Kakabalik lang namin from Boracay... Stayed at Henan Boracay Garden

Eto ang muna ang masasabi ko:
For the price na binayaran ng boss ko (yes, nasilip ko kasi kung magkano), feeling ko hindi sya sulit.

Una breakfast buffet is for two lang per room kahit pa nagbayad ka ng extraperson at yung spread ay di naman ganun kadami at kasarap... dalawa lang yung consistently good (congee at french toast), the rest are so so lang. Second, rooms are big but the beds are not (single at double lang ata yun - basta hindi sya queen), average lang ang lambot ng bed at common lang din naman yung linens, nothing special. Bathroom is OK, malaki yung raindrop shower at ok din naman ang pressure ng water, pero nakakalito yung pagka hot and cold nya, di mo malaman kung kailan iinit at kailan lalamig... mahirap timplahin. Hehe! Tapos yung mga toiletries na provided are soap, shampoo, conditioner, cotton buds at shower cap... plus tissue. Yun lang, walang dental kit at slippers. Tapos yung room na nastayan namin (242), medyo may odd smell (according to my son and I quote... Mommy, what's that smell? It's yuck!)

Sony Bravia ang TV at Ok ang cable in case importante yun sa inyo, tapos yung pool is all over the place, very photogenic ang hotel/resot na ito. Tapos standard check in time nila ay 3PM, so kung maaga kayo darating... magiintay kayo talaga ng matagaaaaaaal bago kayo makacheck in. But check out is a breeze. Tapos wala silang shuttle to and from DMall. May mga tricycle naman sa labas in case you dont want to walk.

Yan mun at kailangan ko na magtrabaho. :-)

Been there last Dec.28-29, buti na lang overnight stay lang kami if not naabutan na kami ng bad weather. Lakas pa man din ng alon.

Holiday homes de boracay- station 3, good for 8 pax (p6k)got addtnl room for 3 pax(p2.5k). Nothing fancy in the resort. Maayos naman ang service.We availed breakfast buffet for p100/pax sulit naman. Just inform them if gusto nyo magpaluto. Advantage ang location just beside emall/talipapa. Easy access sa beach and sa market. Marami kang makakainan.

Sa water activities, gosh! biglang taas ang rate nila wanted to try parasailing pero nasa p1500 na rate nila. Money wasted ang island hopping kasi malakas ang alon hanggang tanaw lang kami sa mga islands. We rented a medium size boat for p3000. Buti na lang nag enjoy ang mga bagets sa banana boat -p200/pax.

Sa Station 3, andun ang mga camp/tent na nag ooffer ng water activities.you can haggle the price.
After 10 years ulit ako nakabalik ng boracay, ang daming nagbago parang kada apak mo may bayad.lol. Pero this time na enjoy ko ang beach ng boracay, before kasi summer kami pumunta at malumot ang shore kaya di ako nakaligo.

[purpleish]

sis mixxy16 ... P1,500 per pax kung tama pag kakatanda ko nag tanong kasi ako sa kanila sa youtube ... pero sana lang sa 3 na yun waahhh

** mga sissy's need suggestions pa base sa aking nakalap ito yung mga napagsama sama kong mga gusto kong itry sa boracay:

- Jonah’s Shake: shakes & choriburger
- Beach Hut Bar Boracay: shakes (located at Station 1 – mas better daw kysa sa Jonah’s)
- Big Mouth (pwede dinner)
- D'Smoke (pwede breakfast)
- Sea Breeze Café (pwede breakfast)
- Real Coffee Café (pasalubong muffins)
- D’ Talipapa (paluto, masarap food at mura)
- Nami Boracay Restaurant (overlooking ang view)
- Boracay Regency for Buffet Dinner (last night)

baka meron pa kayong suggest na dapat pang itry?? TIA

^ I'm not so sure sa status ng Zuzuni. (Last time I went to Boracay was 2013, and Zuzuni then was closed.) But I've always loved their Mati Chocolate Sin. Andun pa kaya sila?

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis kaice, dala kayo pail and shovel for sure enjoy na yung kid mo. But if you want water activity I suggest do glass bottom boat activity. Yan yung ginawa namin last March, turning 4 yung anak ko naman that time. Pero may kasama kaming toddler sa trip.

