I've been to Boracay only twice. Once in the early 90s and another time in the late 90s. Before, it wasn't really that commercialized and the volume of people there then is nothing compared to the volume of people who go to Boracay now. It seems to me people nowadays go to Boracay to be seen and not to relax. I liked it better when only a few people went there.

My first time in Boracay was in 1986, wala pang kuryente, yung yelo eh galing pang Aklan by boat, sa gabi sulo lang, walang concrete na kalsada, walang tricycle. the only way to get from one end of the beach to the other is by walking or riding a boat that runs by sail. Water is clear, walang seaweeds, you can be a mile from the neach but can still see the boulders in the bottom, sand was powdery white, I could not believe what that place is like, parang wala ako sa Pilipinas. There's no airconditioning and most places to stay are made of bamboo, but they have running water, some bathrooms have no roof. I remember some of the locals going up trees to watch some of the foreigners use the bath/toilet. Foreigners outnumber locals 1 to 15, half of them are walking around the beach topless, I though I died and went to heaven.

 

Second time was in 1990. It was different, meron ng kuryente, may disco sa beach till morning, foreigners to locals 1:1. May cell site na, may airport na, may aircon na. But the thing that got me most, yung mga lumot beach, usually in the morning, by mid day inanod na rin.

 

I came back in 1992. Mas maraming lumot, this time the whole day, may mga artista na, bihira na naka topless, locals outnumber foreigners looks like 10 to 1, dami ng prostitute.

 

I decided not to come back, I want to remember the paradise that I saw 25 years ago, Boracay is a very special place for me for a different reason. :blush:

 

Gusto ko sa Shang-rila not for the beach or the action, gusto ko yung service, amenities and yung privacy, I'm too old for the other things.......been there, done that.

I was at Boracay last April nag-stay kami sa Royal Park station 1, beach front siya and sa tapat ng daungan ng mga bangka na pang water activities. Sobrang spacious ng room, food is ok.

Also, two weeks ago sa Beachcomber Resort naman kami nag stay, hindi sha beachfront pero tatawid ka lang naman beach na agad. Meron shang pool, bad fr lang sa beachcomber sirain mga aircon mainit! luwag din ng rooms at may ginagawa pang rooms sa thirdfloor, breakfast ok din.
