“loved staying here”

Dave's Straw Hat Inn

Jul 26, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

My stay in Dave's was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere fostered by the staff was one of a family environment in which the guests felt like they were staying with a group of relatives during holiday season. Unlike most places where security has to get used to your face just to let you thru the gate, the staff here know you and know you by name from the moment you walk in the door. They can be a guiding hand to first time tourist such as myself or can allow you your own personal space if that's what you prefer, but the point is, they know what they are doing well enough to determine that quite expediently. I know that my experiences were shared by several other guests, because the atmosphere of comradery was such a daily part of my stay there, that I got to know several of my neighbors in other rooms and was able to chat with them and staff on a daily basis. While we all travel for numerous subjective reasons, during a three week stay there I witnessed many types of travelers come and go and the staff at Dave's was able to impress all those I spoke with. I found it impossible to stray away from the resort without breakfast as well, as the lure of breakfast smells in the morning ensured that I enjoyed incredible food on a daily basis. Thank you everybody!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
