Lock in a great price for Villa Caemilla Beach Boutique Hotel - rated 9.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

Do not know where to start but long story short everything was perfect. We were in Boracay for our Honeymoon. We were thousands of miles away from home however we felt so comfortable thanks to friendly atmosphere and staff. Also our stay in Boracay we mostly ate at hotel cause the food was first class and it was cheaper than even average restaurants. We highly recommend that hotel and we would like to go there again in the future. Jude and Kevin thanks for everything guys. See you next time.

Gulsah, Austria

Wesley and all the staff were amazing and the food and rooms were excellent

Johnahern, Australia

Great room, great service, really friendly staff and great location in station 3. Stunning views at sunset and not far to walk to D-mall and activities/bars/restaurants.

Neil, United Kingdom

The special dishes are really good and worth trying for sure. Super nice staff.

Rui, Portugal

We had a suite, this was excellent for our family. The Moscow Mules were also very good also!

Iain, United Arab Emirates

Very nice place, I would like to go back some day. Best location just on the beach, with a fantastic view over the see, quite and peaceful, friendly staff.

Frede, Denmark

Incredibly friendly staff! Very comfortable and clean. Beautiful beach view from the Executive Suite.

Lisa, United Arab Emirates

It was totally fantastic staying in Villa Caemila. The quiet and beautiful private beach, nice music and romantic night mood in the restaurant and fresh air in the morning beach... everything was so perfect! I especially want to appreciate the reception for all the caring and helping. we lost our u-sim chips at the moment of checking in, but finally, we got it back thanks to the helping of crews. I'm sorry for the closing of Boracay because this place would be my best one all over south-east Asia. It was such a wonderful and peaceful trip to the island. Send you love.

Yeseul, South Korea

Free drinking water. Friendly staff. Free shuttle but only for drop of, which forces to take a tricycle back home when you are in the north of the island.

Pascal, Germany

Everything was great. Staff and management approach are excellent.

눉There is not much i didn't like about this hotel. Perhaps in the standard room there is very little natural light and no area/terrace to hang clothes to dry. Bigger windows to leave in natural light in these rooms would add a lot.
눇Absolutely loved this hotel....especially how friendly and accomadating the staff were!the location is perfect as you have the calm and quite of station 3 but also not to far from station 2 if want something a bit more lively. We prefered station 3. The food was great and we ate in hotel 2 out of 5 nights and loved our meals. The hotel has a private area of white beach and you dine right on the beach with amazing live music as entertainment. Sunsets here are breathtaking. Top class hotel with top class service!great food and drinks menu also!will definitely be back and will defintely recommend to all my friends!
