Detailed Reviews
It was so secret that even the locals couldn't locate it ;-) The place was nice, cosy and most of all clean. The room was spacious and had some very useful ameneties. It has a beautiful garden. Eventhough the climate didn't accompanied us those 4 days we spent there, we have enjoyed the view from our terrace. The lady in the front desk was very helpful as well. If I ever go back to Boracay it could be my choice again.

The resort has really nice room. It is huge and clean - it’s like a studio apartment where you can also cook, etc. The surrounding is spacious with garden and coffee table but it’s creepy when you go in late at night because it is dark and there’s not enough light to guide you to your room.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Boracay. Although it is a bit far from the beach but you can just walk around 5 mins. Also, the staffs were friendly and very accommodating to guests. Plus, you get a clean and spacious room.

We transferred here after I made a quick survey online on where to stay since our flight got cancelled and the earliest flight home was not until the next 3 days. Our previous airbnb was in between Station 2 and 3, I wanted to try staying near station 1 and 2 and this place was perfect- this fit the bill as I also looked for a cheaper range accommodation. My vacation budget was limited already because of our extension due to the flight cancelation. Had a hassle-free online booking same day we checked in, and a warm welcome at the front desk.
This place was perfect for saving what was left of my cash (not all ATMs dispensed cash, we were caught between typhoons Urduja and Vinta during our trip) but they also have a convenient terminal for debit and credit cards. It is near affordable eateries like Lola's pizza, Andok's, Munchies- that offers a diverse mexican/filipino menu- McDonald's, and of course this hotel had its own restaurant/cafeteria that served great "silog" meals which can be brought to the room if requested, and most importantly at this point in our trip, cheap Filipino fare which we enjoyed several times, as well as a convenient last breakfast of our trip before finally heading home.
This place is also near laundry shops, unfortunately parts of the island had no water that time, again the typhoon's fault, so laundry shops were impossible, 2 to 3 days pickup. I was able to do some laundry in our room especially that we were lacking clothes by then. DMall and the White Beach is roughly a 5 to 10 min walk from here.
The room we were given, the stargazer (rooms are named after flowers) was spacious, had a nice selection of channels on cable (it was consistently raining and we just wanted to stay in the room for longer hours now that we have been around the island much longer than planned) very cold a/c, another sink apart from the bathroom sink, hot shower, mini fridge and electric water kettle for late night hot chocolate - some Swiss Miss that I bought at a nearby convenience store. The only downside I saw was the wooden floors that might be noisy to the guests next door or if you're with a companion. But I slept like a log even when there were guests in the other rooms so maybe if you're a light sleeper, request to stay where the floors aren't creaky.
The manager, and owner I suppose, was kind enough to arrange a tricycle ride for us to be able get to the jetty port on time, anticipating the holiday crowds. We spent Christmas eve here. It was very peaceful waking up on Christmas morning with our garden view from the room's hallway/balcony and to be greeted by their cheerful staff.
Even if I have ample budget on my next visit, I will consider staying here again for the many plus factors: location, amenities, safety (there is a security guard and it's in a gated compound), hospitality and value for money.
Thank you Secret Garden, my daughter and I enjoyed our peaceful Christmas eve with you. It was indeed a silent and holy night experience wherein we just prayed before getting a good night's sleep. Looking forward to our next visit.

Friendly staff.
A really excellent location near D'mall and the main beach.
Great price considering all we did was sleep there. Yummy breakfast.
I would recommend this place to friends and family. Boracay is busy but this place is located in a quiet area.
Check out the fish ball vendor just beside Lola's. Its only 1peso!

Secret Garden reall a Best stay for bloggers... nice staff...but next time put your nice nameplate bigger..see you soon! ;)

Lovely five-minute walk to the white beach😍❤️It was such a luxury to go back and forth. Staff are very accommodating and rooms are exceptionally clean—especially their bathroom, which me and my friends always look for. They have great meals too! Apart from that, the secret garden truly lives up to its name as it provided us such a cozy and quiet place from the all the touristy noise. Affordable tour packages compared to the expensive beach side offers. They will always be our lodging of choice each time we'll visit boracay.
Thank you, the secret garden!

The Secret Garden Resort is an excellent choice for us because the place is quiet and away from the hassle and bustle of the busy tourist attraction of Boracay. It is walking distance to the beach. The room is clean and cozy, simple and well-maintained. I love most the well-manicured garden and the service staff are so helpful and accommodating. The resort also offers free breakfast. The food here is also delicious and affordable.

Very pleasant stay near bulabog beach. Very quiet place but close to the island centre. Cheap and tasty local food. Good price/value ratio. Suitable also for kitesurfers since you have to walk only few minutes to the beach.

This is near restaurants, there are also nearby hotels that have bars in this area. The white beach itself is around a 5 minute walk away. Some bars and restaurants on the white beach have sun beds you can use.
