Most visitors arrive through Caticlan, then continue by land and boat transfer to Boracay Island. Allow extra time between a flight and hotel check-in for the transfer sequence.
Your biggest cost variables are hotel location, beachfront access, room category and travel dates. Inland rooms can offer better value than beachfront rooms within the same station.
First-time visitor?
Favor convenience and a location close to your highest-priority activities. Repeat visitors can often trade centrality for quieter surroundings, more space or a different local atmosphere.
