hmm, sadly not yet, I haven't got the chance to visit it but I think soon, I may have the chance to go there, just don't have time and money for that right now. But it's really one of the coolest and wonderful tourist spot and island that the Philippines have. I'm really like to go there someday, perhaps by next summer, I may go there with my family.

No, I haven't visited Boracay but hopefully I will visit it. Many people says good thins about Boracay. I think should had a budget to go there. If ever I had a chance to go there, It will be my first time to ride an airplane. There's another option to go there but it almost takes I think half a day to go there.

No I still haven't visited Boracay but we're planning to go there next year during summer season but definitely not a Holiday season especially holy week as the place get crowded during those times. Boracay is a tropical island located approximately 315km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2km off the northwest tip of the island of Panay in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. The island comprises the barangays of Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak (3 of the 17 barangays which make up the municipality of Malay), and is under the administrative control of the Philippine Tourism Authority in coordination with the Provincial Government of Aklan Boracay Island is located off the northwest corner of the island of Panay, and belongs to the Western Visayas island-group, or Region VI, of the Philippines. The island is approximately seven kilometers long, dog-bone shaped with the narrowest spot being less than one kilometer wide, and has a total land area of 10.32 square kilometers. South-facing Cagban Beach is located across a small strait from the jetty port at Caticlan on Panay island, and the Cagban jetty port serves as Boracay's main entry and exit point during most of the year. When wind and sea conditions dictate, east-facing Tambisaan Beach serves as an alternative entry and exit point. Boracay's two primary tourism beaches, White Beach and Bulabog Beach, are located on opposite sides of the island's narrow central area. White Beach faces westwards and Bulabog Beach faces eastwards. The island also has several other beaches. White Beach is the main tourism beach. It is a bit over four kilometers long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses. In the central portion, for about two kilometers, there is a footpath known as the Beachfront Path separating the beach itself from the establishments located along it. North and south of the Beachfront Path, beachfront establishments do literally front along the beach itself. Several roads and paths connect the Beachfront Path with Boracay's Main Road, a vehicular road which runs the length of the island. At the extreme northern end of White Beach, a footpath runs around the headland there and connects White Beach with Diniwid Beach. Bulabog Beach, across the island from White Beach, is a secondary tourism beach and Boracay's main windsurfing and kiteboarding area. Boracay is divided, for land use and conservation purposes, into 400 hectares of preserved forestland and 628.96 hectares of agricultural Land.[

Yeah, the place does grow on you doesnt it? Im not sure if Im going to visit it again though. I mean as much as Id love to, there are still a lot of places in the world and even the country that I havent visited and the life span of people as well as the financial resources are short and scarce to fully experience and visit everything. Well, I do have fond memories of the place. Didnt see any celebrities those and it was even fun just observing the people all around.

Oh yes dear I've been there twice already. Our Boss is generous enough and she did bring the whole staff in that place for the last 2 summers already. The place is indeed a paradise. If given the opportunity, I'd visit the place again. I've been enchanted by that place. I hope summer comes again!
