Spacious 77-sqm villas, a private beachfront, and room for your fur baby.
Puerto Galera is usually associated with busy beaches, packed itineraries, and nightlife. Fridays Puerto Galera offers almost the opposite.
The resort occupies a private 3.8-hectare property on secluded Boquete Island, also known as Paniquian Island. With a boat arrival, private beachfront, and only 24 rooms and suites, the experience feels more like escaping to your own island than checking into a conventional hotel.
The Rooms Are Surprisingly Huge
Fridays Puerto Galera’s villas measure approximately 77 square meters. Each can accommodate up to four adults or two adults with two children, making them particularly practical for families and small groups.
The design combines modern comforts with Filipino island details such as cogon-thatched roofs, bamboo, and capiz shells. Rooms include air-conditioning, a Smart TV, minibar, electronic safe, coffee and tea facilities, and a bathtub with shower.
There are three main choices:
- Fridays Premier Suite: Closest to the dock, restaurant, and front desk. It is also the resort’s most accessible option for PWD guests.
- Premier Sea View Room: Located on the eastern side, with balconies overlooking the pool and bay.
- Premier Forest View Room: Positioned along the quieter southern side, surrounded by trees and landscaped gardens.
Interestingly, upgrading is not mainly about getting a larger room. Recent coverage says the categories share a similar size and configuration, so the more important decision is whether you prefer accessibility, sea views, or a quieter forest-facing location.
Your Fur Baby May Be Able to Join the Escape
Fridays Puerto Galera has also been described as pet-friendly, making its spacious rooms and open island setting appealing to travelers who do not want to leave their dogs or cats behind. Recent guests have specifically mentioned bringing their pets to the resort.
Pet stays appear to be handled upon prior arrangement, and policies differ across booking platforms. Confirm the current pet fee, size restrictions, required documents, and boat-transfer rules directly with the resort before paying.
You May Not Feel the Need to Leave
Beyond the rooms, guests have access to a swimming pool, private beachfront, diving center, in-room massages, and a 120-seat restaurant with an outdoor bar and grill. Coral reefs are found across the main beach, while kayaking, snorkeling, island hopping, and sunset cruises can also be arranged.
This is not the best choice if your Puerto Galera itinerary revolves around nightlife and moving between crowded beaches. But if you want a spacious room, a quieter coastline, and an island setting where your family and pet can settle in, Fridays makes a convincing escape.
