This airport is never ending updating but also unorganized at times. They need to open a bigger one than updating. The TSA folks are all busy too, no friendliness here! Haha The check-in lines are crazy so expect this. Drives me a little loco. Make sure to never leave your belongings as there are still thief's around and it's a packed house. It's a little cool with their AC above but not strong enough. There departure area has Starbucks and other local food stands and eateries there but expect the long wait as well as this airport is busy if you are coming or leaving Boracay. [31R,2025] read more

Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (Caticlan) in Boracay is a small, busy airport that feels crowded and, in my opinion, a bit chaotic. While it does have a decent selection of food options, seating is barely sufficient, making it uncomfortable during peak times. It's not the most pleasant experience, and I wouldn't look forward to passing through here, but it's the only choice if you're visiting Boracay. Hopefully, there will be expansions in the near future to better accommodate travelers. If you're flying in or out of Boracay, just be prepared for a less-than-ideal airport experience. read more

Godofredo P Ramos Airport - MPH - Waiting to board (: - Airports Near Me - Malay, AKL

This airport leans towards 4-4.5 but I'm going to round it up to 5 stars. The only thing that hurts it is that it needs a major update. There are two airports on the main island. This airport is primarily the tourist airport to Boracay because the boats to Boracay are 10 minutes away. With the other airport, it's farther and I've heard it takes a couple of hours to get to the boats to Boracay. One thing is for sure with this airport: Efficiency! They process and get people through fast! I always see airports in the movies where people have to walk outside to get on the plane. I never flew through those airports until this one. I LOVED IT! There is a small terminal but on arrival, most of it is outside. You walk outside of the plane into the weather. You don't collect your bag from a conveyor... they funnel everyone to this other area(outside) and you wait for the bags to show up. It depends on you. On my next visit, I'll fly into this airport. If you want to see the other side of the island and take a 2-hour trip from the other airport to the jetty port, go that way. read more

If you want to fly to beautiful Boracay, then it is more than likely that this is the airport that you will fly into. It is not a large airport, but it gets the job done. Only about a short 10 minute drive to the spot where we catch a boat ride to Boracay. M Getting in and out of the airport was so fast! When we arrived at the airport, we were out of the terminal in just a few minutes. Well, it helped that we had no check-in baggage. Upon departure from the airport, things also went smoothly. Going through security was quick and harmless. The waiting areas at the gate was comfy and roomy. There was also a shop where we purchased some snacks and drinks so you don't have to starve while waiting to board your flight. Hopefully, I get future opportunities to use this airport because it would be great to visit Boracay from time to time. read more

As long as the plane that I'm on landed safe, I won't complain too much. It's a bit bumpy and seeing how small the airport is, I won't hide the frightened feeling inside. It was my first time in Boracay and I don't want my excitement turned the opposite way, but hey, I do trust Mr. Pilot & yeap when he landed the plane safe I think I have a crush on him already. The Malay Aklan Airport is a small airport and any pilot definitely needed more attentive focusing technique to navigate the landing and departure. Arrival terminal is on one end and the departure terminal is on a different building on the other end. Don't get me wrong but it was a decent airport situated in the middle of the ocean's vastness. The crew and staff are helpful and friendly. They really did a good job on accommodating their guests and help the best they could to arrive safely to each of their prospective destination. So yeah, I won't complain to much as what I've stated on my first paragraph. We landed safe, we departed safe...that's what the most important thing in here! read more

Tiny little airport that service air traffic for Boracay Island. Since Boracay doesn't have an air strip you need to fly into Godofredo P Ramos Airport and take a boat across to Boracay Island. The trip in was pretty choppy. The trip back was downright scary w/wind and rain rocking the boat, but thank God we made it back safely read more

