Diniview Villas, Boracay

There are hotels, and then there are places where you feel like home. The slogan of Diniview Villas is “your home in Boracay” and in fact it was what I felt from the moment I arrived. The hotel is located on the top of a hill with a SPECTACULAR view over the famous White beach. […]
