Your Guide to the Guest Friendly Hotels in Subic Bay

All the guest friendly hotels stated in this short list are located in Subic, along or within walking distance of Barrio Barretto’s nightlife and girly bars action. These establishments are all very popular with like minded visitors so you don’t have to worry about having any hassles bringing back a guest up to your room at night as long as you make sure she has some proper ID with her. All offer great value for the money and good service while the rates themselves can greatly vary anywhere from budget to 5 star luxury.

So, Where is the action at in Subic Bay?

As far as the Subic Bay scene goes, the Barrio Barreto is the place to be. This area has the highest concentration of western orientated strip clubs and is conveniently located only a 5 minute trike ride from Baloy beach, a cool spot to relax and hang the daytime or enjoy a drink at one of the floating bars.

But just what is a Subic Bay guest friendly hotel?

A hotel that is considered guest friendly, bargirl friendly or girl friendly simply means that the establishment will allow and won’t charge any extra to take back an unregistered guest up to your room. Quite a few hotels in South-East have a bad habit of adding a “joiner fee” to your bill and these can cost anywhere around from 10 to 25$ a night depending on their policy. So if you unknowingly book a non-guest friendly hotel and plan on taking a lady back up to your room every night then you’re going to be paying a lot more money unnecessarily or worst outright denied her entry. I have taken the time to e-mail them all personally to make sure about their policy and have given their reply with the hotel description.

Your Guide to the Guest Friendly Hotels in Puerto Galera

All the guest friendly hotels stated in this list are located in Puerto Galera, along or within walking distance Sabang’s nightlife and girly bars action with one the exception: the Badladz Resort (which is just a 150 PHP motorbike ride away). These establishments are all very popular with like minded visitors so you won’t have any hassles bringing back a guest up to your room at night as long as you make sure she has some proper ID with her. All offer great value for the money and good service while the rates themselves can greatly vary anywhere from budget to 5 star luxury.

So, Where is the action at in Puerto Galera?

As far as Puerto Galera’s nightlife goes, Sabang is the place to be. You’ll find around 6 or 7 girlie bars (often self-described as discos) along the main drag with anywhere from 30 to 50 dancers each and numerous smaller bars along the beach. While the selection is much more limited than in Angeles City, being near the ocean is a big plus since Puerto Galera has some really nice beaches and excellent diving opportunities to offer for those also looking for daytime activities. Getting here from Manila by bus or mini van takes around 3 hours (boat included).

But just what is a Puerto Galera guest friendly hotel?

Atlantis Dive Resort Puerto Galera

Room Rate: $$ - $$$$

Hotel Amenities:

Central location right on Sabang beach close to the bars

Beautifully laid out Resort

Nice swimming pool

Great option for divers who want to mix underwater day time activities with mongering

Winner of TripAdvisor's 2019 Certificate of Excellence Award

Flintstones-inspired design of rooms probably not for everyone

Less appealing to non-divers

No rooms service

Lots of stairs to reach top levels

No elevator

Not a beach to write home about

Location

Located right on the beachfront and just a few minutes walk to the naughty nightlife

Review

The Atlantis is one of the better guest friendly options in Puerto Galera. The resort is built up on the hill side just along the Sabang beachfront, grounds are immaculate with beautiful landscaping scattered throughout, all the tropical plants and trees are meticulously cared for everyday by the gardeners. Most of the rooms are located at higher levels while the restaurant, bar and dive shop are located right at the beachfront.

The Atlantis is particularly appealing for divers who want to enjoy some underwater activities during the day time. They have a very well run dive shop and 90% of the sites are within a 10 minutes boat ride. Once the sun goes down the girly bars and nightlife are just a 5 minutes walk away. Entire staff are warm, friendly and professional.

Hotel Amenities:

New modern resort with top notch facilities

Right on the beach in a quiet and peaceful area of Puerto Galera

Winner of TripAdvisor's 2019 Certificate of Excellence Award

Need a 10 minutes trike ride to get to the girly bars area of Sabang

Standard and Deluxe rooms are very small

Older resort

No rooms service

Location

Located on a private beach 6km away from the naughty nightlife of Puerto Galera

Review

The Badladz Beach Resort is a great option for those who want to experience a more relaxed and chill atmosphere during their stay in Puerto Galera with a private beach right on their doorsteps a bit outside of the Sabang nightlife area. Facilities include a swimming pool, great sunbathing lawn up front with loungers and hammocks overlooking the bay and a great Mexican restaurant. Staff and owners on location are genuinely friendly and very professional.

Location wise, Badladz is about equal of distance from nightlife of Sabang and White beach. This is the only property in my list that does require a 10-15 mins trike/motorbike ride into Sabang. Highly recommended for those who don't mind the ride into Sabang at night!

