We stayed at Fat Jimmys during the peak of Feb 2008 (Chinese New year). Booking was easy and replying to emails were fast. I was given a family room for the price of a 2 double beds accomodation. It is a small hotel with a native setting. The accomodation includes daily bfast for 3 of us. It is abt 5... more

The resort is located behind the shops, and away from the beach. However, you can walk either using the back lane or the front street (through D'mall) to get to the beach. The location is not wonderful since it is located just next to the dump, thus obscuring any good view. However, it is value for money. One night of... more

Fat Jimmy's is a relatively reasonable place to stay if you're on a budget. Five of us stayed in one room and it was just enough for us to enjoy the Boracay experience. If you are not planning to hang out your room the whole day and would just need a cozy and safe place to stay for rest, this... more

If I could rate this negative, I would. This place is not worth it. First, it's behind the market, so you'll have to pass garbage and anything else that stinks to get to the beach. You try to hang out outside to have some drinks and you get eaten by the mosquitoes. They don't have ice available, you have to... more

This is a bit delayed, but just remembered my experience at this place and it was not so good. Pity cos the people here are nice. Summary: after a full day out, we spent our time in the room killing mosquitoes. Not fun. The dilemma was- should we spray Baygon and deal with the smell, or should we just keep... more

We learned about Fat Jimmy's through their website. It looked fine and the rates are affordable. But when we arrived there, we were dismayed. It's location is perhaps the worst in bora. It's beside the wet market and behind it is a garbage dump where all the waste from the market is collected. One passes through the wet market and... more

Janice and the staff at Fat Jimmys were extremely helpful and friendly. They were willing to go out of their way to make our stay a great one. At Fat Jimmy's you can sit under the cabana and enjoy cheap beers from the hotel, ask them to take you to the markets and cook you a traditional meal or keep... more

last 04 january 2007, we checked in at this resort. the following day, as we were about to leave the resort to have dinner outside, my mom was accidentally shot by the resort security guard. needless to say, we had to cut short our vacation to fly back to manila for my mother's hospitalization. initially, the resort owners assured us... more
