Hotel Review: Taj Guesthouse Boracay

In March 2012, I found myself with a booked flight to Boracay and no place to stay at. So I crossed my fingers and sent an email to Taj Guesthouse, hoping they'd have some vacant rooms. I immediately got a reply with the available rooms and rates. I reserved a room for two for a fair price of two thousand pesos per night.

Taj Guesthouse is located minutes from the D'Mall, in a small alley. The main building is just a few steps from the beach (it's almost beachfront). But since it's a guesthouse, don't expect a pool or a huge lobby. The staff, however, are very friendly, courteous and helpful.

I got a room in the annex building. It's a bit farther than the main building but I didn't mind the short walk. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms Taj Guesthouse has to offer. They can be compared to a 3-4 star hotel with a flat screen cable TV, refrigerator and A/C. My room has a double bed that can comfortably accommodate 2 people. They also provide towels and bath soaps. The only thing I missed was a safety vault.

I have enjoyed my stay so much. Everything was clean and working. Even though it's not a hotel with security guards on duty, it still felt very safe.

Make sure to book in advance if you plan to stay here. It could be very busy especially during peak season. But if you're already in Boracay, there's no harm in checking if they still have available rooms.
