a paradise called boracay

a boracay vacation doesn't have to be expensive. you can have fun without draining your pocket.

i was bored last summer (May 2010). i wanted to get out of the city. the summer heat was really terrible. so i searched for the cheapest fare going to boracay. after comparing fares i took cebu pacific flight going to caticlan and air phil flight from kalibo to manila.
cebu pacific airline, manila to caticlan P1898.40

airphils airline
kalibo to manila P1798.00

i searched the Internet for accommodations. when i went to boracay 2 years ago i stayed in dave's straw hat. the room is nice, but it's in station 3. this time i wanted to be in station 2.
after inquiring in many hotels/inns/resorts, i settled for villa simprosa. i called up their number and Mr. pascual, the owner, reserved a room for me. it's easy to talk to him. he just instructed me to deposit a 1 night payment for my 3 nights stay. i also asked him to pick us up from the airport. he actually owns two guesthouses; villa simprosa (beachfront), villa simprosa annex (2minutes walk to the beach, cheaper).

villa simprosa contact number is 09173274076

accommodation cost:
room P1500/night x 3nights = P4500 divided by 2 pax = P2250

transfers:
caticlan P150 per person
kalibo P300 per person

i was traveling with my friend. when we reached caticlan airport, there was a guy from villa simprosa waiting for us. he took care of our bags until we reached villa simprosa annex.

the room is clean, with cable tv, fan, air condition, ref, shower, 1 double size bed and 1 single size bed.

we arrived lunch time. after lunch we decided to sleep first since it's sobrang init pa. here are some of the pics.
