I had a one-week vacation in Boracay but it seemed like the time frame was so short. Truly, time flies when you are having fun. Not only did I have fun in this island, I also had a blast of memorable experiences with my family. Honestly, my Boracay trip with my family was an opportunity for us to... [more]

Souvenir Shopping 5 stars
Boracay Island Chapter of Travel Blog: Wonderful, Wonderful Beach Retreat!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
If you don’t know where to go, you will end up buying expensive Boracay souvenirs. The island beach proper is full of souvenir shops anywhere that sell dresses, shorts, shirts, displays, key chains, cell phone accessories, pen holders, and a lot more. But if you will follow my advice, you will... [more]

Anyone will say that Boracay is not complete without the bars and clubs along its shore. Yes, that’s right! In fact, Boracay is home to different island pubs located just along the seashore. These pubs offer a wide array of island drinks. They also serve beers and tequilas but if I were you, I... [more]

Having a vacation in Boracay does not only mean swimming at the beach or bumming in an airconditioned hotel. A Boracay trip means a lot of day activities.

The top one activity is island hopping. For only 1,500Php to 2,000Php for seven pax, you can enjoy going around the Boracay...

I’m sure you won’t bring a packed lunch in Boracay, will you? Don’t even think about it because you will just waste the food. Going to this kind of trip doesn’t need a packed lunch. If you are hungry, all you need to do is either summon a room service in your hotel or better yet go to... [more]

There are different airlines that fly to Boracay which also have various prices. Seair, Asian Spirit, Air Philippines, and Cebu Pacific are just among those airlines.

Top Five Must-Haves for the Trip 5 stars
Boracay Island Chapter of Travel Blog: Wonderful, Wonderful Beach Retreat!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Shopping is very important for every trip. I am not imposing that all travelers must shop. What I’m saying here is as a traveler, it is part of your checklist to ensure that everything in your “traveler’s checklist” is complete. And, what you should shop depends on your destination.

Having a week-long vacation takes a lot of preparation. First , you need to ensure your hotel; second, your ticket; third, your food there; fourth, your pocket money or your budget for the entire week; and lastly and most importantly, you must assure that you have done all your work. Well, I had... [more]

Hotel and Ticket Reservation 4 stars
Boracay Island Chapter of Travel Blog: Wonderful, Wonderful Beach Retreat!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Since my whole family—which is composed of seven pax—was going, saving money was near the impossible. Let’s talk about the hotel first. Reserving for a hotel was not difficult for us because we are a member of an exclusive hotel, Club Panoly, which has a Boracay branch. But even if you are... [more]

I know there are a lot of reviews about Boracay already, but who can resist writing about it? Certainly, not me! That’s why I am writing another review about this place, and I will try to say something that has never been said before. Swear!

As everyone knows very well,...

From the airport to Boracay island 3 stars
Travel Tip: Boracay Island

I’m pretty bad with numbers when we travel especially with planning ahead. So it helps that I’ve tried to overcompensate for this problem by writing everything down in advance and anticipating how much things will cost. On my first trip to Boracay after I got off the plane at Caticlan airport... [more]

Other than the great view of the sunset in the waters and the pristine white sand beach on the island, I think what makes Boracay one of those perfect getaway places kind of like the island on TV where people's wishes are granted to a certain extent are 2 things else.

Happy Hour is when the Sun Sets 4 stars
Travel Tip: Boracay Island

When is Happy Hour? Basically it's at around 5pm, Boracay Time:)

You can tell even without a watch in two ways! First is the sun setting over the watery horizon. Next would be the throngs of people gathered on the beach front areas, clustered over low wooden or bamboo coffee...

Paraw Boats take Sunset Sailing Places 4 stars
Travel Tip: Boracay Island

Across the island waters, on any given part of the day, you'll see from the beach small boats, schooners really, out on the sea with their triangle sails. I love these local boats!!! They really take the wind out of your sails, but can be perfectly calm when you get to the sunset.

Where are the beach bargains? 4 stars (1 comment)
Travel Tip: Boracay Island
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Hmmm, it's a tough call where the best bargains are in Boracay beach area. Most tourists would head over the great outdoor shopping complex called D' Mall since the food and shopping places are all there, right next to each other! You can eat and shop and get a tan at the same time. D'Mall is in... [more]
