Best Boracay hotels for families with kids
1- 7Stones Boracay Suites
Though there are only 29 rooms to choose from, they are great for families in the sense that each room is styled to represent an apartment rather than a classic hotel room. Each room comes with a fully equipped kitchen which serves rather useful for families who don’t want to eat out all of the time. For even larger families, the resort provides a ‘Family Suite’ that comes with 2 bedrooms with the option of twin size beds.
Noted as being on the quieter side of the island, it helps that there is a restaurant on-site, making the need to run into town for a bite to eat unnecessary and easier on families. But for those nights that parents do want to run into town without the kids in tow, there’s a resort babysitting service that can be utilized. Other big pluses are the on-site laundry service and outdoor pool. Due to the low price, this resort seems to stay booked up, which is a great sign.
- High season starting from: US$163 per night
- Low season starting from: US$132 per night
