True Homes Hotel: True Homes True Home Hotel, Boracay Review

I was a little disappointed when I first saw that the entrance of the hotel was along the main road and not at the beach. We were booked at the 2nd floor (Room #6 was a Superior/Standard room) although I've specifically requested for a ground floor room as I was travelling with my mother. Staff was great, the receptionist was very friendly, the bar staff was very accomodating - the guys setup their beach umbrella for me while I was reading by the beach at high noon. Would definitely recommend this place but suggest in getting the deluxe beachfront rooms - around 10% higher rate than the standard/superior room. Discounts for guest at their sister restaurants: True Food (Indian), Mongkok (Chinese), Aria (Italian) and Cafe del Sol (deserts)

Unique Qualities: They have 2 deluxe beach front rooms, opening the door would lead right to their open bar by the beach (photo 2). Also have 2 standard rooms on the ground floor, located at the small street leading to the Main Road. Junior suite and a couple of standard room at the 2nd floor and the presidential suite at the 3rd flr. Suites have their own private veranda overlooking the beach however, entrance is at the main road (photo 1)

Address: Boat Station 1, Boracay Island

Comparison: less expensive than average

Directions: Located along the Main Road, area near Boat Station 1. Near Cocomangas Resort/Bar and Jony's Beach Resort.

The lower beach house has it's own dining tables, ref (not a mini one), cooking stove, sink, bar and living area.

Outside the house, is the twin swings facing the pool and a couch (no pics - i forgot to take some)

White House Boracay: White House Boracay (2)

Their super deluxe room is housed in the 2nd building, on the 2nd floor - this gives you a balcony, but the view is that of the resort next door.

It has 2 beds, 1 double and 1 single. A tv with DVD player. Walk in closet and bathroom of course.

Unique Qualities: When we checked in, the staff has kindly put our bags in the walk in closet. Upon entering the room, we were greeted by the sweet scent of lemon grass and eucalyptus from their aromatherapy set on their side table.

White House Boracay: White House Boracay (1)

Stayed here for my Boracay trip with my cousin Mike. It was his first time and he clearly told me to book a resort at a quiet part of the beach, some place where he can bum around. He was the one who actually chose to stay here.

The rooms were great, and since it was off season, the very beautiful manager upgraded our rooms from Deluxe (2 single beds) to Super Deluxe (1 double bed and 1 single bed).

The only complaints I had was the mosquitos and even if i was under the comforter, i was still bitten. But this isn't about the hotel but with the weather when we got there I think..

Over all, I'd love to come back here and I recommend this as a mid-priced resort in Station 1.

Unique Qualities: There are several to this resort:
1. Cabanas - which was a big selling point for me. Even though we stayed there on an off season (July 2006), the front of the beach was boarded up.

2. Swimming Pool - the deepest part is about 4.5 feet, right under the mini water fall

3. Location - in the quiet area, north of Station 1. Very near the Seawind resort. The resort on their left is Sur Boracay, on their right is a private resort of the Brent International School

4. John the Barman - he tends the bar (Wetlands), very friendly, very helpful!

5. Amanda the Manager - she was very very accomodating :)
