| Summer 2016 is the best summer I have so far- new opportunities have knocked, more experiences were added and made new friends with those who were just once strangers. One of the highlights of my summer 2016 is a visit to one of the Philippines' top tourist destination, Boracay. Boracay is a small island known for its white sand beaches, water activities and nightlife. I haven't been to Boracay before until my mom asked me to book us a trip to Boracay during the third week of May. I've been to a lot of beach trips since summer 2016 started but this quick getaway is definitely the best and one for the books! |
 |
| We left for Boracay on a Saturday night via 2GO. It was a one whole night travel from Batangas port to Caticlan Jetty Port. It rained the whole night and I wasn't able to sleep because it was too cold in the cabin. We arrived at 7 am the next morning. Because we booked through a travel agency and availed Hotel & Land arrangements. We didn't managed to take long lines for tourist tickets and instead got our asses off the boat bound to Boracay island! The sea was calm and everything went well. |
 |
| This was our home for our whole stay in Boracay. It's located at Station 2 and it's a beachfront hotel! Yay! They have 3 swimming pools too and a lot more facilities to enjoy. Special thanks to Ate Lea of Four Seasons Travel and Tours for finding room slots for us in La Carmela de Boracay. She made a last minute booking already! It was pretty crowded when we arrived because the hotel was packed with celebrities who were having their taping for Banana Sundae. |
 |
| We booked two rooms. One Executive and one premiere deluxe. Both rooms were situated in different buildings but still accessible the area. All the staffs were accommodating and friendly and they allowed us to check in 6 hours earlier than the expected check-in time. The hotel rooms were big enough to accommodate 4 people in each rooms. We had buffet breakfasts for two days which offers different cuisines that everyone would enjoy and appreciate. |
 |
| Whenever we don't have a scheduled BORACTIVITIES it's either we use the hotel's facilities or head on to the beach and walk from Station 1 to 3 until our feet hurt. Haha! |
 |
| Our stay in Boracay made me realize why people keep on coming back to the island. Yes, it's crowded, but not the negative approach that I expected. Boracay is occupied by accommodating and friendly locals and tourists and even if you're travelling alone, you'll never feel one because you get to meet new people. I thought that some parts of Boracay may be polluted because of the amount of people coming but honestly speaking, Boracay has the cleanest beaches that I've went to so far! The water is so clear that it seems like you're in a pool when you go swimming. There are actually so many things to do and activities to try. You'll never get bored at all once you set foot on the island. No itinerary? You don't need one! You can do everything on the spot plus in lesser amount. Learn how to haggle! :) |
 |
| Watching the sunset is definitely a must when you're in Boracay! Although some people say Boracay has the best sunset that they've seen, I cannot agree with them though because they still haven't seen Monte Maria sunset in Batangas. :) |
 |
| My cousins and I used to enjoy strolling at night in Boracay. It is when people start to come out of their hotel rooms and spend the whole night partying. Stations 1 & 2 has the best bars (for me) while there were only few in Station 3. I didn't go bar hopping though unlike my guy cousins and siblings but if I were registered in Pubcrawl, I probably would!!! It's one thing that my cousins and I regret. We weren't able to try Pubcrawl. I forgot to tell them about it and I only remembered it during our last night when we saw the participants in Hennan Regency partying when it was already too late to register. :( Next time!!! |
 |
| There are also different foods to try in Boracay. They almost have everything! I think I gained a kilo after our trip. |
 |
| While the boys are out partying, what do the good girls do? Spent the night at D'mall buying souvenirs and pasalubongs for friends and family. I'm not really into buying souvenirs for friends but when I saw how enjoyed Ica was in buying pasalubong for her friends, I was encouraged to buy too even if my friends don't ask for it. (except for Lovi haha. Hi Lovi!) |
 |
| Of course, Boracay night life wouldn't be complete without fire dance shows. They're scattered everywhere. |
 |
| Our quick vacation in Boracay was ecstatic and stress-free. Whoever says that Boracay is overrated hasn't set foot yet on the island or maybe doesn't know how to appreciate the beauty it offers! Don't jump into conclusion. You never know what you're missing! 4 days isn't enough to try everything (Bitin!) and I'll make sure to be back again but with friends next time! Thank you Boracay for a wonderful experience! Till next time! :) xx |
