Boracay Thread 32

[Shiecg]

kinagisnan na namin yong lumot dito sa boracay, 30 years ago hindi pa naman ganito karami ang resorts pero may lumot na, so i dont think this is because of the crowded resorts.

[jtansanco]

Anyone knows a reputable company who assists in transfers to/from Kalibo?

[Shiecg]

Southwest Tours or Island Star Express, both of them are reliable.

[Superjoie]

Hindi naman lahat may lumot... sa station 2 may part na malinis. ang sarap pa rin lumangoy., may mga isda pa na lumalapit samin.

[damsel.in.distress]

at what time of the year kaya mga sis walang lumot?

i presume, pag march-may, maraming lumot. right?

how about mga bandang november?

sana po may sumagot. kasi i really really want to go there but super worried talaga ako sa lumot kasi I'll bring my 5y/o daughter with me.

[Shiecg]

pag november malinis na ang beach, actually May wala na yang lumot, kahit now pawala na nga eh, tsaka hindi naman whole 7km stretch ng white beach is covered by lumot. medyo exagerrated lang minsan ang mga pics at mga comments ng ibang tao.

Southwest Tours or Island Star Express, both of them are reliable.

Thanks!

^^^^last year we were there naman ng August. walang lumot pero seaweeds naman ang pumalit. Although mas tolerable to for me kasi pwede mo sya hawiin! yung lumot kasi hindi, hehe. slimy! when we went there nung Holy week, sa tapat ng Discovery medyo konti lang lumot at sa Asya. Sa station 2 lumot galore!

pwede din yung KIATCO yata yun. basta parang association yun ng van drivers in Kalibo na may booth din sa airport. 250 per pax yung rate nila. ok naman din yung van, bagong grandia yung nasakyan namin and mabilis din mapuno.

[damsel.in.distress]

oh. i see.

ako kasi nagpaplan ng IT namin.

gusto ko sana Boracay muna. syaka na yung Bohol

Thanks po sa mga sumagot. We'll go there na lang ng November. Malayo pa naman. I just want to plan ahead lang.

Peak season pa po ba yung Nov? Sa ibang hotels kasi nakita ko, peak season nila till Nov.15? And marami bang tao ng November? hehe. Sorry, matanong.

[Shiecg]

sis damsel.in.distress

kung van lang naman problema mo, dami van sa Kalibo airport at kung marami kayo lets say mga 8-10 pwede na kayong mag charter ang alam ko kasi nasa 1,500-2000 ang van, yon is kung mag DIY lang kayo. I can recommend a Van driver if you want. November is still consider as low season p naman pero yong mga bigger hotels talaga pag Nov 15 start na sila ng high season rate. 3 seasons kasi dito, low, high and peak. may time naman kasi na november na wala pa ring gaanong tourist pero minsan din naman october palang feel mo na ang high season, hindi talaga pare-parehas.

^^ agree..everytime pupunta kami ng Boracay, always private van lang kami. last time we're 17 pax and we rented 2 vans, this year 8 pax kami and we just rented one. Mas convenient kasi hawak namin ang oras, hindi siksikan at mas mabilis.

[sherlock]

mga sis, can you recommend vans na puwede namin i-rent for travel from kalibo to caticlan port? 6 pax kami and we're thinking of renting out a whole van instead na makipagsiksikan kami. thanks ^^

[Shiecg]

hi sis sherlock,  here's the number of the van na contact ko sa Kalibo 09084809626, pm mo name mo sa akin para ma advice ko sya at mabigyan kayo discount, date and name mo. Ronilo name ng van driver, sya rin ang may ari nyan, malaki at comfy ang van nya.

this may sound st_pid, pero gusto ko lang malaman, i-coconfiscate kaya ang 88ml of sunblock ko? etong brand ng sunblock ko kasi hiyang ako. hindi na rin kami magche-check in baggage yun ang usapan para mas madali and on the go agad. what do you think sisses, do i need to transfer pa to a smaller bottle?

[tammy1979]

^^sis, pasok sa banga ang sunblock mo, hindi yan kukunin, hehe..di naman ganun kahigpit sa tin pag domestic travel, saka obvious naman na kailangan mo ng sunblock kasi mag beach ka. Usually naghihigpit sila pag more than 100ml ang dala mo, since 88ml lang yan, kering-keri.

[bluewingedangel]

hay salamat! sa saturday na ang alis namin. windang windang levels kasi biglang yaya lang. sayang naman si sunblock diba haha.

[chefron]

May mairerekumenda ba kayong matutuluyan na may kitchen?

[sajo]

@ bluewingedangel tama si sis tammy1979 pasok sa banga ang sunblock mo  they would allow it kasi less than 100ml ang dala mo tsaka indi naman de-spray yan right?bawal kasi yun inflammable, tama ba mga sis?

[Shiecg]

May mairerekumenda ba kayong matutuluyan na may kitchen?

try Little Prairie Inn sa station 1, they have dirty kitchen na pwedeng gamitin ng guests with a minimal charges, beachfront pa sila.

[bump]

Hi sisses, may nakapag stay na ba sa Hotel Soffia ditto? We love kasi na its quiet lalo na we have kids with us and of course the pool. Expensive na kasi sa Alta Vista de Boracay. 4k lang budget naming per night sa accommodation.
