visit Boracay

[kringkringshaw]

Pearl of the Pacific... one time i was there Valentines Day, its so romantic..

[pokpok]

What is better, buy a package at a travel agency (P 12k per person sa waling waling including all airfare and transportation) or travel there without booking accomodations and get it when you get there? Do travel agencies save you money? or is it cheaper if you just get the room when you're there? Looks like Nami is a good place to stay. What is the typical room rates for around late November?

[spacepen]

yes i agree, definitely waling waling. one of the beachfront resorts on station 1. it's the best part of the beach...

[spacepen]

getting the package is the best way. if you just show up there during peak season you would have to sleep on the sand, haha. Nami is nice, but too far from the action. cheapest way to bora is MBRS shipping lines... if you're adventurous enough for it. but hey, they got air conditioned cabin rooms

hi! has anyone actually stayed in Boracay Peninsula? what's it like and where is it near? and do you know of any sites in the net where we can see pix of the place??

thanks!!

Club 10 - I've stayed here twice.

 

White beach is about 150 meters away. But what I really like about this place is the seclussion. Very quiet, two verandas are provided per room, the cabana act as the restaurant/KTV bar that includes a place where you sit in the floor with pillows to enjoy a candle lit night with friends while partying/karaoke.

 

It is inside a compound to keep outsiders out and the service is superb compared to big resorts. They give you a wake-up call, serve breakfast when you want it, and even serve it right outside your door in the veranda. They operate thier own boat and jetski and for a nominal fee of P1000, you can have the boat all day to go sight-seeing. With enough tip before leaving, they give you a souvenir t-shirt and provides help all the way to Caticlan Airport.

thanks mango_man! i didn't know may boracay.net pala so i'll check that one out. i looked it up sa boracay.com pero wla dun eh!

[oldsongs]

depends.

 

if you want to be alone with your significant other, nami is the place. lampas pa siya sa station one. eto yung hotel na nasa cliff.

 

sobrang nice. each room has its own jacussi. and, from caticlan, speedboat ang sundo mo- if i'm not mistaken, kasama sa package.

 

kaya lang, medyo pricey. the last time i was there, for 3 days, it'll cost you $270. eh, a year ago na yon.

 

isa pang kaya lang, malayo sa sibilisasyon. daylight, you can walk by the beach to station one (round 15 minutes walk). at night, you have to take a ride. don't worry. meron ang hotel and free of charge, i think.

 

sa food, don't expect much. ok lang. hindi wow!

[azrach187]

As far as food and dining, the best and the cheapest is in "Talipapa" market, just a 10 minute walk from anywhere in White Beach. From crabs, to lobster, to oyster and fish, the price can't be beaten and it's home cooking. It's always cheaper by the dozen, since the food is served as sets. But a side order would not k*ll your budget.

 

There are buffet restaurant in White Beach, not too expensive, but prepare to be there early because you will be fighting a battle with a bunch of hungry foreigners! LOL!

 

The bottom line as far as a "nice" and "expensive place" to stay, let me tell you this... Who cares? If you stay in your room all day then that's cool. But for the most part, if you are like me, you will only see your room at around 3am till the time you wake up. For the most part, you will be outside absorbing the scenery and enjoying yourself, same as a guy who paid three times you did for an expensive place to stay.

 

Di ba?

Very well put!!!! :

Yes I would love to. Pero di ata gumagana yung "attachement" sabi nung isang mod sa akin na inaayos pa daw. Pero as soon as ayos na, I will post my pictures. In the mean time, as far as the prices, call them with the numbers I PM'ed you. Hint: pwede mo silang tawadan kasi hindi na yan travel agency, direct sa kanila yan.

 

Apat lang kami nung mga sisters ko last time, they gave us two rooms for five days, four nights at around P500/per day ata, not sure. Tawagan mo na lang sila, kasi nagpunta kami nun ay "high season" (early May) at mas mura pag "off-season" like November. Tawadan mo dahil mabait naman yung may ari. Lalo na pag marami kayo. BTW, libre yung breakfast. At pag marami kayo, you can have your own party at the cabana for a little tip, and they would stay open (the bar/ktv) as long as you want them to.

 

I will post the pictures and the brochure as soon as MTC can upload pictures again.
