The Boracay island counts over
200 resorts, hotels, cottages, bungalows and vacation houses.
Whether you’re a budget-conscious traveler or accustomed to luxury
and willing to pay for it, a full range of accommodation is
available. Choose from island-style nipa huts (bungalows made of
wood, bamboo and nipa-palm leaves), modern cottages with two rooms,
kitchens and huge verandas, and modern resorts and hotels with
high-tech amenities, business centers and gyms.
Most establishments have hot showers. On Boracay itself, there is no
central reservation or service center for island hotels, although
some information is available at the Department of Tourism (DOT)
office. Numerous guides, called “coordinators” will be waiting when
you arrive at either Caticlan Airport or Kalibo Airport. They will
try to persuade you to accompany them to a particular resort. You
may agree to join them if you don’t have a reservation for your
boracay island vacation. If it is not
too inconvenient, it is better to look for yourself by walking along
White Beach once you arrive on Boracay Island.
