BORACAY (THREAD 28)

[mommy23]

Guys dito na natin continue usapang Boracay..
Sa mga nakapunta na share po kayo ng mga experience nyo, activities, beachfront reosrt/hotel and their rates and your review

[felicityinlove]

pa-join sis..

We went to Boracay last July and luckily di naman maulan that time. I recommend Milflores de Boracay. Malapit lang yun sa beach. May year round silang rate na 2300php and it is located in station 1. I liked the acommodation and the service. Super friendly yung staff dun and they serve "respectable" breakfast- Filipino or Continental. Free na yun for 2 pag nag-book sa hotel. Another thing I liked sa hotel is yung sabon nila. Too bad lang they don't sell them kasi mamakyaw sana ako nun. lol. You can also coordinate with Milflores regarding transfer from the airport especially if sa Kalibo ang lapag ng plane.

You can check their site @ http://www.milflores.net/.

Things to do:

1. Island hopping
2. ATV/ Buggy
3. Helmet Diving
4. Snorkeling
5. Parasailing
6. Banana Boat
7. Body Massage
8. Tattoos

Tip lang, puwede makipagtawaran sa mga nag-ooffer ng mga activities nito sa mismong beachfront na. Mas makakamura in that way than letting your hotel do the work.

question, yung sa Bug car ba per car ang bayad don or per head pa? thanks!

we'll be in bora in 2 days na lang!! i'll try to update you guys as much as i can..

[felicityinlove]

Not sure eh. Ang alam ko per head bayad dun but since off peak nung pumunta kami, I had the buggy all to myself and paid for 1 lang instead of 2 heads.

[grasyia]

Sis safe ba yung dadaan?

[prettybarbie]

sa mga sis na kagagaling lang ng Bora...sa Cagban port pa din ba bumababa o sa Tabon port na?

[ladykristinn]

sa Isla Gecko ko na ipapa book ang parents ko sa Isla Gecko. Mas mura ang nakuha kong ticket compared sa agoda. sana maging okay parents ko doon. mukhang mabait naman si Joey. kaka renovate daw ng bar nila.

[kikaygimikera]

meron ba kayong recommend na boracay accomodation na tig 300 per night? kahit beds lang parang transient ng baguio? kasi biglaan lang ang punta namin.

[letters_to_cleo]

Was in Bora last Sept 10-13. We stayed at The Strand sa station 1, okay sya very homey bed and breakfast, quiet and safe, may sariling pool din kaya lang mga 20 meters away sa beach at wala silang shoreline kaya hassle magdala ng camera bago magswim lol! Muntik na kaming lumipat sa The One nung second night kasi kahirap magiwan ng camera etc. pag gusto mong lumangoy walang iwanan ng gamit. 

Bad experience ko lang sa Bora yung mga trike drivers dishonest, kung makakalusot eh tatagain ka talaga. Imagine yung isang driver sinisingil kami ng PHP 150 from station 1 to Dmall eh 60 lang bayad namin. Pati yung kids na nagbebenta ng sun hats, binebentahan kami ng hats na PHP 300 tapos discounted is PHp 250.00 nung nagsalita ako sinabihan ba naman ako na, ay akala ko foreigner! Sabi ko sa batang vendor, bakit pag foreigner, mahal? Sabi nung bata, syempre ate, mapera yun! Kaloka!  Na-sad lang ako kasi for the beach, hands down wala talagang tatalo sa Bora (been to Pagudpud, my beloved Davao, Laiya, Puerto Princesa, pero best talaga ang beach ng Bora) pero yung tourism nila sobrang nakakainis kasi nga di pare-pareho ang presyo and feel na feel mo na kung pwede lang eh lalamangan ka talaga sa price. Sana they adapt the way tourism is done in Puerto Princesa, where all prices sa trikes are fixed and alam mo na tama lang ang presyo. Sad lang, Bora has the best beaches but sobra na syang commercialized nga to the point na nawawala yung "heart" ng place.

yeay!!just got back from bora.. medyo maulan pero sa tanghali umaaraw din naman, mahangin kaya malakas ang alon.. we stayed at Calypso (got a discounted price  ).. super nice ng room and the staff are very friendly.. super dami ng koreans/chinese pati tuloy kami napapagkamalan na foreigners kasi medyo singkit ako lalo na si boyfie muka talagang koreano..hehe..
medyo crowded na nga lang ang bora ngayon, two years ago di pa ganon ang itsura ng bora, ngayon masyado na madaming nakatayo..anyway here's a list of our expenses in bora:

terminal fee: P200.00/head

going back to manila
Trike to tambisaan port: P100 (special)
Banca: P25/head
Fees: same as above
