The hotel is located only 100 m away from a less crowded White Beach area south of Station 3. The rooms are clean and the staff is really nice and helpful. Bars and Restaurants are just around the corner. Fantastic stay for a good price !

I stayed at the Island Jewel Inn through The Beach Mediation yoga and meditation course package. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms, the quality of the breakfast and how incredibly helpful and friendly the staff where. Although it it just back from the beach, it offers a nice space to relax in your own time, and the beach is a 1 minute walk down the road. The rooms where very spacy, very very clean and although not too luxurious, perfect accomodation within my budget. On my final day there was a typhoon, and all transport had been cancelled off of the island. The staff where very helpful in keeping up to date with the coast guard warnings and even reserved my room for one extra night (without me first asking) as they knew there wouldn't be anywhere else for me…

We booked a standard room but since there was no available, they upgraded and provided us a deluxe room which made us even more happy and excited. The room was so spacious for us and we have our own balcony, fridge, and sala inside the room. The staff were also thoughtful when they greeted my wife with the folded towels saying happy birthday. Located was really good, just walking distance to the beach and to other places like stores and restaurants. Also, we enjoyed the place because it was not too crowded unlike in other stations of the island. Definitely recommending to anyone who is looking for an affordable stay in Boracay.

Great value for boracay, good location right by the beach, umbrellas and beach towels to use for free, nice room with fridge and daily room cleaning, decent shower with shower curtain, friendly helpful staff. Glad we didn't get breakfast included as places like sunny side cafe do amazing breakfast. Only negative was that when there was an island-wide power cut for the whole day this place doesn't have a generator so no WiFi and no hot water, however they gave us a free breakfast to compensate which was good of them! If it had a generator this place would be perfect for the price

Very nice room for a very reasonable price, staff were very friendly and helpful, only one negative is they don't have their own generator so if there's a power failure you do have to go without things but other than that personally I'd recommend

I stayed at the Island Jewell for 6 nights with my girlfriend recently. For what you pay for the room's it is an absolute gem, from the spacious suite that we had, the air con worked perfectly, the wifi worked well in my room, yes there was a couple of brown outs, but for one they didn't last long and secondly it wasn't their fault. The service here from their staff is second to none. Very family orientated atmosphere is provided by them at all times. Nothing is ever a problem with them right up to advising where to do your laundry along with organising tours for you through the local guides, you get a better experience and you don't pay the exorbitant fees charged by the major tour companies. Another benefit I got from this place was they organised for me a faultless transfer…

The Island Jewel Inn is a cosy family run hotel with a little garden, located just off a quiet side street, and not far from the beach Station 3. I was happy to learn that the Island Jewel Inn actually is at the end of Station 3 which means you can avoid the crowds. I enjoyed my excellent stay also so much because the staff was very helpful, warm and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. Definitely recommended!

Nice, clean, quiet aircon room, near beach. Walking 2 km to the "busiest" part of the beach. Tricycles did not drive in the front door, you had to walk app 100 m. Breakfast included, one egg, coffee or tee, two slices of bread, butter and jam.

Great Value for your money. Pros: Very Quiet area Clean hotel Very friendly staff Budget friendly 2min walk from beach Cons: Older hotel Sparse breakfast Away from everything No view of beach Long walk from main road Shared balconies It's a budget hotel so don't expect much. We were hardly in the room so it served us well. We're a gay couple and felt welcomed there. They even had a nice welcome sign with my name on it. You can request a private balcony but there's still no view. You just face trees. I'd recommend this place to someone who's on a budget, wants friendly staff, clean sheets, and basic amenities. They're very responsive on email and accommodated all my needs, even a very late checkin. You're in station 3 so you're far away from a lot of happenings but it was…
