Boracay Thread 34

[poetrytoprose]

omg I am so stoke! I am so excited. I'll be here on May 21. It will be my first time to travel alone so it adds thrill to my travel adventure. I hope to meet new people there and really have a great time!

I'm already arranging what I need to do and preparations!

[poetrytoprose]

Sissessss!

I need some advice is there a difference between staying in Station 1 and Station 3? I'm a little confused kasi as to what it looks like parang it's just along the length of the island.

Can you recommend what you prefer more? Station 1 or 2 or 3?

[blazingsheena]

^ ako gusto ko sa station 1 station 3 hindi ganun ka okay.. daungan ng mga bangka ewan ko kung ganun parin hanggang ngayon pero nung nagstay kami nun sa station 3 ang haba ng nilalakad namin to station 2 or 1 kasi andun ang life of a party sa 2 hehe

[poetrytoprose]

^^ ang weird kasi yung iba naman nag rreklamo sa station 2 or 1 dahil maingay daw pag gabi? :| I guess there's a pro's and con's in every station. :|

Thanks sis sa thoughts!

Booked tickets to Boracay. 1300 RT MNL-Caticlan then KBO-MNL. July din travel date namin. I m excitedkasi kasama ko mga kapatid ko and some friends. I'll backread and hunt for the cheapest rates.

^^ I prefer station 2 kasi malapit sa lahat. Maingay kasi nandto yung mga gimikan, kainan, souvenir stores, etc. (Which is palagi mo pupuntahan) Depends on ur trip or mood din sis eh. If u prefer a quiet or peaceful mode dun ka sa station1. For me pinakang last option na ang station 3. Hindi na ganun ka fine yung sand nya unlike sa station1 na parang powder na. And wala masyadong pupuntahan. Kami kasi pag umabot na sa La Carmela (which is parang end ng station 2) babalik na kmi agad [textspeak!] wala na kmi mkikita after dun.

[super bratinella]

Correct me if I'm wrong, Station 1 is the most accessible sa Shangri La Boracay hotel, right? Sa Station 1 ko kasi balak book si hubby while I stay sa Shang hotel..please enlighten me.

Thanks is advance

Thanks sis!

yung purpose ko kasi talaga going to Boracay is to relax and have a space to be able to write. So gusto ko sana ng tahimik without losing the beauty of Boracay. I think I'll settle with Station 1. I'm really just thinking between station 1 and 2 pero had second thoughts kasi maingay daw. hehe!

Yes, mas malapit ang Station 1 sa ShangriLa-Boracay. Pero di naman ganun kalayo ang Station 2 from Station 1. Nakashuttle naman kayo eh. Consider as well na ang shuttle ng Shang, sa DMall nag aantay ng passengers. And DMall nasa Station 2.

[aicute12]

for me naman.  i really prefer station 2. accessible sa lahat, though malayo talaga sa jonahs which is my favorite kainan talaga, but near Real Coffee naman since they have a new location.

sometime 2012 lang ako nakarating ng boracay. as in first time. from then nakaka 4 na ko punta sa boracay and ive been staying on the same place. Medyo mura, tahimik naman, near the beach, near d'mall. very nice location talaga for me.

[simang]

Station 1 during off peak seasons :-)

Tama, station 2 is quite crowded and maingay andun lahat ng events and kainan and parties. Di ka masyado makakatambay sa beach kase dami tao. Before we stayed sa station 2 pero sa station 1 pa din kami tumambay and nagswim.

Kung peak season ka pupunta, well lahat ng stations sa boracay crowded. Haha

where do you stay (the one you've mentioned above)? I've decided to take station 1.

[aicute12]

sis sa villa simprosa. ewan ko tahimik naman sa room namin. Clean din naman. Wala ako masasabi na masama except sa isang room na mahina ang aircon pero nagpalipat kami. next to tans guesthouse siya. medyo mahal na kasi sa tans hehe. kaya ill stick to villa simprosa talaga. And if swerte pa kayo and group kayo like what we had last year, meron pa kami kitchen sa labas so nakakapagluto kami ng tanghalian. hehee

[entwife]

^Sis anong website ng villa simprosa? Naopen ko yung FB nila, they have 1500php rooms good for 4 kapag low season. May kitchen pa.

Through bank deposit lang ba ang reservation? Well, I am still looking for other accommodation options. Super budget trip kasi kami. Group of 7 and sana may kitchen for basic stuff. Any other suggestions? Thanks

[aicute12]

yes sis. 7 din kami when we went to boracay around 3500 ata per night yung family room nil na may kitchen. not sure if nag increase.

Just call them, lagi silang naktutok sa phone nila.
and yes, the price is posted sa fb nila.

Kakauwi lang namin last Friday from our 6 days trip, unfortunately last Friday evening na confined naman si Hubby sa hospital. Hindi tuloy ako makag update dito. May rant lang ako ng konti, okay ang Southwest sa transfers kaso lang bakit kaya 700 ang singil sa anak kong 3 years old nung papunta pero nag 4 years old pabalik. Sa website and text sabi kasi 350 lang. Pero yung arrival booth binalikan ko pa para kausapin baka nagkamali lang 700 daw talaga kapag walk in, different information from their Jetty port booth. Ayaw ko naman ma spoil ang vacation namin para makipag argue. Kaya lost din ako, kasi iba iba ang information nila.

Kapag na discharge si Hubby, balik ako sa thread na ito.

[poetrytoprose]

Hi Sisses,

Okay na ba itong ibobook ko sa Southwest tours: Roundtrip Door to Door with fees (Kalibo) -- mas makakamura ba ako dito? Naisip ko na napaka convenient nito kasi susunduin na ako at ihahatid. And everything is all prepared.

And I assume necessary bayaran yung Environment/Terminal Fees pero does it cost that much?
