Boracay 2012

My brother in law got married last January 6, 2012, so the whole family was here in Manila.  Everytime my sisters in law are here, my mom in law makes sure we go out of town to relax.  Before the newlyweds went on their El Nido honeymoon, we all boarded a wee plane and headed to Boracay.

Our hotel, Boracay Regency, had complimentary shuttles and speed boat transfers from the airport to the island.  It took us just about 20 minutes to reach Regency.

The hotel may be old and a bit outdated, but you can still see bits of its former glory.

We had a family room, which was really a big place with two separate rooms.  A hallway with the bath located at the middle separated both rooms.

We got a crib for our Shobe and I tried to keep her busy while Hub and Achi made sandcastles and I organized our room to prepare S for her nap.


MIL got us the full package, so we had buffet meals from breakfast till dinner.  Food selection was ok, and food was good, I especially liked the roast beef and mashed potatoes.

The hotel was right smack in the middle of Station 2, so everything was pretty much accessible.  Our rooms were located near the front so walking to the shore won't even take a minute, and we had our own pool right outside!

Being a bit of an OC mama, I would always bring with us our own electric kettle since S likes her milk warm.  Don't really trust the hotel rooms' kettles, not sure how often they get cleaned, regardless of which hotel you're staying at.  I also make sure I wash all utensils before we actually use them, can't be so sure.


Wasn't able to take a lot of photos but here's one of the cousins, A, S, E having a great time on the sand.


With the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people on the island each day, Boracay will always be Boracay.  The nicest, softest, coolest white sand beach your feet will ever feel :)
