Boracay Thread 34

[caprice]

^^ sis swtgrl_bee, ang mura nga. sana nakapaghintay ako. hehe. nung february pa kasi ako nagpa-reserve for our stay next month. ang sakit, twice the price ng sa ensogo yung per night ko, same price nung nag-sale ang discovery shores at halos same price rin ng shangri-la nung nag-sale sila.  

[LGV]

We were there since weekend until nung Tue. We stayed in Shangri-la then lumipat kame for a day in Ecovillage. Very lumotless yung Punta Bunga beach where Shang is located. Sa main beach given talaga na malumot yan from March to May. Super mas nagenjoy ako ngayon kasi impromptu booking lahat as in Friday night lang kame nagbook ng ticket ang saya pag biglaan.

There's just one thing na super disappointed ako, never ever order the huge burger in Red Coconut. They have this man vs food challenge where in you wont have to pay pag naubos mo  in 40 min. So bale 800g of patty plus 250g of fries and may konting veggies. My hubby was so itching to try it so we decided subukan ready naman kame matalo sya kasi if matalo sya okay lang kainin namin sya for dinner since mukha namang masarap. So sabi namin sige pag di na kaya lets pay the 1850 then we eat it together, excited pa naman ako tikman kasi enticing ang itsura.

So ang dameng tao kasi picture picture pa yung mga nasa ibang table sa super big burger and the crew are also taking pictures of hubby with the burger, even the chef went out just to say goodluck. Eh kaya naman pala kasi nagstart palang si hubby kumain masuka suka na sya (excuse the word) susme hindi naman beef patty! Super fake naman pala, as in flour ito na parang hinaluan ng konting ground pork! As in walang lasa at hindi pa masyadong nafried. Grabe yung pandaraya nila, as in wala kang malalasahang pork. Parang sobrang unfair talaga, pinigilan lang nya ako magcomplain but we decided to send an email and send all the pictures as well. Kaya pala wala na lumalapit samin nung nilalaro ko na ng tinidor [textspeak!] "burger patty" kuno na yun eh mas sulit  pa yung angels burger! Ang ending we just paid and iniwan na lang namin kesa uminit pa talaga ulo namin at masira ang gabe.

Baka lang sakali mga asawa nyo, bf or friends na kasama nyo sa trip na mangahas itry to save them from stress. Kasi ang nasa isip namin if matalo we still gain a huge and yummy burger, but gawwd, grabe lang talaga. I have yet to complain through email but I will very soon. Sorry for venting out, sobrang nagpigil ako while we were there talaga.

[super bratinella]

^thanks for the info sis, hindi kaya ganun patty nilalagay nila pag sumali sa contest para intentionally hindi maubos ang burger?

[LGV]

Well sis may point ka, ganun nga din sabi ni hubby. So if ganun nga eh wala ka talaga magegain so you will pay for something na hindi mo din makakin. tinuring kasi namin syang win win situation. Kung matalo kainin ganun lang pero hindi pala makakain. So unfair kung modus nila yun sa gustong sumali. Turn off lang talaga.

[crazy_krizsa]

Hi Sis LGV, i saw that burger challenge in Red Coconut. Buti na lang hinde namin ni try. I told my nephew, bro and BF to try, pero ayaw nila. Thank God naman pala. Grabe ang daya ha. Actually sa lahat ng kinainan ko sa Boracay dito ako sa Red Coconut super disappointed. Walang lasa ang pagkain nila at yung mga waitress na nasa may seafood grill eh puro pacute ang alam sa mga foreigner pero nung ako nagtatanong isang tanong isang sagot ang ginawa sa akin.

[entwife]

magtatanong ako uli para sa mga nagstay sa shang. how much yung mga drinks sa solana bar? plan kasi namin pumunta for the sunset pero di kami magsstay sa shangri la. i need to know the quote para masabi ko sa ibang mga sasama. We're on a budget trip kasi.

