Budget Hotels in Station 1 Boracay

Boracay, a well-known tourist destination in the Philippines, is composed of a three-mile long white sandy beach area divided into three boat stations. Boat station one is in the northwest part of White Beach and home to some of the most expensive luxury hotels on the island. It is considered as the upscale part of Boracay with resorts that line up along the beachfront. Despite this reputation, there are still several budget accommodations within the area.
