this is the IT place if you choose to travel Boracay in a budget. Because of the genuine service with a heart attitude of the staff, you would not even think of the stay as something less grand. The rooms were cleaned up faithfully... even the manager-owner taught me her personal tricks on how to judge sheets if indeed were... More

My partner and I loved our stay at Daves Straww. Every single one of the staff were so lovely, friendly, accommodating but also laid back. The room was spotlessly cleaned everyday, the aircon and shower all worked really well. Its also really close to everything but far enough away it wasn't at all noisy. Also really close to a beautiful... More

Absolutely loved Dave's Straw Hat Inn!! Staff were incredibly kind and accommodating to our every need, helping us with everything from directions to organising ferry transfers and day trips!! Always kind and smiling, nothing was ever too much trouble- Especially Lisa! Rooms were spotlessly clean, and were cleaned each day. The accommodation grounds are only 50 or so metres from... More

I totally adored this place. Friendly staff. Great location. Breakfast was great. It is not a fancy place. Very low key and quiet. Mismatched linens and towels, etc. But who cares? White Beach in Boracay is the most beautiful place that I have seen. Loved my trip to the Phillippines. Would go back in an instant.

What can I say more! This place is simply pleasant and full of warmth of a HOME. It is a comfortable, clean and certainly a well maintained... small but cosy "family" run property. Most importantly it's staffed by the ever smiling, friendly and helpful personalities such as Gee, Janice n few other guys who I regretfully did not managed to... More

We stayed in DSHI for 2D/1N in May 2013. IMHO the place is over rated and I am not sure why trip advisor gives this a #1 rating. Pros(+) The place is as advertised - 2 minutes walk to the beach; clean rooms, strong water, friendly staff, good welcome drink, nice big bed, safety deposit box in the room. In... More

I stayed with my partner at Dave's Straw Hat for 4 nights. I have been on Boracay many times, but this is the first time I stayed there. So I am able to fairly compare by saying that they are definitely one of the better places on the island! I personally love staying on the south side of White Beach.... More

We stayed at Dave’s Straw Hat Inn for one week in May 2013. Overall, I agree with the other reviewers and think it is a fine residence for a Boracay vacation. Here is my take on my week: Service. While I do not feel that I was treated like family, I was treated well and have no complaints. Janet answered... More

We had an amazing time there, their staff were excellent all the time with us, good food, good drinks, excellents advises of where to go, excursions, restaurants, night clubs. The reception area is very comfortable. And the hotel is very good located.
