BORACAY 2014

Our flight to Boracay was last June 03, 2014.
Cebu Pacific- Manila to Boracay (Of course, it's a seat sale)

Since it's a family outing, we decided to book two rooms. 4pax each.

We stayed at Milflores de Boracay in Station 1. It's across Crowne Prince Regency (Main Road). Less than 2 min. walk to the beach plus there's a spa across the hotel, Jonahs fruit shake, 24/7 store, etc.

Our flight was 10 in the evening, reached Kalibo airport at 11p.m.

From Kalibo airport, we rode a van to Caticlan port (2hr ride)

We arrived at Caticlan Port past 1 in the morning of June 04, 2014.

You need to pay 100 (Terminal Fee) plus 75 (Environmental Fee) plus 100/pax for the boat ride since there's a night differential. (The normal rate from 5am-10pm will only cost you 25/pax) and will only take you less than 10 mins to cross Caticlan Pier to the main beach.

The boat can accommodate 38-50 pax depending on the size.

From the Port, you need to ride a minicab or tricycle to go to your hotel (Minicab Php 300, Tricycle- Php 150)

I could say that the hotel receptionist was so accommodating. When we arrived around 2 or 3 in the morning.She served us welcome drinks , asked us what we want for breakfast and gave us the key to our room (Rm. 303)

The room is quite big for us (Room is for 2 pax w/ breakfast. max of 4 pax per room, no extra charge for additional 2 guests) plus they also offer free beach towels.) The restroom is also spacious plus the beds are extra comfy.

SINULOG Xiii

Pit Senyor!

 First time to attend Sinulog Festival in Cebu City.

We stayed in Radisson Blu beside SM Cebu. 

Booked our flight almost a year before the trip to avail the seat sale promo.

Stayed there for almost 4 days, nothing much to do. 

Party every night.

Friday: MNLA- CEBU

Saturday: Nothing Much. Malling

Sunday: Sinulog Event

Monday: Last day in Cebu

Im not a fan of Lechon but when I tried Zubuchon, gawd! The best!

Try the grilled stuffed squid with lechon, sinigang and of course the LECHON

Book in advance the island tour since it's a jam packed season. 

No need to wear a fancy dress or heels since it's a street party. Just wear comfy flats or sneakers, tank top and shorts. It's too hot and crowded plus most of the streets are closed during Sinulog so be ready for long walks.

BORACAY PHOTO DIARY

Honestly, it's my first time to go to Boracay so I did a few research about the place. There are two airports in Aklan (Kalibo and Caticlan) If you're going to Boracay, I advise you book a ticket to Caticlan. 

From the airport of Kalibo, (1) you need to ride a mini van for almost 2 hours going to Caticlan , (2) ride a boat for 10-15 mins, (3) ride a tryc going to the Beach

From Caticlan, you'll only ride a boat and a tryc to the beach.

We booked our hotel in Agoda (online hotel booking) and decided to stay in Station 1

Packed a few clothes for my 4 day vacation from work, stress, etc.

 Our first night in the Beach

We had dinner in Astoria de Boracay near our hotel then had a few bottles of beer. 

Boracay is a good place to relax and enjoy. There are lots of massage spaces in the beach which costs only (Php 150-250 or $4-$5) drinking spots (from reggae to party sounds), restaurants and souvenir shops

We went snorkeling, para sailing, island hopping, etc. "DONT FORGET TO BARGAIN AND ASK FOR DISCOUNT"

"DONT FORGET TO TRY THE FRESH FRUIT SHAKE"
