"A Station 3 accomodation" Orchids Resort Tip by cHeLLe28

Orchids Resort, Boracay Island: 184 reviews and 12 photos

LOCATION :
This place is located 5-10 mins away from station3, more than 30mins away from the Dmall if your walking. It is not beach front and you have to walk in an "eskinita" to ge there. During night the white beach walk path in this area is very dark. Probably due to the fact that some part of the beach front location is still in the construction process of building other resorts. The beach area here is not that nice. Lots of pebbles. We had to walk towards station 2 before going swimming.

AMENITIES : Its pretty basic and rustic accomodation. The room was ok I guess. Water and electricity was working properly. Matress and pillowcase in bed is obviously old and the color is already faded. Bucket and pail are of good condition. We were disappointed with the provided towel. It has a large hole in it! and there were some stains that resembles the color of rust. We didn't use it. Another is that trash weren't emptied regularly. A resident cat made a mess of the trash bin outside our room.

VERDICT : Guess we made a mistake in staying here. Probably not the best to be here @ this time of the year (july). Because walking would consume a great deal of your time not to mention you'll be exhausted if you want to frequently visit station 1 and 2 area.

Unique Qualities: The only thing that I liked here is the cute native lamp with yellowish light bulb.

Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: More than 10mins south of boat station 3. If you see andoks your near the area.
Price: less than US$20
