Wasn’t told about constructions being done at resort prior to 5day stay. Re-thatching of bungalows, hammering from 8am all day long. Mozzies in bungalows always, got sick. Breakfast was very disappointing, set menus, old cold, dried up bacon. no bacon some days, no fresh food Orange juice the whole time I was there. staff are nice but are mostly run off there feet and can tell they are under paid and it doesn’t seem fair to them to complain. The cocktails and happy hour are great, location great. But hammering all day made me feel like we were not relaxing one bit. I love the place but unfortunately I think Boracay is turning into the ways it used to be with over crowding and rubbish in the water and along the beach. Plastics seen everywhere, so spent a lot of the time trying to help out by cleaning up what we could. I don’t wish they would regulate the amount of tourists here and charge more money than they have to, people would still come for the fantastic sunsets. I’d hate to see the island go to ruin like many of the islands have in Indonesia and around the world due to over crowding and bad infrastructure that can it handle the massive influx of tourists, that mostly don’t care about the damage they are doing to such a beautiful place😢

Gone way down hill
Having been to Fridays 4 times over the past few years I was very disappointed with my recent stay that I actually checked out 3 days early and moved to another property - over the 6 months the island was closed I think fridays just closed and went on holiday whilst other properties did renovations and spruced up - the first room I was given smelled damp, the bed linen smelled damp, there were cockroaches crawling around and the shower unit cane away from the wall. They did move me to another room but it took 24 hours, the room was okay and none of the other problems but very very noisy - busted the restaurant on the first day and 3 items missing from the menu including nothing to make salad - the next day tried to order food again but the 5 things I wanted were not available and also drinks were not available - not the staff’s fault but certainly management and the chefs fault for not stocking up... when I complained I was told no manager available to talk to but they would pass my concern on - which they didn’t because when I followed the next morning all I got was sorry - I said I would transfer to another hotel and was told fine but no refund would be given .... service poor amenities poor, it’s a shame I have been loyal to Fridays over the years because was good previously ...... it certainly has gone down hill and I will not return and have advised my colleagues in the industry of its dilapidation... sorry Fridays

Hi Mr. David, greetings from Fridays Boracay! Thank you for taking time to provide your feedback. Our ingredients are sourced out from the fresh local market, thus, we are unable to provide you particular items from the menu due to seasonality. We know that this is unacceptable, this has been raised already to our Executive Chef for rectification. We hope for another opportunity to serve you better on your sixth visit. Thank you and cheers!

Good option for beachfront quiet relaxation.
«+» Very quiet and private location. Walkable distance to the village center. A good restaurant with delicious food and nice drink selection (amazing juices; try the mango!). Very big room. «–» Wi-Fi was terrible! It did not work almost every day! Very dark room (#15). No hot water. Very poor quality bath amenities. Inconsistent house cleaning (every day they forgot something). Whole hotel needs a facelift.

Can't beat the location...or the beach.
Fridays is an excellent choice in Boracay if you don't want to be in the thick of things...but you can still easily walk to other dining and entertaining options. However, the beach in front of the resort is nothing less than phenomenal. The service is also impeccable...with the staff always willing to try and make your stay a success. They even took the time to learn your name. All in all, a great choice for Boracay if you're willing to splurge a little.

Beautiful native hut luxury hotel on the beach
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!

Good, but can be better
Beautiful resort, great location. Rooms are large and comfortable. Restaurant/bar staff were friendly, but slow and inattentive. Need to watch out for mystery charges on bar tab. The pool is shaded and just so-so for a hotel of that caliber. The restaurant/bar hours are limited, wish they could extend at a later time or preferably 24/7 since we mostly ended up eating at other restaurants. Security is good and the port to room transfer process and back is nice and well worth for what we paid. The said process went smoothly and was very convenient. Lastly, we ran into an issue with the receptionist upon check in because they tried to add more charges for the 2 kids when they were already included when I initially paid for the room. Had a little bit of discussion with them and when they double checked, they found out I was right and that I'm not supposed to be charged extra.

Perfect Stay for a 4 day get away
Fridays has a great location on White Sand Beach. It's at the end so it has a private quiet feel without the crowds yet it's just a short walk to the main resturants and bars at the center of the strip. It has one of the biggest private beach areas and we enjoyed everything about the facilities. The beach and water were fantastic, wonderful massage area, and nice bar and restaurant. The hotel staff did a great job and were extremely helpful in helping me plan and arrange the events for my GF's birthday. I would definitely go back and stay at Fridays

Perfect spot for relax and party
All the staff were incredible friendly and helpful from day 1. I love the location as it is walking distance to station one but at the same time far enough for it to be very quiet at all times. The only thing I didnt like was that the neighbor hotel north of Fridays had very loud music at night which kind of ruined the small live performance they had for dinner time.

bad start
Our trip got off to the worst possible start with the hotel failing to pick us up at Caticlan airport. the reception did not respond positively and in the end we had no choice but to make our own way to the resort, bus, ferry, taxi. on arrival reception dad finally realised we had reserved a airport transfer and apologised. the hotel manager was not available and decided to avoid us as she had more important tasks to attend to. the resort is very basic, the room and bathrooms in desperate need of an upgrade. notwithstanding the staff are very helpful and attentive and could not do enough to make the stay comfortable. Having stayed at Discovery Shores on my previous trip I certainly wont return to Fridays

Nice hotel, close to the more quiet end of the beach. It's also not huge, so you will not be with many other guests. We were lucky and were upgraded on arrival- the suite rooms are awesome- huge bathroom with tub and bed and bedding is very comfy.

Classic
Stopped on the island for three days after an Manila business trip. Solo single white male with scruples (completely out of place among the Viagra Americans with their 20-year old Pinay arm-pieces). Fridays: Excellent digs, clean, rustic, great service. Love the veranda hammock. Boracay south of Boat Station 1 put me on edge with its party atmosphere; Coming home to Fridays always felt like an oasis. The sun hat and selfie stick peddlers do inhabit this end of the beach, but it's quiet and has a calm cool vibe. The food could use improvement, but what a spot for a drink and a sunset.

Short Getaway
I purposely selected this hotel for privacy - away from the crowd, and the island vibe - hammock, bed-netting, etc. It was a quick 2-day getaway for my wife and I and we wanted privacy and the quiet walk on the beach. We could have done without the heat and rain but that's part of being in the tropics. For most part, the hotel was quiet and our morning or late evening walks on the beach gave us the solitude we were seeking. Our stay was pleasant and relaxing and the staff very friendly and accommodating.

boracay is building up quickly, but Friday's still provides an authentic experience on a nice part of beach. there was contruction next door, which was a bit of a nuisance at night, but imagine this won't continue for much longer. also, the music selection at the beach bar and resaurant was pretty cheesy.

In the quiet area of Boracay.The service quality was good. The beds on the beach are elegant. It is far from Center of attraction or any other restaurants. You need to take a tricycle but you have to clim up stairs. There is Algae problem on entire white beach which forms during the summer time also the water is so shallow. Recommend you not for more than 2 days.