Lalaguna Villas Luxury Dive Resort is located on a tiny strip of sand in a quiet area of Sabang about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the pier and nightlife. Resort is modern and you can notice directly that a lot of money has been spent on the facilities, rooms vary in size but are all of a very nice standard. Keep in mind that Lalaguna Villas is built up a hillside and while most of the facilities are on the ground level, some top level rooms can be a steep walk to climb up to. Facilities include a pool, sunbathing area, open air dining area, dive center and cocktail bar.

Manarra Sea View Resort

Room Rate: $$$ - $$$$

Hotel Amenities:

Modern resort set in Mediterranean style with peaceful ambiance

The views over the bay are stunning

Rooms are bigger than average starting at 40 square meters

Nice pool and bar area

You have to to climb around 10 steps to enjoy the view from the restaurant or top level rooms

No elevator

Not the biggest of pools

Location

Located in a quiet area 5-10 mins walk from the girlie bars of Sabang, Puerto Galera

Review

The Manarra Seaview Resort is another of the newer properties that have popped in Sabang recently, it's located a bit outside from the main drag so a great when you just want to relax away from the crowds in a peaceful ambiance. The look of the place is quite Mediterranean, definitely a nice place to stay, panoramic views seen from the restaurant and some of the higher level rooms over the sea are stunning. However, as there is no elevator this comes at a price of about 100 or so steps. Rooms are quite big, smallest starting at 40 sqm. The restaurant and staff are 1st class, pool and bar were also great with comfortable loungers and towels. Overall very good for the price as long as climbing stairs doesn't faze you out.

Mermaid Resort

Room Rate: $$ - $$$$

Hotel Amenities:

Very central location close to the nightlife and beach, 2-5 minutes walk from everything

Clean and well equipped rooms

Nice little pool inside to cool off on a hot day

Staff are all friendly and very accommodating

Located on the main road so you will heard the cars and bikes

Free Wi-Fi is mostly slow in the rooms

No elevator

Location

Located dead close to all the action just a short 2-5 minutes from the beach and nightlife

Review

The Mermaid Resort enjoys an ideal location close to the action but just far enough from the noise so you can get some peace and quiet during the night. It is steps away from public and private transportation (trikes, motorbikes) if you want to explore the better beaches of Puerto Galera such as White beach. The service is top notch with very clean and well equipped rooms: Safe, Cable TV, Good A/C, marble bathroom, very reasonably priced mini bar that that allows actual use doubled by a nice balcony to sit and enjoy that cold one, Wi-Fi is available for free but was mostly slow in the rooms.

Common areas are very clean, pool is great, restaurant serves a variety of local and international cuisine that's good and always served with a smile, staff are all friendly and accommodating, The owners also run Mermaid Diving if you want to do some daytime activities. Overall hard to find much to complain about the resort for the price, be aware the hotel is located right next to the main road so you will hear motorcycles and cars pass by.

Guest Friendly Policy

Guest Friendly policy reply by Mermaid Resort: "Mermaid Resort’s accommodation is basically for double occupancy. If ever you will check-in alone and later you will have a companion, there will be no extra fee for that. However, if there will be a 3rd person in the room, there will be US$10 per night extra charge".

Location

Located on the beachfront just 5 minutes from the nightlife in Sabang

Review

The Mermaid Resort is a small and very affordable eco-friendly hotel with just under 30 rooms. Located is very good, right on the seafront in a quiet area near the end of the small strip of sand that makes up Sanbang beach. The resort, while not new has been completely renovated over the past few years and the new owners have done a really great job.

Rooms have a homey feel and are cozy and clean. The space and the furnishing are really good for the price. The swimming pool, bar and restaurant are all at the beachfront so it's a great place relax and enjoy the soothing sea views. The staff are very friendly and attentive to the needs of their guests.

Oriental Sabang Hill Resort

Room Rate: $ - $$$

Hotel Amenities:

Very relaxing vibe at the resort built along the hill side

Pool, bar and restaurant

Spectacular views over the bay right from your room terrace

Good value for money

Free breakfast limited to toast and jam with coffee

Slow Wi-Fi

Water pressure in the rooms

Amount of steps could be a problem for older/disabled people

Location

Located on the Hillside just 5-10 minutes from the girly bar area of Sabang

Review

The Oriental Sabang Hill Resort is a friendly and well appointed hotel nestled along the hills at the very edge of Sabang beach. There are quite a few steps to negotiate before reach the resort but that effort is rewarded with stunning view of the ocean and surrounding island, vibe is very relaxing, lots of greeneries around, every room comes with a private little terrace with table and chairs from where you can enjoy the views.

Pool is small but really nice to have during the hottest hours of the day, restaurant and bar are good value. In terms of negative feedback, the free breakfast is a bit of a joke, just coffee with toast and jam so you'll most likely have to order a real one if you hungry. Water pressure is not great but other than that very little to complain about, good value for money for the views alone.

Rooms are simple but clean and well maintained, all the basics are covered: There is a queen size bed, fridge , cable TV, free Wi-Fi, safe and air con that open up on a big shared balcony.

