We were greeted by Lenny, she was really nice and accommodating as she gave us a tour of the place, made us view the different rooms they have. We got a room at the ground floor. The place is so homey, it’s like you are just in your very own vacation home. It has a cute swimming pool and a nice garden, which we enjoyed right after we settled our stuff in the room. It’s place is Mediterranean in architecture with three separate structures with a few room each.

While swimming, owner Sonja arrived and we had a nice talk with her by the pool. We enjoyed playing with her dog too, which was allowed only to roam around the garden but not jump in the pool. Sonja has been in the travel industry for a long time and has travelled the world, and so it’s really her passion to do what she is doing. She visited bohol and fell in love with the place and decided to build her very own resort.

Charts has a nice cafe on the second floor where they serve nice coffee and snacks. We enjoyed a nice American Breakfast there.

PROS: Very homey, nice pool, rooms are very clean, staff are friendly. Real value for money. Owner provide personal touch to everything. Excellent for a private get away.

CONS: Not along the beach front. But to us, it’s actually okey because it’s away from the noise of the beach nightlife. Limited rooms, so book ahead.

Would i stay there again? Definitely, over and over.

It’s my first time in Boracay after the flow of getting to the Island was changed, it was last year i think. Before, the ferry boat from the Jetty port Caticlan directly goes to the beach front where you get off anywhere from Station 1 to 3. Now, the boat it takes you to one drop off point (shorter ride which is good), where there are minivans you could take for about P50 per pax that would bring you along the Main Road and take you to your Hotel/Resort.  Since most of the resort are on the Beach Front, the minivan will likely to drop you off at the main road and you will have to take a 5minute walk to your resort.  If you have made arrangements to be fetched, then their would probably be a person or group of persons who would carry your luggage. If you are travelling on a Packaged tour, you can arrange all your transfers with them. 

In my opinion, the current way of getting to the Island is better in terms of making the Beach Front look better, without a lot of boats.  The stretch became more beautiful…

Before, you can imagine that boats line up after another and while you swim, you keep seeing luggages and arriving tourists coming. Now, you can just enjoy the pleasure of enjoying the beach view, unobstructed. It’s me on the photo with my nephew Jaepher.

Welcome to a greater BORACAY!
