Boracay is famous for it's powdery white sand, clear pristine water, epic nightlife, and activities that let you explore the island and enjoy your vacation. Thus, this small island has become a favorite summer getaway for foreigners and locals alike.
My friends and I went there to experience one of the country's must visit places. We were not disappointed. I personally had a great time. I was also amazed that I was able to enjoy, explore and spend less than I expected.
Our Experience
We stayed in Boracay Travelodge Beach Resort for 4 days and 3 nights for a whopping 2,759 Php for 5 pax. It's an affiliate of La Carmela de Boracay, so we had our free breakfast buffet at La Carmela, and we were given pool passes to use La Carmela's swimming pool.
Jomar, our tour guide whom we just met there, gave us a good price for each activity we tried. Plus he was a good joker, so he really did a great job entertaining us. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to explore the island. You may call him at 09154072687.
Let me recommend activities we tried in Boracay.

Hi, ask ko lang po kung ok nman ang stay sa Boracay Travelodge? hows the security and how far it is to beachfront? tnx!
ReplyDeleteHi, okay naman po. Malapit lang sa beach (only a few steps) and accomodating and helpful naman yung staff. Secured dn. May heater ang shower, aircon ang room, ok dn ang housekeeping. Really cheap ang price, pero okay na.
DeleteSorry for the late reply.
Tick art museum is really cool! I miss the chance to go there when I was in Boracay. We're going to get cheap Boracay packages this December then visit the Boracay once again and this time I'll make sure to visit the museum and do the Parasailing (though I have a fear of height XD). Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana. December will really help you save a lot since it won't be their peak season, mas mura ang mga packages. Don't go there summer because (1) madaming tao and (2) sobrang mahal ng offers. Have a great time there. Cheers!
DeleteReally? Thank you so much for letting me know. :)
