Boracay Island Travel Forum

hi... this is gonna be my 1st post =). I have been looking for hotels/resorts in boracay, specifically in station 1. Below are the hotels that I have inquired about:

travel dates: june 02-04, for 2 persons

Boracay Plaza - 2100php per room (standard room)
Frendz Resort - 2000php per room (highest room available wid a/c)

any recommendations in where else can we stay for like 2000+ php budget?

factors that matter:

**clean and comfortable beds
**nice bathroom
**1-2 minutes away from beach
**accessibility to restaurants


help!

i might get FRENDZ.... any feedback?

Looks like you already have come and gone to Boracay, however, this might help some others travel here. For June & July it is the low or lean season in Boracay and you can get a beach front from for 2,000 to 3,000 pesos. Mito's place is nice, they have a room with a 32' LCD, Air Conditioning, Hot Water, and a large bathroom for 2,500 pesos and it's on the beach. There are a lot of hotels to choose from on station 1 ranging from 2,000 pesos up (to 15,000!).

Station 1 is pretty big and it ranges from the somewhat secluded places like Fridays and Waling Waling (due to thier prices well above 2,000 pesos!) to the hotel above. The high priced places are typically further away from shopping, restaurants and bars. Check a the hotel website to see the location, D-mall is a a good entertainment center with a lot to choose from. Station 1 starts just after D-mall, however it goes on for a few Kilometer (3km I think). If you want more action stay closer to D-mall, so you don't have a 15-20 minute hike to hang out at a bar besides the one at the hotel. If seclusion is what your looking for, the hgh priced places are your better option.

Frendz looked like more of a hostel to me, than a hotel. If I wanted to get the whole room with 5 beds it would be 2,000 (400 pesos per bed), as they sell bedspace and not rooms. But, I didn't need five beds and would rather be on the beach with one queen size bed. I don't know about Boracay Plaza as I haven't seen it and don't know where it is.

Hope you had a great time in Boracay, it's a buetiful and fun place!
