Hey all! I am travelling to Philippines early in thee month of September!
Looking for suggestions/advice? Places to visit. I’m looking for a mix of peaceful days and louder evenings. Has anyone been here during the monsoon? How’s the weather situation? Mostly spending time in and around manila and boracay
No hate, I'm just keeping it real. I think you can't enjoy boracay without their activities based on my experience. Yes, The sunset and the view is breathtaking. But other activities really does make a difference. Particularly the other islands around it.
It doesn't matter where you get the activity package, Sa mga local na nag a-alok along stations man yan o sa mga pribadong package tour/activities, You gotta get them in order to enjoy your stay.
After ng mga activities, Parang hindi ko na nakikita sarili ko na pumunta ulit sa boracay para lang tignan ang araw na umakyat sa umaga at bumaba sa dapit-hapon at mag-inom sa gabi at ulitin ulit kinabukasan. To some, It is theraputic. For me, I think i saw too many beaches in the Philippines that is relatively and absolutely not greater but somewhat beautifully equal when comparing them with the boracay islands.
Ayun lang gusto ko lang mag share at salamat sa ginugol mong oras sa pagbabasa.
Found a hole in the wall away from the busy areas of boracay. Definitely the best eats we had during our 5-day stay, Kingfisher bistro. Kansi for 199 ftw
Guys trips in janauary 2027
So I am planning a 4D3N trip for my senior parents and uncle in Boracay. There are two dates we are looking into:
It will be my family's first time in Boracay, so I would like it if they could experience it without any issues. That means ideal weather, no algae bloom, and fewer crowds.
The February dates were my first choice pero I'm torn because some said nag s-start na daw algae bloom by then, pero it has the closest weather to a summer feels daw. I only considered the January dates because it's in between known events (Ati-Atihan, Chinese New Year, and Valentines).
What do you guys think?
We are eyeing a 2-night stay in a 4-star resort, then transfer to a 5-star resort on the final night as my treat to them. Please help me suggest other resorts (aside sa Shangri-la) that accepts 4 people in a room kasi halos makita ko lang is maximum 3 occupancy.
Thank you!
What activities to do in this rainy season in Boracay? Plan ko sana mag Parawsailing and party boat but with this weather malabo ko ata magawa yun huhu. Need suggestions pls. Thank you!
Hi! It will be my first time traveling solo and visiting Boracay. Is Boracay solo-travel-friendly and safe?
Looking for recommendations for a legit and really good massage place in Boracay. Yung detailed at maayos talaga mag-massage, super relaxing, and masasabi mong sulit yung binayad mo.
Preferably yung place na na-try niyo personally, hindi kayo na-disappoint, at babalikan niyo talaga if given the chance.
Please drop the name of the place, recommended massage/treatment, and estimated price if you remember. Bonus na rin kung may specific therapist kayong mare-recommend. 😄
Salamat! Drop your tried-and-tested recos below. 🙏
Just after 5pm. Drums beating. People flocking to get a view. Boats crisscrossing, making it even more magical when an opening appears. Water and reflections that almost look like a simulation. Such a cool and unforgettable experience. Truly one of the most beautiful places.
Its raining here in Manila and I have tickets to Boracay on Wednesday. Planning if I push thru or not 😅
Last time I went to Boracay was 2022, does anyone have recommendations on where to eat and chill?
So for context, I recently booked a room for 3 days for me, my mother, and sister. The mode of payment that I used was through QR PH scanned through my Landbank app. I already received my confirmation email, and there I saw that my mode of payment was credit card.
However, my issue was, in one of their policy, Card Fraud Control Policy:
It says that for all credit/debit card transactions including third-party transactions (the card owner and booking name are different), guests must present the valid/active actual physical card used upon check-in for further verification (an inactive card or a card copy is not allowed).
My problem was, I do not have any physical card, because my Landbank savings account is my payroll cars for work (I'm a government contractual employee). My question is this, since it's in their policy, is there a possibility that the first payment that I paid will be forfeited? and not refunded to me?
Please help me out. I'm a recent graduate, and this is my first time bringing my mother and sister to Boracay. I'm kinda nervous, because it's a huge amount for me.
Hello, 2nd time traveling to boracay this week. Okay na po ba yun 15k na budget for pocket money 5d4n? Paid na po hotel and ticket. Gusto ko lang ng chill stay, like walk and discover lang yun mismo beach, not too much water activities. Siguro we’re considering doing paraw sailing lang. Thank you!
Hello we plan to change our hotel po from La Carmela to any of the above choices. Ano po pinaka OK sa tatlo?
Thank you.
