Boracay Thread 33

[rocky]

^^yes sis jan kami nagpabook nong nag-stay kami sa boracay regency. mas mura kasi rate nila kesa sa mismong website ng BR saka 15% lang need mong deposit

[ficklemind]

hubby and I were in Boracay around 3 weeks ago. Habagat season so medyo maulan talaga. We stayed at Sur in Station 1, love the location, the beachfront is very nice, malawak, malinis, tahimik, konti tao and IMO pinakawhite and fine ang sand sa area na to. First time to stay in this location, before kasi sa station 2 kami lapit sa Dmall then next was sa area ng Casa Fiesta/La Fiesta.
Relax lang ang trip namin, we only did ATV. Most of the time tambay lang kami sa beach beds ng Sur.
Biglaan trip lang. Nagbook kami plane tickets a night before, good thing mura lang tickets kaya nag GO na kami agad, Kalibo nga lang, yung hotel nagpareserve ako nasa airport na kami until nasa plane na kami kausap ko  pa taga SUR, good thing nagkaintindihan naman kami 
Sana makapag Boracay kami ulit next year

ah ok thanks mga sis, pano to after mag book sa myboracayguide, need to call the hotel ba agad to confirm?

[melmedrano]

^ no need to do that kasi may email naman na-i-sesend sa iyo... yun na lang papakita mo sa hotel pagdating nyo dun... but you can call the hotel kung gusto mong makasiguro. :-)

[jhandee]

ok salamat sa info...

hello sisses, we're going back to boracay this coming Oct 29-31.  We booked boracay regency (our go to hotel in Boracay) but this time through agoda, hindi pa pala kasama ang land/sea transfers.  First time namin pupunta dito na through agoda nagbook kasi dati yung booking namin inclusive of the transfers na.  Eh ang flight pa naman namin this time is coming from Kalibo.  They offer the transfer at Php1,725 per person.  Ok na ba to or mas ok kung kami ang mag aarrange?  We're 6 adults and 2 children btw.  Sorry hindi na makapagback read.  Any recommendations?  TIA!

^medyo mahal transfer nila sis pero convenient since may sarili silang van & speedboat

[kreez]

^ oo nga yun nga naisip ko convenient...

But I was able to backread a bit, mukhang ok din ang services ng southwest.  ok ba kung dun na kami magbook sa airport or naffully book ba sila? TIA!

[shegie_285]

^kreez everytime we go to Boracay we do the transfers ourselves, even with kids. My mom said its Php250 per person sa van and madami naman van paglabas ng airport so no problem. Nagpapaservice lang kami pag gabi ang dating ng flight from Kalibo kase baka wala ng boat from caticlan to boracay.   Sobrang mura if you do it yourself.  Agree mas convenient pag hotel transfer (and less time kase susundan mo na lang ang susundo)  pero we find it too expensive. Having said that, more of cowboy siguro family naming and kahit hubby ko sanay sa DIYs.

For my wedding kahit mga foreigner kong guests hindi nag-arrange ng transfer (although from caticlan lang), ok naman sila. Madali naman sundin ang directions.

we were in Boracay sepy 27-30,we stayed in LA Carmela via PHilippine Travel Mart. It was our third time and first time to stay sa ganitong hotel, before we booked sa  may real coffee and sa Sunshine place before - station 1 - station 2. this time station 2-station 3, we enjoyed the beachfront and we saw boracay's other side. before Dmall, this time, Dtalipapa and dalawang andoks na nakainan naming sa station 3.

habagat season, sa gabi maulan - kaya we stayed sa Restaturant and we availed their buffer for the two nights =)

overall, 3/8 our of 5 [textspeak!] La Carmella for us, location wise okay naman, depende lang din sa preference mo - if you want to have a night life in the island - hindi siya advisable.


and by the way, I got two pairs of fitflop sa lonely planet. 900+1000 each only. happy me, happy vacation indeed!

[bigdadis_girl]

ok ang southwest for transfers.  900 lang binayad namin per head door to door yan via Kalibo.  expensive ang transfer sa hotel.  with southwest super fast efficient may tiga bit bit din ng bags/luggages may tiga payong ka pa! kahit sa kalibo ka na mag book just look for their booth.  no hassle, worry free transfer

[carrie0820]

May terminal fee ba pag pabalik ng kalibo airport?  Also, baka may pupunta sa boracay ng november, may nakita akong opening promo ng hey jude southbeach sa agoda. Newly opened ang heyjude sa station 3 kaya may intro promo na 1,470 standard room with breakfast. Sana okay naman ito..,

[leelou]

for those who are still looking for accommodation, may bagong resort in Station 3 - Hey Jude Southbeach. may promo sila 50% discount for stay up to Dec. 15.

parang mejo malayo lang location nito?

[rocky]

^^terminal fee sa port? wala na sis, papasok lang ng boracay terminal fee sa airport meron.

[mama squeak!]

^meron kaming binayaran na Php100.00 na terminal fee sa Cagban port upon departure. Iba pa yung airport fee sa Kalibo.

Ito yung mga binayaran namin na fees not including transportation:

Caticlan to Boracay: Php100 (port terminal fee) / Php75 (enviromental fee; pag senior citizen Php65)
Boracay to Caticlan: Php100 (Cagban port terminal fee)

[carrie0820]

Airport fee sa kalibo pag pabalik na ng manila.  San kaya itong heyjude southbeach? Okay lang sa station 3 pero hindi ko type yung sobrang dulo.

[rocky]

^meron pa rin sis kahit departure? nag-avail kami ng airport transfer sa boracay regency & iba yong binabaan namin kung saan nandon na yong van ng BR pa-airport ang binayaran na lang namin uli yong caticlan airport terminal fee na 200.

[mama squeak!]

^baka sinama na nila sa transfer service na binayaran nyo? Nung pauwi din ako in-avail ko transfer service ng Estacio Uno pero pagdating namin sa Cagban jetty sila na nagbayad ng terminal fee para sa amin. Dun din kami sa private jetty ng Fairways and Bluewater bumaba on our way to Kalibo naman. 

[rocky]

^i see baka nga inclusive na sa 650 na binayaran namin grabe kumikitang kabuhayan boracay, as in dadaan ka lang 100 na

[carrie0820]

^ Thanks mga sisses. Dami naman  mga fees na binabayaran pero parang walang improvement. hehe. Anyway, masarap lang talagang balik-balikan ang boracay kahit malayo at magastos, everything is worth it, once you're there.
