My first boracay trip was in summer 2005. Originally my friends and I were supposed to stay in one hotel and since their first hotel was already fully booked, my friend arranged Fat Jimmy's Resort for us to stay. Am thankful that she booked this hotel for us because it is way better than the resort they were staying plus... More

We had a wonderful stay at Fat Jimmy's Resort just days ago. Package we bought was worth it! Thanks to Plejee.com and Cheche of Fat Jimmy's for the great vacation :) The resort staff were helpful, accommodating, receptionist was always smiling and very honest & friendly. The room we stayed at (#208) was a Superior Room with Bath Tub. This... More

I stayed at Fat Jimmy's for 2nights and I have slept well. The only problem that I didn't like is the location of their resort. It is in front of the main road, and you have to like walk for 10 minutes going to the beach. There are two ways on how you can reach the beach, one is by... More

If you are looking for a place to stay in the beautiful island of Boracay, Fat Jimmy's is definitely worth a try. We got a standard room good for 2pax for P2,500/night with breakfast. The room was nice and clean but what annoyed me was the interior design of the cr. It looked messy. But at least the heater worked.... More

We just need a place where we can leave our things, take showers, and sleep for two nights. We were given a 3d/2n accommodation with breakfast for only P2000 per person in our group, really cheap, so we made the downpayment right away. LOL. Location is good because it's far from the beach front, we can sleep well without hearing... More

Room: Last July 2009, I had a wonderful vacation at boracay with my fiance. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days at fat jimmy's resort. Fat jimmy from outside seems to look native. They have small landscape infront of their restaurant that really looks nice. You can also see bamboo designs anywhere. When we get inside, The lady in... More

We stayed at Fat Jimmys during the peak of Feb 2008 (Chinese New year). Booking was easy and replying to emails were fast. I was given a family room for the price of a 2 double beds accomodation. It is a small hotel with a native setting. The accomodation includes daily bfast for 3 of us. It is abt 5... More

The resort is located behind the shops, and away from the beach. However, you can walk either using the back lane or the front street (through D'mall) to get to the beach. The location is not wonderful since it is located just next to the dump, thus obscuring any good view. However, it is value for money. One night of... More

Fat Jimmy's is a relatively reasonable place to stay if you're on a budget. Five of us stayed in one room and it was just enough for us to enjoy the Boracay experience. If you are not planning to hang out your room the whole day and would just need a cozy and safe place to stay for rest, this... More

If I could rate this negative, I would. This place is not worth it. First, it's behind the market, so you'll have to pass garbage and anything else that stinks to get to the beach. You try to hang out outside to have some drinks and you get eaten by the mosquitoes. They don't have ice available, you have to... More
