This hotel is very classy, artsy, charming and nice, right on the beach with genuinely friendly and helpful staff. Their breakfast menu is very limited, but they will make anything you ask for as long as they the ingredients.

But, if internet access is important to you, you might want to consider some other place, as their connection is completely unreliable. As everyone else, they blame this on their internet provider, but very often it is actually their wireless router causing the problems. The internet connection also always seem a lot more stable if you go to any of the restaurants with WiFi on White Beach.

That being said, otherwise the hotel is perfect! I cannot imagine there are any better hotels in this price range on Boracay!

Stayed at Artista for 6 nights in October. It was fantastic hotel in a great location.
We had room 7 which had a terrace overlooking the beach which made for great sunsets (and sun rises if you wake up early enough). The rooms are clean and tidy, the breakfasts are great and all the staff are so helpful and kind, from the guys and girls how work there to the couple who manage the hotel.
The location cant be faulted. Its away from the bustle of the main town but either a cheap trike trip or walk along the beach when you do head in to town - transport to and from was always easy to get, just round the corner from the hotel. The beach there is perfect, with sandy seabed over most of it and also a coral reef (not amazing condition) for a spot of snorkling. We also got a boat ride one day, which one of the hotel guys (Mel) organised for us very quickly.
Overall the hotel is great and its the perfect location for a relaxing beach trip with all the adrenalin / activities and busy town restaurants and shops a quick and easy 5 min trip away.
Thanks for a fantastic stay. Pete/Jac

I have stayed at Artista twice already and I will return again for all the great reasons!

Located in a quiet area of Boracay, in a cove called Diniwid. Within easy walking distance to station 1 where all the action happens.

The hotel is boutique and so private that it feels so calm and very relaxing. The bedrooms are immaculate! The linens, toiletries and the simple but tasteful design of the rooms are unbeatable!

The service is excellent! Staff are very friendly and every so accommodating.

We stayed in this place after two nights in the "Boracay West Cove" which was highly recommend b y so many. In short: we should have stayed all found nights in Artitista and skipped the overrated West Cove.

This place is everything an island retreat should be. Great location on a quiet beach, very well managed by friendly and attentive staff. Clean rooms with very comfortable beds. A simple breakfast and transfer from a to the hotel arranged and included in the price.

It's not a 5 star luxury resort, but as simple beach getaways go, it doesn't get much better than this.
