Boracay Thread 36

[mimi26]

My friends and I will be in Boracay on April 14-17. It's my 6th time already and will always go back. Station 1 is my most favorite spot kasi super fine ang sand and keri lang ang crowd. Super relaxing. Station 2 is fun din madaming resto and cute people around. Summer months ang fave ko though maraming algae pero keri lang dahil masaya ang island. Masaya ang crowd.

I've been there ng August and super lungkot ng island. Walang algae hindi siksikan but the fun vibe was not there kaya hindi na ako uulit. Boracay is for people na chill lang and easy going. During summer months, definitely not for people na gusto ng peaceful atmoshphere dahil sobrang daming tourists.

mga sis, anyone here nakapunta ng Bora during LaBoracay event?nag book kasi kami ng friends ko for end of april, just to experience the party scene. and upon reading your stories, parang nagsisi na ako.

 nakapunta na ko sa Bora back in July 2013, and i was disappointed. para nga syang manila (with posh buildings & slum areas combined) na may beach lang sa gilid

i'm just looking forward sa mga activities na gagawin namin, like cliff diving,atv. may suggestions ba kayo na other activities? (except banana boat/fly fish/helmet diving)

Yung sis in law ng manugang ko nag-Boracay just last week. Wala akong lumot na nakita sa pics nila. I think nasa bandang station 3 sila kase may pic sila sa harap lang ng boracay sands. Saang part ng boracay yung may lumot?

Excited for this year's Laboracay! We'll be staying in Boracay Paradise Hotel. Any feedback on them?

We are currently here in boracay and i hope no one else will be deceived by sun villa beachfront's price. Yes it is beachfront. Near the mall and station 2. Published rates are the cheapest among the other beachfront hotels. We are staying in the superior room which is good for 4 people. Staying in the room are me and my husband plus our 2 kids -- 2 yrs old and an 11 month old baby. Everything is ok until we were told on our 2nd day lunch time, not even breakfast time that since we have 2 kids, they will charge the other child with rate of an extra adult. Seriously? They said their room rates are good for 2 persons only and 1 child below 10. So as their family room is good for 2 person and 1 child only even if it indicates that the room is good for 5 persons. For an additional 1k+/day we should have gotten a better hotel with swimming pool. And the big question is why are we only told on our second day? ... Just a warning for everyone!

Sis @Gleek nag attend na ko ng Laboracay twice, 2014 and 2015. I must say na masaya ang Laboracay2014, first time ko sa island and first time ko magparty sa beach. Madaming tao as in siksikan. Nag enjoy kami ng friends ko kasi ang main reason namin ay mag party talaga and meet new people. Nun 2015 medyo nagsisi na kami. Siguro kasi yun crowd ay iba na. Alam mo na medyo overrated na ang laboracay at kung sino sino nalnag ang pumupupunta. PLUS super daming locals na magnanakaw kaya ingat kayo sa gamit.

So ayun, kung ang gusto niyo ay mag relax pwede padin naman kaya lang sobrang daming tao tapos mainit at nakakainis sumabay kapag oras na ng kainan dahil pila lalo na sa mga "must visited places or restos"

Depende din pala sis kung ilan taon ka na.  25 na kasi ko, usually ang crowd ng laboracay ay 16-21. Highschool/college students karamihan.

Normally malumot pag amihan. But this is my of my fave place. One since my mom is from this province (kaya libre ang bangka namin going there) two, this is the place i grew up spending summer nung wala pang ganun karaming establishments back in the 80s and 90s... Ang ganda nya sobra. I remember my lolo said that the island is enchanted kaya sa gabi daw para naggo glow sya. But that was long time ago. Now Bora is commercialized na. You just need to find the perfect spot and time na wala gaanong tao so you can really enjoy the beach

Will be going to boracay next month. Is it better ba mga sis na pagbaba namin ng kalibo airport dun nalang kami mag book sa southwest ng RT land traspo? Our hotel is located at Yapak area pa so dulo dulo ang byahe. How much kaya if ganun? We prefer na van nalang hanggang jetty port then boat ride, after that susunduin kami ng shuttle ng hotel. TIA!

[chicafabulosa]

Yes sis marami paglabas mo ng airport na vans.

[mimi26]

Hi sis,

Kame we always stay sa Taj guesthouse. Malapit sya sa Tan's at sa d mall, I am not sure kung magkano ang rate sa Tan's pero sa Taj P2500 per night good for 4 people. Pag returning customer ka may discount pa na 10%. Yung room nila before na good for 2 persons, natry namin na magkasya ang 3 tao. Hindi naman sila umangal

[_pink12_]

^^^yes sis, pagbaba na lang ng plane kayo mag avail ng Southwest. May mga packages na rin sila, pwedeng van+boat na lang since susunduin naman kayo ng shuttle from the hotel. Or if Cebu Pacific yung airline nyo, ino-offer na agad ng mga flight attendants while on board.

[mrs. sweet]

Hi. Meron ba kayong kilala or alam na van that can accommodate 19 pax from Kalibo airport to Caticlan? We'd rather have a private transfer sana. Thanks

[blackgreen]

Hi! May nabasa kasi ako sa Boracay Travel Guide na ang last boat na from Caticlan is 10pm. May nakapag-try na ba sa inyo mga sis?

[chicafabulosa]

^blackgreen - yes meron nang last night trip. Okay naman sya depends kasi if youre comfy magboat patawid ng madilim.

^mrs. Sweet, i dont think a van carry 19 pax in one go. Dalawang van yan talaga. Then just tell them you want to rent the entire van nila para di na sila magsakay ng iba. Marami naman paglabas ng airport.

[blackgreen]

^thank you. Okay naman ako dun sis. Na-try na namin dati 1 am kami tumawid, nag-rent ng boat pero this time kasi 2 lang kami ni hubby so parang magastos kung mag-rent ulit.

[chicafabulosa]

Yun naman pala so no problem. Yung iba kasi issue sa kanila yung wala makita like si hubby ko. Although i assure him na since bata pa kame na nagpupunta dun ganun yung ginagawa namin di sya comfy kaya talaga humahabol kame yung may liwanag pa. Swerte nga mga tita, mom and ibang cousins ko who has an id with an aklan address libre yung boat ride nila. Before kasi may boat talaga for mga taga aklan then tourist now kasi combined na so you need to show your id na

[junebride]

Hi guys!

First time ko lang din mag Boboracay this year. Was able to book JJ's Resort and Spa kanina via Agoda tapos pay later pa and free cancellation . Ang ganda kasi yung rooms may pool access agad.

May nakapag stay na ba sa JJ? Will really appreciate feedbacks from you guys TIA

[sweet angel]

mga sis, paano ba kapag mangagaling sa caticlan? madami naman masakyan duon papuntang port? magkano babayaran sa boat? per boat ba ang bayad o per head? pano ang kids? me iba pa bang binabayaran na parang terminal fee duon? thanks.

[mimi26]

^ Hi sis, pag galing sa caticlan airport, magtricycle ka lang papuntang jetty port. sa labas ng airport may terminal na, mga 5-10mins trike ride lang, i think 50 or 100 pesos lang. sa jetty port merong mga kung anek anek na fees (environmental etc) honest naman sila so don't worry. per head ang bayad kasi good for 20 people yata ang isang boat. mabilis naman mapuno ang isang boat mga 5mins lang or less dahil lagi naman maraming tao.

[mrs. sweet]

^^100 per pax yung ferry, d ko lang alam if may additional pa sa mga terminal fees etc
