Home is where Microtel is in exciting Boracay Island



I was introduced to Microtel Inns and Suites in summer of 2004. It was not in Boracay but in Baguio City where my friends and I decided to spend a weekend break. It is Microtel’s proximity to major roads and accessibility to Victory Liner that convinced us to book.

Generally, our two-day stay was pleasant; the cool climate was perfectly set off by the warm accommodation.

And it was all six years ago. These days going on a vacation is a little lavish considering the high spending associated with our daily living however for me it is essential that once in a while we take a break from the metropolitan to loosen up.


And the way I see Boracay from photos and forums, it is the absolute destination, a traveler’s paradise you may call.


Getting to Boracay Island is not the usual 12-hour bus ride I am used to when traveling up north; it requires a 40 minutes plane ride, 90 minutes bus trip and another 30 minutes boat ride.


The plane ticket alone is a bit heavy on the pocket, so, getting a decent hotel is another big challenge.


Discovering Microtel Inns and Suites is a real value for your money. They provide affordable and competitive rates without sacrificing the quality of service, which is by the way, designed to cater both business and leisure travelers.


As first timers to Boracay would be, definitely, I would go for comfort and Microtel being known for consistently providing this impression would be my choice. For somebody like me who detest the usual action-packed night scene, Microtel’s ideal location at Station 1 will surely offer peace and quite accommodation.


At daybreak, the much wider Diniwid Beach would be great for morning strolls with less beach goers. Privacy would relatively much felt here.


In addition, Microtel’s beachfront access is another plus point in experiencing the finest sand and crystal clear water, which Boracay was well known.



I would totally enjoy the relaxation of window seating on late afternoon and getting the best view of the blue waters, the sunset and the people as they do their things. For me, this is the best opportunity for life’s reflection while doing a quick post of the breathtaking happenings at the scenic island Boracay.


And ending the night with the smell of fresh linens with equally comfortable healthy-for-the-back chiropractic beds guarantees a peaceful good night sleep.


Like I told you, I have not been to Boracay and I will not settle for anything less neither anything so luxurious, so, definitely I would put Microtel on my list for that comfort and intimacy of hotel living available at such great-value. Those eight years in a row recognition is evidence of being the finest when it comes to guest satisfaction. And for me, that is more than enough reason to say that nothing would still beat Microtel’s spot in experiencing Boracay to the fullest.
