Insomniac's Mind: Can't Get Enough of Boracay

Can't Get Enough of Boracay

A quick list :

- January to May are peak season so if you're going there at this time, be sure to book early.

- Station 3 beach front inns charge the cheapest rates (about Php 1,200/$24) but you can always opt for the pension house/dorm type rooms (a few steps away, still in Station 3) if you are travelling on a budget.

- Everything in Sation 3 is cheap. Station 1 amenities are the most expensive.

- It's best to buy souvenir items from D Talipapa (the same items at a cheaper price).

- Before taking the island tours, compare prices . Prices may vary from one boatman to another. Haggling is a must.

- During the long walks, bring a bottle of water with you (the sun will make you thirsty big time). And just in case, there's a refilling station in Station 3.

- Jammer's fruit shake (with rhum) is best taken at night.

Drop me a line if there's someting else you want to know.

Naku Melai, ayan may choices ka na nga. Punta na!

Posted by j | 6/17/2006 12:54:00 PM

Diosa girl, hindi naman kailangan ng big budget eh. Mas importante kung sino ang kasama mong pupunta doon di ba? :)

Posted by j | 6/17/2006 12:55:00 PM

naku thanks talaga jenn for this info...

ayaw ko na kasi sa hotel, ang haba ng nilalakad mo from/to beach. unlike sa mga cottages na nakita ko dati, as in super lapit lang.

thanks for this info.

hi thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.

I love going to beaches, that's what i missed this summerrrr.
you're right in saying that what's important is the people you will be with...that's why sometimes i end up traveling alone.

Hey there Arte..I saw this on TV...when travelling, travel with an equal or someone who is more, otherwise, its best to travel alone :)

I am quite weird so I say I like to go there this coming December. Syempre hindi peak season, around ten thousand pesos will do me good for a couple of days hehe!

Posted by jef | 6/17/2006 04:27:00 PM

December...why not? 10K is more than enough Jef!

Posted by j | 6/17/2006 07:32:00 PM

Beach babe, huh? Cool!

I think Boracay is so over-rated... But heck, it's still magnificent...

Anyway, thanks for the visit! Come back anytime! :-)

been there just once, and i want to come back... i think i'll try roro this time, from your post it seems not so hasty... thanks for the tip and for droppingby...

Hi Talamasca, isn't it great that Bora made our country all the more famous?

Posted by j | 6/17/2006 11:16:00 PM

Hi Lino, roro is a good alternative din :)

Posted by j | 6/17/2006 11:19:00 PM

Maganda itong mga tips mo.

Next topic mo, about Beach hopping, from Puerto Galera to Boracay.

Di ba enjoy, kailangan mo lang talaga mahaba bakasyon at stamina. The good old roro will bring you there. hahahaha.

Salamat.

Korek ka jan Mye! :)

Hi Jairam!
Thanks for visiting my site. Am glad you did as I followed your link here. WOWEEE...I've always heard of Boracay and how pretty it is, etc., but never had the inclination to visit. The Chamber of Commerce should pay you for the adz :-) Great photos, the fam and I may skip Cancun, Mexico for Boracay in my native land. Thanks again.

Posted by Omom | 6/18/2006 01:20:00 AM

Hi Omom, tnx for the compliments! And I don't think the Chamber has the budget to pay me, ha ha.
I hope you get to Boracay soon :)

Swell but what's this station 1, station 3 thing about?

Posted by domestic rat | 6/18/2006 02:57:00 AM

HI DR! Station 1, 2, and 3 are like streets. The beach is a long stretch so the people divided it to three stations, for proper identification of land marks, I guess.

Posted by j | 6/18/2006 03:28:00 AM

Beautiful pic. I would love to take that outrigger for a sail.

Posted by Pandabonium | 6/18/2006 06:16:00 AM

That's because the place is such a beauty!

Posted by j | 6/18/2006 06:49:00 AM

Posted by d3nd3n | 6/18/2006 08:28:00 AM

Sure, no prob Denden!

Posted by j | 6/18/2006 11:00:00 AM

i didn't know that there's a refilling station in station3. i love going there during off-peak season, such as october or august (bagyo! haha), coz there are few people. hehe :)

Posted by tin-tin | 6/19/2006 11:38:00 AM

Hi Tin, you can go there anytime. Kahit may bagyo, it all depends on how you spend your time, and who you go with :)

Posted by j | 6/19/2006 12:40:00 PM
