Great beach front property with decent WiFi. Literally a few steps away from the White Beach. Friendly staff too!

It’s a few minutes away walking to the front area of the beach, morning or early evening walk is convenient. The room is clean and the staff is nice and helpful.

Attentive staff was the advantage of this hotel. Security was also good as they watched over our items while we went out for a swim.

Close to the beach in a great location
hotel and staff very friendly. great location in station 1 and close to the sea. Rooms are basic but clean. Well priced for the location. Breakfast buffet was good. great beach front with plenty of shade under a load of palm trees, and beach massages available too for 600 peso. bargain

Good location if you prefer the quieter end of Borocay. Tasty hot & cold buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. Always attentive service from the hotel staff - due to a dodgy aircon unit they swapped our room straight away. Very clean rooms & spacious shower room. Hotel has an outdoor beachfront too & convenient for sunbathing. Please be aware though re charges for henna stains on the linen (there is a notice in the rooms about this) and to keep the linen clean (!) We were charged a ridiculous amount for what was obviously non henna stains (small make up stain & minor dirt marks) - the staff will not differentiate - very frustrating & put a dampener on the end of our stay there.

The stay was very comfortable; location was great; beachfront. Bathroom did not drain well (this is the only negative about the place). Food - good not great and occasional fruit flies lingering so I only ate the covered food not the fruits. I will definitely stay in this hotel again if there is a chance to come back; price is reasonable. Staff are so friendly and helpful and this alone is worth the return stay, if ever.

Oasis in Busy Boracay
The Residencia Boracay was everything I was hoping for based on reviews I had read prior to going there. It is located at a quieter end of the beach in station 1 (about a 20 min walk along the beach or short tricycle ride to the center of station 2). It is nestled between to larger more upscale resorts, but you can not beat the beach front setup at this hotel - due to it being smaller it is never a problem to find a lounger to relax on and it seems the beach is the nicest and quietest here - hardly any vendors bothering you. Another bonus is the beach towels provided by the hotel. The hotel staff are all exceptional doing everything they can to go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. They assisted us to find a room to better meet our needs traveling with our 8 month old daughter and made the move from one room to another so easy! The included breakfast is wonderful with a large variety of items to choose from and the onsite restaurant is great for snacks, drinks, and room service if needed. I wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else the next time I return to Boracay - you cannot beat the value, location, and service at Residencia Boracay.

Perfect location with kind staffs
There is the white beach just in front of the hotel.It is a perfect location to enjoy swimming, take a rest, read a book, and talk with my friend on the beach. The staffs are mostly kind and friendly like my friends. Furthermore, it is cosy and peaceful place to stay due to its location between Diniwid beach and Station 1 with no loud music at night compared to other locations. Highly recommend!

Great location just bad weather
The hotel is okay. Rooms are okay with clean, comfy beds and pillows. Just getting old I guess. Some outside hammock should be change or updated too I think. Overall short 2 days stay is good. Best is that its not very crowded as there 4 other guests who stayed as well. Great time to relax and unwind.

CRAPPY HOTEL!!!!
DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!!! We got the Superior Room and it was absolutely crappy!!! A waste of money and ruined our vacatIon. The room looked simple and ok. But it is beside the other hotel's wood fire chimney so smoke filled in our room and the whole resort, smelling like charcoal & hurting our lungs!!! The bathroom is old, cheap tiles, dirty grout & smelled like the septic tank the entire time!!! The bathroom picture is not posted in expedia so it is very decieving!!! The superior rooms are also beside the breakfast area which were noisy as early as 6am!!! Guests were also playing personal loud music & staff did not do anything about it even if we complained!!! Rooms were also not cleaned everyday, we had to request towels and trash to be changed since it was not automatic. Lastly, staff & security guards were not very helpful. They even noisily chatted with local vendors passing by and sat on the beach beds with the vendors, which ruined the entire vacation experience!!! A very crappy hotel!!!!

Great location but everything else standard
Very standard hotel, with standard beds, bathroom and poor wifi (didn't work in our room). Breakfast is standard. Air conditioning works well and can be left on while you are out of the room. Convenient extra room to wash your sandy feet. Perfect location.

basic hotel with good location
if you want a no-frill hotel with basic facilities and good location, this is a good choice. the room is very minimum, no coffee making facility, very simple deco (or no deco at all). No bottle water and the staff did not tell us where to get drinking water in the hotel, we have to go out and buy our own drinking water. if you need to get connected to the internet 24/7, choose other places. Internet connection in our room is hopeless, most of the time it cant get connected to the WIFI. If it does, 50% of the time it cannot connect to the internet.

Private. Affordable. Best spot on White Beach
Residencia Boracay is tucked between the big hotels of the luxurious spot on white beach Boracay. It is a relatively small hotel but it can deliver more of what you can expect. It has the balance of green and modern Boracay. It has its own charm. BEACH: It has the one of the widest and whitest beach in the sland where you can get a good tan.It has a good beachfront lounging area- your privacy is secured while enjoying the beach under the shades of coconut trees. The water in front of the hotel is gradually sloping, and is very ideal for swimming. Beach beds are enough for the hotel guests. Beach towels are available upon request. The beach is just a few steps away from your door. ROOMS: The rooms are basic but spacious and clean. Beds are comfortable. Linens are clean and crisp. Flat TV, open cabinet, and a small fridge are available. A/Cs are available and reliable. Electric sockets are also provided. Hair dryers may be provided upon request.It may be better if complimentary water and flat irons are provided. BATHROOMS: The bathrooms are clean and spacious. Hot shower is provided. Water supply is plenty. Complimentary soap and shampoo is provided.Towels are available. It will be better if dental kits are provided. BReAKFAST: In house bar or restaurant is not available. But they offer a small variety of food and drinks choices. The quality of the food is just average but it is just to its price. STAFF and SERVICE: The staff were courteous, friendly and accomodating.

An Affordable hotel but elegant
This hotel is very peaceful, clean and yet far more affordable compared to other hotels in Station One. This Hotel is also right beside Ambassadors Hotel. Although No kitchen is available all the time with Residencia.
