Bans Beach Resort Boracay — Hotel in Malay

I dunno how to rate it, actually. Let me start with the (very little) good points. They got good sized, clean rooms with clean beddings and towel. The little terrace infront of the room is a great place to hang out in. There’s a mini fridge, hot and cold shower and complementary 3-in-1 coffee, and a tiny bar of soap. We hung the “make up room” sign outside the room, but u need to remind the receptionist so they will actually send someone to clean. Dont expect fluffy pillows and a soft bed, though. And there are mosquitoes in the room. We actually wiped the anti mosquito lotion on the walls near the bed to keep them away. We all escaped with just a few bites. The aircon is old and very noisy.|There is no restaurant/ bar or place to eat meals at the place. The entrance/ walkway to the rooms are lined by dive shop huts, where scores of guests AND guides in scuba gear hung out to smoke cigarettes. And it doesnt help that the trash can for the cigarette butts is in the middle of the walkway. Pass by after your shower and your hair is gonna stink of cigarettes the whole day.||This is not a beachfront place. It’s just a DECENT place with a bed to crash into after a day of water activities, or if you couldnt get a better place and you have ran out of options. Sadly, it is too expensive at 4500 per day for just a “decent” place, and that is even a group price. They offered breakfast, but at 500 pesos, I’d rather eat a better breakfast outside. ||Boracay, though, is definitely more, more, more beautiful after the clean up, and they are already enforcing stricter rules for littering, drinking on the beach, etc. to maintain it.|Do come visit Boracay. But find someplace...

I really can't see a reason to stay anywhere else in Boracay. This hotel is in the perfect location right on the border of Station 2/1. You can walk from your room to the nicest stretch of White Beach in less than 3 minutes, and the tour boat docks in about 5 minutes.

The room is basic, but very comfortable, and the balconies are a nice feature to enjoy at the end of a day on the beach. The bed was comfortable enough although very basic. The room had a refrigerator, as well as a few amenities (dental kits, shampoo/soap, and 2 packs of Coffee) not expected from a property as inexpensive as this one.

The part that set this above others I've stayed at is the genuinely friendly service. The front desk was always happy to help and offer advice. The housekeeping staff were quick to fulfill any requests, and the guard at the entrance always greeted us with a smile.

When I return to Boracay I will only stay at Oyo Bans Beach Resort, as I just dont think there is a better value for price, location,...