No restaurant served food on site but the staff will be happy to order in anything of your choice, all the bars and restaurants are really just a short walk away anyways. Overall a nice little resort with limited facilities but offering clean rooms, a central area, good service in quiet place.

Seashore Beach Resort

Hotel Amenities:

Resort is location at the quiet end of Sabang beach

Swimming pool is nice and refreshing

Restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices

Friendly and competent staff

Some standard rooms could do with renovations

Wi-Fi is super slow

lack of a room safe for your valuables

Location

Located along Sabang beach just 5-10 minutes walk from the bars of Puerto Galera

Review

Seashore Beach Resort is location at the quiet end of Sabang beach just a 5-10 minutes walk from the bars and nightlife of Puerto Galera. The seashore has undergone a series of renovations over the last few years adding some newer bungalows and a swimming pool to their already existing facilities. Rooms are basic but comfortable, all the essentials provided besides the lack of a room safe for your valuables. Depending of the floor you can enjoy a small terrace/balcony outside with a bamboo sofa and table.

Facilities include a nice and refreshing swimming pool opened from 9AM to 9PM daily and a restaurant with a choice of interior or exterior seating right on the beach. Prices are reasonable, staff are both friendly and efficient. Only negative real negative points besides the lack of a room safe was the super slow wifi. Some of the standard rooms also could do with a refurb otherwise not bad value for money.

Steps Garden Resort

Room Rate: $$ - $$$

Hotel Amenities:

Beautiful Mediterranean-like resort built in the hills

Bungalows and cottages have terraces offering nice views over Sabang bay

Facilites include a great little pool and bar

Awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence

You might have to walk quite a few steps if your cottage is on the top levels

Slow and unstable Wi-Fi

Standard room bathroom could do with a refurb

Location

Located in a quiet area just 5 minutes from the beach and 10 mins from the girly bars

Review

The Steps Garden is a beautiful, Mediterranean-like family owned resort that is made up of a collection of stand alone bungalows and villas that have been spread through the hillside. Standard rooms are not as fancy and a bit more old fashion than the suites but all come with a porch/balcony equipped with table and chairs where you can enjoy beautiful views over the bay and surroundings.

Very nice little pool/bar, restaurant and common areas. Keep in mind you'll be getting a bit of exercise if your bungalow are at the top level since are about 100 steps all the way up. Staff are very attentive and always willing to help. Restaurant is good but a bit pricey. Otherwise all-in-all, good value considering the rate for a 4-star resort, awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Great place to relax during the day outsided the hustle and bustle

First class diving

Awarded Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor

Cheaper category rooms are small in size

Poor Wi-Fi

Pool is very small and often used by people learning to dive

Location

Located 15 mins walk along the sea front or 35 mins by road from the girly bar area

Review

Scandinavian Divers is located on Big La Laguna Beach which is a 10-15 minutes walk from Sabang's wild nightlife and girly bars action. I have no idea why this place is called the Scandinavian divers (Now renamed Scandi Divers) as it's owned and ran by an American guy.

Rooms are very clean and comfortable with A/C, Satellite TV, mini bar, WiFi and a good point to mention, the shower never had any shortage of hot water. There is a Bar, pool and eating area down stairs plus another one up stairs, named the Sky Bar which is also open air giving you options to chose between plenty of sun or shade with Music, TV and a Pool table, just great place to relax and chill.

Review

As you first arrive by boat in Sabang, the 1st thing you to catch your attention will is that weird castle at the top of the hill. Welcome to the Tropicana Castle Dive Resort! I really liked the uniqueness of this hotel, most intriguing aspect is it's architecture with lots of wooden furniture and marble wooden furniture.

Most of the facilities are outdated and in need of TLC, The pool however is nice and clean. Medieval theme continues in the rooms, with large four poster bed, old world furniture and big marble bathroom with shower. Location is very central to the nightlife in Puerto Galera.

Your Guide to the Guest Friendly Hotels in Boracay

All the guest friendly hotels stated below are located on Boracay island and within walking distance of the main disco bars known for it’s bargirl freelance action: Cocomangas, Summer Place, Guilly’s and Club Paraw. The establishments in this list are all very popular with like minded visitors and I have personally taken the time to contact each and every single one of them between October and November 2016 to make sure their guest friendly policy is still in effect. Replies provided by hotel management can be seen at the end of each individual hotels description.

So, Where is the action at in Boracay?

Things are definitely low-key affairs in Boracay, so don’t expect flashy neon lights showing you the way to any of the many strip clubs on the island, they don’t exist. What Boracay does have to offer is a very lively club scene, which also means a very active freelance scene. Though obviously not on the scale of a Manila or Angeles city, the island should have enough bar girls to keep you busy for a while.

Anyone interested in trying out Boracay’s freelance scene should concentrate their time in one of the two most popular clubs: Cocomongas (9PM-10PM onwards in Station 1) and Summer Place (11 PM onwards in Station 2). Girls for hire can also be seen along the beach road at station 2 in various locations hiding in the dark and will approach you as you are walking past them come out of nowhere often 2 or 3 at a time.

