You can also check my previous blogs about Boracay, promise this will help you in your vacation trip.

Very informative. Thank you!
ang galing mo talaga, James.
just sharing the discoveries and hoping that more will be encouraged to travel (even with less budget)
Thanks for the tips! Seems Boracay is overrun with high end resorts these days, had no idea there were places that are this cheap in the island! Will check out some of these the next time I visit Boracay.
Hi, Sir James.
This will surely help others with tight budget.
Galing mo talaga sa research in terms of budget travel!
Idol! 🙂
Keep inspiring others!
sipag at tiyaga lang, hahaha
practice lang din kasi nung nagstart ako magbackpacking mahal din mga nkikita ko na tulugan
kudos James ^_^.. thanks for inspiring the masa to travel
yep yep!
more masas to travel and enjoy the pinas
definitely bookmarked! 🙂
ayos!
Dami pang 500/night for two people na diyan sa station 3 malapit lapit ng konti sa white beach divers. but i love white beach divers kasi big room, may living room set up pa. cheap beer and fast wifi 😀
yep, i know maraming pang mura na di ko nakita.
thanks for the added info eileen, will surely be of help sa readers
Hey james, great blog! Got here from the solesisters site.
Orchids Resort in Boracay is also pretty cheap, around 800 last time I was there, fan room with a queen and a hot shower too. Instant coffee + hot water was also available round the clock, which was great for someone like me who’d wake up in the wee hours to watch the sunrise.
wow, nice info you have there!
thanks yols for the added accommodation. that means you dont party when you are in boracay coz you want to watch the sunrise. or maybe you party till sunrise? hahaha
Me too…I dont party…only shop at night…
Love to watch and take photos of Boracay sunrise…
Tnx nga pala for this page…wonderful!
WOW!!!!
this is perfect coz my friend is going to Boracay next week..
Dami palang murang hotel sa Boracay. try kong puntahan at tingnan for our second trip to boracay. thanks james.
yep, marami pa daw dyan st. 3
enjoy sir eddie!
I always stay at Crystal Ocean Resort, its conveniently located at station 2 near the police station. They have a fan room for 700php. I stayed there Feb 1-5, and I got a room good for 6-8 pax all to myself at 900php a night.

