Having visited Boracay 30 years ago, we went back with trepidation to see if it still had some of that magic. Sadly it was now too overdeveloped for us and looking for alternatives, we came across Carabao Island. The journey there is a ferry from Caticlan, then a tuk tuk from the port. There are boats direct to Lanas beach 3 times a week and probably worth fitting your trip around as it makes it easier. As soon as we got to the Beach House, we knew we'd found the relaxed Borocay vibe from 30 years ago. We had a warm welcome from the staff and owner David, then moved into our room. The room was well appointed, immaculately clean, with very good aircon and comfy bed. Also had nice little touches like dressing gowns. The location is stunning, looking out onto a white beach, with good snorkeling on the reef 30m off shore. The food is great and reasonably priced as are the drinks. They also have good red wine, which we had only found in 1 other place in our travels in the Philippines! We had a few entertaining evenings chatting with David, the owner, over a glass or two of it! The island is currently in the "hidden gem" status. I don't think it will become over developed any time soon, but get in there before it changes!
