Great hotel!”

Very good hotel, with a nice design in a quiet area of Boracay. Staff smiles and is very helpful. We were in a One Bedroom Suite, on the first floor (the best) with a great view on the smimming pool. Room service works perfectly so we enjoyed a lot of time on our private terrace! The area is not central, but the Diniwid Beach is literaly 2 min walk from the hotel. You also can have a cocktail or eat on the beach, thanks to the "Boracay Terraces Hotel" which is located on the Diniwid beach. To go to the "city centre" or to the main White Beach area, you can walk along the beach (very nice, it takes more or less 20min) or you can take a local taxi (motorbike with side-car), near the Boracay Terraces, or up on the main road. If you take a taxi just for yourself (near the beach or on the main road) don't pay more than 80 pesos (price per taxi, not per person, to go to D'Mall)! If you take a collective taxi (hand up on the main road), you can pay maximum 20 pesos and it's more fun. (9 persons can fit in a taxi!). You just tell where you want to go. To go back to the hotel, ask for the Boracay Terraces if they don't know The Strand. And if you want to dive, go to Victory Divers. To summarize, we had a great time in this hotel, and we will defenetly go back!

Very relaxing ”

This hotel is 3-5 minutes from the beach on foot. But the garden around is superb, the pool is also very comfortable and beautiful.

The Strand Boracay Island”

This is the place to stay to be away from the crowds when you want to be. D mall is 100 piso's away by trike. A lot of locals live by the hotel, so go to the bodegas and buy a San Mig!!

Excellent”

quality, room, cleanliness, food, everything!!!

This is a great place, maybe even the best place to stay in the entire Philippines, I am not kidding. The staff/hotel workers are the nicest people you will meet. Its close enough to everything especially if you enjoy a nice walk on the beach to go to the heart of White beach business district like D Mall, etc etc.. Actually your better off not staying in that area because the street vendors are horrible and harass you to death. The Hotel is not right on the beach but its like 3 mins walk away. There is a trike area just as u reach the beach so if you dont feel like walking down to D Mall area etc etc, you can get a ride there for like 50 to 100 peso depending on where you go. The Hotel breakfast is really nice and dinner too. Dinner was very reasonable price and excellent quality. The room is nice and clean, airconditioner and ceiling fan froze me out. I had to put a/c unit on low most times. Anyway, anybody who wants to enjoy themselves on Boracay without all the hassles must stay here, its that simple.

Boracay Strand”

Facilities, staff/service, location, location, location.

As far the hotel and people, nothing. I just hope they can settle the land ownership with the government. Shame on you Philippine government!

Great location - away from the Mall/station 2 - but still very accessible to the beach - at the far end of station 1. Great place to relax after any activities. You can also do a little hike at the back and see a great ocean view. Breakfast is served anywhere you like - we had ours almost everyday by the pool - always delicious and w/ freshly brewed coffee and fruits! The staff were nice and very helpful. They even brought us by the pier at 4:30 am, gratis, to catch our ferry for Catiklan. The pool is a welcome respite from the beach. If ever I go back to Boracay, will not hesitate staying here again.

Strand is best”

nice quiet area of Boracay

Again I'm here at the Strand, I been here many times. Me and my wife are the only people here. Still they make us feel like royalty. I don't understand why this place is not more busy. I been to Boracay 7 times for vacation. I'm not an expert, but This place, The Strand, for the money is the best place. They give you a free breakfast, and its not that buffet crap, its cooked to order for you. The rooms have working ceiling fan above the beds, the Airconditioners put out ice cold air, the room is spotless. You can eat off the floor here. The bathroom is the best, just as good as my house back in the states, well almost, I live in a 300,000 dollar home lol, but its close, the shower is great. Water pressure is excellent and plenty of continuous hot water. This hotel is only 4 mins walk to the white beach sand, you can see the beach from the hotel. The area is extremely safe. I dont even lock my room sometimes, its not needed. The people here , you can trust them with your life. Here is a tip to get a cheaper rate, book 3 days at a time on Agoda. That is a steal for this place. Oh and the pool here is superb, they soften the water with a salt based water softner. Excellent idea and after a nice swim you feel like a million dollars. If you dont stay here your a fool, sorry Im just being honest.

Boracay Strand is nice”

Swimming pool, clean room, comfortable bed, food, staff and location.

no cons at all

Ok so if you read the other reviews for this hotel you can see I stayed here many times before. Let me just say this. If I return to a place even 1 time, then you can bet your life its a good place. When it comes to sleeping and being safe I am not a cheapskate so you know Im not comming back here time after time because its cheap, however, the hotel is reasonably priced and well worth the rate. This is truly a excellent hotel/resort type place. You can actually stay here 24 hous a day and never leave or go to white beach and still be happy. The pool is so nice, the food here at the hotel is so good, the staff who work here are so nice and trustworthy. The room is always clean, nice towels, bed is really good, airconditioner is ice cold, ceiling fan above bed is great. The shower is excellent and roomy. Nice high water pressure and hot water. The hotel is located on the northern most part of white beach. Its nice here because not too many street/beach vendors doing too much makulit to you. If your going to Boracay and really want to enjoy yourself and be safe and have no worries, then choose the Strand. You wont regret it.
