Budget friendly hotel and the staffs are approachable as well. Room was clean but the lights were a bit dimmed for my liking. Strategic location just few minutes away from the main road and 5-10misn walk to the beach.

Enjoyed my stay at FatJimmy. It's affordable, near to D'Mall and accessible to Watsons, Restaurants, long beach and Bank. Will definitely recommend this. Not expensive but had a great stay at their hotel. It's clean. Thank you for making my vacation extra special!

It was a nice place, with approachable and friendly staff, offered a clean room, a few minutes walk to the beach, and accessible to the D'Mall Palengke and Restaurants. The Downside is the noisy airconditioned of the establishment next door, but NOT all the time.

What I love about the place is that it is close to everywhere you want to go. Closest to main road, D Mall Palengke and a few minutes walk if you want to go to the beach. We availed the superior family room which saves us a lot of money since it can accomodate 5 of us in one room, enough space for all of us. Staffs are also accomodating and friendly. One thing you need to take note is that you will pass by a garbage disposal, although, it doesn't have a stinky smell so a good job for the people in Boracay for storing their garbage properly. Areas for improvement would probably their wifi connection. We were at the 3rd floor and their wifi can only reach the balcony. There's no wifi inside the room. Please have a wifi extension. Overall, I would still go back to Fat Jimmy's Resort. Great location, very affordable, good staff. Highly recommended.…

my family stayed here overnight on our last day in Boracay, we decided to book here because of a vlog I watched and because of the reasonable price. we had a harrowing experience in the first hotel we booked for 2 nights and our trip almost got ruined, but once we set foot in Fat Jimmy's everything immediately became better, from the time we were greeted by the staff with their smiling faces. they were very helpful and always went out of their way to assist us during our stay (shout-out Kay ate Arlene, ate jannah & kuya butch!). we were allowed to check in early at 12nn without any additional charge. the room was very clean, spacious and smelled good, the hotel had a very homey ambiance which my parents especially liked. my parents are quite hard to please but this place exceeded their expectations. the location is also ideal, walking distance to white beach and d'mall which had many food options, so it didn't really matter if there was no free breakfast. only downside was the entrance to the resort is beside a garbage dump but this is unavoidable because it was right next to d'mall palengke (just wear face mask so you don't smell it). but we will definitely come back here when we visit Boracay again.…

I had a bit of difficulty getting responses from them via chat and email. Then I discovered their main mode of communications is through landline and chat. I never had issues when I got their. Their rooms are clean. I am allergic to all forms of dust and storage mites, and I never had allergies - that is proof enough! I love this place, and will definitely book this every year!

Excellent and very accommodating/friendly staff.Comfy and close to everything Can be easily reached and most of the Boracay and sights are nearby. The room was comfortable and I'm a big fan of bathroom structures, they are very practical altogether.

Had the whole room for myself during my 2 nights stay. Clean and walking distance to the beach. For the price I paid 1800 for 2 nights the customer service was the best. The staff are very attentive to your needs (turning on the fan, providing an extension cord etc). Its like they are watching you to know your needs and preempt you before asking. Will definitely return here if looking for a budget friendly but safe, clean and good location property to stay at Boracay
