If five star facilities and huge resorts come second to welcoming and helpful staff, quiet leafy gardens, quaint rooms and a great price then you must stay at Dave's. The staff make this place number 1 in Boracay! The staff are always smiling and genuinely enjoy their job and making you feel like family. They bought a cake for our... More

Dave's Straw Hat Inn would have to have the best service of any place I have stayed. When you arrive you're met with a smile and one of their famous ice teas. They all remember you by name and are always happy to help out in any way possible. If you want to partake in any of the activities in... More

My sister and I stayed at Dave's Straw Hat Inn for our time in Boracay and it was probably the best decison that we made. We were very warmly welcomed upon our arrival and made to feel very welcome throughout our entire stay. The mango ice tea that were were offered on our first day was probably one of the... More

The hotel is tucked behind the main beach path near boat station 3. The garden has a really nice atmosphere and the service is very personal. More

When I hear "budget," I hear "no frills," but that was not the case with Dave's. They go above and beyond in terms of service. I'll list below. GETTING THERE: I was worried about all the crazy transfers I heard people have to do in order to get to Boracay (airplane transfer to tricycle/jeep rides to a boat to another... More

This was the best choice for sure. Quiet, clean, comfortable, value for money. All you need for holidays. Location is perfect, 15 mins walk form d`mall ( that i don`t recommend - too crowded and the food on very medium level.) If you came to relax this is the right place. I suggest going left along the beach not so... More

I chose Dave's based on the reviews and recommendations from Trip Advisors travelers. It was the right choice for me and my family of 5. The place is a haven, very conducive to resting, and just 2 minutes walk to the beach, on the quiet part of Boracay. There were times I was happy to just sit on our patio... More

I think the staff and the location(a short walk to the beach) is hard to beat. My wife and I stayed there for our anniversary last March and it was perfect for us. Just away from the crowds at the beach so you could just relax.Will go back and stay there again for sure! More
