Because there are many foreign tourists in Boracay, big-time investors have strategically put up resort hotels with rates that are without doubt affordable to international guests. For locals like you however, finding cheap accommodations might become the most pressing dilemma of your trip.

Some Useful Tips

One of the best ways to get cheap accommodations in Boracay is take advantage of off-peak rates. Try to avoid booking at resorts during the summer season (March – May) or the holidays (December) because these are the months when prices are way too expensive.


Take advantage of off-peak rates

The smartest way to go about it is to plan ahead of time and set aside a specific date for your Boracay vacation. When you make reservations, inquire about your preferred resort’s off-peak rates. Better yet, visit their website to get their price list. It is also a good idea to compare the rates with other resorts’ to see which one suits you best at a price you can afford.

Local discounts

It also helps if you have an Aklan or Boracay local traveling with you. Some resorts will surprisingly give discounts upon mention that you or your companion lives in Boracay or even in other areas of Panay island like Capiz, Aklan, Antique and Iloilo. They usually do not advertise this but some resorts have local rates that they offer exclusively to residents of Boracay or Aklan. Sometimes they offer perks in the form of complimentary products such as food and drinks.

Boracay Budget Hotels

One of the most popular hotels for budget accommodation is Casa Camilla Boracay. Situated right at Angol, along station 3, Casa Camilla Boracay provides easy access to Boracay’s famous white sand beach. Another popular choice is MR Holidays Hotel. Boasting of 13 rooms in all and 2-story accommodation, MR Holidays is likewise a stone’s throw away from the beach.

If you don’t mind having to walk before you get to the beach so that you could save on accommodations, you might want to check out Fat Jimmy Resort. The resort is near boat station 2. While farther from the beach than the first two hotels mentioned, Fat Jimmy has all basic amenities you will need during your stay.