Bluesmith Coffee is located in Godofredo P. Ramos Airport at Caticlan that services Boracay. It's a small counter but the coffee is good I had a Americano, and my friend had the cappuccino and she said it remind her of Starbucks. They lso they had desserts, patisseries, cookies and a few other food items and could I say the cakes are fresh. I had a slice of chocolate cake and it was soft, moist. and tasty. They also had sandwiches that where pre-made and wrapped, but I didn't try them so I couldn't judge them. read more

It's hard to complain about an airport when it's absolutely doing its best for the area its at. So I'm going to review this for what the stars exactly mean "A-OK". No it wasnt great but it was necessary. The Caticlan airport sits on the mainland island away from the small island of boracay. You have to take a ferry to get to in and out of boracay. This little airport does have its security checks and there's only really one area for it. You go through and once you enter you have several food options. There's one food area downstairs, one upstairs and a little coffee place. Okay, I have to admit when you're feeling tired from all the beach days a cup of ramen is amazing. So that was my meal, it was ramen. Most of their food treats were quick heatable items. The airport was chilly, so if you're sick bring a blanket or a jacket. We all huddled in our seats with our ramen to stay warm. Also, there's not much to do but wait and wait until your plane arrives. Once it does arrive your boarded into the little shuttles that then take you to the plane. The experience was different and again necessary as its really the closest airport to boracay. (there's another airport, Kalibo, like an hour and a half away I believe via bus/car). Cleanliness; this airport is actually pretty clean; the floors arent dirty looking, seats are well maintained; the only thing to pay close attention to are the bathrooms. I believe they were using water and pails (tabo) to clean up number 2--hey its the filipino way to go right? haha We had a slight delay but we were so thankful to be out of the tiny little airport. One thing for sure is if I were to fly in again, I'll be using this airport instead of Kalibo. read more

Just like Cebu's airport, you'll ride a bus to and from the plane. Arrival: The bus drove circuitously to the actual airport terminal. I'm not sure if this was due to rain. Once there passengers squabbled and stressed over filling out a travel form. Exit staff were blocking travelers from leaving before completion. But thanks to my smooth transfer decision, this was taken care of already. We spotted our Southwest Tours chaperones waiting with our names on a sign right outside. Right Ted? We outta here!! Departure: Southwest Tours had us wait in an air conditioned waiting room for some reason across the road from the check-in area. Not sure why. But even a weak ac was a god send. The security checkpoint and airline check-in counters are packed tightly in a small area. Of course it's chaotic. Security seemed to scrutinize luggage closely but I got through fine. There are 2 waiting rooms and the downstairs one fills up quickly. Upstairs has more room. It was hard to find an open seat. Limited refreshment choices means over priced snacks and drinks. Canned beer was available whew - but had to be poured in a cup. Wifi was meh fast but available. For a remote and small airport, it did okay. read more

This place is so tiny and it's for domestic flights only. The bathrooms don't have good pipes as it seems to be clogged all the time. They do have a Starbucks with all the souvenir cups of the Philippines. They have a giant fan to keep you cool. You do however have to take a bus to the plane and you get in runways with planes so you have to wait in lines read more

Philippines Review #6 I've been through this airport 6 times now (3 trips to Boracay) and man this is one TINY airport! The smallest I've ever been through. How small you ask? It's so small... if there are 4 planes on the ground at the same time, it's completely packed and there is NO room for another plane to land, or at least to park off of the runway. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/godofredo-p-ramos-airport-malay?select=dVkPCFfnqurIeuvl2N4JTQ It's so small... that a siren sounds when a plane is a few minutes out and on approach to land. It's so small... (I've heard) sometimes the airport staff will have to chase cows off the runway before the next plane is to land. (haven't seen this though) It's so small.... that when a plane is preparing for take off, it taxis to one end of the runway, turns around, then reverses until the tail is only a few feet from the fence. Then, the pilot stands on the brakes, pushes the turbo-prop engines to full throttle, releases the brakes and LAUNCHES the plane down the runway! It lifts off at the far end of the runway and clears the fence by what looked like no more than 15-20 feet! WHEW! If you are going to or from Boracay Island, this is the best airport to arrive and depart through. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/godofredo-p-ramos-airport-malay?select=wuzOivzTSWqAgrqyPCUN_Q An alternative is to fly through Kalibo Intl Airport, but then you are looking at a 2 hour bus ride to get to the Caticlan Jetty Port anyway. There is an indoor as well as a outdoor "waiting area" when waiting for your flight, but being outdoors, it's obviously not air conditioned. There are plenty of stands selling food, drinks, ice cream and other snacks to nibble on while you wait. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/godofredo-p-ramos-airport-malay?select=K-NxtlgiNGjCdMpJC9xjvg As Steven N noted, the security check/screening is a breeze when compared to most any other airport. OVERALL: A very small, old world type of airport which functions pretty well. More than likely the only reason you'd fly through this airport, is to get to or from Boracay Island. read more

