Boracay Thread 33

[aceofhearts]

We will go to boracay on Thursday, and as first timers. I hope the weather will be good by that day. Ask ko lang sisters ang arrival kasi namin in Kalibo is around 4PM. What time kaya ang dating namin sa boracay station 1? Including the van from Kalibo to Caticlan tapos boat to Jetty port? Aabutin ba kami ng dilim?

Thanks in advance 

[leelou]

^pareho tayo sis ng dating sa Kalibo. usually 2 hrs pa daw travel from Kalibo to White Beach

mga sis, pahingi naman ng recommendation on where to have a nice breakfast in Station 3 near Crown Regency Resort. we're choosing them over La Carmela eh, sana right decision  the rate we got does not include breakfast. P300 extra charge ng Crown. we want to have sana other options. TIA!

Meron pa ba byahe ng 12am kalibo to caticlan? if yes, meron ba budget hotel caticlan area?

[guerzman]

non beach front rooms ba ng true home located pa din lapit sa beach? i mean yung hindi tatawid pa ng kalsada sa likod daanan mga tryk?

[kikay iska]

^ True Home is beachfront. they have rooms with beachfront view and rooms with main road view. But it's all in one building.

Nope, di tatawid ng kalsada.

just got back from Boracay. Grabe, budget kill kami, 30k for two pax. Inabot kasi ng 9k yun food.

Weather/Beach:
Umuulan buong weekend. Kahit anong oras may ulan. And grabe din! First time kong abutan na may waves ang beach. as in ang lakas ng wave, yung mga station 1 stranded sa area nila (esp at night) kasi yung water nasa edge na. unless sa kalsada sa likod dadaan. or pwede naman, mababasa lang yun feet. Pwede din magswim, though konti lang gumagawa. Hanggang waist lang at most kahit guys, kasi ang lakas ng hatak ng water, medyo nadala nga ako papalayo nung pinaabot ko hanggang waist. Sa Bulabog calm naman ang water pero di pwede magswim kasi may mga boats. And daming lumot. Kahit sa Fridays pala may lumot Tsaka ang daming maliliit na bato, sakit sa paa at times.

Hotel:
Good news: Buti na lang kinuha namin yung Royal Park sa Book Below Zero (7765/3nights). Weird lang kasi when we asked the hotel mismo, wala na daw rooms available (mas mura published rates nila than BBZ na may service fee pa). Di ko nagustuhan itsura ng True Home, sira sira yung harap niya, may ginagawa. Bad news: naka 50% off lahat ng hotel due to the bad weather eh booked na kami meron 9k regular rate, naging 4k na lang per night, i forgot the name, pero beachfront siya sa may end ng station 1 or start ng station 2 (near astoria and sand bar), yun yung parang suites sa baba na glass door, kitang kita yun labas.

Parasailing: nahilo ako sobra, ang lakas kasi sobra ng hangin, 10 minutes lang kami sa taas tapos pinababa na. 3 lang kami gumawa nun during that time (before lunch). After 3:30pm wala na silang ina-accept dahil maulan na. Wala din namang sunset Diamond kami for 2,100/2pax. Helmet Diving naman is 600/2pax.

^ganyan din halos experience ng officemate ko, maulan din. sayang naman sis ang laki ng ginastos nyo pero di nyo naman naenjoy yong beach

[zee87]

we're in boracay din last weekend.
Stayed in TANS for 500 per pax/night.
Dun kame sa bagong location, 3rd floor.
We're 4 sa room. 3 beds.
Yung 3 friends ko na nauna ng 1 day, dun sila sa lumang tans.
Sa 2nd floor naman sila na may veranda.
2 beds naman sila dun, 500 per pax/night din.
Di na daw sila nag ooffer ng free breakfast unlike when we were there 2 years ago.

We were in Summer Pplace ng Sat night and Epic ng Sunday night.
There was no water activities for us dahil sa sobrang alon and lakas ng hangin.

Pero we enjoyed the stay nonetheless.

[unwantedP]

^^oo nga sis, medyo sayang nga kasi yun beach lang naman pinunta namin dun and yung party (na non-existent). tapos medyo kulong sa hotel kasi maulan talaga. ganun pala pag off season? di ko inexpect sobra. dapat cancel na nga namin kasi maulan kaso sabi ko sugal na lang. ayun! nanghinayang pa kasi ako sa flight haha! last year kasi october 2nd week, wala naman waves and bato-bato/lumot sa dagat, as in maganda naman balik na lang next year.

^sis ang daming koreans noh?

[zee87]

korek! parang tayo ang dayo sa bora.. hehe!
Epic and Summer place lang yata ang bukas gang madaling araw dun. kaya dun kame tumambay.
Mas madami pa foreigners kesa mga pinoy.

haha, nagbabasakali lang....

what would you recommend sis may pool sa station 1? nasilip ko sa net whitehouse mukhang maganda...

[rocky]

^uber mahal sa station 1 kaya kahit walang pool sa true home don kami nag-stay ng 2 nights tapos lipat ng boracay regency for 4 nights, enjoy yong room kasi may pool access & konting lakad lang beach na & mga restos

[guerzman]

ah, additional pa pala... meron silang mga speakers near the cabana, ok lang if chill-chill/inom-inom may music but if gusto mo matulog or reading, medyo disturbing.  Yung katabi namin na cabana, foreigners, pinapatay nya yung music
