We have stayed in many hotels, including the faux-hotels, but Boracay Tropics Resort Hotel, located in Station 2, Boracay Island, Aklan, breezed to our top five favorites. I have stayed there three times this year and each time was great!
It's in the details, I'd always say. The "little" touches create the best impact and leave the most lasting impression. I take my hat off to BTRH's owners Bert and Cely Sarabia for their diligence, class and Christian values. These are evident in their staff members' high morale and sunshiny smiles, their hotel's elegant rooms and facilities and the efficiency of their hotel's operations.

My hubby and I love the rainforest showerhead in every bath and the bidet in every toilet. This is Asia, after all, and (1) water is scarce in many places, thus, a shower is a luxury, much more a rainforest shower and (2) we do use a tabo -- a plastic dipper to wash our behinds with in the absence of a bidet. These two amenities are sadly absent in a lot of hotels -- even major ones here and overseas -- we've stayed in. My sis even brings her own miniature tabo when checking in at hotels. Who knew?
The bath towels are lush, clean and smell of Downy. I may be wrong, of course. It could be Vernel. And the beds! Firm mattress, crisp white linen (I didn't get to check the thread count) and enough fluff on the pillows to give us a good night's rest without the stiff neck in the morning.
Best of all, its just that feeling of clean all around. You know it, smell it and feel it the moment you enter any place or establishment. And the friendliness of the staff just adds that sweet icing to our very comfortable stay. Aaaah, paradise indeed!
