Hi, people. Have you been to Boracay? Have you experienced its magic?
I have figured out why I love the island. It's not the resorts and hotels on it because I have been to better ones. It's not the food because I have eaten the same food at lower prices some place else. It's not the white sand and the water because, where i live, we also have powder white sand and water that does not have algae.
I guess it's the "mood" of the island. the resorts/hotels, food, white sand and water together with the silent agreement of everyone--the locals, guests and tourists, who is in the island they are there to relax and have good clean fun. everyone is light-hearted and, i guess, happy to be there. With that mood, you can't help but sit back, let go of your tensions and just enjoy the simple pleasure of watching the sailboats dancing on the water and the sunset that is just spectacular.

Hey there! I Haven't been to boracay, but I've heard a lot of good things about the island resort. I would love to go there if I can have the time. I've been to bohol before and it is an awesome place. If you're gonna ask me to compare bohol and boracay, even if I haven't been to boracay, I would choose bohol to be my choice. In boracay what other things can you do? enjoy, mainly, the beach right? At bohol you can do almost everything. Everything you wanna do at boracay you can do it all at bohol. At bohol there are things that you can do that you can't be able to in boracay.

yeah i've been to Boracay 4 times already. I love the place so much especially the sunset but Boracay is a beach haven for people who wants to have a blast on party and getting laid. LOL If you want to have a peaceful vacation in a real nice beach...I would suggest going to Bohol. Snorkeling is way better in Bohol too. you'll see different species of fish with different sizes too. you wont ever see that in Boracay except some starfish and baby fishes.

I went to Boracay like 10 years ago. It was so clean and peaceful then. I'm not a beachy person so I haven't been back since, although my friends love i over there. I don't see the point in spending money just to stay at a beach, get dark, and get a hang over. I'd rather spend my hard earned money shopping here in the Metro or jetting off to Hong Kong. :)
