visit Boracay

[simpatiko]

Word of caution:  July/August is rainy season, and you might not enjoy the beach if there is a storm.  It's also the lean season, so getting good accomodations won't be difficult.

 

Where to stay depends on your comfort level.  Boracay offers all kinds of places to stay, from back packer's place up to 5 star luxury resorts.  What kind of accomodation are you thinking of?

HI guys,

 

Going to Boracay this April after holy week.  Has anyone been there around the same time after holy week - April 20 onwards?  I've stayed at Waling Waling, Pearl and Pink Patio in the past.  Would like to try a differenct place and not too expensive - any suggestions welcome.

 

Waling waling great place but expensive.

Pearl not as expensive but a little run down and service was not so good - almost 2 years ago.

Patio Pacific - nice room but small, good amenities, just a litle off the main road.

 

Like I said, something similar to Patio but may be not as expensive...

 

Thanks in advance, anyone gonna be there the same time drop me line, lets get drunk.

Ola IB! Round this time last year a whole bunch of us were at Bora and since I booked early I got a good deal at Jony's. It's located at the beachfront in station 1 which seems like the best place to be -- distant enough from your noisy Pier 1 et al and a short walk to the buzz of Station 2 (it's actually right beside that Elizalde house I think). I reckon the best stretch of beach is at station 1 as well, during the afternoons the more interesting station 2 tourists often walk over to the Jony's stretch to be seen and enjoy the sand. The deluxe rooms are pretty new, spacious, nice & clean. Here's a link to their page from boracay.com -- Jony's Beach Resort

 

The package I got through my travel agent was smashing (I spent about 10K for a 4D/3N trip inclusive of air & land transfers), I can give you my agent's number should you need assistance.

 

Am heading back there this year sometime before Holy week with my whole maternal clan and will definitely want to stay at Jony's again. :thumbsupsmiley:

Ola Lipstick! That's not bad at all, thanks. Sounds like deluxe room is all we need, I'll PM you for more details.

Peace po... but I was haunted by a ghost there (RM 11).... No joking... swear I'll never come back to that place...

 

357 in station 3 is also good and Boracay Regency, ganda pool..

[anika]

Negros Navigation has a promo trip to Boracay direct to Caticlan. Mura, maganda at mabilis vessel. It leaves 7pm then arrives 7am.

[chinggero]

i like the last place u can stay at station 3... medyo malayo na pero u can have the beach tlga.. and its just a 15minute walk to get to station 2 or 1

[simpatiko]

I just came from bora instead of 3 days naging 5 days yung stayy ko kasi ang mura nung place na nakuha ko...beachront pa. Pm me for details.Wheew! I really enjoyed it!

May problema ngayon malapit sa Boracay na underreported. Meron oil spill sa may semirara ata yun. Pag hindi agad naayos yun pde umabot sa tubig ng boracay.

 

Marami na corals ang nasira dhil sa oil spill na yun so pag hindi naayos madadamay ang boracay.

[icetip]

Sa house n ng friend namin pwede.

i just came from there and it was the best 4 days i've ever had in a long time. the place i stayed in was very inexpensive. and to think we were right beside friday's, one of the more pricey accommodations on the island.

 

it's called cottage queen. we stayed in a very basic hut with bed, running water and working toilet, a fan. no fuss, no frills. but 10 steps to the beachfront and a steal at P1000 a night.

 

and the beachfront had less seaweed than station 2 or 3... and it was quieter. less traffic. and less vendors.

 

i can't wait to go back.

Madami nga lumot ngayon kahit saang station. I dont know why. Basta masipag kang maghanap marami dun. Sa akin nga malapit sa D Mall and station 2 mismo. Aircon with hot and cold shower 1200 lang. Mainit din namn kasi kung fan lang. Kaso medyo maulan nung march 5 pero since march 1 dun nako. Kakauwi ko lng nung 7. Ang budget ko talaga 2800 per day tapos naghanap me ang napamura pa me talaga. Gusto ko na nga bumalik agad eh. :thumbsupsmiley:

Meron na ako contact sa Station 2.

 

3thou good for 6. aircon din. pero sa fridays gusto ko malaman kung along the highway yun ksi mura

[missmanners]

its not along the road. there's no highway there btw. just roads.

 

cottage queen is beachfront. two resorts away from friday's.

 

better here because there are no crowds. especially the annoying, feeling party people, the foreigners looking to prey on natives, the natives looking to prey on foreigners and all that. station 1 is where you stay if you want peace and quiet. if you want to "party" i suggest you stay smack in the middle of station 2.

 

and no. cottage queen has no aircon rooms. besides, you don't go to bora to stay in a nice room. you go to bora for the nice beach. you'll hardly stay in your room anyway.
