PROFILE OF THE RESORT
Fridays Boracay is a AAA accredited, self contained 40 native cottage-style rooms resort. We have a freshwater swimming pool, a beachfront bar, and a 120-seat capacity restaurant considered by many to be the finest in the island.
The rooms are in a garden setting arranged around a beach courtyard and the swimming pool. All rooms are distinctly native with Filipino styling – quaint yet with modern conveniences like split-type airconditioning, hot & cold potable water, DVDs, cable TV, IDD & NDD telephone, fully stocked mini bar, deluxe guestroom amenities, abaca slippers, evening turn-down services, native hammocks, individual Electronic Safety Deposit Box, and private verandah.
In 1982, the first two cottages of Fridays Boracay were built. The name “Fridays” comes from the story of Robinson Crusoe. Robinson was shipwrecked on a lost island and was surprised to meet a native young boy whom he named Friday after becoming his constant companion.

"Paradise in the Philippines"
Trip Advisor, Scotin Singapore, 07 April 2008
My wife and I (and 8 year old child) have just got back after staying 8 nights at this wonderful, wonderful resort. The Friday's website does not do this resort justice, it is even more fabulous in real life. We splashed out and paid for a deluxe suite, I had reservations about paying so much for a hotel in the Phillipines but it was worth it... a very beautiful and extremely large room. But the rooms do not make the resort, it is the perfectly relaxing atmosphere that is given off by its design and by the staff members and off course...the most beautiful location on the most fabulous beach. It is paradise. We have no complaints whatsover, if you want to cry about the relative extra cost then go somewhere else but you will miss out on the Friday's experience.
"Fridays has the best beachfront"
Trip Advisor, Angel from NR, 05 April 2008
It was our first time in Boracay and we had a wonderful time at Fridays. Simply the best of everything -- beachfront, food & customer service. We had a deluxe villa and the size is roomy for a couple with a child. The entire facility is clean and well-kept. It's a little bit pricey as compared to others, but you won't regret it. You'll get your money's worth...But the next time we'll stay, we'll ask for a room on the 2nd floor. Why? We stayed on the first floor and we could hear the heavy footsteps or may be some kids running around from the 2nd floor...quite annoying but bearable. But other than that, I would say we still had a great time...
"Fridays ist ein Paradies"
Franz_Lieber, Switzerland 8. Mai 2007
Ich bin froh, dass meine Verlobte das Fridays für die Osterferien gebucht hat. Es war der beste, friedlichste, sauberste und bequemste Ort, weit ab vom Trubel, der im Zentrum Boracays herrscht. Wir haben in einer der neuen Villen am Hügel übernachtet, mit Blick aufs Meer und ich muss sagen, dass dies eine der besten Suiten war, die ich jemals gesehen habe. Das Badezimmer ist größer als ein Standardzimmer in so manchen Hotels. Ich habe die Gegend abgesucht nach guten Restaurants, aber wir sind immer wieder ins Fridays zurückgekehrt. Ein großes Danke an die freundlichen und professionellen Angestellten im Fridays, sie haben zu der wunderbaren Erinnerung an diese Reise beigetragen.
"Fridays ist führend!"
Ein TripAdvisor-Mitglied, Dusseldorf 30. Jan 2007
Mein letzter Besuch im Fridays lag 6 Jahre zurück und ich war froh letzten Monat nochmal die richtige Entscheidung getroffen zu haben. Ich hatte für zwei Wochen gebucht und über mein Reisebüro einen guten Preis erhalten. Bei Ankunft kamen mir die meisten Gesichter bekannt vor und einige erkannten mich sogar. Die Anlage hat sich beachtlich verbessert. Neue Badezimmer, gut instand gehaltene Zimmer, Breitband-Internetverbindung und kostensloses Wireless Lan in der ganzen Hotelanlage. Ich hatte die Möglichkeit mir eines der neuen Zimmer anzuschauen und ich war von der Größe und dem Luxus sehr beeindruckt. Es sind die schönsten Zimmer, die ich je gesehen habe, das Hotel ist jetzt luxuriöser als je zuvor. Auch das Essen hat sich sehr verbessert und ist immer noch das Beste auf der Insel. Die Zimmer haben wunderbare neue Decken und der Service ist ausgezeichnet. Der Strand beim Hotel ist der sauberste und sicherste der ganzen Insel, da er von einem Team mindestens dreimal täglich gesäubert wird. Ich hatte Zeit und habe mir andere Hotelanlagen auf der Insel angeschaut, viele, über die auch auf dieser Webseite berichtet wird, und muss sagen, dass keine dem Friday nahe kommt. Dasselbe gilt auch für die Restaurants, nur das Aria ist in Ordnung, alle anderen sind nicht sehr professionell, in einigen kann man nicht einmal Kokos- oder Mangosaft bekommen und der Service ist miserabel. Das Fridays ist der einzige Ort wo ich auf Boracay sein möchte, man fühlt sich in die alten Tage Boracays zurückversetzt, sehr professionell, moderner Service und ab von lautem Verkehr und Einkaufszentren, die man im mittleren Teil des Strandes vorfindet.
