If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Station 2 in the heart of Balabag. Spend the afternoon at the beach and head to one of the restaurants for a bite to eat. Catch the sunset by the shore at Bulabog Beach, just a short walk away.
If you like shopping, take time out to go to D'Mall Boracay when in Balabag. Hotels.com travelers also say the area is family-friendly and has lots of nice beaches. Splash some more cash at Budget Mart and Talipapa Market.
If being by the water is a major draw, Station 1 is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Balabag. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Diniwid Beach, Station 2, and Bulabog Beach, located nearby.
"One week stay. Highly recommend Movenpick Resort & Spa Boracay. Staff were very helpful with the airport transfer to the jetty port for a speed boat ride to an awaiting resort van to the resort itself. Check in was a breeze. We were greeted with a cold drink and cold face cloth. Our room was spacious (building 4) and within a very short walk to the restaurant, the beach club bar, the resort pool and restaurants as well as the PRIVATE BEACH. The private beach is definitely a picturesque location for an early morning stroll or swim. The sunsets at the beach is spectacular too. Picture perfect moments are at your finger tips. The staff were cordial from the hotel front desk, housekeeping, restaurant crew, van drivers and security. There were nightly entertainment from singers, dancers and the fire dance show. Breakfast buffet and the overall food served in the Italian restaurant (Breeza) were delicious. Shout out to Miss April Grace and the guest service team. They were very receptive to inquiries and suggestions. Overall, Movenpick is a definite enjoyable spot for a Boracay vacation. Will definitely return."
"Clean room, very accommodating and professional staff, outdoor pools are well kept and the breakfast is very well served. We had a fantastic time and felt so sad leaving! I should have booked a much longer stay next time. I will definitely recommend this resort to all my friends. Thank you!"
"Place was amazing. Room was rally nice. Pool was great, lots of food options at the restaurant. Staff were the best part! Thank You for a great stay!"
"Henan Palm Beach was everything as advertised. If you are flying into Caticlan I would strongly recommend purchasing the transfer directly from Henan as the airport is very small and it gets really hectic exiting. We traveled with 2 adults and 2 11 year old and we got picked up by a bus at airport taken to the boat transfer and transferred to another bus once you get to Boracay. We had no issues with the check in and the grounds were very clean. Staff was always very friendly and professional especially the staff at the morning buffet. We never had issues as security was very vigilant in keeping us safe from any outsiders entering the property. We really enjoyed the sky pool and Henan Palm Beach is located in Station 2 and imo they had the beach with minimal seaweed. It wasn't overly crowded compared to Station 3 properties closer to DMall. Everything is within walking distance as you can explore the many shops and amazing restaurants Boracay beach has to offer. I would definitely recommend doing the Island hopping as my boys swam in the underground coves and we cliff jumped and visited Puka Beach with a little bit of snorkeling. Remember to always negotiate as the first price is never the best price but this is their livelihood so be reasonable. Our private day boat cost us 4000 pesos for us 4 which did not include food or entry to the islands.
You can also walk outside the resort if you need to do laundry which is a lot cheaper than doing with Henan.
5 star"
