I just stayed at Willys with a group of people about 8 total. We stayed there over the New Years holiday. It was absolutley a awesome experience. Willys is a great place to stay! The people are attentive, friendly and fast with getting anything you want. They really made the experince a good one. We had breakfast buffett every morning (always something different). We had a waiter there for our entire stay his name is RICK. He was by far the best and most attentive waiter ever. MY group loved him! Anything we wanted he did. He also arranged a snorkling trip for us. Willys as a whole was a great place. I recommend it to anyone. It's at the quiet end of the beach and easy to walk to the mall or nightlife. I was just reading a few reviews on here and can't really believe that people complained about being greeted and about the staff being friendly. If you did'nt realize the greeting part is surposed to make you feel at home and welcome. I guess people always need something to complain about! Anyway STAY at WILLYS its nice, clean and if your lucky you will get RICK as your waiter!

We wanted to stay at Fridays, but it was booked up for our dates, so we chose Willys. Previous reviews commented on the excellent service at Willys, but we were not overly impressed. Perhaps if you like to be greeted a hundred times a day, you would respond to this kind of hospitality more than we did. We found we tired of the constant "Hello, ma'am, hello, sir" after the first few hours.

The beach at Willys is really nice, and we were glad we stayed at the quiet end of White Beach. It's easy enough to walk or take local transportation the "d*mall" and the rest of the central restaurant and shop area.

The hotel room was fine, and the bathroom very nice. We were disappointed that the patio door led to a shared balcony--no privacy to sit outside at all. The room furniture was disappointing, and worst of all was the bed. The good news is that we had a king bed; the bad news is that the linens and bedspread were sized for a double bed.

The resort didn't provide any written literature in the room about the facilities, so we were on our own to discover what was there. (Found the massage area on our 3rd day there by accident).

Visitors to Boracay should be prepared to wade from the boat to the beach upon arrival, sometimes in thigh-high water. The ramps from boats to beach are less than a foot wide and quite steep. The boat hands are great at helping people in and out, but if the waves are at all big, it can be a little challenging for the less sure-footed to get from boat to land or vice-versa.

We spent 10 days at Boracay Feb 2004, and we stayed at Willy's Beach Resort. We were very happy with the service and friendly staff at the hotel. Rooms very very average but to that price we knew just about what to expect so it wasn't a surprise. Ask for a room on the 2nd floor. Best part was that the location of the hotel its on the end of the busy beach promenade with all shops etc. and in the beginning of the mpre quiet and tranquil part of the beach, next to the more classy hotels. So if you are looking for a good deal and do not need 4-star facilities, I would highly recommend this place! Don't miss dinner at the restaurant Pier 31! Lovely...

All the reviews posted here reflects the excellent experience we had at Willy's. From the initial reservation contact to the final transer at Kalibo, Willy's took care of its guests.

Willy's is one of a handful resorts that will greet you at Kalibo airport and help you with the transfers and luggages. The resort representative Ruel made his guest feel welcomed once you arrive in Kalibo. Ruel was with us the rest of the way to Willy's and arranged the transfers and baggage porters so that I did not have to deal with it. I knew I was on vacation once I saw his smiling face. No worries at that point.

Willy's also had a private vehicle pick us up at the Boracay boat station. You should have seen the faces of other hotel guests when they saw us board a small SUV and they were riding a tricycle to their resort. I don't know if this was a perk of booking directly with them and buying the transfer with Willy's, but it was good!

The resort itself was fairly new and well maintained. The biggest advantage here is that it was oceanfront and was really near the nice resorts in Boat Station 1. The rooms were clean, and the bathrooms were well appointed. The shower was a full body shower with multiple jets and good water pressure. A small fridge was a nice touch to keep your bottled water and drinks cold. An in-room safe was available for you to use. The housekeeping staff was friendly and was quick to respond for extra towels or pillows.

The restaurant was good and was always good for in-house dining. With so many food choices in Boracay, finding a good place to eat was never a problem. If you wanted to save money, Andok's Chicken was a short walk from Willy's and even had a complete breakfast for P49 (approx. $1 USD)!

Sir Willy was even there when we stayed. You would not think he owned the place since he was doing grounds maintenance and gardening. He was a true gentleman and thanked you personally for staying at his place.

We booked this hotel based on our friends personal recommendation. We owe them many thanks for helping us find this little paradise in lovely Boracay. It was hard checking out of Willy's, but Ruel was with us again on the way back to Kalibo. Making the departure a little less painful.

Thanks to Sir Willy, Ruel and everyone at Willy's resort. Yes, even the beach vendors were nice at Willy's!
