Villa Paula Beach House Boracay

... joined a Frisby team and were here for a few days as part of their tour. They were a really nice gang. We're trying the buffets here that they have all along the beach. Crab wasn't great but today they had a lovely suckling pig all laid out with his crispy skin! Yum pork chops! Only 4 euro each. Going out again tonight and we're going to try walking a bit further down the beach than ...

Hey all!<br>Wow Boracay is beautiful. It's real paradise. Miles of white sand and blue sea. I love it. Cheap jewellery, bikinis and rum. Doesn't get much better! Except of course, you guys aren't here! Had a great night out! Sipping rum and coke by our room, when we were invited to join the owner and staff to eat yummy banana cakes stoln from a nearby hotel. They were lovely crowd ...

Hey Hey<br><br>Caught a very small plane to Caticlan this morning form Manila. The plane was really fun for me but not so much for Lucy. A bit turbulence-y! We caught some nice views of Manila and some islands on the way though. Hopped straight on a small boat then for a few minute journey to Boracay. Oh and by the way the runway is very short in Caticlan!<br><br>When we got off on the pier we were approached by a lady who asked ...

... to Iloilo. There are all kinds of touts along the beach. They all want you to buy a day tour from them. There are all kinds available: island hopping, parasailing, jet skiing, ATV rides, banana boats, diving, etc. I didn't go on any because I've done a lot of tours already and they were cheaper in other places. Boracay is a beautiful spot and great if you like nightlife and crowds. However, I preferred quieter Malapascua and Bantayan.

... spent a day on the computer playing games with the locals and I spent pretty much everyday sunbathing sipping my frozen ice teas. mmmmmmm As a place to come for a holiday we recommend the Island to all. Its paradise and we found very few tourist here, most tend to be Filipino and thats quite nice. The diving is meant to be the best in the world and the beaches are of the kind we have never seen before. Next stop Cebu for shopping!

... TV in the room and it works fine, even though it does not look like the National Geographic. After 4 hours on a rocking boat this computer monitor keeps waving around. Wonder what it will be like tomorrow after 6 or 7 hours. Finally got a swim at dusk. Still cannot believe I'm on the other side of the world. I took a few stills and when I can figure out how to get them from the camera to the travel site, I'll put them there. I was very pleased with how this ...

... women in more rural areas will smile and say hello but quickly lose their words once you begin a conversation. I feel like I am constantly being watched, but not necessarily judged. I've received few, if any at all, judging looks from anyone here. The atmosphere is more than welcoming, even if it is a shy one. Ugh, I can't stop sneezing! Aches and pains and barely a 1 degree fever. My nose is running, but yet it is somehow also ...

... to some acoustic guitar and beat box where Ryan Longhair and Ryan Dreads played last summer. I did not get to see them play this night. Meghan &amp; I were tired so we began to head home, but she decided to stop at Juice Bar on the way back and we met up with the Blue Mango boys. More free drinks, woohoo! Meghan &amp; I were having a good conversation until Meredith decided to start a bit of drama. No need to get into it, but I ended decided ...

... true to word their service is. I mean, when they said Paradise Bay is a hidden treasure in Boracay, they were not kidding. When they promised an enjoyable stay, they kept their word. And even if the place is secluded, it's pretty accessible too. You can opt to request to be taken to White Beach or anywhere you want to hang out and the resort's van can easily bring you there in no time. Free ...

... water and managed to keep control of the kite. Day 2 wasn't so crash hot, with the wind not being favourable and after a couple of kite crashes, we gave up. Day 3 was better. I controlled the kite with one hand on the bar and moved it across the wind window edge from one side to another. I did a bit of bodydragging but then the tide got too high to continue. I went back in the afternoon when the tide was low, but by then the wind had died. Day 4 was my last ...
