Still wishing for that Grand beach vacation in Boracay but budget is holding you back? Boracay is no longer as expensive as you think it is. It's time you pack that sunblock and nice pair of bathing suits and just go! All it takes is the decision to finally push for it. Budget ai…
McDonalds in Boracay?Yes, there is already one and it certainly raised eyebrows of many.Say, what is a fast food chain doing in a prime beach destination? What's wrong with that? I like it when a place offers something for everybody. For pizza and pasta lovers though, there's …
Who says Boracay is not for Solo Travel?I actually dread the idea of going to Boracay alone.For the many times I've been here,I always had my wife by my side.It is after all famous for couples and honeymooners. Travel +Leisure in its February 2013 Issue actually placed it 5th amo…
Boracay was the final leg of my Roxas-Kalibo-Boracay extended weekend.An icing on the cake.If there is one thing I loooooove about white beach,it's that it's awashed with hot bodies.And as I said,it's not even summer yet! Weather is weird lately and some of friends were in …
If you are looking for budget accommodation in Boracay,this is for you.I was back in Boracay two weeks ago and I decided to write on the topic again since I finally found the name of the Inn where a couple (Ivan and Melai who met on the way to Boracay in 2010) stayed.My wife and I stay…
I described it as my "nicest shortest stay in a place" and that certainly is true until now----our 2D/1N Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel getaway.It was barely 24hours but we were able to do a lot of things in a short span of time.Indulged in delicious pasta and salads at Don Vito…
For those who are wondering how Boracay Island looks like from the sky,here goes.You will not miss it when you take the plane to Caticlan ( unless you are asleep) .It's so near the airport.When you spot it, you realize it's really small.Every time I see these photos, I always wish…
Although we stayed in ALTA VISTA DE BORACAY during our 2nd visit to Boracay, it was still a mix of budget and luxury accommodation. I am not rich so I usually travel with financial caution.Although it would be nice to pamper yourself with high end living, I don't usually go for very…
WARNING: Photo Heavy Post What to expect, 2011 has been a very good year for me, both in life and blogging.I have a lot to be thankful for and i can't digest all of it in one post entry so I start with my travels first. Last year was a mix of personal, group,local,international and…
Let's spice things a bit. It's gonna be photoblog Tuesday to diversify my content too. I am sorry if I keep talking about Boracay here in my blog. What can I do, I am totally in love with the place. Many do. And that's because there are thousands of reasons why. I need not to …
DON VITO RESTAURANTE, the restaurant wing of Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel became our life support during our stay in Boracay. Food is another aspect which makes a travel experience complete and satisfying.My 1st post: on THE HOTEL and our lovely room 2nd post: MANDARIN SPA and …
Yes, I've been counting.Now I can officially say that I've been to Boracay thrice and each time was an experience of its own. The first in 1997 was via RoRo (Roll-on Roll-off). We had to bear 16 hours of travel via bus and stayed in a friend's relatives. My readers know that i…
The moment you read this post, I am probably in long beach Boracay playing in the sand. Yes, my wife and I will be spending the weekend again in the 4th BEST ISLAND in the world. It was only last September when we stayed there but an invite from a famous resort there prompted us to go bac…
Now this is good news!!!BORACAY is named the 4th Best Island in the World for 2011 by TRAVEL AND LEISURE.com http://www.travelandleisure.com next only to 1.Santorini, Greece, 2. Bali, Indonesia and 3.Cape Breton, Canada.I know right. Bora is our pride. Been there twice and I saw how th…
Aside from the beauty of Alta Vista de Boracay, this is one of the reasons why I wanted to stay in the famous hotel---PUKA Beach. It's my favorite spot in the island. I fell in love with in 2007. Perhaps my insecurity during that time worked in a strange way. Four years ago, I felt so…
I was on a tricycle four years ago. We were from Bulabog area on our way to Puka Beach when a big construction on the hill of Yapak Boracay caught my attention.The structures are very imposing so you wouldn't miss it when you pass by. It looked like a hotel to me but it seemed that t…
Was supposed to post about luxury accommodation 101 but since the Philippines has experienced 2011's worse typhoon yesterday I decided to revert to a food entry.Not that all my readers are only Filipinos but I personally am not in the mood to talk about some comfortable hotel rooms…
Back to Lazy Travel 101 Boracay style. There are many things to do in Boracay, all sorts of beach and land activities are available. We have no particular plans though, Teresa though trying para-sailing would be great. Personally, I wanna experience paraw-sailing and Island hopping. I…
We went to Boracay without researching anything. The fact that I was there a few years ago made me a little confident that at least I will not get lost in the area. But for sure a lot of things have changed for the past four years. Still, I didn't research about what's hot in the …
