myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines3 months ago

It was my first time to travel and went to Boracay this year. Where else can I go that can keep up with the budget? I really love Boracay! I kept telling myself then that its still a beach, I can always go to Puerto Galera at not too much cost. But it was way different than Galera, especially the people and the beach, maybe because it was off peak when I went there. It was just crazy gorgeous.

Where else can you suggest I can go and around what time of the year should I?

Help me my fellowmen! Im excited to have my second plane ride haha!

Hi there Red Phile!

Well, since you love Boracay, I would suggest that you come back and this time around, you can also go to the beaches of Jawili on your way home. You can visit The Wassenaar Beach Resort on your way home if you will board on a plane from Kalibo Airport.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Hmm I havent heard Jawili until now. Ill keep that on my checklist of places to travel. Im excited to go back to Boracay and when I do, I will definitely check out that beach. We actually tooke the long way to and fro Kalibo since Caticlan was closed then, Im not sure now.=)

hello redphile!

maybe you can try visiting cebu, coz we also have nice beaches here... and from here you can also go to bohol...
i think it will not be that expensive since airlines companies always have some promos as long as you book early... happy
maybe the best time would be on summer... happy

have a nice day & hope you'll enjoy your next trip!


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Yes I checked before when CebuPac was havig a promo on Cebu so low that I almost booked it without even arranging my schedule as of yet! Haha! I was thinking Cebu to be my next destination since Im getting cheap fares online!


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (2530)   ranked 45 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

well, cebu pacific as well as PAL always have promos...just keep on checking and surely you can get good deals from them...

You might try visiting Bohol. I haven't been to Boracay, but I have been to Bohol and so far I love that place. In Panglao beach resort they say is comparable to Boracay beaches but it may not be as developed as Boracay still in terms of amenities and roads.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

chocolate hills! when do they get brown again? Bohol is also I think a good destination as what Im hearing and seeing on the net. I love to look at pictures and blogs about travel and I always see this place. Well be on my checklist! Hopefully I can get a promo rate for summer though=)


myLot reputation of 88/100. rsa101 (7434)   ranked 39 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Summer would make those hills the brown color. We went there in August and it was not that brown at all. If you really want to explore the place there are many that you can visit there like the Loboc River where you can eat your lunch on a river boat. Then the next attraction is seeing the Tarsiers there.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Oh yeah! So its summer, Im trying to travel during off peak well to save on the budget and all haha! So its summer huh? Ill try Bohol, ill check out fares and all that for summer. maybe I can get a cheaper fare when booking early.=)

HHeloo Redphile!
What about Batangas, or Tagaytay? Batangas also have this white sand beaches. you will love it there. Tagaytay also have swimming pools. near the lake taal, not really near but you can enjoy the view from the resorts. also if you want you can have a trip to that lake. batangas is also famous with their Lomi. yum-yum. i encourage you to go to batangas sometimes.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

I have been to Tagaytay like twice and I would love to go back because of the cool wind, I have been to Batangas many times but not the white beaches only the black ones haha! I think you have to take a bot before you can get to the best white beaches there. Lomi! Yum! Makes me want to eat lunch now haha!


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (2530)   ranked 45 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

oh, bulalo from batangas is also great!drool


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

I haven't tried eating bulalo from Batangas but we did in Tagaytay! It was yummy! And it goes well with the cold climate there!

Have you been to Bohol? If not try to visit Panglao in Tagbilaran Bohol. After you visit Panglao you can also go to other nice spots like the Hinagdanan Cave, Chocolate Hills, the floating restaurant in Lobok. Cebu also has very nice beaches.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Uh huh! Ive been getting many votes for Bohol and Cebu! It will be the first two on my list, hopefully I can visit both places by next year! How exciting!


myLot reputation of 79/100. 3superkids (328)   ranked 340 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Have you already visited Palawan? Somebody told me that their beaches are nice as well.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

n0t yet but i also love the pics of palawan beaches. Though I think thats the destinati0n i have to save up big time=)


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (2530)   ranked 45 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

i think Palawan is really a nice destination...i have never been there but i always wanted to go to that place and see myself the subterranean river...