But just what is a Boracay guest friendly hotel?

Girl picked up in Cocomangas bar back in my room at Nigi Nigi resort

A hotel that is considered guest or Guest Friendly / Bargirl friendly/ Girl Friendly simply means that the establishment will accept you taking back an unregistered guest up to your room without charging any extra. A joiner fee can cost anywhere around from 10 to 25$ a night depending on the hotel’s policy. So if you unknowingly book a non-guest friendly hotel and plan on taking a lady back up to your room every night then you’re going to be paying a lot more money unnecessarily or worst outright denied entry. This is by no means an indication of their respectability as each hotel has different policies as long as you’re somewhat discreet. I have taken the time to e-mail them all personally to make sure about their policy and have given their reply with the hotel description.

We all hate joiner fees so I’ve been doing my best to put together a list of guest-friendly hotels in Thailand and other countries of Southeast Asia based on my personal experience traveling in the region over the last decade. Since I started this website, I make sure to take a little time off from my various trips to test the guest friendly policy of each individual resort or hotel I visit and add those who are easy going with overnight or short term joiners.

I also add my own pictures of the actual room and amenities with a short review on the place as things are not always as they appear on the booking websites. I hope this guide will bring you some hassle free planning on your future vacations in Asia.

Webmaster

For those hotels & resorts that I haven’t had the chance yet to visit, I personally made sure of their policy by either showing up at the reception, emailing or calling them directly and have included their answers in the description.

Please bear in mind that things change overtime and a guest-friendly Hotel can quickly turn into a non guest-friendly due to change of management so it could occur that some of these hotels may no longer be guest-friendly. To avoid this, inquires about their guest-friendly status will be sent every year with the hotel mailing list I have created to keep tabs on possible changes.

Nigi Nigi is an institution in Boracay and one of the oldest hotels in business on the island. Proof that they keep doing a great job year after year they once again the TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence 2014 award. Located right at the center of all the action on White Beach beachfront, even though it's situated in a very lively spot, all the rooms are very private and on ground level, engulfed by a lush Balinese-style tropical garden making it very quiet and peaceful. While built in native bungalow style the rooms have all the amenities that you could need (TV, A/C, fridge, bathroom, shower and plenty of space). Restaurant serves great food and the beach bar is one of the best! You'll instantly feel like you're in your second home. Summer place, the biggest bar & disco of Boracay is only 5 minutes walk away so it's pretty easy to pick-up a girl like this one until late at night.

Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in October 2012 and reflect their second cheapest room on offer: "The Deluxe room".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Nigi Nigi Nu Noos E Nu Nu Noos: "If it happens that you booked only one person and you want to have an additional one person overnight then it is okay as all our room rates are good for two persons but they have to present their ID at the reception or to our guard on duty for security purposes."

Nigi Nigi Too Beach Resort

White Beach, Station 1, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $$$/$$$$ Amenities:

After spending a week in Nigi Nigi Nu Noos Beach Resort (just above) last year and loving it, I wanted to give a try at their sister resort in station 1 this trip. Nigi Nigi Too Beach Resort is rated even higher and won hands down TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence 2014 award for Boracay with a whopping 95% approval rate so I certainly wasn't disappointing! While the resort retains the original Nigi Nigi traditional decor for the bar and restaurant the huts and gone and give way to modern rooms. Not only is Nigi Nigi Too beach resort located on the most pristine part of White beach right outside Willy's Rock but it has the perfect balance between daytime relaxation on the beachfront and nightlife with Cocomangas, the best spot to pickup bar girls early in the evening less than 5 minutes walk away. Guilly's Island and Club Paraw, other freelance alternatives are also just across the street from it! My deluxe room was pretty big (±40 sqm) and tastefully decorated with a king-sized bed, large LCD TV with a good choice of channels, A/C unit was flawless, great Wi-Fi signal, small but well stocked mini-bar, inside sitting area with a table, same outside on the veranda that's separated by a full sliding glass door with a great view, bathroom was spacious and spotless (shower/no tub), proper Wi-Fi signal and the staff are incredibly friendly. Same with the security guard when I brought back this girl. Price also comes with a free daily voucher for a breakfast that's actually good for a meal anytime of the day. In the end not the cheapest of places but highly recommended for a 5 star experience of Boracay island.

Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in November 2013 and reflect their second cheapest room on offer: "The Deluxe room".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Nigi Nigi Too Beach Resort:"You can bring a joiner as long as she can provide a valid ID, which should be presented and leave in the reception while she is in the room.."

