restaurant in station 2. They serve authentic and delicious Filipino dishes. They have a nice Filipino ambiance too.
Beautiful, but very busy. Sand is so fine and the sun sets are awesome. Something for everyone, but not typical for the Philippines.
White beach is beautiful,and the rest of the island is fun to wander around. There are lots of water sports, etc, that are resonably priced, but I would arrange through your hotel and not from the vendors or online.
Still a beautiful island on its shores and waters, but overcrowded and noisy once you leave the beaches - has become too much of a hot spot.
PLEASE DONT GO..!!!! sorry to say this cos in my opinion i think there are more islands are better than Boracay, the reason are: 1:took 4 hours from Malaysia to reach super lousy airport at Kalibo then took about 2 hours drive to reach jetty Boracay and took 10 mins by boat to reach Boracay island, EXHAUSTED!!!! i prefer go to island of Thaland.
We had a good time at Boracay. Food and activities are a little expensive but still affordable. I spent about 400 pesos or each meal and 3,800 pesos for parasailiing, diving and island hopping.
You only live once so you should visit Aerial's point and do cliff diving A quite painful journey to get into the Island from Kalibo Airport.
Beautiful beach, wide variety of water activities, friendly people, safe and wonderful shopping and night life.
Very crowded but manageable to walk and tour around. Like Korean people who come to visit and enjoy their vacation!
Stunning beach & scenery! There're so many development going on. Daily expenses is high compared to other beach resort like Phuket! Time consuming / energy sapping to get to the island from Kalibo Airport.
Third time at the Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel 2010, 2013, 2015, great place right at station 2, nice views of perfect beach, great band (The Makaya band), really nice staff and management, if you are going to Boracay this is the place to stay
For Family vacation, stay in Station 1. Station 2/3 is too crowded especially after sunset. Its totally different from 20 years ago, too commercialized n prices are same as Makati/Bonifacio.
While in Boracay check out a band that plays in front of the Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel (which is also a good place to stay) starting at 9:30PM the Makaya band plays a variety of music and can also sing in different languages.
nice place, if you get a chance go to the Mandarin Island Hotel, nice place to stay, at 9:30PM they have a great band called The Makaya band who play a variety of music and they can sing in different languages.
Its like back to the old vintage. It's a exactly that the people living in the city wouldn't seen. It's really a kampung/ village.
It's really awesome beach to relax. Nothing to think just lazy in the beach, with massage bear/romantic restaurant.
a bit overrated and expensive. lots of choice of restaurants. white beach is nice. and too much development already
we stay a week in Boracay, but we really feel that is not enough to us. we will come back again to visit this beautiful place.
