Boracay Thread 35

[tinapay]

ngayon ko lang narinig ang Southwest tours ah kahit naka ilang beses na akong pabalik balik ng Boracay.  mas mura ba sa kanila if you add up the van, boat, fees from your resort in boracay to kalibo?

also, meron bang accommodation sa boracay na less than Php 1,000 per night?   overnight lang kasi plan namin for that kaya tulugan lang talaga.  max na siguro ang Php 1,500 per night.

almost the same lang .. less hassle pa!
try boracay courtyard.. we stayed there back in 2012 room lang talaga sya pero sulit kasi lakas ng aircon w/ hot&cold shower .. 2k sya during peak season so probably mga 1.5k lang sila for off season

fyi : under sila ng la carmela

^ mas mura yung DIY sis yun nga lang mas convenient sa Southwest lalo na for first timers. mga 100-200 pesos difference nga lang ata. wala na kasing intindihin eh. susunod ka na lang sa pila. naggaganito kami palagi kasi we have kids.

sis yung accommodation sa Alamo Bay Inn, nasa 800 a night ko lang nakuha sa Agoda for my friend. bandang D'Mall area. for 1-2 pax nga lang yun. kung mas malaking bed or 2 queen beds need mo nasa 1300 ata a night yun.

LSM Square din, mura. nakaharap sa Main Road yung entrance nya.

thanks sis jasta01! heard about boracay courtyard before pero never ko pa sila na try.

thanks din sis babythug28! will check those you mentioned.  2 lang naman kami.  ang initial na nakita ko is frendz resort kaso minimum of 2 nights.

kung konti lang naman pala difference ng diy vs southwest, might consider the latter na lang.

I tried Boracay Courtyard before nong first time ko sa Boracay at hindi ko nagustuhan. Mahina ang water at aircon.

How's the weather in Boracay now?

[charmed_gal]

gusto sana namen mag southwest, san po office ng southwest sa boracay mismo? going back to manila lang kase kame pa kalibo.

thanks 

[babythug28]

nasa main road, bandang station 2 yung area nya. medyo malayo layo yung nilakad ng friends namin from D'Talipapa. pero pwede mong ipasuyo sa hotel nyo yan sis. sila na bahala mag ayos and magconfirm ng reservation nyo with southwest.

[charmed_gal]

^ thanks sis  wala pa naman ako napili hotel, baka lang kase patungan pa ng hotel kapag sa kanila ko pa ipaayos.  september na kame sa boracay wag sana bagyuhin! 

[babythug28]

ah september pa ba. sis pwede mo sila e-mail para babayaran mo na dito yung kelangan bayaran. tapos a day before ng pauwi nyo to Manila, patawagan mo sa hotel for confirmation. that's what we did. settled na lahat ng payment for roundtrip transfers. para alam mo din kung anong oras kayo susunduin from hotel.

[charmed_gal]

thanks for that suggestion sis! kaka email ko lang sa southwest, will just wait for the reply. 

[babythug28]

^ NP enjoy boracay! kami sa summer na babalik dun para sure sa ariel's point

[jasta01]

Swerte lang namin siguro na napunta kami sa room na malakas ang ac at water
Anyway we'll be back there this Oct. Para walang masyadong tao ~

Has anyone tried booking hotels through boracaypackages.net? Mura yung rates nila kas di ko alam kung scam ba yun or hindi. Gusto sana namin via Agoda kaso wala samen meron credit card.

[chubbycheeks]

^ haven't tried, sis. But if you want to book online, check if there's a direct booking link sa website mismo nung resort/hotel. May paypal option which can be linked to your bank account. I like direct booking kasi it just requires 10% DP instead of the whole amount in Agoda.

[sassysazha]

^ thanks sis. I've already sent emails to some hotels sana magreply soon. Haha.. Nakakastress maging planner haha..

Parang walang Kalibo thread dito sa GT. We're thinking kasi since 4 days naman kami sa Boracay, we can spend yung half-day sa Kalibo day tour lang but we don't know the sites to visit there since January pa ang Ati-Atihan Festival.

[babythug28]

^ sis yung cousin ni hubby nagstay sa Kalibo dun for one day since gabi yung flight nila from Manila. the next day, hapon, saka na sila nagtravel to Caticlan. wala daw sila masyadong napuntahan. isang church lang and a museum yata. apart from that, puro food trip lang daw.

[charmed_gal]

^ napaisip din ako jan kung ok ba mag tour sa kalibo since ang flight namen pabalik ng manila is 7pm pa. kung check out kame ng hotel sa caiclan ng 11 am at mag byahe pa kalibo baka makapag food trip pa sa kalibo

Try booking at myboracayguide.com kaso full payment via bpi kung walang cc. Otherwise, 15% dp [textspeak!].

Any nice or romantic restaurant in Boracay na tipong pang anniversary date ba?

[babythug28]

^ if you have a budget sis, you can ask Sol Marina to create a romantic "dinner by the beach" for you and hubby.

[tinapay]

^thanks sis. papabasa ko 'to kay bf, haha! h2b ko pa lang kasi sya, hehe   how much ba ang ganung set up sa Sol Marina?  Sa Shangrila kaya may ganyan din?  actually ang gusto sana namin is "early dinner", yung may sunset view.
