Shuttle from the airport was flawless. Congratulations great job. Buffet breakfast had a good variety ànd friendly service. Great value for what you get. Shuttle service to D Mall couldn't be better. Please tip these employees, they really deserve it. The two swimming pools offered lots of lounge chairs and bar service. A bonus was viewing the kite surfing at the beach, good entertainment.

I stayed in a studio with balcony. The room was large and well equipped. The TV had several English speaking movie channels. WiFi good. A/c good. Back up generator for occasional power cuts. Hot water in shower with good pressure. Small kitchenette with hotplate allowed for cooking some nutritional meals. Location is minutes from Bulabog beach for kite surfing etc, and less than 10 mins walk to D Mall and white beach station2. Neighbourhood very quiet and safe. Staff were always friendly, as are the pet dogs. I extended my stay several times as it suited me perfectly. Bed was huge and very comfortable. Rooms cleaned and linens replaced upon request. 10 out of 10.

A lot! First of all I must mention that I travelled to Boracay for my Philippine holiday for 4 days (3 nights) together with my family (from 24-27 Feb 2023) and we’re 16 pax in total. It was our first time. Below are the things that I like from Agos: 1. The LOCATION of Agos which is very close to the beach and prime locations such as D mall, big restaurants (Jollibee, etc., supermarket, pharmacies (which are few steps from the hotel/accomodation. 2. The staff (specially the ones at the reception, I forgot the names of the others but I remember Kara and Carol) are very polite and friendly. They are very considerate as well. 3. Apart from the room towel that they provide you upon your stay, Agos lets you borrow Beach towels (per person), which is a big help for a big group like us. We didn’t bring towel at all.. so I was worried at first prior to our arrival. They change the room towel and beach towel daily. Was impressed about this. 4. Value for money. As mentioned, we came as a group of 16. We were supposed to stay at Henan hotel which is almost front of Agos but then, their rooms are not ideal for a family of 4 or 5 and you’ll have to get another room to accomodate 4-5 people. For me, I realised that it’s not practical as most of the time during the day, we’ll be out of the hotel for the water activities, so why pay an astronomical price for the room that we won’t be using all day? In comparison to Agos, one family room is able to accommodate 5 persons in a price that is very reasonable. hence, I chose Agos as their family room set up allows you to maximise the number of persons in your family which led to saving more rooms and money. 4. Cleanliness. They change everything daily. Bottled water, Toothbrush, coffee, towel, beddings, etc.. 5. Excellent wifi reception.

Red Coconut is a great resort with a fabulous restaurant. It is right on the beach and very close to everything. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We were upgraded twice - the first time I asked for a room not so close to the nightly fire dance performance and the second time because the door lock broke on the second room. Very happy with our stay.

Boracay is for Philippines what Pattya is for Thailand. Lot of Pub , restaurants, etc. White beach is over crowded with tourists, locals and service provides (pun intended!!)....there are other Beaches within Boracay which are less crowded but some are filled with green algae / plant. For families who look for beautiful beach, lagoons etc..places like El Nido is better choice.

Kalibo is a cute little town on a mid sized island.

Kalibo is a cute little town on a mid sized island. People are very friendly and helpful. Visit the large Church on Central Square. Try a visit to New Washington and the local memorial for Bishop Sin, who was instrumental in avoiding bloodshed during the 1986 revolution that austed the then ruling Dictator Ferdinand Marcos. That place features an ancient Port and several fish restaurants with great variety of sea food. You can probably hire the local fishermen for a boat ride.

Caticlan is a small community mostly used for by travelers to ferry between the mainland and Boracay. If you so happen to stay longer then there are tours into the hills. At the Port there is a bank, 7/11, pharmacy and many other stores. Also a high volume of security personnel. Very safe place. To get around you can walk like I did or take a trike for virtually no cost. (There is a cost obviously).

I flew into Kalibo to visit Boracay.

I flew into Kalibo to visit Boracay. That was a huge mistake. It is a long bus ride on terrible roads to get to Caticlan. The bus had no suspension to speak of. One of the bumps was so bad I was thrown into the air and injured my back. If you are visiting Boracay, make sure your plane lands in Caticlan.

Boracay is heaven on earth!

Boracay is heaven on earth! We loved the White Beach and Diniwid Beach, we loved the coffee shops and restaurants. Our favorite place was Real Coffee & Tea, we loved their calamansi muffins! The fifty shades of blue you are looking at there are amazing! You can walk a lot on the beach, but there's also hop on-hop off bus available (which we didn't get a chance to use, unfortunately!), We stayed there for 4 nights, but I wish we could have at least 2-3 more... there's also of locals who offer you all kinds of activities on every step of the way, so everyone can find sth interesting! It's very nice place, a bit touristy, but in the right amount (of it)... hopefully will go back one day...
