Izakaya boracay — Restaurant in Malay

We ended up finding this place on a whim, after being turned down multiple times for massages at Abrams Spa on the main road (they are always fully booked). About a block and a half away is the Thai Borocay (Massage Spa). It is on the upper level but is spacious and clean. There is also a massive sign that says “Massage” above the building so you can't miss it.

The staff at Thai Borocay will listen to your needs to make your experience pleasant. The first day we came, we wanted short 30-minute massages (usually the massages are 70+ minutes), and they tailored their services to our request. We also got to pick our scents for the massage. On the second day, my husband was interested in learning some Thai massage techniques. They planned a quick lesson and they were absolutely patient as he was trying to learn different maneuvers. We then had the most wonderful hot stone massages. I was absolutely shocked at how amazing this parlor was – and even more surprised that we were the only customers the both times that we were there. This place is an absolute gem, I’m so happy we found it. After our massages we were given hot black tea. Prices were reasonable and were also listed in USD. Tip is encouraged for their masseuses.

We also met the owner who is Korean and an absolutely pleasure to talk to. He told us that he brought a Thai masseuse to the Philippines to teach his employees Thai massage and become professionally certified. He then gave us a free cuticle massage oil. If you are looking for a clean massage place with top-notch customer service and talented masseuses look no further! Sending lots of love! – Holly...

Super accomodating and intimate anime-themed izakaya, with great - affordable - food (that we got a whole lot of), and great atmosphere.

Wilson went above and beyond and took me on a small adventure because I didn't have cash on me (my bad haha). But apparently small adventures are his day job - you should ask about a proper tour. Ended up a really fun night. This place stays open suitably late for an izakaya unlike some others around the island.

The chicken thigh skewers are to die for, we ended up getting over 10 portions per person, along with a full meal and other...

Went here for a light snack before my massage. I really enjoyed the pork belly and thigh yakitori, the meat was high-quality and delicious straight off the grill. I liked the smaller, intimate interior and the grill being outside prevented the food smell from coating your clothes (if you care about that). Staff was friendly and the prices are very, very reasonable....