Azzurro Di Boracay

White Beach, Station 3, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $/$$ Amenities:

The Azzurro Di Boracay is one of the cheaper beachfront hotels found on white beach. Resort is relatively small with under 25 rooms so you get an extra level of peace and privacy once inside the enclosed garden that you won't get in bigger resorts. Location is pretty good, just around where station 2 ends & station 3 starts making most of the nightlife accessible on foot but far enough from the bars and clubs to sleep well at night. Summer Place, the biggest disco on the island with the widest selection of girls available is 10 to 15 minutes walk (1.2 KM) away. The Deluxe Room is nothing special, small and basic but clean nonetheless with all the essentials covered: Queen size bed was comfy (not too hard nor springy), small fridge kept my drinks cold, air-con unit doesn't shut off automatically with a key card system so your electronics keep on charging whenever you leave the room, older generation CRT TV had cable, adequate in-room Wi-Fi signal, dresser with storage space, small safe for your valuables and a bathroom with hot and cold shower where towels, soaps & tissues were provided. The Azzurro Di Boracay is attached to a real authentic Italian restaurant with Italian Chef cooking up some great pasta, pizza and fresh grilled seafood, the price is a bit on the expensive side but the food was good. I also loved their coffee selection with some great cappuccino to start off the day with, non of that instant crap like they offer in so many other resorts. No problem neither with the Staff and security guard with me bringing a new bar girl every night. In the end I'd say I got my money's worth staying in this budget hotel as long as you plan onto spending most of your time outside your room it's fine.

Date Last Visited: Pictures above were taken during my last visit in April 2014 and reflect their cheapest room on offer: "The Deluxe Room".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Azzurro Di Boracay: "Hi Mr, yes sir, that will be possible, because our De Luxe room is good for 2 Pax but she needs to provide a valid ID. Thank you, Jenn -Front Desk."

Hey Jude South Beach Resort

White Beach, Station 3, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities:

The Hey Jude South Beach Resort is a lovely all new beachfront property that caught my eye during my last November trip in so I made sure to give it a try this time around. The hotel is located near the end of station 3, one of my favorite places for lazying around at the beach during the daytime hours where the surroundings are still peaceful and quiet compared to the overdeveloped and crowded Station 2. When you do want to sample some of the action or nightlife it's about a 15-20 mins walk to the area where all the bars, shops and restaurants are and 25-30 mins to Summer Place, Boracay's biggest disco with lots of freelancers available for takeout. If you don't care to walk, no problem there are tricycles/tuk-tuk available on a side street less than 5 mins away for drop-off/pickup anywhere on the island. The rooms are modern and clean with all new amenities including: Nice comfy bed, flat-screen TV with great reception and nice selection of channels, mini-bar, electronic safe, Wi-Fi, modern bathroom with free toiletries and the Superior Queen room had large balcony area with a table and chairs and direct view of the beach. FYI: The other available rooms (Standard/Deluxe) are located on the side and have only partial view of the beach. In the end it's not that's big deal of since you can enjoy the same view from the sunbeds a few steps away. The staff is super friendly and helpful had no problems bringing back this girl at night but there is however one DOWNSIDE: They refuse outside massage girls wearing their uniform to come inside their rooms because they have their own blind-massage therapists on location.

Date Last Visited: Pictures above were taken during my last visit in April 2014 and reflect: "The Superior Queen with Sunset View".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Hey Jude South Beach Resort: "Hi there, We allow local girls overnight provided that the local girls present their IDs. Hope to see you! Regards, Julie."

La Carmela de Boracay Hotel

White Beach, Station 2, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities:

La Carmela de Boracay is a budget category beachfront hotel located at the crossroads between station 2 / station 3 close to all the nightlife action. Summer Place, the biggest bar & disco of the island is only 10-15 minutes walk away has the largest selection of bar girls available for pickup as this is where all the freelancers end up when the other venues close or die down around 1-2 AM. La Carmela was first hotel I ever stayed in back in 2007 when this fabulous island was all new to me.. Aaaaaah souvenirs! Anyways I decided to check it out again this year, Initially booked for 3 nights in their main building then returned 2 more night in their "Executive Wing" due to Typhoon Haynan/Yolanda flight cancellations. I found both rooms to be almost identical, here is comparative shot of the room main building VS Executive Wing, the only real difference is could notice was that the executive wing one had a flat-screen TV on the wall while the other in the main building had an older generation TV so unless this is a big deal for you I wouldn't recommend paying extra to stay in the executive wing. Rooms are decent and come furnished with two beds, satellite television with a decent selection of English speaking channels, mini-bar/fridge + in room safe, clean bathroom with shower that had plenty of hot water and a balcony. Free Wi-Fi is only in main area near the lobby, bar & restaurant, paid Wi-Fi is available in room for 100 PHP an hour. Never a single issue with the security bringing back a different girl each and every night so very guest friendly! I found the rates to definitely be of good value for a beachfront property in Boracay in 2013. Agoda periodically shows some good promos for this establishment and if you just happen to stumble on one of them I wouldn't hesitate.

Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in November 2013 and reflect the cheapest room in their Executive Wing (top 2 pictures) while the bottom 2 are taken from the basic main building: "The Standard room".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the La Carmela de Boracay Hotel: I couldn't get an answer from the hotel but I have stayed here quite a few times throughout the years and can assure you that bringing back girls at night is not a problem. You do need to make sure that she has some ID with her as the guard will request it and keep it until she leaves.

La Isla Bonita Resort

White Beach, Station 3, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $/$$ Amenities:

Sandwiched between the Crown Regency and Sands hotel on station 3 La Isla Bonita Hotel is one of the least expensive hotels on White Beach. If you are on a budget or don't want to spend too much this is most likely the best bang for your buck you can get right on the beachfront. I have stayed here on my last three trips and depending of the season a room is generally always somewhere between 25 to 50$. For this price you get a decent no-frills room with clean facilities, A/C, fridge, cable TV. Only complaints is that shower is a bit on the low pressure side and the bedding certainly could be better. The fan rooms are even cheaper but lack a fridge to stock your drinks, safety box and TV. Staff was always very nice and had no problems bringing back a different girl every night.

Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in October 2016 and reflect their second cheapest room on offer: "The Standard Aircon room".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the La Isla Bonita Resort: "Thank you for your email, yes you can bring guest to your room but for safety reason,they have to registered here and present Identification card."

Microtel by Wyndham Boracay

Waterfront, Diniwid, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $$$/$$$$ Amenities:

The Microtel by Wyndham Boracay is tucked away on Diniwid beach, a quiet little cove located just 10 minutes walk north from the beginning of White Beach, the island's main attraction with it’s beautiful 4KM long stretch of sand. Even in Peak season (I stayed here last during the Holy Week 2014) crowds were non-existent and the vibe was very relaxed, sometimes you even felt you had the beach all by yourself. This said depending on the time of the year, the beach directly in front of the resort can shrink to the point of totally disappearing (here is a picture to show what it looked like in April with no beachfront compared to June when it returns) but regardless of the season all you have to do is walk less than a minute to the left to find the beach waiting. The hotel operates a free van shuttle to and from the the island's center (D’Mall) on a hourly basis until midnight, after that you’ll need to get your own ride home that should set you back around 100 PHP. Rooms are clean, modern and are equipped with 2 ultra comfortable queen size beds (I noticed they brag about their chiropractic-approved mattresses on their website but these beds really are great), silent air-conditioning unit, flat-screen TV with lots of channels located on top of the wardrobe, desk area with chair and full-sized bathroom with hot & cold shower and free toiletries. DOWNSIDES: No fridge, No Wi-Fi or a safe inside the room. INSTEAD: An ice machine on the ground level and a water dispenser for hot/cold water on every floor, safety boxes at the front desk and free wifi only available in the public areas. Facilities include a small pool with sun loungers near the beach front as well as a bar and restaurant. Staff was excellent, always smiling and greeting you, security is also fantastic no problem whatsoever with bringing back freelance girls from the discos at night, the Microtel by Wyndham Boracay is very girl friendly even though most of the clientele are couples and families.

Date Last Visited: Pictures were taken during my last visit in April 2014 and reflect their cheapest room on offer the: "2 Queen Beds Room".

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Microtel by Wyndham Boracay: "If the reservation is already good for 2 person, then you arrived only 1 person, there will be no extra person charge if you invite another 1 person".

Nirvana Beach Resort

212 Balabag, Boat Station 2, Boracay, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities:

The Nirvana Beach Resort may not be a beachfront as its name would suggest but the location is pretty convenient. Only a five minutes walk to White Beach (station 2), D'Mall (largest shopping center of the island with shops, restautants, supermarkets) and D'Talipapa (fresh meat & seafood market). The resort offer serviced condominium/apartment type of accommodations. Every individual unit (good for 4 people) is fully furnished and has two bedrooms, a living room & kitchen corner, dining area, 2 bathrooms/toilets with shower and a big veranda. Great place to share with a buddy where you can bring back girls at night where each has his individual room. The Nirvana Beach Resort also has a small pool and bar. Only minor complains is that the free Wi-Fi signal was low at times and that the water pressure wasn't always great but otherwise a very nice place!

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Nirvana Beach Resort: "Good Morning, Each of our units are good for up to 4 guests (included in the room price). Our policy is to register anyone who overnights at the resort. Thanks & Brgds, Trond".

For example, you booked a Deluxe Room and you are the only one who will occupy it, you can bring a person (only 1 person) without charge. But if you happen to bring two in your room, you will pay for the 3rd person. However, deluxe room can only accommodate two persons so if in case there will be three of you in the room, better try the Premier Room.

Isla Gecko Resort

Station 2, Boracay, Philippines

Your Guide to the Guest Friendly Hotels in Manila

(last updated January 2020)

All the guest friendly hotels stated below are located within walking distance of the three main areas of Manila known for it’s bargirl and freelance action: The Ermita & Malate district and Makati. These establishments are all very popular with like minded visitors and I have personally taken the time to contact each and every single one of them as of Febuary 2016 to make sure their guest friendly policy is still in effect. The replies provided by the hotel management can be seen at the end of each individual hotels description.

