I'm here in Boracay.
We decided to stay in Tans lst week lang nagpabook. Goodthing meron pa. Tried to call La Carmela last week fully book na daw sila kahit off season.
So far ok naman sa Tans.
1st time and first night here in bora.

Ang happy dream lang po ba, nandun din po ang mga atv? Thanks

[subzero]

will be going to boracay for the 3rd time. and this trip will be so different from the two.

we'll be staying at La Carmela, we got a great deal at Philippine Travel Mart, 4080 for 3D/4N. before kasi sa may Real Coffee and the other was at Sunshine Place, both station 1. So ngay on lang kami magstay sa Station 2 -- Station 3.
Reading some Tripdadvisor reviews, madami ang disappointed. I hope na sana maganda experience namin sa LA Carmela.

Since this will be our third time, we will try to visit Shangrila and Puka Beach.

We tried the reef walking and atv before, nagiisip pa ako na puwede gawin na hindi mahal.

^paraw, maganda yon pag sunset

We're back in Manila yesterday. Here's the (estimated) breakdown of our 5day/4night stay (2 adults, 2 kids):
7,000 Airfare (Manila-Caticlan then Kalibo-Manila)
10,000 Lea's Resort station 1 beachfront accommodation w/ free transfers from Southwest
13,000 Food expenses, environmental fees, island hopping & terminal fee
Feedback:
-Our Cebu Pacific flight to Caticlan was delayed for an hour, our Zest Air flight from Kalibo was delayed for more than an hour
-Lea's Resort location is perfect. The rooftop rooms allowed us to have a super nice view of the beach in the morning. The only thing I don't like is the poor/unstable wifi. Also, we had to ask for our soap to be replenished everyday (they provide a super small bar of safeguard) and we left on the 5th day ng hindi man lang na empty yung trash bin sa cr. They won't clean the room or change the sheets unless you ask them to. Lastly, the website where we made our booking specifically says our room should have King size bed, terrace and fridge but we got a rooftop room (not our own terrace), the bed is just a double bed (though they added a mattress with beddings on the floor for free) and no fridge.
-We went all-out sa food. Everyday Jonah's shake. Super sarap magpaluto sa D*Talipapa since fresh lahat ng seafood. Masarap din and affordable sa Kolai Mangyan. Gasthof back ribs is to die for!
-I think hindi sulit yung binayad namin sa island hopping dahil hindi namin napuntahan yung Puka beach, maalon na kasi pagdating sa part na may bats pero naenjoy naman namin yung snorkeling

[rocky]

^hay naku sis yan din ang reason ng bangkero sa min dati kaya di kami nakapunta. nong july nag-trike lang kami kaya naman pala & malapit lang

[leelou]

dito sa blog na to ko nabasa (http://www.ibloglifestyle.com/updates/boracay-experience-the-world-in-an-island/) na ok lang daw wag na mag-island hopping kasi wala naman actually other islands sa Boracay. kung gusto nga daw pumunta ng Puka beach, mag-trike na lang mura pa

Finally, I was able to booked in time for my son's 3rd bday..Excited for our Boracay Trip.  Meron bang cake shop doon?

[badgurl23]

^Yes sis, Quency's bakeshop sa D'Mall

[sky_butterfly17]

^thanks sis..

anyone tried Villa Simprosa? https://www.facebook.com/villasimprosa.boracay

[rocky]

^may nabasa ako sa kabilang forum na nanakawan sila jan sis

bookmarking!
we'll be having our first trip to Boracay at the end of the month.  nag-backread na ng konti pero basa basa pa ulit.  we'll be staying at Microtel.  I know malayo sya sa kabihasnan, but hubby wants a relaxing stay.  i hope we all enjoy it! 

EDIT:
may masu-suggest ba kayong activities with our 7yr old girl.  Paraw pa lang naiiisip ko...  island hopping sana pero sabi nyo di sulit.  mag-glass bottom boat ride pa ba kami kahit magpa-paraw na?

[bigdadis_girl]

^Yes sis, Quency's bakeshop sa D'Mall

thank you sa reco sis, in time for my moms birthday. naghahanap talaga ako ng bakeshop dun na kame mag celebrate.  first time ng buong family ko dito (3rd time ko na) praying na everything will be smooth just like my previous trip.

^sis ok lang naman kahit walang activity sa boracay, beach pa lang sulit na...  kaya nga lang baka mainip nga si baby.  hindi ko pa na try mag glass bottom boat pero looks fun kung may kids, alam ko may eco tourism din sa bora search search na lang.  tunganga lang kasi sa beach ang peg naming mag asawa dun e.  lakad  lakad sa buhangin.


question sisses.  yung crystal cove island ba worth it puntahan? by boat lang ba sya pwede dayuhin?  sa 2beses na punta ko sa boracay laging nauudlot punta ko don, palaging katwiran ng bangkero maalon na.  si kuya nino hindi rin kame inencourage dati na pumunta don kasi wala naman daw makikita? how true?  feedback naman sa mga nakapunta na...

[sky_butterfly17]

^^^ thanks for the heads up sis rocky.. definitely  out na tong Villa Simprosa..

[melmedrano]

sis kayesl sabay ata punta natin ng bora, sept 30 kami. :-)

may kasama din kaming kid kaya kinonsider ko yung glass bottom boat pero nung nagpabook ako sabi under maintenance daw, kaya ekis na yun. may zoo at butterfly garden din daw sabi ni sis shiecg baka yun na lang puntahan namin pag inip na ang bata or pagod na mag swim.

[kayesl]

^ uy that's nice sis!  hope the weather's good during our stay.

my daughter loves the water and sand so hopefully di naman sya ma-bore kahit konti lang activiites namin.  i heard Microtel have some activities for kids.  sana meron pa din nun. i just want to try other activities. baka din kasi last bora na namin ito. so sulitin na.  Microtel already sent me the rates for the activities. pakita ko na lang kay hubby and ask him kung ano approved sa budget.

There's Quency's but I didn't like the cake we bought there. Baka pag in-order ahead, mas okay? There's always Starbucks for cakes mas sure kang okay na.

[sky_butterfly17]

^tlaga sis? What knd fla or of cake did you oredered from them? Small cake lang need ko kasi 3 lang kami andun baka di namin maubs if starbucks cake. Do you have quency's contact number?
