Personal Recommendation for Boracay Island

Filed in archive Destination: Asia & the Pacific on March 28, 2007

Visuals and words about Boracay Island were inspired by my week-long trip with my whole family 2 weeks ago.

I'd like to add a few personal recommendations to guide those who would be visiting Boracay Island soon. These are the establishments which I frequented (and liked) during my 6-night stay:

The White House Beach Resort - located in Station 1 (the quieter and more affluent area, in comparison to Stations 2 & 3). It's a small beach front property located beside its bigger sister, SeaWind. It has a swimming pool which is ideal for children. Plus, you have a bar and several canabas beside the pool where you can hang out.

Club Paraw - a great place to dine (beachfront) and hang out. The price is moderate and tastes really good. Although, the servings are a bit lacking.

Diamond Sports - located right beside Club Paraw; or, if you cannot find it, just ask anyone on the island and they will have someone from Diamond come up to you. They have the best water sport facilities. Plus, Diamond provides service galore. My siblings and I contacted them for jetskiing. They had a minicab pick us up at our hotel to bring us to Station2 where a speed boat was waiting to take us out in the water where Diamond has a floating station. Not only are their equipment well-maintained, going around is safe too. They have speedboats and staff on jetskis to make sure that everyone is safe.

Lemon Bar - located at D'Mall has THE best coffee, cakes and pastries.

Try them out!