Salamat dito, James! Pupunta ako bukas and someone recommended yung Tree Top. Nag-search ako at blog mo lumabas hehe listing down other options na rin 😀 Very helpful, Amigo! 😀
ive been in boracay last march, and we stay in manoc-manoc , if not from your blogs, i would not have a chances to get the cheapest room in boracay.. my words is beyond my appreciation.. tnxs a lot and god bles!
great! glad you where able to see this post
thanks for the feedback jon
This is sooooo great! Thanks, James. Been reading your blog ever since I discovered it but it’s only now that I am able to comment. This is one of my favorite posts! I am planning to go to Boracay and I am budgeting so this is very helpful!
glad you find this helpful!
Thanks for sharing this post James! This is a great help for those who are planning and wanted to visit Boracay. Keep on posting!
Hi james! this is really nice. Think, my Boracay will be cheaply great like yours. By the way, I’ve booked a flight to Iloilo in the am of Dec. 8, 2012, I planned to tour a bit of the city proper and visit churches and head to Caticlan in approx. 3pm (or earlier as much as possible as I don’t think I’ll be able to have a grasp of Iloilo at day time), as I read other travel blogs, I believe it will take me 5-6hrs to get to Caticlan so most likely than not I’ll arrive at 9pm, will there still be a boat ride available for me (we’re a group of 3 actually)? can this be possible? boat ride at night? ever have an idea for their last trip? i tend to start our trip this way so as to allot the very little time we have for Boracay as our flight back home is in the am of December 10,2012.. it’s really tight schedule we have there and I’m really trying to squeeze and maximize it out. we all are 1st timers. anything to say? comment or suggest?
i believe there is still boat trip to boracay until 9:30pm
I have the same flight date and deparure. Planning to do exactly the same, whole day of Dec 8 to iloilo-guimaras then off to bora I go. Baka magkita tayo! Haha
Great blog, though i must say some info is lacking, because these rates differ during low, semi-peak, and high peak season. 🙂
how much is the average budget to boracay??? let’s say 3nights 4days??
Informative indeed. Just got home from my trip. Thanks!
James good job napakainformative nitong blog mo…very helpful sa mga taong tulad ko na mahilig gumala pero maliit lang ang budget….
thanks for the feedback, i want to update the infos here but i dont want to go back to boracay na. please feel free to add info if you have new ones.
this is shocking! I didn’t know na may cheaper accomodations sa boracay. Iniisip ko kasi when you say “Boracay” mostly thousands per night ang aabutin, pero di pala.
Haven’t been to Boracay, pero me and my sister are planning to go travel. Salamat sa post mo!
So, etong mga rooms na ito, malapit lang sa open (public) beach?
yes
U got it dear. The reason why is they (owners and operators) don’t make advertisements on cheap alternatives. Only blogs and threads like this do it. Boracay has been associated to Expensive Travels for a long time. And worse is, the tourism dept doesnt know that Boracay has been exploited by few capitalists making profit with their “controlled” rates to lure Foreign tourists esp. So we need to break this bad habit!
Your posts did help me a lot, because I am planning a trip there soon. I would just like to ask if magkano yung ferry from caticlan port to boracay. Also, yung van from Kalibo to Caticlan. Hope you have answers to these queries. 😀
James we will be in boracay feb 01,2013,havent been to boracay,what is the best station that we can party and have fun? Thank You:)
stations 1 and 2. try EPIC, summer place.
Hi James. Thanks for the info on the cheapest Boracay Accommodation. I will visit Boracay soon on Feb. 2-4, 2013 at least 2 nights with my husband.
hi james, can you also recommend cheap beachfront hotels/lodge in station 1 and 2? thanks!
hi james can you give me numbers were i can call for a van/ jeep from kalibo to caticlan. we will be going on march 1-3 this eyar to bora. thnx
wow, great blog. We will be in boracay this coming April and your post is really helpful. I’m stuck for weeks looking for cheap guesthouse luckily, found your blog. Enjoy your travel, and continue posting!!!
may updated cheap rates ng mga rooms this summer? papunta kaming bora this week.. tnx
Dear readers, in case you see LA OVIEDO BORACAY advertisement.It was a hell and horrible hotel to stay.Akala ko 5 minutes walk lang papuntang beachfront as per their ads..Putik dapat pala malaki ang hakbang mo.Another thing.masyadong liblib at pag uuwi ka ng mga 2am, ang dilim ng kalsada nila.Much worst, na chambahan kami ng brownout during our stay.Bale 8 hours lang naman kaming naghintay para mag kakuryente uli..Too bad wala silang GENERATOR…worst experience ever.Thumbs down to the HOTEL but THUMBS UP sa mga STAFF..
this is a wealth of info. i really wish it comes with pictures of the room to help us decide but nevertheless it’s a great post for budget travelers! and i believe by August it’s not as crowded so we can go Boracay without prior booking.
Might as well include the cheapest route going to the place. I found out airfares are quite expensive! It’s much cheaper going to phuket from manila by plane on a roundtrip! The govt must make more infra projects to make boracay more accessible. There are 2go travels from batangas but too long to deal and kills the excitement. Or maybe we need a lifetime to experience that breeze going to boracay. But good job james!
Hello
Kirkland House is one of the best place for outdoor stay, The bed and breakfast brisbane kirkland house B&B are very stylish and beautiful location throughout the accommodation.

Great informative blog, thx for sharing…
This is very informative. I’m looking for a cheap Boracay packages and hotel accommodations, then I find this blog. Thank you so much James. Cheers!
Great Post Buddy! Really helpful. My friends and I really look for a cozy and relaxing place to stay yet affordable and we found The Orient Beach Boracay, it was peaceful that we really had a great time of staying 🙂 it was affordable with complete amenities like a 5Star Hotel, it was Newly Opened Hotel, everything was new. We are also fascinated by their small electronic machine outside their room where you can manage if you don’t want to be disturb. Amazing! It was 5 mins ride to D’mall, and from the world famous white Beach, its not hassle anyway because they have a free shuttle Service going to D’mall. You can find great deals in many sites. Plus they serve really great Breakfast and oh, complimentary coffee was available at your room. And the amazing sunset view from the veranda was really breath taking! Awesome! Staffs are really accommodating and very friendly 🙂 We really had a great stay! Cant wait for our next visit in Boracay 🙂
Hei James.. Thanks for that info. i would like to ask if i can post your site to my facebook account so we can help better, i am working here in Boracay as a media…Thank You…
Wow! Great Post. Really informative 🙂 I also enjoy my vacation in Boracay and its almost the same price.. Less expensive.. But the difference is just the room accommodation. I really look for a relaxing and peaceful place and there I find The Orient Beach Boracay, its affordable, 5 mins ride to D’mall, its not hassle anyway because they have a free shuttle Service going to D’mall. It was also a Newly Opened Hotel, you can find great deals in many sites. Plus they serve really great Breakfast. it was also closer to the famous Puka Beach, Balinghai Beach and Ilig’Iligan Beach 🙂 You just need to be familiar with the affordable prices in Boracay,
It’s really very complicated in this full of activity life to listen news on Television, therefore I just use world wide web for that purpose, and obtain the newest news.
