You’ll forgive the rather uninspired title I’m sure, as this is a post of utility more than style. My friend Elmer and I always believed that any company that doesn’t have its own website in this day and age sounds shady. We’ve taken that philosophy to heart in wanderous, and applied it to resorts and hotels as well. The thought being that if a resort can’t bother to have a presence on the web in this day and age, with your rates published and pictures of your rooms and amenities, then we won’t feel comfortable staying there. Having a listing on a hotel/resort aggregator counts, but we’re really more comfortable with a resort that has its own website.
Since Boracay is the undisputed number one beach destination this sumer, I thought we’d kick it off with resorts there and follow up with other destinations like bohol and samal in the near future. So without further ado, here’s a short list of boracay resorts with their own websites:
Budget resorts:
Dave’s Straw Hat Inn (Never actually stayed here but I was emailing with them before and they seemed very nice and accommodating. We ultimately spent the vacation elsewhere because my friend knew someone who knew someone who owned a place)
Beachfront resorts
Jony’s Beach Resort (contributed by cathy)
La Carmela de Boracay (stayed here for a company outing. It’s a decent and relatively affordable beachfront hotel that’s got some good package deals for big groups)
i love hey jude. the bar. as for hotels in bora, i prefer something nice, quiet, and within the budget, like jony’s, which is not on the list, but is actually a good place to recommend
if i’m not mistaken their website is http://www.jonysboracay.com

Thanks for dropping by and pointing out Jony’s. I’m gonna add it to the list and eventually come up with a definitive list of boracay resorts!

Well I can’t take any credit for it, I just got it off google images. So kudos to the guy or gal who took that shot.

Do you think 3 wks is too long of a stay for Boracy Island?
