my mistake, true home hotel is in near station 1 not 2.

pearl of the pacific has the best beach front room. you open the door and you're 3 steps away from the sand. check for their promos, they can give a package inclusive of airfare for 8k++/person. the food, however is not too good.

you can also try waling-waling, seawind or fridays. all these resorts are near station 1, which means there are few boats parked on the beach unlike station 2 and 3. also, there is Caribo, a restaurant w/ 3 rooms only, the water in this place is purified. Cocomangas is also okay, it's right smack in the middle of night life.

station 1 is good if you like to enjoy swimming and laying on the sand and occasional sandbar. station 3 is good if you like snorkeling. station is close to all the bargain shops and restaurants.

you can also try true home hotel (ST2) and le soleil de boracay (ST2) and boracay regency (ST2).

if you're with someone special try Nami. it's on a hillside and not along white beach but the view and the room makes it all worthwhile. white beach is about 10-15 minutes away. ask for the Matawhay 4 room. it has a ocean view room. all rooms come w/ a jacuzzi at the balcony. this resort doesn't come cheap though. it's very new. check out www.namiboracay.com

also, when in boracay don't forget to try Tesebel's ihaw-ihaw in Puka beach. try the garlic prawns.
