For me medyo overrated yung Boracay. Totoo convenient - maraming cafe, restaurants, hotels along the coastline. Marami ding available water activities like parasailing, jetski, etc. Maganda din nightlife. Pero extremely overcrowded and overpriced. If I want to go explore nature, I'd want a more quiet and relaxing place.
Mas less crowded yung Siargao kasi mas malaki yung area. There's also a great surfing scene for beginners sa Cloud 9, lots of excellent food, access to nearby caves and coves (like Sohoton).
But the ultimate destination I keep coming back will always be Palawan.
