Inexpensive Accommodation at Boracay, Station 1 : La Bella Casa de Boracay

Okay, so this post is a bit late since we went to Boracay about 2 months ago.  Since our internet connection is so slooooow and my mind is a bit disorganized these past days, I have not written any new posts here.

We again decided to have a vacation in Boracay as a birthday gift for our little one.   I tried searching online for a new and affordable accommodation near Station 1.   The first one who replied to our inquiries is the La Bella Casa de Boracay.  I also found out that La Bella has a number of good reviews from their previous guests.   I made transactions with one of their staff through their Facebook account and I was so delighted that they gave immediate attention on my inquiries.  What gave me another happiness is that it has affordable rooms.   We availed of the standard room worth PhP1,800.00 per night for 4 days and 3 nights, isn't it so affordable?   We really did not chose an expensive room since we will be staying on the beach or exploring the island most of the time.

For our reservation, I was required to pay 50% of the total amount through online bank payment.   On that same day, I was given a voucher through my email to be presented on our arrival.

The famous Willy's Rock, minutes walk away from La Bella.

We rode in a tricycle going to La Bella and paid PhP100.00 for an exclusive trip going there.   La Bella is located behind the Balabag Church and near the Police Station.   Although it is not located fronting the white beach, it is only about 2-minute walk to get to the beach in Station.   You can have a quick access to the Boracay's famous landmark - Willy's Rock and the famous thirst-quencher - Jonah's Fruit Shake.

I like this accessory found in our room... HAPPINESS!

The receptionist is so welcoming.  However, we were assigned in the room fronting the street and I was a bit frustrated since all the noise of the passing vehicles/tricycles and people can be heard inside our room as well as our (my little one's) rambling can also be heard outside.  With the facilities, it has hot and cold shower, a cable TV, air-conditioning unit, a WiFi access and a free breakfast of our choice based on their menu.

Their sets of breakfasts...

 I heard that they have a cafeteria where you can dine but we prefer our breakfast to be delivered in our room.   Medyo makulit the little one, that's why.   They have great foods and best of all is that they have great serving staff.   Since we stayed for four days, they changed our bed and pillow covers and towels daily.   They also religiously clean our room without complains that we have so many kalat because of our little one's doing.

Although their television set is not yet an LED nor an LCD, we still did not mind since we were not spending most of our time watching its shows.

A heart to heart talk??? You understand your Papa, little one?

Just right outside our room where the little one and her Papa loves to stay...

Next to our room is the reception area and the nice thing is, this is where the guard-on-duty also stays during his shift.   They have the best guard!  He is so approachable and you can ask anything about Boracay or any of its activities or attractions.   This is also good for budget travelers since it has inexpensive restaurants and karinderias within the area that you can have affordable meals during your stay in Boracay.   The downside of its location is that it is far from D'Mall.   We need to ride a tricycle to go D'Mall or Station 2 where most of the good restaurants and shopping boutiques are located.  Anyways, it's not that big deal, though!

Over-all, we had a great vacation in Boracay and a pleasant stay in La Bella Casa de Boracay.  I would gladly recommend this to those who are on a budget and still wants to explore and enjoy Boracay.

And by the way, La Bella Casa de Boracay earned their Triapvisor's Certificate of Excellence for the Year 2013.