And if may idea kayo about sa happy hour nila na parang order an entree then unlimited sangria, mga how much yun?

[ecstaticx]

^baka nga sis they did it intentionally para di maubos yung burger and to gain profit as well. Thanks for the warning. Hubby wanted to try it out too on our last visit but I discouraged him. Sabi ko sayang 1,850 kasi for sure di nya naman mauubos. Buffet nalang kami mabuti pa.

[LGV]

Sis crazy_krizsa and ecstaticx mabuti nga talaga hindi nyo sinubukan. Kame kasi we admit na super lakas kame kumain mgasawa kaya naman we agreed na sige kung matalo kakainin namin pareho yun. Atleast you made the right decision na wag na lang. Mas sulit pa yung buffet sa Regency.

And sis crazy_krizsa, never pako nakakain sa Red Coconut first time lang to, yung mga blended coffee lang nila natry ko before. Enticing pa naman itsura pero wala talagang kwenta pala. And tama sinasabi mo puro pacute sila ganun din ginawa nila that day kasi dameng foreigners na lumalapit kay hubby at nagpipicture with the huge burger so andun yung mga girls na nakadress. Pero pag babae kakausap parang napipilitan magsmile. I sent an email na and fb message kasama mga pictures. Hindi ko alam pano magpost ng picture dito sa thread eh.

[babythug28]

even the food on their menu actually walang lasa. we ate lunch dun last year and hindi sulit yung naorder namin crabs, pancit, etc. sa sauce nila lasang cornstarch pa, halatang hindi ganun kaluto. parang karinderya-lasa lang, not worth the price.

[melmedrano]

If you want a great tasting burger... try tilapia and chips (near d'mall talipapa)... masarap yung burger nila dun... haaay I miss Bora and I miss tilapia and chips. :-)

[babythug28]

^ ay true. we had that one there for snack ang sarap nga!

may naka eat na ba dito sa D' Talipapa? sobrang laki ba difference compared sa seafood restos beachfront? dami kasi kami eh. gusto namin kumain dun for dinner on our first night.

[LGV]

Nako sis wala naman talaga plan to eat there my hubby was just itching to try the burger challenge. We are more interested sa buffet nagkataon lang na maaga pa un for dinner alanganin kasi mga 5pm yun so nagstay lang muna kame doon. Masarap pa yung longga burger actually haha! And oo nga macornstarch even the burger baka nga flour lang talaga yun.

Natry ko na sa D'Talipapa para kang nagdampa dito satin. Okay rin naman. Sa beachfront kasi per 100 grams eh kaya sounds mahal.

^oh wait sobrang mahal naman ng parasailing! 700 lang kame per head november last year. Or ganyan talaga rate pag peak season?

With the activities dun na kayo maghanap marami naman magooffer dun sa inyo. Pwede din maghaggle sa iba

[missing_out]

^ yes sis...weekend nasa Boracay ako at yan na talaga ang rate nila super mahal.Buti na lang nung first time ako pumunta sa Boracay 5 years ago ang mura lang mga activities.Ngayon OA na sa mahal. Sa diamond yang rate na yan.Standard price na nila yan nakalgay sa table nila.Kaya hindi na talaga makatawad sa mga agent dun.And summer kaya peak season.First time ko pumunta sa Boracay ng summer hindi ako nag enjoy,super lumot.The best talaga pumunta don November-February sobrang ganda ng beach.

[jhandee]

yup mahal na ang para sailing, jetski nga 2k na ano ba yan pamahal ng pamahal ang mga tourist spot sa pinas lalo sa mga activities , kaya minsan mas ok pang mag asian tour eh ganun din halos ang gagastusin.

[entwife]

sis simang may contact ka ba nung parasailing agent mo? July kasi punta namin, weekdays pa so I think ibibigay naman nila ng mababang rate. Kaso it's our first time in Boracay.

[rhed]