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

I just want to see for myself the clear water in the beach! It really amazes me to see that there are a lot of crystal clear beaches here in our country. If only I have all the money in the world then I will travel every weekend!


myLot reputation of 79/100. 3superkids (328)   ranked 340 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

i wish i could also travel like you... bicol region also offer nice white sands beaches... somewhere in camarines sur i know there are highly recommendable resorts in the area but i'm not sure if they were affected by the recent typhoons...


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

camarines sur is also one place i want to go, and i want to try out surfing!

I have never been to Boracay... but all the people i know who have been there said the place is very beautiful... but quite expensive too... but i hope i can go there one day... you can always go to cebu or bohol... cebu is very nice i have been there only once...

Now when you are finish exploring the Philippines... you can take advantage of the offer of budget airlines to fly you to different countries... it is always nice to explore... especially when we have a lot of options...


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

BOracay is one great place! I have always thought that its just the same with other white beaches or just the same as Puerto Galera, but I was wrong. It was amazing to see the blue waters especially underwater when I got the chance to do helmet diving! You should try it! Yes it is expensive but if you travel in a group, you can save up. I actually booked my tickets 3 months ahead, because I was so excited that when I decided, I looked for flights and also it was in time for my anniversary and birthday so when I got a P1,500 roundtrip fare well I purchased it online right away! You can get promos as low as that, oh maybe because it was off peak season.=) Yes those are on my list already! Hopefully I can finish them all by next year=)


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 1 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

It is so nice that travelling to different parts of the country and even the world can be so easy... especially with those budget airlines... i actually already have plane tickets to Malaysia and that trip is for next year... i got a great bargain and i am so excited...


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

woah thats great! Good luck and have fun there! Well, im planning to visit the travel spots here in the philippines first then off to another land!=)

Oh Boracay! wish i can travel there soon. Its one of many beaches i would like to visit and i would make it happen very soon. As for suggestion, you can try our beaches here in Davao, we have lots of beautiful beaches here and also try the ziplining, snorkling and many others things you can do here. You can also visit Dumaguete as i've heard about many beautiful beaches there too. Well all i can say is that travelling around the Philippines is really fun.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

I believe so, and hopefully I can go to all your suggestion places by next year=) You should try Boracay, some say its overrated but hey, it depends I think on the people you are with right?=) I dont know what ziplining is.. hmm.. Ill check that out!

9. myLot reputation of 80/100. d_red_madelaine (286)   ranked 2,666 out of 4,269 in philippines   3 months ago

Try Anilao, Batangas its the best so far for me. I've been to Boracay but I did not enjoy it maybe because it's off season when I went there, it keeps on raining. I went to Anilao last weekend and its so fun because I have good company and good food and the place is so cool. It's not a fine sand beach but you got to appreciate the underwater beauty of the beach. So, when you go there you need to have a snorkeling or googles is fine.

We went island hopping, there are some island with fine sand and got to feed the fishes. Maybe someday I can learn how to scuba dive to really appreciate the underwater, it's a bit expensive so I need to save money for that. Swimming will do for now. I think Anilao is open to all seasons as long as there is no storm, but when there is a storm there is dolphins, cool huh?!. In November you got to see the Butanding. I'll be coming back to Anilao in December to learn how to scuba dive I just hope I have enough money.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redphile (304)   ranked 387 out of 4,269 in philippines  3 months ago

Yeah scuba diving is expensive! I think you also need a license for that right? I was amazed by Boracay because it was the first place I went to by plane. In short, first plane ride! So everything for me is so much exciting.=) And it depends on who you are with, like me it was an anniversary celebration with my boyfriend=)

We tried helmet diving at Boracay, its like you're an astronaut but instead of walking on space, you are walking underwater! So cool! You get to feed the fishes and great thing was I had a camera so I took a lot of pictures underwater! It was amazing! It does not cost as expensive as scuba diving so you can try that.=)

Hmm in Batangas, I went to La luz, Im not sure which part of Batangas is that. But the place was also beautiful, though the food sucks. I love shrimps but theirs was not fresh, and the fruits were not that sweet. Hey Ill try Anilao next time my destination is Batangas=)
