Boracay Family Vacation

valla-boracay No Gravatar

It took Five (5) Different Cebu Pacific Flight Batches from Manila to Caticlan and 1 Ceres Bus Trip from Kalibo before the entire family and close friends became complete in Boracay.

My Mom and i was on the same flight, while my sister Rich and Gracie on another, but just 30 minutes apart last Feb 14, yeah it was a Boracay Family Valentine. Then the following day, friends Karla, Pamela and Sheryl arrived at 630am in Caticlan Airport, followed by Madel, Rene, Yen and Kyle,  then Kalibo Party of Tita Laurie, Feby, Ansel, Clane, Lara, Bel, Doods and Samantha came before lunch time. Lastly, Kuya Bong, Ate Jane, Jaepher and Chrysha at 3pm flight..whew!!!

My family and I took 3 Villas at Nirvana Garden Villas, Rene and Company at BNB Resort, then the rest to friends houses. We just gathered together for swimming and meals. It was really a blast… Both of our resorts are all great places for families.  Spacious rooms and living areas for kids to move around.

Boracay offers a really great place for fun, relaxation, quality time for the family. It has something to offer for all ages, shapes and interests. :-)

Boracay Stations took care of all our bookings.  We usually swim at Station one, near the Willy’s Rock, at times at Pearl of the Pacific. We like it there because the sand is finest, and kids enjoy creating castles.

Boracay, is my second home and i love it.   It may be the same island, but always a different adventure and experience when i go.  I feel so blessed to have discovered going to this island during high school, a lot of our family vacations was spent here.

This particular stay was at Willy’s Beach Club, located at Station 1, right across the Willys’ Rock (Grotto) which they also own. Their  promo rate was P 12,000 for the 3 nights/4 (SINGLE occupancy in the room, meaning just me sleeping in the room) days which included daily breakfast and 1 dinner at Willy’s or at Club Paraw. My room had a good view of he ocean from the veranda. Nice Shower area, comfortable big beds, very nice friendly staff. It also included escorted Airport- Resort Land(willy’s nice van), boat transfers and terminal fees. I was satisfied with my stay. :-) Hmmm… maybe i should start writing Boracay Resort, and restaurant reviews.

Enjoyed the Salads and wine at Aria along the beach front in D’Mall, as well as the Mint Shake and Nicoise Salad at Lemon Cafe. Salad is about P 250.00 and fruit share about P 130.00

A must visit for Fruit Shakes is at JONAH’s at the STation 1, Luzette and I went there and saw Gilbert Remulla and Angel Aquino with some other friends, they were quite very busy on their cellphones while on vacation :-) very hard working tv personalities. I  had Avocado Shake, i usually like combining mango and chocolate or pinaapple and banana. Fruit shake is about P 80.00 for single fruit, P 110 for mixed fruit.

The beachfront transforms to a line of buffet restaurants at night, offering all kinds of food, Mongolian, a lot of grilled seafoods, steaks, international dishes to satisfy your palate.  We ate at Paradise Grill, Liehevol (both at D’Mall) some other restaurants i no longer remember the name lol…  In Paradise grill, its not a buffet, you have to choose and buy fish, vegetables or whatever by grams then you select how you want them to cook it for you. Shake Servings are really huge, you can get full with it. :-) Buffet is usually P 285 per person, excluding drinks.

notice how big Tina’s chocolate shake is!

Island Hopping and Snorkeling is always fun for me, we usually go to different spots , this time it was right across the new Shangrila Boracay Resort. Island hopping boat is usually 4 hours with snorkeling, at P 1,800 for up to 5 passengers. The latest i did was the Reef Walk.

Boracay is a wonderful place we are enjoying, so if you happen to be there, and see some trash, lets try to do some help to preserve the beauty and cleanliness of the island by picking up some junk food wrap on the shore.  Guys, if you happen to see any trash on the shore, please do take part, pick it up and throw it in a trash can. tnx :-)

Look at the fish trying to swim, let’s keep the beach clean.

Btw, for a great place to stay in Station 1, where the sand is finest and usually resorts are most pricey, that will not cost you much, try Boracay Breeze, its just a minute walk to the beach front yet the price is really really friendly, you will save 50% on hotel cost yet you are at station 1.

I took this shot from the plane, Cebu Pacific Air via Caticlan last March 10, 2009. Boracay is located in Malay, Aklan in Panay. The island is about 7 kilometers long, with a very long white sand beachfront of 4 kilometers on one side alone.
