If you’re vacationing in the Philippines, make certain you permit at least a couple of days for a stay at Boracay. Speaking from experience, this really is a stunning spot with white sand beaches and a lot of actions to stop boredom at bay.
This tropical isle is a short flight from Manila, about 200 miles south of Manila. Flights are inexpensive and Boracay is well worth the cost and your time.
The island is small, just a little much more than 10 square kilometers, dog-bone shaped and just northwest of Panay Island in the Western Visayas. Although the island is little, there are much more than 4 kilometers of seaside. The two primary beaches are White beach and Bulabog seaside. White beach is on the western side of the island and Bulabog seaside is on the eastern side.
Actions consist of snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing and kite boarding. There is a world-class golf course as well! The windsurfing is superb here; actually, Boracay Island is really a venue about the Asian Windsurfing Tour. You are able to also hook-up with local tour guides for cave exploration and rides in native boats. Naturally, there’s time to relax and sightsee as well!
The place is certainly a tourist destination with all the negatives implied therein. Although I’m a little jaded, I really had a great time there and left feeling that I had gotten my money’s worth. From me, that’s saying a lot!
There’s ample lodging available here in Boracay, including any number of hotels, and lodges. Should you want a holiday rental, they’re here as well.
After a short time of searching the Web, I found a affordable holiday rental. I’m not suggesting this is the one for you, but I liked it for the following reasons.
Very first, I’m frugal, not cheap, FRUGAL! This listing describes a two-story villa in the native style. I like this because I want to really encounter the Filipino lifestyle. For this specific property, only a two night minimum stay is needed. The cost is $70.00 (USD) per night, roughly 3200 pesos. The property faces White seaside and has all the amenities. It sleeps three, has a full kitchen such as all the utensils, queen bed and twin bed with all linens, washer, air-conditioning, refrigerator, cable/satellite television, wireless web, deck, balcony, seaside view, mountain view and a BBQ grill. Ahhhh, heaven!
The longer you’re willing to stay, the lower the nightly rate. It drops all of the method to $50.00 (USD) for a fourteen night stay. If you want to stay a month, by all means, do so, for $945.00 a month! This is truly reasonable in a resort setting.
There are lots of properties to choose from. I don’t want you to feel this may be the only one. I chose this one for location, price and amenities. Not necessarily in that order! No matter what lodgings you choose, I can all but guaranty you’ll appreciate Boracay. It offers friendly individuals, plenty to do and some of the most beautiful scenery within the world.
