Long, long walk from all the action on the beach. Once you get to the hotel it has a nice atmosphere. The manager is very helpful. The rooms are simple and crawling with ants. We had a room with no A/C which was a big mistake but the hotel provided us with an extra fan which made a difference. The... More

Mr. Lynn and his staff did a phenomenal job keeping us comfortable and looked after. The overall vibe is awesome, good wifi connections and good breakfast. Being a little ways off the beach was nice to get away from the madness during Holy Week, and it created a nice quiet area for us to escape to. That being said Orchids... More

Please remember that at least for me, the number of stars is a cost-adjusted rating, NOT an absolute rating. If you want absolute ratings, look at the government’s star system (e.g., a 4-star hotel). On this basis, Orchids Resort is as good as it gets in Boracay as far as I could determine. Orchids’ owner, a retired American, calls it... More

Courteous staff. Cons: No free wifi. 50 pesos per day. The room. #9 in particular. The beds are not clean. Towel are... More

So we contacted myboracayguide and asked if we could cancel the booking. The woman told us yes, it was... More

the guests booked thru myboracayguide as their on-line 'travel agent'. myboracayguide is an excellent choice for reservations and their cancellation policy is clearly written. The fact the guests were not told by myboracayguide is not the fault or error of the resort, and should not be reflected on the resort. the reservation was for 2 pax. Four showed up. per... More

This place is such a delight for a budget conscious tourist like me. The price is affordable but you will get a clean and comfortable room, nice breakfast, helpful staff and relaxing surrounding. Although, if you are looking for a place in the middle of night life then you might consider other hotel. This is located in station 3, far... More

We booked our stay through "my boracay guide", which was no hassle and basically didn't give us any headache.

We loved to stay at this clean and peaceful little place. It is surrounded by a nice garden with trees spending a lot of shadow. The rooms were clean, the staff was really friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the coffee and tea for breakfast. Thanks for the time at Orchirds Resort!
