Boracay Beaches
Puka Beach, where the water is cool, and not too salty, is my favorite. Fewer tourists here. Peace and quiet :)
CALAGUAS : Mahabang buhangin beach
The powdery sand everyone is raving about is located at far end of the beach, when facing the sea, right side. It is not the sand that is enchanting but the sea and the view. It is a pity that its pristine beauty has been tainted by so-called resorts and tents that seem to think theyre pleasing to the discerning tourist's eyes. Add to that some rowdy liquor smelling vacationers that you will come across while enjoying the beach.
CALAGUAS : Waling Waling Resort
This is the only resort in the island offering accommodations with "ensuite" comfort room. I won't bore you with the details which you can find on their website or fb account. Here are some tips to help you out in planning your getaway:
1. There is no proper port in Paracale. If your package includes boat transfers, look for the "waling port" and you will be directed to a concrete house beside the bridge. There's no one to meet you there so just ask around.
2. Electricity at the resort runs from 6pm to i dont know what time in the morning. Pack as many powerbanks as you can for your cameras.
3. Bring earplugs for a good night's sleep, impromptu parties by other guests who think that theyre the only ones in the resort can ruin your vacation.
4. Do not expect that brewed coffee is available, so bring your "pressers" or ground coffee in teabags for your caffeine fix.
5. Always check the weather forecast. If there's gale warning, dont expect the staff to inform you about it!
6. Lower your expectations.
7. Towels will be provided, but not toiletries.
8. Good news! The mattress and pillows are comfy.
9. The sleeping area at the kubol sleeps 4 people comfortably, two queen size mattresses.
10. Have a plan B like Mercedes group of islands, or Caramoan, where its cheaper :)