So, Where’s the action in Manila?

While you can find bars with girls sparsely sprinkled just about anywhere in Metro Manila the biggest concentration is to be found in two main areas. The biggest and oldest is downtown in the Ermita & Malate district where you can find loads of freelancers in one of the many lively bars along M.H.Del Pilar and Mabini street such as L.A. Café (24 hours) and G-spot. The second, only a short cab ride away is located in the more upscale business district of Makati around Burgos Street and is known to have the best looking entertainers and bikini bars of Manila. The prices are accordingly steeper but this is a good place to start for newcomers to the Philippines who will find many similarities with Bangkok’s Soi Cowboy or Nana Plaza.

But just what is a Manila guest friendly hotel?

Best Western Hotel La Corona

The main three freelancer pickup joints: LA Cafe/Manila Bay cafe (400 m), Amazonia (300 m) & G-Spot (280 m) are all in direct vicinity 2-3 blocks away. Cowboy grill (100 m), who has some of the best live gigs of the Philippines is located just on the Mabini corner. I love to drop by there for a few beers with a girl before some good times at the hotel. The rooms are clean and well appointed but a bit on the small side. Bed is comfortable, TV (while not a flat-screen) has a lot of English speaking channels, small fridge keeps the drinks cold, shower has plenty of hot water, in room safe worked great, hot water pot with free instant coffee is available on the table. Only negative point I had this time around is that the AC was a bit noisy at times. Winner of the "Certificate of Excellence 2013" by TripAdvisor, the Best Western Hotel La Corona is still one of the best options out there in Ermita for the price. Very guest friendly joint so had no problem bringing this L.A. Café girl into my room.

Sunny Bay Suites (Formerly Boulevard Mansion)

440 Roxas Boulevard, Ermita, Manila, Luzon, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$ Amenities:

This is one of my favorite hotels in Ermita due to it's very guest friendly policy and location, just a stone's throw from L.A. Café (re-branded a while Manila Bay Café) the biggest venue of the Philippines for freelancers opened 24/7. The other two main Ermita pickup joints are also very near with Amazonia (currently closed) 200 m away & G-Spot 500 m from the hotel entrance. The Studios they offer are budget apartments equipped with a kitchenette that has everything from cooking wares to dining wares, a small dining area, couch corner and beds. Rooms are old and tired so is the furniture but somehow I keep coming back.... On the positive side the prices are generally on the lower end, staff is really great, The free WiFi is surprisingly fast and the TV has plenty of English Speaking channels to recover from a hangover. What I love is also depending what room you got in the hotel you can sometimes see the girls from LA Café on the 2nd floor!

I initially selected this hotel based on other travelers reviews from Tripadvisor. I can tell you that the hotel pictures don't lie. Rooms were recently renovated, clean and comfortable. Over 80 channels on the TV and good A/C while a bit noisy at times if left on high. The Riviera Mansion is only a couple of minutes from LA Cafe (now called Manila Bay Cafe). Will cost you but a couple of dollars for a taxi ride to Makati, Mall of Asia or Greenbelt.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Riviera Mansion: "For security reasons, below is the hotel's joiners policy: Unregistered guest are allowed to stay overnight if accompanied by the registered guest. Only two persons are allowed to stay in the room without additional charge. Unregistered guest has to provide an ID upon entering the hotel premises and to be retrieved upon leaving. The registered guest should call the guard to allow the unregistered guest to leave the hotel".

Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila Hotel

CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard Pasay, Manila Bay, Manila, Philippines

Price Range: $$$$ Amenities:

The room are squeaky clean, spacious and elegant. The bed and pillow really comfy, plus the balcony and the view is really a plus factor, a magnificent view of the pool and the Manila Bay area. The price was much lower than I paid at the Makati Shangri-La' for similar amenities.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila Hotel: "Please be informed that the room can accommodate two (2) Adults and two (2) children below 12 years old. If you will be staying alone in the room and the joiner will just come when you arrive, there will no additional charge. However, please be informed that its the hotel's policy to register the name of the joiner and ID will be checked as well".

Sheraton Manila Bay

M. Adriatico Corner Gen. Malvar Street, Malate, Manila, Philippines

Price Range: $$$$ Amenities:

The Sheraton Manila Bay (Formerly: Pan Pacific) is a pretty good value compared to other genuine five star hotels in Manila, which will easily go for twice the price & up. Check in fast and friendly with welcome drinks. The standard room was roomy and well appointed with a beautiful view of the Manila Bay. The bathroom was also roomy and has a sliding window which divides the bath tub (which has it's own TV) from the bedroom. The room's king size bed was wonderfully relaxing and came with crisp white sheets and down feathered pillows. Comes with complimentary internet access and a big LCD TV. The Pool area was always quiet during my stay with plenty of chairs for sunbathing.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Sheraton Manila Bay: "Good Day! All our rooms can accommodate up to maximum of 2 person at no extra fee. You may of course bring registered guests at your discretion sir. Should you need assistance with your booking, please feel free to contact us at +632 53180788 or email [email protected]."

