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
This 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.

Great hotel
If you like a quiet hotel in Boracay, this is your place. It is a 3 minute walk to the white beach and 20 minute walk to the D mall. We booked a one bedroom suite and it was worth every penny. It is very spacious, you have AC and a living room. The food at the hotel restaurant is good, but few tourists eat there. The staff is nice and helpfull. They also arrange transfer from/to airport. You have to take into consideration that from time to time, locals gather in the neighborhood for karaoke, which can be loud.

Green, lush, and beautiful getaway!
If there were a 6-rating option, I would have clicked it. Had an amazing few days at the Strand. This location provided a very green, lush, and helpful getaway while giving its occupants also the seclusion of a private resort away from the busyness of White Beach. But it was only a 100 peso tricycle ride away, or the distance away of a simple walk up the beach. This was our first time to Boracay and we were skeptical about the price of this nicer location, but it did not disappoint! The grounds were tidy, the staff was generous, the rooms were cozy, and the complimentary breakfasts were delicious (go with the Filipino option of corned beef YUM!). We stayed in a Suite which had 2 rooms adjoining as well as a balcony--all very well-kept and cleaned each day we would leave to see the sites of the island. The pool and public patio area provided relaxing options at the hotel as well, if you wanted to stay in and have some downtime there. Overall, we did not want to leave The Strand! When we did to go to another part of the island, we wanted to return for sure as our second location did not hold up. But all in all, will definitely be recommending this location to any and all who we meet and are traveling to Boracay. Great job, guys! Love the Strand!

Schönes Hotel in Strandnähe
Das Hotel liegt in einer Seitenstraße, 2 Gehminuten vom White Beach Station 1. Das Hotel verfügt über einen schönen Pool, den wir die meiste Zeit für uns alleine hatten. Der Staff war durchweg freundlich u hilfsbereit. Wer dem Trubel von Station 2 etwas entgehen möchte u keine direkte Strandlage braucht, der wird sich hier sehr wohl fühlen. Danke für die schöne Zeit 🙏🏻

ビーチに近くて静かなホテル
素朴な田舎のお家みたいなホテルです。周りにはニワトリが朝から賑やかで、野良猫も野良犬もたくさんいます。小さなプールが2つあり、子供達はそこで楽しく遊んでました。ファミリースイートだったのでオープンテラスのリビングから子供達の様子を見ることができました。スタッフはフレンドリーで、頼んだことはやってくれますが、何か気を回してサービスをしてくれることはあまりありません。周りには小さなローカルのお店が数件ありますが、やはりDモールまで行かないと買い物や食事は出来ないので、毎日トライシクルに乗って出掛けました。

Kleine Oase mitten im hektischen Boracay
Das Hotel liegt abseits vom Rummel in einer ruhigen, etwas schmutzigen Gegend ( neben einem Friedhof). Die Anlage selbst bietet einen wundervollen Garten mit schönem Pool. Zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Minuten. Das Personal ist äußerst freundlich. Die Zimmer sind groß, jedoch schon sehr abgewohnt.

Nära bästa delen av White Sand Beach
Fint hotell med stora fräsha rum. Fint separat dushrum och toalett rum med stenväggar. Skön säng och separat tv/köks rum med kylskåp. Ligger lite avlägset från centrum, vilket även är en fördel om man vill ha lugn, men är billigt att åka till centrum med tricycle. Beläget ett kvarter från nordligaste delen av white sand Beach, där stranden är som finast och lugnast, kantad av de finaste hotellen med färre turister än söderut på stranden.

조용한 호텔
타 리조트에 비해서 작은 규모의 리조트. 화이트 비치의 혼잡함과는 매우 다른 조용한 분위기가 제일 좋았습니다. 마주칠때마다 미소로 인사를 건네는 스태프들도 너무 좋았고요. D몰에서 거리는 조금 걸리지만 밥먹고 해변을 따라 걸어오기에는 딱 알맞은 거리고요 트라이시클을 타면 5분도 걸리지 않는 가까운 거리입니다. 주변의 DINIWID BEACH와 가까워서 바다 보기에도 매우 좋습니다. 너무 좋지만 유명해지지 않았으면 하는 리조트입니다.

프라이빗한 곳을 찾는다면 추천
디몰에서 트라이시클로 10분 100php이 드는 곳에 위치해 있다. 가는 길에 언덕이 있어 걸어 다니기는 매우 힘드고 멀기때문에 추천하지 않는다. 또한 해변가로 걸어 갈 수도 있지만 뜨거운 햇볕에서 익을 수 있으니 무조건 트라이시클을 타자. 호텔은 매우 조용하고 객실 수가 몇 개 없기 때문에 연인끼리 간다면 좋을 듯 하다. 정원과 뒷 산(?)이 있어 정글 같은 이국적인 느낌이 나며 수영장도 무릎까지 오는 어린이 풀장과 2M 어른용 풀장이 따로 되어 있다. (저녁10시 까지 이용할 수 있다고 하지만, 실제로 늦은 저녁까지 이용할 수 있음.) 조식은 양이 작지만 잘 나오는 편이고 직원들도 매우 친절하다.
