visit Boracay

[Ka Kumag]

Hi Bubbly,

 

Is this question for me?  The room at Balinghai cost US$45 per night but a friend of mine booked it, she's a local.

hmmmmn...i don't know...i didn't ask when i was there last saturday...but its probably more. I think its probably the same rate now as sea wind.

I think Friday's is one of the best resorts in bora. The food is fantastic. (Friday's buffet! YUM!) It also has one of the best beach fronts! Bora was super crowded during holy week, but I took walks there going to Diniwid, because that part of white beach was the least congested!

Actually, Pearl has one of the best beach fronts in white beach....but the service has deteriorated and the facilities haven't been maintained well.  I stayed there with some friends last November.  The rooms were small and smelled funny.  The food was AWFUL!    We got free breakfasts and dinner with our package but we only ate there once! Blech!  Their bbq tasted like kerosene!  :sick:  :sick:  Mas masarap pa yung bbq sa tapat ng summer place! 

 

But the massages we got at the spa there were just heavenly!  :hypocritesmiley:  :cool:  :thumbsupsmiley:

 

I hope they work on that place...its such a waste really!  :goatee:  :goatee:

Yes Pearl has a great beach front. Stayed there 5 years ago, it was nice and quiet, away from the noisy bars. Rooms were better then, but based on what you said, mukang napabayaan nga. I tried the food only once, it was forgettable, but I don't care about hotel food anyway when in Boracay. Part of the fun in Boracay is eating different cuisines, drinking at different places, roaming around the island. If you're going to stay in one resort place might as well go to Palawan -- better cleaner beaches, a more tranquil, relaxing vacation.

Anyone have experience with Nami Villas??? Malayo ba sa White Beach? and is it worth the cash??? I'm thinking of Booking a room for July. Also what are the chances na Uulan in (Late July) ?

 

 

Thanks

nami has one of the best views of white beach... it's a tad pricey but worth every penny.

 

sea wind also in station 1 is also really great. they have the best breakfast buffet on the island... and no roped-off beachfront like neighboring snobby hotels. there's a convenient bar located by the pool that serves really good cocktails. heaven is a P250 massage and a mango margarita as the sun setting.

 

try also some of the resorts on the other side of the island, where the sun rises. fairways and bluewater is far and away from the action but is great for those seeking a lot of sports-related activity.

 

i don't really like staying in any other resort that isn't on station 1. primarily because the whole idea of going to boracay would be to savor some r&r. it's difficult to do that in stations 2 and 3, what with the traffic of people.

 

may-july would be a good time to go. but the best would be november-february. no seaweed. btw, there's no such thing as peak and off-peak anymore. boracay is happening all year round.

You are right. The reason for me choosing Nami is its far from the action. Kailangan lang the stress relief. I tried to book Fridays pero wait list na agad ako so the next best thing would be Nami, hopefully may spots pa. Also need to be alone with that special someone. :evil:

[kotiko]

Basta anywhere in Station 1 especially yung group ng Fridays kung location wise. Pero expensive.

Actually, Nami, is in Diniwid beach, not white beach. Its the next cove after white beach. Every suite has a jacuzzi, pang honeymooners or romantic weekend. Masarap din yung food. Try their champagne breakfast. YUM!

 

Its actually the only major (meaning big) hotel in diniwid so solo nyo yung beach, more or less. The hotel mismo sits on a cliff and you have to ride a "scenic elevator" to go up. Mejo nakakatakot pero hanep yung view. The elevator was imported from sweden, and according to my swedish friends, (I took them there when they visited last year) d pa daw nachecheck ulit yung elevator so natakot sila. mwahahahaha. The service is usually good but when we were there mejo off days ata ng staff.

 

I think the price is worth it. July might not be the best time to go though. Last year extended amihan kaya maganda yung weather kahit june/july. Pray ka na lang maulit this year. Have fun.

 

Ok lang maglakad maganda yung path from White beach to Diniwid. Pwede rin magparao or mag-trike if you don't want to walk.

[murusame]

Thanks for the tip batibut. I really hope maganda ang weather at that time. Hopefully walang ulan.
