There are plenty of accommodation for those on a strict budget in Peurto Galera. The more expensive it is, the more private it is. Boracay does have cheap accommodation also, but the flights are more expensive that a bus trip from Manila down to Peurto Galera. Both still have beers for about US$1. The bus trip is around P200, which is about US$4, but not air conditioned I think.
If you are coming from the US for a holiday, a little extra spent on accommodation can make the holiday a whole lot more enjoyable.
