This was our first time in Boracay. We chose Fridays because, unlike everything else on the island, it had a native feel to it with its nipa (thatched) roof and bamboo designs. We're glad we did. The resort was well maintained, the grounds well groomed. Our room was spacious with free wifi, a safe and a refrigerator. We were a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children. We had a queen bed and 2 single beds for our children. The bathroom was a good size with hot water shower. I like the international receptacles. I was able to flat iron my hair without needing an adapter.
Our room was on the 2nd floor. We enjoyed sitting on our private balcony with a hammock. So relaxing! The white sand private beach was steps away from our room. What's so special about Boracay is the white, powdery sand. It was exquisite! The blue water was a cool contrast to the white sand. It was also shallow for a long time so it was safe for children and non-swimmers. The staff was quick to give us towels when we got to the lounge chairs. We felt pretty safe leaving our DSLR on the chair while we swam in the water.
The food in the restaurant was delicious, though, a bit pricey. By that, I mean they are equivalent to eating out in Houston. We ate there, anyway. At night, they had Rommel play the guitar and sing. He was excellent!
Charie at the front desk was helpful, friendly and efficient. She arranged our airport transfer and parasailing. Would love to stay here again!
