Boracay Island Travel Forum

Plan to be in Boracay June 5th-10th, anybody got the same travel schedule? Maybe we can go hang and chill.

anybody knows who owns a small boat in boracay for us to rent for island hopping... (crocodile islands, puka beach, bat caves and others) maybe for half day only...how much would it cost us?

Hi! My wife and I and a couple of friends are headed to boracay on may 8-10. We are booked at sanders. Is it a good resort? I got the twin share room with hot and cold water and ref for 2,500/night. Is it a good deal or a rip-off? Any good restos or turo-turo within the area? How do we go about if we want to explore the island on mountain bikes? How much is the rental? Thanks

Hi all,

I'm planning to go to boracay this third week of May by boat from manila direct to caticlan/boracay.

I have checked with negros navigation site and they advertised their direct route from manila to boracay. I just cant get the schedule (manila - boracay and return) through their site. Can anyone help me get the schedule?

Also, can you suggest an affordable place for my family (2 adults, 2 children) to stay for 2 nights? A place where kids will like (with pool or some games). Of course, its should be affordable.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I'm travelling to Boracay this Sunday May 4th and was wondering what the weather is like there at present.
I will be staying for two weeks.
I can't seem to find any weather forecasts on the net for Boracay.
Feedback would really be appreciated...
Many Thanks
Niamh

We will be visiting Bohol this September, but I also want to make a side trip to Boracay before going back to Manila. How do we go from Bohol to Boracay? Do we really have to fly or will a ferry from Tagbilaran will do?

i have just decided to just stay in station 3.. . do you have any recommendations to where to stay? a resort with nice, clean rooms... a pool would be a plus. or maybe a beach front resort.... suggestions pls.... keep em comin'! thanks!

I have booked a room at La Carmela for the long weekend in June. I was tempted by the really low rates and the beachfront location so I booked the room right away... without surfing for reviews! Much to my dismay most reviews were terrible! - but some said twas okay though. Is La Carmela really that bad?

If so I am planning to transfer to Escondido - a safer bet since I have enjoyed my stay there before, though its quite a walk to the beach and much more pricey. I booked through a travel agent so my choices are really limited.

I need your feedback please! Thanks!

hi everyone!

i just needed all your opinion between Frendz resort and TUrtle inn...

Frendz Resort...
located between stations 1 and 2
nipa hut style accommodation
closest to the finest sands of station 1
closest to all the restaurants and bars

Turtle Inn
I love the bed....
Room is big, very nice interiors (as seen in pictures)
downside: it's in station 3


has anyone stayed at TUrtle Inn/Frendz? How's it?

I would appreciate any reviews on the following resorts:

Villa Lourdes resort, Bans resort and frendz resort.

im planning to stay in villa lourdes since thir cottage is complete with kitchen.

please help me to decide.

thanks!

Im so happy to be here in Panoly. The people are very warm and I'm having a great time exploring Boracay and the beauty of its sand. I have a regular treat of sunset and warm moist air. I'm loving the sun and the local folks who smile so sincerely.
I will come again in December.

Why are there so many negative write-ups on this resort?
I find the stay worth my money and nothing has made it so far disappointing.
The rocky road way up to the resort isn't that bad and some vacation goers are just too demanding failing to appreciate the unique treat of the resort's exclusivity.

I will be leaving tomorrow.
Thank you Philippines.

Ei guys, please post the contacts of those who offers water activities like Sunset Cruise, island hopping, ATV, Parasailing,etc. Especially those who give the most reasonable price especially this peak season so we can reserve it and be able to budget our time instead of "haggling" when we are Bora. Thanks in advance.

I would appreciate any feedback on this resort and if they have webpage.

Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm looking for a hotel with the criteria's below for a 5 night stay at the end of the year over the New Year's.

1. Beach front on White Beach
2. Budget not more than US$30 per person @ night (can be twin, triple or quad share)
3. 3 star above, must include A/C and hot/cold water
4. Enough rooms to accommodate a group of up to 20 people

I was told by a few hotels already that they are fully booked during that period and some hotels prefer not to take in big groups. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Hi. I recall passing by a small hotel with a tree house way past boat station 3 towards the southern end of the road. i always thought it would be cool to watch the sunset from there. problem is i cant recall the name of the place and would want to make a reservation for late april. can anyone please tell me the name. of course if you would have their contact address, it would be super. thanks and have a great day.

ps. i did a google but what i'm getting is balinghai tree house but their website says they are on the northern end of the island. that would be after boat station 1, wouldn't it?

I would appreciate any reviews on the following resorts:

Fat jimmy's Resort,La Carmela and Boracay Courtyard
