Friendly staff
Posted 12 Jun 2024 on HotelsWe had such a great time staying at The Strands! We stayed here in 2012. The staff made sure we had almost everything we needed. Very friendly staff! Although, I wish there was a mirror on the sink area. Otherwise, our stay was absolutely perfect!

The Gems of the property are the hispitality of the staff. Less than a milevwalk to the beach. Its a farm feel that has a nearby access to the beach. A butler to serve you of whats in your appetites' delight is unique. Tranquility is the vibe of this place.

A 5min walk to White Beach, no traffic noise, it's a small place so the pool and dining are are never really crowded, the rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and attentive. The only negative thing about the Strand is that it's on "Diniwid Beach Road" which doesn't actually go to Diniwid beach and because it's such a small place a lot of the taxi drivers don't know about it. Just keep your phone out with Google maps on it and make sure they take the right turn off from the Boracay highway otherwise you'll end up on "Diniwid Road" which does actually go to the beach. As for getting to Dinibeach Bar (highly recommended) just go down "Diniwid Beach Road" to the northern tip of White Beach then go left and follow the cliff around Lambros Point.

Favorite hotel in Boracay
Posted 15 Nov 2019 on HotelsThis is my favorite hotel in Boracay. It's a bit tucked away in a green oasis but also just a 2-minute walk from Station 1. It's really relaxed, quiet, and clean. Big balconies are a nice place to hang out, and I really enjoy the pool area. Staff are also very helpful and friendly.

The staff at The Strand were absolutely fantastic. Check-in was a breeze and they helped us book an island hopping tour during our trip. They also were helpful in getting us transportation back to MPH airport during the stay.
The hotel room was nice - the family suite is on the second floor of the building and next to the pool. The pool and on-site food was good. The location looks like a retreat with the lush gardens and natural landscaping.
However, there were a few things that we did not like. The location, while in wakling distance to the beautiful beaches, is within a neighborhood, away from the main area (we knew this going in but didn't expect it to be so close to residents). There was a rooster farm next to the property, where the roosters crowed all day long. There was also road construction on the way to the property, so we had to walk about 500m to get to the destination when checking in (not really the hotels fault, but wanted to state). Also, since the room is a wooden structure, there were some flying termites in our room - however, this only bothered us for 1 night, as there were bug zappers in each room.
Overall, for what we wanted and the fun we had at Boracay, the hotel was a good choice for our 3 days there. Even with the negatives, the friendly staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and memorable.
