Boracay Island Resort

Boracay Island is to me the best resort island in all places of the world I have visited.  While it has been developed, it remains rustic and romantic in many ways.  It boasts of very fine, white sandy beaches.  When you step on the sand at mid-noon when the sun is very hot, the sand remains cool to the feet. You do not need slippers to protect your feet from burning.  When you step on the water, the white sand does not rise.  The water remains very clear.

There are points around the island that you can explore.  You get puca shells or buy puca necklaces in Puca Point.  Challenge yourself to the caves of Crystal Cave Island. Eat young, fresh coconut and drink its juice in the middle of the sea where boatmen peddle them.  Enjoy the fresh food cooked to your specs in many friendly restaurants.  You can go to the market and buy the fresh catch yourself or you can let your favorite restaurant do the shopping for you.

You can go to a karaoke bar and sing your heart out or go dancing through the night!  You can also just take a leisurely stroll with a pina colada in your hand and hold hands with a friend or a loved one.

You can enjoy yourself, spending only a few bucks.  The cottage my friends and I checked into could accommodate five people and cost only $45 a night.  Four people can have a feast of fresh crabs, jumpo shrimps, fish, etc. for only $20!  You can pamper yourself with a full body massage for only $6 an hour!  Woo hoo!  AND the swim....ahhhhh such beautiful long stretches of water with sandy white beaches!

Check it out yourself.  Do a Google and search for Boracay Island or WOW Philippines!

Bay, you have such a very nice and complete account of the beautiful island- resort of Boracay. Such beauty of the place no wonder is SECOND to none. That's  why thousands of tourists, local and foreign, visit that paradise for the needed rest and all. Next time around, let's schedule another trip to Siargao, the surfing capital of the hilippines! :-)

Thanks, Bay.  We're so blessed that we could enjoy this beautiful island.  I hope our friends will give it a try, too.  Yes, let's go to Siargo and Camiguin as well...in December, God willing.
