Daves is an excellent place with the feel of a bed and breakfast. The rooms were impressive for such low rates!!!! Super clean and attended daily. The whole place is surrounded by a garden. It is Just Awsome!!!!!!! IF you are looking for a quiet,cosy, private place away from the noise and comotion of the partys etc.....Daves is the place, and its a few seconds walk from the beach. The staff are wonderfull and super friendly even freckles was very accomodating. The food was great in taste and price, i was quite impressed with the quality almost gourmet, you will be amazed what comes out of such a small kitchen. Absolutely Happy with my experience. Daves Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you guys soon.

We had a great stay at Dave's. The staff treats you like family. Anything we needed they helped us. The staff is awesome. Our daughter loved Jenny. Dave and Janet are there everyday as well. It is so nice to feel so at home when you travel half way across the world. The rooms are very clean. The grounds are beautiful. It truely is a hidden gem. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a very reasonable priced, family friendly place to stay.

I cannot say enough about this place. I have travelled all over the world and have not met a friendlier staff anywhere. I will definately be returning to stay next year. The property is maticulously maintaind and very safe with a guard on duty every night. Dave and his staff were not only very helpfull with my travel and excursion needs but became great friends.

After we had to wait a few days to fly to Boracay because of a Taifun, we finally arrived at Dave's Straw Hut Inn and we got a very warm welcom and a great stay there.
Dave's Straw Hut Inn is a very relaxed, quiet place, the bungalows are clean and the staff very helpfull.
We definitely enjoyed our stay there and we look forward to visit Boracay and Dave's Straw Hut Inn again.

“Great!”

Dave's Straw Hat Inn

Jun 30, 2008

It's was nice and cozy. Our rooms and premises were kept clean. While we were there, Boracay was hit by the typhoon Fengshen. The staff was very friendly and helpful; they tried to keep us updated with whatever info they were able to gather about the situation. I only wished they would pave the road from the beach to the inn. When it rains it gets muddy and hard to keep your feet from getting wet and dirty.