[riandrew]

ang ganda ng weather sa boracay last weekend! ang swerte!

ive been to boracay 5x, pero second time ko palang nakita yung boracay na ganun kaganda.

and btw, naabutan namin yung boracay ati-atihan parade. ang amazing ng parade ay nasa shore! one of a kind experience!

[island]

we also enjoyed our stay last weekend! sana magkaroon na direct flight from Puerto Princesa to Caticlan...

[swertengiha]

hi mga sis! we've booked our trip to bora this coming feb 11-13.
ask ko sana kung malumot ba sa month na ito?
also balak ko din na mag-stay kami sa the orient beach resort since medyo mura sya at bago pa ang hotel.

ang plano namin is DIY trip lang para medyo adventure lang ang peg since ito ang first time na mag-travel kami ni hubby na kaming dalawa lang.

any suggestions mga sisses kung ano ang mga magandang gawin namin during our stay?

[GABJUMZ]

Been in Henann Garden (Formerly Boracay Garden) last October 2010 and actually nagustuhan namin package nila so we plan to stay there again. We were quoted P28K for a 4d/3n accommodation which includes breakfast and dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids ages 9 & 7, airport transfer from kalibo-boracay-kalibo.

Inquire ko lang Sis did you stay sa premier or deluxe room nila? I've read kasi na premier rooms were newly renovated and deluxe na lang ang hindi pa. May on going construction pa ba till now?

Actually, one thing na nagustuhan ko sa kanila lalo na kung may kasama kang kids, aside from facilities (pool to be exact) is walang hassle  starting from transfer dahil talagang naarrange nila ng maayos. Pati boat transfer may sarili ang regency group so hindi kami nag aalala for the kids.

BTW, isa ko pa pala kinoconsider is malumot ba sa Boracay kapag June? Pwede po ba hingi rin ng ibang hotels na you can recommend? Siguro mga around P20-30K package for 4d/3n.

Thanks sis!

Sis kaice, dala kayo pail and shovel for sure enjoy na yung kid mo. But if you want water activity I suggest do glass bottom boat activity. Yan yung ginawa namin last March, turning 4 yung anak ko naman that time. Pero may kasama kaming toddler sa trip.

thanks sis! yes we are bringing pail, shovel and those castle building stuff. Will check glass bottom din. I hope she will agree to take a picture of hubby and I when we try helmet diving

[melmedrano]

Sis GABJUMZ, de-luxe ata yung room namin... ok naman sya kung room at transfer ang paguusapan. Hindi na-late yung husband ko pabalik ng Manila kahit na January 5 sya umuwi kasi nga may sariling speedboat, di na sya nag-antay sa Jetty Port nung umagang yun. Tapos yung pool, tama ka, sa harap lang ng mga rooms at mababaw... nakaswim yung 4 years old son ko magisa at hindi naman ako kinabahan.

Nung dumating kami may close/under construction na part ng lobby, pero nung paalis na kami, wala na yung cover.

I have no idea kung malumot pag June, laging ber month kami pumupunta sa Boracay... except lang itong huli kasi nga na re-book kami dahil sa Bagyong Ruby.

Ok din daw sa Tides, try to ask... di pa ako nakastay dun pero yung friend ng boss ko dun nagstay last December.

[greeniestock]

I miss Boracay, last na punta namin 2010 pa, I hope this year makabalik kami with our kid na

[redgirln]

Wanted to go boracay on march 28-30, but wala akong makitang cheapest flight.soo late na kasi magbook, meron yung mga tourpackage mga 5k+ kaso yung accommodation baka hindi maganda, base sa review sa boracay travel lodge ok ba dito? Pwede kayang magpaupgrade to la carmela? Mga sis.pa help naman,tia

[17oranges]

Sa Henann Garden Resort, 3pm pa kasi ang check in.  Pwede kayang ipa-safekeep muna sa hotel yung ibang bags namin para di naman namin bitbit everywhere we go while waiting for our check in?  balak ko rin kasi kumuha ng maagang flight.

[melmedrano]

pwede sis 17oranges ipaiwan.

[17oranges]
