Lanterna Hotel Boracay

A real hidden gem for food. The octopus carpaccio, beef ravioli, and marinara pasta were amazing, and the service was great too. It’s some of the best Italian food I’ve had anywhere, and easily the best on Boracay. A must-go.

We planned to stay three nights at Lanterna, but after just five minutes we decided to extend. The studio was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable, including a little kitchen, a nice sofa, and a super-comfy bed. The staff were attentive and happy to help with our requests. We also had a lovely chat with Luigi, the owner, about the place and island life. And Ciro and Lucy were the sweetest furry friends to cuddle with in the morning. We’d recommend staying here to anyone visiting the island. Thank you for a wonderful stay! It all started with an amazing lunch. I couldn’t believe how delicious the pesto was, it reminded me so much of my mum’s.

I spent 10 days here and it felt so homey. The Wi-Fi was good, so I could work without any issues, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing too. I loved my stay and would come back. If you want to get away from busy, noisy Boracay, this is the place.

Dinner at Lanterna Restaurant was a dream during my time in Boracay. The food was incredible, easily the best meal I’ve had on the island. Luigi, the owner, made us feel so welcome, and you can see how much he cares in both the service and the quality of the dishes. A well-earned five stars!
