Boracay
Boracay has a lot to offer. From watersports to shopping to fine dining on the beach and relaxing on the white sand beach under palm trees. The sunsets are also very beautiful to watch from one of the bars right on the beach. Boracay has one of the nicest beaches I have ever seen. Do not expect an uncrowded backpacker place. It is a very developed area but it definitely has it's beauty!
How to get there:
Fly from Manila Airport to Kalibo Airport or Boracay airport. A Bus will take you from there to the ferry and from there a jeepney to your hotel.
(We flew with Cebu Pacific where we bought a combi-ticket on the plane for the bus transfer, speed ferry and transfer to the hotel)
Book your accommodation in Boracay to explore the beaches and surroundings.
I stayed at the Amigos Beach Resort which I was more than happy with. My room had A/C and a balcony and a small kitchen with a fridge. It was also very quiet.
