Waling Waling Beach Hotel: Cabanas and Hammocks Waling Waling Beach Resort Review

Waling-waling is an orchid found in the Philippines and is the name of the hotel in Boracay. I didn't stay in this hotel but found the hammocks in their cabanas by the beach very inviting! Let me add that they have an open-air bar/restaurant with torches lighting it up on a starry night, perfect for group of friends dancing the night away!

Comparison: more expensive than average

Directions: Station 1 - in between Willy's and Pearl of the Pacific

Price: US$120-180

Patio Pacific: Not Beach Front but near Souvenir Shops Patio Pacific Boracay Review

If you want to be in Boracay but away from the noisy drunken crowd at night, you can try Pink Patio Pacific (formerly Pink Patio). It's not beach front but near souvenir shops along the road that runs parallel the beach.

What I distinctly remember about our room is that the bathroom opens up to a pocketgarden!

Unique Qualities: Swimming Pool, Restaurants, Conference Rooms, Fitness Center, Land/Boat Transfers from Kalibo or from Caticlan

Comparison: about average

Price: US$120-180

Pearl of the Pacific Resort and Spa: Tropical Villa Pearl of the Pacific Boracay Resort & Spa Review

If it's exclusivity you want, you can have it at this resort since it's in the farther end of Station 1 (past Willy's Rock, Waling-Waling). Trike fare is P100 for 2 people.

Rooms and bathrooms are spacious with readily available hot water for your shower. Wicker chairs adorn the living room.

Pls. check if the A/C is working properly as we had to haul our baggage to another room just as when we were about to retire for the night.

Unique Qualities: Spa (fronting the beach)
Swimming pool (at the center of the hillside villas)
Balconies in the hillside villas look out to the sea
Spacious and airy restaurant with high-ceiling
Bridgeway connects the ocean view rooms to the hillside view rooms so you need not cross the street. 3 flights of stairs leading to the hillside villas can be really tiring (cicadas and bullfrogs will greet you at night) so upgrade and go for the oceanview room or what they call the Maharlika Room.

Comparison: more expensive than average

Directions: Station 1

Price: US$120-180
