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

Dave's Straw Hat Inn is an oasis in the middle of a very beautiful, though sometimes kitschy tourist destination. The south end (boat station 3) of white beach, Boracay is definitely the best spot to be if you want a relaxed, relatively less-touristed beach experience.

Thanks for a lovely stay at Dave's Straw. Everybody made us feel really welcome. We especially loved the banana pancakes and the mango iced tea. Best wishes to all the team. It was fun to make the short (1 minute) walk to the beach and try out many of the activities on offer on Boracay. Station 3 has a peaceful... More
