Went there to check it out based on the fantastic reviews (and the number of them!!!!!). The INN is placed in a not that nice back alley, The rooms as so/so, and we saw the deluxe. When they asked if we would like to see the standard room, we kindly said "thanks - but NO thanks". 1: This is NOT... More

We have no record of any inquiry by you to us. There is no booking and we don’t see a visit that was logged. Our deluxe room was fully booked all of January, so not sure how you saw that. We do not let walk in guests see occupied rooms. Per your comments, it amazes us how a person can... More

Its like a secret garden off the main drag in Station 3 of Boracay. Nothing fancy but comfortable and friendly. The breakfasts are good, loved the oatmeal with banana and the brewed coffee. Staff really make you feel at home. They even have a sun tan station if you run out or are in need of some aloe vera! More

The standard room is rather small. You got a refrigerator and a safety box but really no place for your clothes. The bed is rather hard and screamed every time you turned around. I still Love the Straw Hat Inn; its qiet, and all the staff care about you and do their best to make you feel at home. More

I thought I didn't need to write another raving review BUT we were very touched when we got a nice surprise for our wedding anniversary. So i just want to say "Thanks guys!". That was totally unexpected since I had just mentioned it in passing during a phone conversation. And yes... the welcome drink was absolutely delicious!!! More

My husband and I went to the Philippines for our honeymoon and we stayed at Dave's Straw Hat Inn while in Boracay. It is about a 2 minute walk from the beach and is very quiet and cozy. The rooms are not very big but they were clean and neat and we always had a cute little animal or flower... More

We had a standard cottage which did exactly what it said on the tin, somewhere clean, safe and comfortable to put your head down. The staff are some of the most pleasant and helpful staff we have encountered at any of our hotel stays and were always willing to help and have a laugh. This place is no Shangri-La but... More

Dave's straw hat inn is probably one of the best inn on the white sand beach. The location is perfect: in the south of the beach, so you avoid the crowd and groups of tourists, and a little bit in the backyard which makes the place even more quiet. The Pancakes are just to die for!!!!!!! The rooms are simple... More

Everything has been said about Dave's Straw Hat Inn already! Believe me, all the good things are true. Biggest disappoint? I didn't meet Janet because she'd justt gone to Manila. There's always next year. Thanks to all the staff who made our stay perfect and especially to Gefrey. More

The staff are what make this place, as was said by someone else we met who worked in Boracay, you arrive a guest and leave as a friend. We stayed as part of our honeymoon tour and they were one of two places that even acknowledged that it was our honeymoon by giving us a huge cake on the day... More
