Boracay Thread 35

[keisha]

awts, sayang booking ko, delayed uwi ni hubby. pag na re-book ako ng airfare mas mataas na, kasi promo ko nakuha.

[babykiss_625]

malayo naman ang La Carmela sa bars na may party. not unless magkaron mismo like LaBoracay?

Thanks for the info sis. Most probably we'll be booking in La Carmela in their executive wing. Any feedback sa executive wing? TIA.

ladies, meron ba sa inyong nasa Boracay ng Dec 3 to 7? one of the boys peg ko nun, baka we can meet for dinner or something sa isa sa mga nights na yun hehe

[17oranges]

Meron bang grocery na malapit sa station 1?  My son always likes to drink fresh milk so I'm not sure if I should bring enough for our stay (ang bigat!) or if I can buy naman there so I don't need to bring na.

[leihin]

^Not sure if there's a store in Station 1 but you can ride a tricycle sa main road and go down at d'mall to buy fresh milk from Budget Mart. The tricycle ride will probably take just 5-10 minutes to reach dmall.

Try mo sa MNL Boracay Beach hostel. Tignan mo sa tripadvisor yung mga review sis.

Hi mga Sis!

Just want to share my experiences. We stayed in Two Seasons Boracay Station 1 from April 6-8. We paid 78k ++ for our trip (hotel accomodation, transfers and airfare for 4pax (2 adults and 2 kids)

So far, okay sana yung resort na napuntahan namen, ang naging set back lang eh ang rude na staff nila na nagbibigay ng towels para sa mga naglalagi sa beach side. On our first day, My daughter and I asked for 2 towels since nagtatampisaw nga sila sa dapat with my youngest while I stay sa may shade lang. When they finished swimming, I asked my daughter to return the towels as we are headed to station 2 so we can buy stuffs and food since my youngest doesn't want the food sa resto nila. The next morning, since tulog pa ang mga kids, I decided to hang out mag isa sa beachfront and asked for a towel again. When I gave the room number dun sa towel guy, dito na nagpanting ang tenga ko.

ME: Hi, Can I have 1 towel please?
Towel Guy: Room no?
ME: (Gave the room no)
TG: May utang ka pa ngang 2 towels! (pasinghal na pagsasabi)
ME: Huh? Kuya binalik na namen yun kahapon, binalik na ng batang kasama ko
TG: *While giving me the towel "Babayaran niyo yun*
ME: Baket ko babayaran eh sinoli na nga namen - then I walked away

Badtrip lang kasi he was so rude. I complained him to the manager but of course he denied it. The manager asked if someone was there when that happened but unfortunately tulog pa ang mga kasama ko. I would understand if he approached me differently then I would have reacted differently as well. Kung ang tanong niya eh like this "Ma'am ask ko lang po kung nasoli na yung 2 towels kasi ganyan ganito, aba hindi - utang talaga..ahaha..at babayaran agad agad..lol

Overall, okay naman ang 3 days 2 nights. Kids and I really enjoyed our stay. We tried several activites like Helmet Diving (1,100 each pati kids), Island Hopping (2,300 although 3 lang kami), Crystal Cove (200 per head) and Puka beach. Although feeling ko ang mahal ng mga activities namen especially mga bata lang ang kasama ko...ahaha

Food wise - most of the time, sa resto ng resort kami kumain saka room service na lang, tamad na lumabas..hehe - nothing special with their food though

Ayun lang pala...sobrang lumot nung dagat, kelangan pa pumunta sa may middle part ng dapat para wala ng lumot, and kung party ang hanap, ang layo ng resort namen sa night life..we had to walk like 20 minutes then nung nakainom na, tricycle na lang..hehe

What is your highly recommended hotel in boracay?

[babythug28]

^ i go for Tides. not beachfront though. pero ok yung ammenities nila and service for the price. pag labas mo D'Mall na agad.

[LGV]

Pag gusto namin malapit sa lahat we go for Boracay Regency. Pag naman medjo tahimik sa POP (Pearl of the Pacific). So far yan ang okay for us ni hubby. We once tried Shang that was last year and that was the best Boracay trip ang ganda kasi ng Punta Bunga beach. Pero budget wise syempre butas bulsa mo after so mas recommended ko yung first 2 na nabanggit ko.

[LGV]

Try Sol Marina, cheaper alternative to sa Shang but they share the same beach. Sis iwanagin ko lang, nakakuha ka Airphil? Meron pa bang Airphil? PAL and Cebpac nalang alam ko may Caticlan na byahe eh.

[geekgurl]

yeah okay nga sa The Tides Boracay. Masarap their breakfast buffet. We also love their mojito mix, buy one take one pa pag happy hour. Not beachfront pero good location pa din kasi malapit sa D'mall and restaurants. Ang hindi ko lang gusto parang medyo antipatika mga front desk personnel pero the rest okay naman. We stayed there last year of october for 4 days 3 nights. Sa may 2nd Floor kami, pero one time nagising kame ng super aga kasi may ginagawang construction sa tabi tapos biglang parang may maingay na parang generator ang lakas. Minsan may party din sa may pool area so medyo problem to sa mga light sleeper.

Pero pansin ko mahal mga accomodation sa boracay kung icompare mo sa lets say bali or phuket. Di hamak na mas maganda at mura pa.

Oo nga..matagal ng walang airphil..lol

[forumera]

Mga sis to DIY or to book Kalibo-resort transfer beforehand? Arrival is at 5pm so ayoko ng delay delay, may nabasa ako na nagbook sa Southwest pero according to her observation nauna pa mga ng DIY sa kanya sa pagsakay ng boat kapag DIY naman baka magpunuan muna sa Kalibo bago umalis ang van/bus?

[babythug28]

@LGV, yes sis maganda din sa Sol Marina. love the beach there solong solo. we had our wedding at Sol Marina last year. not sure lang though kung every 2 hours pa din byahe nila ng shuttle. about 15 minutes away from white beach nga lang pero kung feel mo yung tahimik and you don't mind the byahe, okay magstay dun. under construction pa sila though. and strict sa number of pax.

@geekgurl - medyo ganun nga yung nasa frontdesk nila sis. when we first checked in at Tides feeling ko yung isa tinignan pa kami from head to foot. pero the rest, sobrang maasikaso naman. we were upgraded for free sa room located at the ground floor so wala na din kaming naging angal kasi spacious naman. breakfast is ok din pati service nila sa pool area. we will stay there again this December dahil may promo sila sa Agoda. 3k a night lang sila ngayon. =)

[super bratinella]

The first time I was in Boracay we stayed in Grand Boracay Hotel, ok naman 3 star hotel.
2nd visit - Boracay Regency, beach front ok ang service and  ang food nila super ok.
3rd visit - La Carmela Boracay with kids na ito so we are family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids). Super fun ng stay namin dun, so so lang din ang food nila parang halos walang lasa lahat.

^^^^^@LGV sis nakow nalito na sa dami ng backread na ginawa ko, PAL pala yung nakita ko

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis cheepee, sorry to hear that. Sa mahal ng binayad niyo ganyan ang asal nila?

Kaya super love ko ang Boracay Regency, grabe talaga dun. Super helpful and polite sila sa lahat ng clients nila. Extra mile ang service.

[izabelle]

^Yes sis mahal talaga. Hindi lang sya basta peak season, super peak pa yan. Pinakamahal during Christmas, Holy Week and Labor weekend.

I tried booking other dates and hindi na sya ganon kamahal.. so I guess iba talaga ang rate kapag super peak season kahit super aga din magbook ng flight.
