Monaco Suites de Boracay is a Mediterranean-style luxury property located in a secluded area, a little away from the hustle and bustle of Stations 1 and 2. With private access to a small beach, an infinity pool, and stunning ocean views from all common spaces and rooms, the hotel is an ideal pick for couples and families seeking some peace and quiet. The property consists of 50 large, upscale suites with one to three bedrooms, large furnished terraces with ocean views, spacious living areas, and full kitchens. The restaurant serves tasty international cuisine and has great views, and the rooftop bar is a lovely spot for a quiet drink at night overlooking the ocean. In-room massages are available, but there is no full spa on-site. Travelers looking for something more central may want to check out The District Boracay in Station 2 instead.

The 26-room Tans Guesthouse is a no-frills budget property located right by the beach in busy Station 2. Rooms are plain in terms of decor, but clean and well-equipped, with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, and safes. The largest units can sleep up to 10 guests and have kitchens, offering good value to families and large groups on a budget. The fitness center and the salon offering massage services are nice perks rarely found in similarly priced hotels, but the property lacks a pool, and breakfast is not included in the standard rate. For a little more, the Surfside Boracay Resort & Spa has a nicer spa and a quieter beachfront location in Station 3.
