Boracay Thread 35

[Tumblrista]

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.

Sis, any feedback on your stay at The Orient? I've scored a good deal and we'll stay there this summer kasi.

just got back from Boracay , we stayed for 6 days and bakit ganun every year pamahal ng pamahal  . Oh well, muntikpa kami maloko nung mga nag oofer  ng activities for the zipline, binibigay samin 700 zipline dun sa Mt. Luho, na try na namin yun ang gusto namin yung sa Fairways and BlueWater, mas maganda kasi yung view and mas mataas , pinagpipilitan nila yung sa Mt. Luho. Ang kukulit. Buti na lang may nakausap kami sa hotel nag offer samin ng zipline with cable car for 900 . Ok na din yun. First time namin na tikman ang Real Coffee , yung coffee nila nothing special pero yung walnut muffin is soo good.

[leihin]

Just booked my tickets to Boracay for March 14-16! This isn't part of my planned trips this year pero go na din para mapagbigyan balikbayan friend ko na miss na miss na ang Boracay haha. We're a group of four and considering staying at Tides, Henann, Residencia, Boracay Regency, Amabassador in Paradise or somewhere in Station 1. Hopefully, I get to persuade the group to stay somewhere more affordable than the ones I mentioned above haha.

Planning to eat here:
Dos Mestizos
True Food
Paluto at D'Talipapa
Real Coffee (for their omelettes!!!)
Smoke (best budget food ever- salpicao, chili chicken)
Red Coconut
Zuzuni (for Mati Chocolate Sin)
Manana (fresh Mexican fare)

It's our nth time in the island but we're super excited pa din!

[lizzietseng]

Mga sis, am going to Boracay this coming March.  Have you tried helmet diving there? If yes, where did you join and how much did you pay for it?

[forumera]

Woohoo natapos din mag back read.

Naguluhan naman ako hehe. San ba talaga tahimik sa station 3 o 2 o 1?

I will be with hubby and 2 years old baby. Prefer ko relaxing. San ba ako mag stay, suggest naman atleast the location, station 1 or 2 or 3?

May nagsabi kasi tahimik sa station 3 meron naman magulo daw sa station 3. San b yun sure na relaxing?

10 pm pa din ba last boat ride?

[lizzietseng]

Sis, pinakatahimik among the 3 stations ay ang station 1, though pinaka expensive din.

[super bratinella]

Nagback read na ako, thanks for all the info mga sisses. Just want to know the following please shed some light!

1. How much is the updated Environmental and Terminal Fee for 2015?
2. One time payment lang ba ang Environmental and Terminal Fee. papuntang Boracay Island lang, no need to pay kung paalis na?
3. Which is cheaper magbook sa Southwest Travel Tours for transfer fom Kalibo to Hotel or pagdating na lang sa Boracay?


Thank you in advance

[forumera]

Mga sis ano ba mas mainam pahingi naman po ng advice. Ang plan talaga 3 nights kami kaso kung 3 nights ang flight pa Kalibo 530pm so mga 9pm pa kami nasa resort 😞 sayang naman di ba?
Ang next option 2 nights lang ang alis pa Kalibo 11am kaso 2 nights lang bitin ba?

Hi sis, we went in Boracay last week of January.  Same pa rin ang Environmental at Terminal Fee.

Yung Terminal Fee, as far as I remember e nagbayad ulet kami nung paalis na.

Tapos yung transfer from Kalibo to Hotel e pagdating na lang namin sa Kalibo kami nagbook.  Marami naman dun sis aside sa Southwest.  Isang terminal yun ng mga van at bus paglabas na paglabas mo ng Kalibo Airport.  Makakapag haggle ka pa. 10 pax kami which is 2000 dapat pero nakuha namin ng 1500 yung van.  Sa kanya na rin kami nagpasundo pauwi.

Hi sis!

Sa southern end na ng Station 3 ang tahimik, bandang MarZon, Arwana Hotel, Villa Caemilla. Okay din dito kasi maraming budget accommodation tapos marami ring food choices, no need to always go to D'Mall to eat. 'Yung part na 'to ng Station 3 has greatly improved over the years. I think the reason why kokonti ang Pinoy at Asians sa bandang 'to is because may notion nga na magulo and pangit ang buong stretch ng station 3. In a way, naging advantage 'to sa 'min the last time we went nung November kasi ang tahimik talaga. Halos lahat ng kasama namin doon ay mga Caucasians.

Doon sa bandang La Carmela talagang magulo kasi andami talaga lagi tao doon at andoon din yung mga tents ng organizers para sa water activities.

Okay din sa Station 1, bandang Two Seasons at Sur. Maganda talaga ang sand dito and wide ang beach if 'yun ang habol mo. So I think, kung sa White Beach ninyo gusto, piliin ninyo 'yung medyo dulo ng Station 1 or dulo ng Station 3.

Kung tahimik talaga and r&r talaga habol ninyo tapos hindi naman issue sa inyo 'yung kelangan pa mag-shuttle or tricycle papuntang White Beach, check ninyo Microtel, Faiways and Bluewater, and Alta Vista

[forumera]

^ sis thanks sa reply

onga eh nasa list ko nga Alta Vista, do they still transfer guests to Puka beach for free? hehe, how much kaya trike to D'Mall from Alta Vista?

speaking of Alta Vista, bakit ganun ang Agoda, 5.3k sa kanila e sa hotel mismo 4500 lang, kala ko nakakamura pag Agoda hehe

[khymmmm]

So excited for Laboracay. haha! Tagal pa, I know. Mas naexcite lang ako kasi we'll be traveling as a group, last year kasi dalawa lang kami ni boyfie pero enjoy pa rin naman.

Sana hindi naman malumot non.

[beach_n_sunsets]

^sis forumera, try to check AirBnB, may mga Alta Vista units dun na pinaparent ng owner. I think mas makakamura ka 'pag ganun

[forumera]

^sis impulsive lang reserved na ko hahaha paid 10% of total. May discount na 1k per night sila Alta Vista.

May nabasa ako na blog may ginagawang hotel sa tabi ng Alta Vista so hindi na pure greens yung background ng infinity. Tapos na kaya yung ginagawa na yun?

And sis sapat na ba ang 20Kg sa mami dadi baby luggage? For all ah not 20 each. Pag promo fare sa CebuPac wala ba talaga kahit 7Kgs na free hand carry?

One reason why I never visited Boracay again after my 2012 trip. I was with my friend then, and it was her first time to be in the island. The first water activity we did was helmet diving. Just minutes after the activity, she started to complain of itchy skin. No rashes, no red spots. When we hit the shore, we smelled the water. We didn't like its smell. We walked along then we found that big pipe in the video. After that, we just did island hopping. 

[cohleng]

malumot pa ba bora this season? we'll be there on march22 kasi... excited =)

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis cohleng, andun kami last year March 23 to 28 sad to say malumot na.