Guest friendly hotels located in Makati

Makati Palace Hotel

5011 P. Burgos Corner Canceres Sts., Manila, Luzon, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$ Amenities:

Location doesn't get any better than this in Makati! Just on the corner of Burgos street and it's girlie bars, everything you may need is with-in walking distance. My room had a terrific view over Manila and it was quite big. The king size bed was pretty comfortable and despite the heavy traffic noise in the morning I slept well. Minibar prices are ridiculously high but there is a 7-eleven on the corner where you can get everything you need to fill it up at a fraction of the price. In the end I feel for the price of the rooms and prime location, the hotel was very good value for my money. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for cheap affordable accommodation.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Makati Palace Hotel: "Thank you for the interest staying in our hotel. We are the friendliest hotel in Makati, that's why we are allowing joiner to stay with the guest overnight without any charge except that we would be asking a valid identification and need to register for our guest safety. We are looking forward in welcoming you and your guest! Thank you. Best Regards, Shiela".

New World Makati Hotel Manila

Esperanza Street Corner Makati Avenue, Makati, Manila, Philippines

Price Range: $$$$ Amenities:

Hotel is centrally located in the Makati district just to Greenbelt! A place where you can be sure not to be hassled by beggars and peddlers of all sorts in a very secure environment. To keep it short... Everything was perfect, to the soft beds and pillows to the amenities available in the rooms. Great view of the business district from the window. They also have a nice pool, a number of bars and restaurants to choose from and spa services. Only downside is the bathtub that I felt was a bit too small to use if you are a tall sized European (No biggie) and that there was no free WiFi or internet connection.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the New World Hotel Makati Hotel Manila: "Regarding your inquiry for the additional guest, our room only rates are good for 1 or 2 persons. We only require additional charge for the third person which is Php 1000 and Php 1500 if it is with breakfast. Regards, Angelique Abalon, Reservations Department".

Oxford Suites Makati

Durban corner P Burgos Street, Makati, Manila, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities:

Oxford Suites is also located right in the heart of the night life of Makati… Clearly that’s not for families as it’s on the corner of Burgos Street with its go-go bars and all that entails. Room was spacious and clean, the furniture, TV, Air Con and bathroom all in good condition, staff friendly and the food was awesome, I noticed only one minor problems as the water pressure was a bit on the low side..

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Oxford Suites Makati: "Please be advised that we do allow unregistered visitors to stay overnight without additional joiner's fee, but as a standard security measure (especially for the safety of our guests), we recommend a valid ID be left at the security desk".

Royal Bellagio Hotel

5010 P. Burgos Street, Poblacion, Makati, Manila, Philippines

Price Range: $$/$$$/$$$$ Amenities:

The best selling point of the Royal Bellagio Hotel is it's location smack in the middle of Burgos street (Manila's red light district) it just doesn't get any better than this! Room was a bit small but fine for a solo traveler, everything is very clean and well maintained with all the expected basic amenities: Comfortable bed, mini-bar, A/C, TV with a good choice of channels and a very friendly and helpful staff. Only downside I could think of was the missing in room safety box. TIP: Try to get a room higher up to avoid street noise.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Royal Bellagio Hotel "Sir all room are good for 2 persons regarding visitor policy sir its up to you if you want to register her or not for unregistered guest we have to call you every time visitor will leave the room, and she must bring a valid id and register on our VISITORS LOGBOOK.

Peninsula Manila

Corner of Ayala And Makati Avenues Makati City, Manila, Philippines

Price Range: $$$$ Amenities:

The Manila Peninsula is a lovely, well run, top of the line hotel in Makati, the modern central district of Manila. The hotel doesn’t have all the polished opulence of the Hong Kong Peninsula, but Manila’s not HK after all. The rooms are large, very well equipped and attractively decorated. The beds well, once you drop into it you are guaranteed a blissful night's sleep. Everything is clean and everything works perfectly as would be expected by a 5 star establishment. Breakfast is simply outstanding, something I looked forward to each morning.. There is extensive security entering the grounds, which reflects the reality of life in Manila rather than on the hotel. The level of service is typical of any five star Asian hotels.

Guest Friendly policy reply by the Peninsula Manila: "Please be advised that the hotel does not charge joiner fee as long as it will only be for overnight (excluding breakfast) and the name of the joiner will be registered with the Front Desk".

Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences

119 LP Leviste Street, Salcedo Village, Makati, Manila, Philippines

Also, excellent in-room WiFi connection.

Guest Friendly policy reply from the Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences Managed by HII: "Our rooms have a maximum occupancy of 2 adults.
