For my debut , I will be writing about our stay at La Bella Casa de Boracay.
We stayed in La Bella last year around July when I went I went to Boracay with my cousin. It was actually a spur of the moment decision to head there as I got an immediate invitation from a CouchSurfing friend who is to celebrate her birthday in the beautiful island. Luckily, there was a promo from Philippine Airlines and I was able to grab two promo tickets!
I then immediately scoured for cheaper accommodation in Boracay. That would have to be my second time in Boracay. The first time I went there, we stayed at Club Ten somewhere in Station 2. This time I thought we'd like to try Station 1.
La Bella caught my attention since it's cheap and found it had good reviews. I usually check on Tripadvisor for hotel reviews and start comparing every hotel I plan to stay at. It looked promising and since we will be out of the hotel most of the day, it was a good fit to what we just need.
I have sent our booking requirements via email indicated on the site and I got a quick response. In a day or two I paid our reservation fee and they sent a confirmation email. It was really straight-forward, so points for that.
Our fee has included the round trip transfer from Kalibo so we won't have to bother too much!
La Bella is found on Station 1 but it's not beach front. It's actually located somewhere behind Willy's and had to walk 5 minutes. It's close proximity to the chapel.
We got to the hotel at night. I liked that it has this homey feel. Nice and accommodating staff. At night, we would arrive so late and we still find kuya waiting for us!
We stayed on the second floor. Room has this Asian motif with wooden floors and artful ornaments.
There was even an attic room on top of our room for bigger groups. They serve nice breakfast too and you can even ask it to be sent to the room!
They have nice toilet and bath. Although the water flow can't be that good (maybe because we are on the 2nd floor?).
The staff has also helped and assisted us with our activities, they managed to give us information on our helmet diving and ATV to go up to the mountain.
Overall it was a good experience. Perhaps the only thing I may not be happy about is that it's far from D'mall because we love shopping but it's not a big deal because we can easily walk along the beach or hire a tricycle anytime we want to!

Which do yo prefer: Club Ten or La Bella Casa de Boracay? Thanks! :))
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous, wow, you should have left your name! hehe Personally, the location is my priority and after having been to station 1, 2 and 3. I guess I would likely choose Club Ten due to its proximity to restaurants and commercial establishments.
DeleteIn fairness to la bella, we also had a great stay there and it was walking distance to the beach. Loved their service too!
