Aside from travel arrangements, another usual concern when going to Boracay is where to stay during the entire vacation. You may want to stay for a few days on the island without the hassle of paying for expensive accommodations. Since there are many foreign tourists in Boracay, big investors have strategically placed resort hotels that are undoubtedly affordable for international guests. However, for locals like you, finding cheap accommodations may become the most pressing dilemma of your trip.
Some helpful tips
One of the best ways to get cheap accommodation in Boracay is to take advantage of the off-peak rates. Try to avoid booking resorts during the summer season or holidays as these are times when prices are usually higher.
The smartest way to do this is to plan ahead and set aside a specific date for your Boracay vacation. When making reservations, ask what resort rates you prefer off-peak. Better yet, visit their website for their price list. It would also be a good idea to compare prices to other resorts to see which one suits you better at a price you can afford.
It also helps if a local from Aklan or Boracay travels with you. Surprisingly, some resorts will offer discounts when you mention that you or your partner lives in the area. They usually don’t advertise this but some resorts have local rates they offer to residents of Boracay or Aklan. Sometimes, perks are given in the form of free products such as food and drinks, among other things.
Some budget hotels that you can try
Casa Camilla Boracay is one of the budget hotels that you can try in Boracay. Located right at Boat Station 3, Casa Camilla Boracay offers you convenient access to Boracay’s famous white sand beach.
Another popular choice is MR Holidays Hotel. MR Holidays has 13 rooms across its two-story accommodations, and it’s also close to the beach.
If you don’t mind having to walk before you get to the beach so you can save on accommodations, you might want to visit Fat Jimmy Resort. The resort is located near boat station 2. While it is a little further from the beach than the first two hotels mentioned, the Fat Jimmy has all the basic amenities that you will need during your stay.
Another low budget option is JMBS Cottages. Like Fat Jimmy, you’ll have to sacrifice to get a view of the white sand beach. JMBS Cottages has rooms that are either air-conditioned or fitted with electric fans, giving you the option to save even more.
Another recommended indoor resort is Freckles Resort and Bamboo Lounge. It is just a few minutes’ walk from Bulabog Beach.
