| Hotel Character
This is a Filipino hotel, not an American hotel. To me that means it does not have a lot of useless costly amenities.
One of the things I like about the Philippines is the low prices there, so this resort was exactly what I was looking for. I booked 3 rooms, the deluxe room for my wife, myself and our two year old daughter, and two smaller rooms for some Filipino relatives we invited with us.
If you want to spend a lot of money on Boracay you have plenty of choices. I did not want to spend a lot of money. I needed a room to sleep in, but the rest of the time I expected to be out on the beach or touring around. A simple resort would suit my taste and budget just fine. You simply can’t beat the price at Casa Camilla, it is 1/10th the price of most of the other resorts.
HOSTEL CLEANLINESS
The rooms all had a TV and air conditioner. Our room had access to a refrigerator. The bed, furniture and showers were more than adequate. Because of its proximity to the beach some white sand is unavoidably tracked into the room and shower. No big deal. The linen and towels were perfectly adequate.
HOSTEL SECURITY
Key locked door. No problems with theft.
HOSTEL STAFF
Typical Filipino staff. Very responsible considering the fact that the owner was in Manila at the time and they were self-supervising.
Hostel Location
The resort is very close to the beach, on the south end, which means you are out of the hustle and bustle of central White Beach, something I considered a plus.
Fun
We had a great time on Boracay staying at Casa Camilla.
