Boracay Thread 35

[[-c-h-a-]]

are there any nice, romantic water activities ba in Boracay? Yung parang sailing lang while watching the sunset or something...

[beach_n_sunsets]

^Paraw sailing? We sailed with Red Pirates Nov last year. P800/hr ang rate nila.

@danda - Anong station yan? Meron ka bang contact no. nung nag offer?

First timers kami this coming 4th week of Sept. No agencies so DIY lang kami. We'll be staying at La Carmela, my tita was able to book their promo dun sa Philippine Travel Mart at SMX.

Wala pa kaming na-book for transfers to/from Kalibo. Ok lang ba na dun na lang kami on the spot mag hire kahit gabi arrival or much better to book in advance? Meron ba kayo contact for transfers na mura lang??

For water activities, siguro marami naman nag ooffer dun ng mababa. I hope we won't be disappointed sa first visit namin

[danda]

^sis sa Sunshine Place kami nagstay. Wala akong contact number sis e. Madami doong nag ooffer. :)Tingin ko sis okay lang na dun na kayo maghanap. Low season naman.

Andami lang tao kapag hapon. Hindi ko expect since low season. Hehe!

[[-c-h-a-]]

Who has stayed at Royal Park Hotel in Station 1?

[mishyla]

Nag Boracay kami July 29- August 1. Family vacation, group of 12 adults and 2 kids. Masaya naman pero since pang 2nd visit ko na ito, sobrang laki ng difference compared way back 2008 mas madami na nga koreans. Tapos andaming mga vendors/ nagaalok ng activities. mga massage sa gilid gilid and so on. so medyo off yun sa akin kasi isang hakbang aalukin ka. plus yung sa Astoria na ang dami nila na nagkalat na nagaalok ng free dinner/lunch. High tide/ low tide din that month so meron yung puting parang harang sa front beach. Ngayong september ba meron pa din? February kasi last time na nagpunta kami and super ganda ng weather, perfect talaga.

sa hotel, we stayed sa Boracay Holiday Resort, okay naman yung room, upgraded pa nga yung dalawang room namin. plus we like the location din, malapit sa talipapa. pwede mamalengke then cook na lang sa room (apartment type) and mas mura souvenirs and mga pasalubongs compared to D'mall and sa gilid gilid. (may bagong hotel na pinapatayo sa harap and sa other side so madami construction worker nakatingin pag nagswim sa pool. from white beach to hotel, madadaanan yung mcdo (so pwede na buy ng mga sundae and fries) , saka same way din pa Hennan and Boracay Regency (super bet talaga namin dun magstay pero dahil madami kami and pang 3rd destination na ang bora, medyo kulang na ang budget).

For activities, andami nila nag-aalok so dapat marunong lang mag haggle at kunin number then tanong tanong. hindi kami nakapag helmet diving kasi low tide na. medyo hindi namin naanticipate na mas maaga sila mag close. nakahabol kami zip line. ang saya. saka para-sailing, sa parasailing lahat kami nag-avail so yung 2 kids for free na, nagtip na lang kami sa nasa boat.

Balak namin ng hubby ko bumalik na kami lang or smaller group. hirap pag madami, antayan, mga ayaw sa ganito, ayaw sa ganyan. hindi naman makahiwalay.

next month na trip namin sa boracay! its our first time so excited much! kaso wala pa kami accomodation. meron ba kayo alam na murang accomodation? kahit hindi beach front basta yung medyo malapit sa white beach. thanks much in advance

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ same tayo sis. We will be in Boracay next month and its our first time also. Me, my mom and brother. We opted not to pursue the Iloilo-Boracay plan kasi nasasayangan ako sa biyahe na back/forth. 5D/4N kami in Boracay.
I was set to reserve for 2nights sa Orchids Resort Station 3 (1,080 + 300 addt'l pax per night) but a friend suggested Boracay Breeze Resort along Station 1 (1,500 + 500 addt'l pax per night) subject for discount pa. So I'm leaning on just grabbing the one in Station 1.
For the 2remaining nights, I'm looking for resorts with swimming pool. I might book Alta Vista for 1 night and still searching for another 1, as much as possible not more than 5K/night sana. Kaloka ang mga accommodation sa Boracay, ang mamahal, to think na lean season pa ang trip namin... Any suggestions mga sis?

For the activities, maybe helmet diving, parasailing and 1day Puka Beach lang. We just want to chill, relax, swim and enjoy the beach.
Hopefully weather will cooperate with us sis!

^sis I've been to Alta Vista last May, I would recommend it. They have promo now, 1000 off per night, pay 10% only to reserve through their website.
