Just got back from our Boracay trip! Thanks to our dear friends who made this long-overdue honeymoon possible! :-)
Date: May 5-7, 2011
Where: Boracay (located in Aklan, Western Visayas, it is known for its powdery white sand and considered as one of the best beaches in the Philippines, and the rest of the world.)
Getting There: Local airlines have daily flights from Manila to Kalibo or Caticlan. Since we were coming from Iloilo, we traveled 5 1/2 hours by bus.
Accomodation: BalingHai Beach Resort
It is a secluded resort with its own beach, which makes it a perfect getaway for honeymooners like us who needed privacy and some peace and quiet. The resort was built strategically to look as if it's part of the surrounding natural environment, hence the cottages were all hand-made and designed with treated wood, cement and rocks. It's a bit far from the main Boracay beach area (15-min tricycle ride at the most) where more resorts, clubs, shops, dining places and water activities are being offered.
We stayed at the "Tree House" cottage. Here's a sneak peek:
Hopefully, on our next trip to Boracay, we'll have our own kid to bring along. :-)
