The Nigi Nigi Too is the Boracay resort for you if you want a home-grown feel when you choose a Boracay hotel. Not having more than 20 rooms, this resort is one of the most homey in all of Station One Boracay.

The rooms are all decorated only in bamboo wood and a spectacular ocean view, making it one of the more simple hotels in Boracay. Nigi Nigi Too also boasts a beachfront bar and restaurant, as well as ocean view massages. Don't let all this simplicity fool you, though. There's more to Nigi Nigi Too than meets the eye.

All the rooms have their own modern European bathrooms, so you won't have to worry about doing it like the natives did. Nigi Nigi Too also has a currency exchange, a laundry service, wakeup service, internet access and room service. Nigi Nigi Too hotel and resort might be simple, but it's still a Boracay hotel on Station One, and that means luxury. Definitely a Boracay hotel to check out of you are looking for the simple joys of Boracay.

Hope you enjoyed my Boracay hotel review of The Nigi Nigi Too hotel and resort.

Pearl of the Pacific is one of my favorite Boracay resorts. The resort is one of the most relaxing on the island. It's obviously built for rest and relaxation. The resort is made up of several buildings, five, if I remember right. That should give you an idea about how wide open it is. No enclosed spaces here!

As far as Boracay hotels go, at least on Station 1, Peal of the Pacific doesn't lose out to any one. You get a fantastic garden and ocean view, scuba diving, massage and spa services, round the clock security, and a pool, and I'm a stickler for pools. Besides that, they also have a fantastic beachfront restaurant and seafood grill and bar. And who doesn't want to have a drink by the ocean shore? One of the best things in the world. Every Boracay hotel ought to have those!

Pearl of the Pacific has two kinds of rooms. The first is the Deluxe rooms. Now these rooms are great, but what you REALLY want to go for are the Maharlika Suites. These rooms will show you what luxury is. If you're looking for a Boracay hotel or resort that is just build for relaxation, the Pearl of the Pacific Boracay Resort and Spa is the place for you.

Two Seasons Boracay Hotel Review

2008-11-02T22:13:00.000-08:00

Built in 2005, Two Seasons resort has prime beachfront location on Station 1. This is always good because in the world of Boracay hotels and resorts, being on Station 1 pretty much says you are high-end and high-class. The Two Seasons certainly lives up to this reputation.

Two Seasons has its own swimming pool, which I always look for in a Boracay hotel. I mean, the beach is great, but you sometimes you just want a break from the ocean. The Two Seasons hotel has a wide range of rooms, from Deluxe room units to Family Suites. All rooms are fully equipped and furnished for comfort. Each room has the basics, from airconditioning to Cable TV, even WiFi. Truly everything one needs to fully enjoy the Boracay experience.

Definitely worth checking out. I've never been to the Two Seasons, but I've heard nothing but good reviews for it. Definitely a Boracay hotel I'll try out.

Hope you enjoyed my Boracay hotel review of The Two Seasons hotel.

2008-08-27T03:18:00.000-07:00

I'm sure everyone has heard of Friday's Boracay. Friday's Boracay is in the top 5 resorts in Boracay. The place is just pure class and luxury. Of course, the price tag reflects that, but it's totally worth the money.

Friday's Boracay is located at the north end of the white beach strip. This particular Boracay hotel is AAA accredited, and you can see that right off the bat. They welcome you with a lei of shells and some juice upon arrival. You immediately get the feeling that you're going to be pampered your entire stay.

There are 40 cottage-style hotel rooms. Each room is decorated in simple, native style, which is elegant, but also cozy. You'll also find that each room has air-conditioning, hot and cold water, DVD, cable TV, and telephone. There's also a mini-bar, electronic safe, a native hammock, a private veranda, bathrobes, and abaca slippers.

For those looking for the Boracay bar experience, you don't have to go too far. Friday's Boracay has an extensive collection of wines and alcohol for your pleasure. Hungry? The beach front restaurant serves international, Filipino, Asian, and Fusion cuisine, complete with acoustic guitar performers.

Truly a luxurious Boracay hotel for those looking for a luxurious, relaxing vacation in Boracay. Definitely worth visiting.

Boracay Hotel Review : Waling Waling Beach Hotel

2008-08-26T02:47:00.000-07:00

I haven't been to Waling-Waling Beach Hotel, but I've heard a lot of really good things about it. For some background, it's basically a family-run resort, with everything else being run by former managers with 5-star hotel experience. According to my friend, it's the one Boracay hotel that feels like home and a 5-star hotel at the same time.

Waling-Waling is located at Station 1, where most of the expensive resorts are. It's pretty pricey, but supposedly worth it. The hotel is decorated Mediterranean style, and staffed by former 5-star hotel employees, both local and abroad. You truly get your money's worth.

Of course, Boracay hotels always offer you different kinds of rooms for you needs and Waling Waling is no different. You have your choice of the Premier Suite, the Deluxe room, or the standard room. All three types of rooms offer hot and cold water, safety deposit box services, air-conditioning, cable TV, a mini-bar, and telephone service.

Food shouldn't be a problem either. Waling-Waling Beach Hotel has its own restaurant, the San Mig restaurant. The place serves international cuisine, so you should be able to find something of your liking there. Anyway, check it out. Half of the Boracay experience depends on choosing the right Boracay hotel. Waling Walking seems like a pretty good choice.

Boracay Hotel Review : Boracay Regency

2008-08-26T02:25:00.000-07:00

Boracay Regency is one of my favorite Boracay hotels and for good reason. Boracay Regency is located in the middle of the white sand beach strip, and it's huge. It's got 195 air-conditioned rooms, all of them furnished with high quality, classy furniture. It's got a natural yet luxurious feel to it. Just because you're in Boracay, doesn't mean you have to be roughing it. As a testament to how good Boracay Regency is, it's the first Boracay hotel to receive a triple A rating from the Department of Tourism.

Besides the two swimming pools (yes, two!), the Regency also has the longest stretch of beach front among all other Boracay hotels. The facilities and amenities are also impressive. There's free WiFi, a gym, a convention center, and four restaurants.

Like most Boracay hotels, there are different rooms to choose from. From affordable standard rooms to amazingly luxurious royal suites, Boracay Regency has you covered.

From my last visit to the place, I'd say it's a pretty cool hotel to stay in if you're looking for real beach front luxury. The staff is friendly, the facilities and amenities work fine, the rooms are clean; there's nothing to want for.

Hope you all enjoyed my Boracay hotel review of Boracay Regency.

Boracay Hotel Review : Boracay Terraces

2008-08-26T01:53:00.000-07:00

As far as Boracay hotels go, Boracay Terraces is pretty good. The hotel is at the north part of the strip of white sand beach. They've got three types of rooms, and all of them have hot and cold water, air conditioning, colored TV, a stereo system, and a telephone. Also, the every room has its own terrace. You know, that's why they call it the Boracay terraces.

There are 6 family rooms, which are basically two adjoining rooms. These can hold a maximum of 6 people in. They also have 5 twin rooms, which as the name implies, are great for twin sharing. Last but not the least, there are 4 double rooms, which each have a Queen bed. Perfect for couples.

Boracay Terraces also has a great restaurant, the Taj Resto. You have your choice of whatever is freshly caught that day, from lobsters to crabs to fish. If you want to relax, then Duyan spa's just right for you. They offer foot spas, shiatsu massages. Thai massages, Swedish massages, you name it.

Hope you all enjoyed my Boracay hotel review of Boracay Terraces.
