If you’re looking to book a hotel in station 1, you’re in luck! We’ve rounded up the best Boracay hotels station 1 to book from luxury, mid-range, and budget!
If I were to go back to Boracay, I’d book a hotel in Station 1. During our first visit to Boracay, Ryk and I stayed in one of the hotels in Station 2. While it was a pleasant experience, we’d want to try staying in Station 1.
After Boracay’s reopening in 2018, the island has since limited the number of tourists who can enter. One requirement for entry to this paradise is to show your proof of hotel booking.
So does that mean I have to book our accommodation before going to Boracay?
A BIG YES!
For every tourist traveling to Boracay, hotel bookings are required. But not just any booking, it has to be from one of those in the list of accredited hotels in Boracay.
Anyway, we’re here to help you find the best accommodation in Boracay starting with Station 1.
Travel Tip: We’ve also listed the best accommodations for Station 2 and Station 3.
But first things first, do you have travel insurance? This is something you should have but wish you never want to use.
