visit Boracay

[axlerose100]

Actually sir, the lumot in Boracay is normal this part of the year... i think it has something to do with the change in tides or something else, but lumot is really part of Boracay from about March to around June or July... try going to Boracay outside those months and you'll see the crystal clean water and white sand you're talking about... I was there twice last year... First time was in January, the water was perfect, no lumot at all... Went back in June and there was a little lumot, but not as much... Though i agree that Boracay today is no comparison to what is was 10 years ago, but it's still boracay

 

and also, residents clean Boracay beach every morning... pag gising mo at pag labas mo sa resort mo, you'll see the sand raked properly, and all the lumot gathered in one big pile...

 

also, i talked to a local there once and he told me that the reason why they do not throw the lumot away is because they dry it up... pag natuyo daw un, it turns into sand which is as fine and as white as the sand on Boracay... kaya siguro hindi bumababa ang sand level sa island...

 

I've been to boracay recently and yes, a lot of algae does gather near shore. Not a marine biologist here but I have had extensive experience with "lumot" in aquaculture. Algae need nutrients in the water + sunlight to propagate. What scares me is the thought that it might be from the bilge water leaking out of some septic tanks. No "nutrients" + sunlight = clear water. That's scary.

d naman siguro sir... back in the early late 80's/early 90's nung hindi pa masyadong commercialized ang boracay, may lumot na din e... i really think it has something to do with the changing of the tides and all...

if you mean ngayon as in May, the rates you are looking for are only offered sa mga non-beach front resorts kasi peak season pa... but they lower their rates come June 15... here are a couple of rates I was able to gather when i was planning our trip this coming June...

 

Boracay Plaza (Beach Front Station 1)

P2240 per night (good for 2)

 

Blue Waves Boracay (Beach Front Station 1)

P2400 per night (good for 2)

 

Fat Jimmys (Station 2)

P1700 - P2000 per night (good for 2)

 

Isla Gecko (Station 3)

P1500 per night

 

Boracay Courtyard (Station 2)

around P1000 per night (good for 2)

 

Serendipity Boracay

P1800 - P2000 per night

 

Paradise Bay

P1500 per night (good for 2)

 

 

or you can always try Dave's straw hat Inn... they give good prices regardless of season... they are located in non-beach front station 3...

 

Hope this helps Good luck :thumbsupsmiley:

sabi ng mga bangkero at mga employee sa mga resort eh

yun lumot daw ang nag papa puti sa sand at nag papa pino

[dwyanewade03]

try nyo yung Frendz. yung daves straw hut inn ang cheapest. i called them but fully booked na sila. we decided to stay on de paris. magaganda ang reviews ng mga travelers sa tripadvisor. mura sya beachfront and located sya sa night spots. malapit sa de'mall. ok din yung beachcomber pero medyo mahal. madami naman mura na accommodations. low season na starting june. pero yung ibang resorts june 15 pa ang start ng low season. try going to this link www.boracayinfo.net detailed list ng resorts and establishments in boracay. hope this helps

I like the Boracay Regent, it is a hotel resort. It has facilities and amenities. For more native type surrounding, I go to Casa Pilar.

There is a lot of resto at The Mall. My favorite is ARIA where they serve good italian food. Most resort especializes on ihaw ihaw. You can also go to the talipapa (market), buy fresh sea food and have them cook it with small cooking charges. Dampa style.
