My Stay in Boracay

The view from the bar on the beach in Boracay - Here is the view of the ocean from the little bar on the beach where my friend Claudio and I would relax and drink tropical drinks and watch the beach. From our vacation in Boracay, Philippines.

During my second vacation in The Philippines we spent about a week in Boracay. Not long enough! The people there are wonderful and friendly. The hotels/resorts we stayed in were first rate. The beaches are beautiful. The whole island is surrounded by a coral reef making for excelent scuba and snorkling. You can rent a speed boat or wave runners. There is night life and shopping and para-sailing. There are golf resorts. Every restaurant we went to was excelent. In short it's a beautiful tropical paradise and a great place to bring your family or just a loved one for a romatic get-away. It's a little bit more expensive than other places we visited in the philippines but not as expensive as Manila. The resort were we stayed was all cabanas. We got a 2 bedroom for a reasonable price. It was very nice, like having our own house with all the tropical paradise perks all around. Palm trees and other beautiful plants, sunshine and rain storms, boats with outriggers right there on the beach just outside and a couple of nice little bars and restaurants right on the beach where we could have breakfast in the morning, or sit and drink Mai Tai's and watch the beach and the people go by. There was a night club called Kokomo Joe's. It had great atmosphere with dance music and light's and fun. There was a nice out door shopping mall where you could find anything you needed. (The ladies spent a lot of time there) We stayed on the strip for the whole week but there are other resorts around the island that afford an even nicer stay for those who want four or five star treatment. A wonderful tropical paradise!thumbs up for Boracay!:?)

Hello bamiofar! I really enjoyed reading your experiences when you were in Boracay. It seems that the place is really nice. Honestly, I have never been there. I am aware how expensive the place there. I am glad that you got to enjoy it there. Thank you so much for appreciating the filipino people. I hope you could come back in the Philippines one day

It's good to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Boracay. It is one of the well-known and well-loved tourist destination here in the Philippines because it has the urban amenities in a beautiful island setting. You posted a vivid description and I hope others will see that the place is worth visiting. There are other places here in our country which may not be as good as Boracay in terms of accommodation and other amenities but are equally enthralling and enjoyable to visit. I hope you will come back again and explore more places here in our country.

Darn, you're lucky. I haven't even made it in Boracay. Ever. I assume you're having a blast here in the Philippines. That's a good thing. And--lastly, try visiting Manila! :)) People here are nice, too. Haha!! Happy MyLotting!

I have spent a couple of days here and there in Manila. I notice that things are much more expensive there. But there certainly are many things to see there. Lots of nite life and cultural things, nice restaurants, shopping malls. It's such a large city I'm sure I could spend as much time as there is and not see it all. Do you have any suggestions what to see in Manila for my next vacation? :?)