Small little airport that processes folks fast and efficiently. I would have given it a higher rating except that there is no information desk for first-time tourists like us who still have to make our way to the various resorts in Boracay, leaving us at the mercy of various sharks outside to offer varying ways and prices for getting to the Island. read more

Aka Caticlan airport. We used this airport to fly into Boracay because it is only 10-20 minutes from hotels as opposed to 90 minutes from Kalibo airport. Arriving: There were no issues. We landed, walked through one room for baggage, and walked right out. Tiny place. There are taxis waiting outside for anyone who needs it. Departing: Security went pretty quickly. Check in was time consuming but not too bad. I'm sure I've had similar lines at JFK. Wifi is free but you have to give them your name to get a code for 2 hours. Food is limited but surprisingly the chocolate banana crepes were awesome! Ham and cheese on a waffle sandwich was great as well. Unfortunately, our departure was a nightmare but this was at the fault of Cebu Airlines, not necessarily the airport. There was rain and they CANCELED ALL FLIGHTS for the rest of the day (rain stopped by noon btw). They were not accommodating AT ALL - did not want to pay for people's hotels and did not want to offer us different solutions. The best they could offer me was an 8pm flight from Kalibo airport which didn't work because I had a 7pm layover flight from Manila. Anyways, after an hour of arguing and frustration, we went to the Philippines Airline office across the street and bought tickets from them. Thankfully, this airport has the airline offices with representatives who are willing to help. Instead of 9am, we had a 1pm flight and made our other 2 flights on time! read more

Probably the smallest airport I've ever been to in my life. This is also known as Caticlan airport and is preferred over Kalibo as its only about 20 minutes or so from the resorts of Boracay. The downside is that it is very small and has very limited hours and is severely impacted by weather in the surrounding area. We landed without any issues from Manila (aside from being delays thanks to NAIA airport) and breezed through right into our waiting vans. I had pre booked transfers with my resort which is the more expensive but more convenient method as once you exit there is a load of people and vey confusing to book transfers. Arriving here also ensures a van to boat to another van/tricycle transfer so rather than deal with all that I have the resort do it. It cost me about 1300 pesos round trip for an adult with my resort, whereas it costs about 700/800 pesos if you were to book with Southwest (a third party). Anyways, on the way back, there were delays, which I had expected but hoped against. The delays all come from Manila airport; it's a complete shitshow over there. Even though we were taking Cebu Airlines and they are known for delays/cancellations, I put it solely on the airport. No planes could leave there so no planes could land here - very simple. I heard people bitching and moaning about the airlines but it's not their fault. There is a 200 pesos terminal fee that is not included in any transfers. Make sure you have enough cash!! For our 12:15 flight we ended up leaving around 3:10. There are some food and souvenir stands in the airport but they only take cash. There are no currency exchanges or ATMs once you are inside, so be sure to have enough cash for the unavoidable delays you will experience here. So lesson learned - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH CASH! read more

Very small airport. But it was fine to get my stuff and head to the bus to take the boat to Boracay.
