I recently stayed at Dave's and enjoyed the visit. I don't know for the life of my how this is rated the #1 resort in Boracay though. It's a good value for a hotel in the P2000 range. The rooms are smallish, but very clean and comfortable. The grounds are beautifully manicured. Electricity, air conditioning, hot water all worked fine... more

Simply put, all we have read is true. We had weather problems, airline and transfer problems and even missed our flight….all said and done, the smiles at Dave’s never stopped and the assistance we got from them is what kept us from really getting upset with the conditions, none of which had to do with the hotel. We had a... more

My buddy and I decided to take a vacation to Boracay and stay at Dave's Straw Hat Inn while there. A friend told us he knew the owner personally and knew the resort was a great place to stay. He was right!! Dave's was amazing and very affordable. The resort staff was very accommodating and anything we needed, they took... more

as this gem is quietly located just 2 min maximum away from the beach. Unless you choose a first class resort, being directly at the beach is not a real advantage.

The towels are changed daily. The staff was very friendly and I felt very much at home. The price was okay, but not a... more

Only stayed 4 days but wished it was longer. Clean comfortable room, good food, reasonable prices and the friendliest, most helpful staff you could ask for. Also, the location is perfect since it is a peaceful, quiet location but close to the beach and near to all shopping needs as well. This was my 2nd time at Dave's Straw Hat... more

This was the second time we went to this hotel - we were looking for a place to totally relax, and knew that we would have no hassles at Dave's Straw Hat. The rooms are basic, clean but small. The thing that makes this place is the friendly staff. We were warmly welcomed back and felt so well taken care... more
