Paradise Philippines Guide

Boracay has always been known for being the most exciting vacation destination to go to, especially during summer. What with the numerous shops, restaurants, and party events that one can stumble upon at the place, there’s never a dull moment for vacationers who are looking to have an exciting and fun-filled experience.

However, contrary to common assumption, not everyone that goes to Boracay is looking to party and experience the buzzing nightlife by the beach. Indeed, some actually go to do the opposite: to relax, escape the fast-paced monotony of city life, and enjoy the tropical beauty of Boracay in peace.

Recognizing this need of some of the island’s visitors, Microtel Inn & Suites Boracay provides guests with the privacy and relaxing atmosphere they seek. Located along Diniwid Beach, the hotel is separated from the busier shores of White Beach, exuding an intimate calmness upon guests arriving at the resort. With air-conditioned rooms that have chiropractic-approved beds, window seats, and other hotel amenities specifically designed to provide the utmost comfort, guests are sure to have the relaxing retreat that they are looking for.

Though the hotel is already known for offering understated yet elegant accommodations at an affordable price, Microtel Boracay truly takes pride in the excellent service they provide their guests. Dedicated to making sure guests have a wonderful and memorable experience during their stay, the hotel’s warm and very efficient staff are ever mindful of addressing their guests’ concerns, sometimes even before they realize their needs.

Perhaps none can say it better than what a review of a recent guest at the hotel had said, attesting to the world-class service of Microtel Boracay. A frequent vacationer at the island, she decided to try the hotel for the first time, hoping for a more peaceful and private holiday with her husband. She was pleasantly surprised at the thoughtfulness and efficiency of the staff, who went out of their way to make their stay truly enjoyable. To quote: “Our stay at the Microtel in Boracay was truly an experience. Not because its facilities were particularly luxurious or glamorous, or because its guests were celebrities and/or politicians, but because of the quality of the people working there. They are of a different caliber, often going above and beyond the call of duty in an effort to make each guest’s stay as personalized and as pleasant as possible.” Her complete review of the hotel can be read here.

Indeed, if you’re looking for a rejuvenating respite at a place where your comfort is top priority, Microtel Boracay is the ideal place for you.

After nearly 8 months of being down, we’ve finally decided to put this site back online.  A lot has happened. Vacations. Hotel stays and reviews. News from around RP. We’ll get things going soon.

A shout out goes to our amazing host Marvins Web. Thanks for responding in a timely manner and helping with the server-to-server transfer of files and database tables. That was quick!

Watch out for some great things to come. We’re planning to make some changes. We’ll probably put up a hotel directory. A revamp maybe on its way…just need time, resources..and yeah, money. As always, this site will continue to bring you the latest in the Philippines.

Stay tuned.
