In 2017, Newcoast Boracay was mainly Savoy Hotel Boracay, with significant ongoing development across the area. At that time, this part of the island was rarely visited by Boracay tourists. Entry was limited to property owners and guests of Savoy Hotel Boracay. However, Newcoast Boracay has since evolved into a destination in its own right,…
It was past noon when I traced my way up the blue-painted stairway of Agos Boracay Rooms + Beds. The last two days of the one-week stay in Boracay will be spent on this quaint and no-frills accommodation. The lush environment that surrounds the place calmed me from the short hike up to the hotel….
Way back in 2016, my friends and I had the chance to stay at Ferra Hotel Boracay, which, at that time, is a newly opened property in Bulabog area. The location of the hotel is nice since it’s just a few minutes from D Mall and centrally accessible to both White and Bulabog Beach. With…
Boracay traffic really bothered me on my last visit to the famous island in the country. I wanted to leave Station 2 immediately after I arrived on the most crowded area of the island. Savoy Hotel Boracay has its hourly shuttle picking up and dropping off guests at D’Mall. The cool temperature of the vehicle…
When we stayed in Zuzuni Boutique Hotel, we heard from the staff that the management will be opening another property. Zuzuni is perfectly situated along the main beach and the new one will be in a different location. This time, to provide a more serene surrounding sans the crowd and beach parties, it will be…

On his first Boracay trip, a friend blamed me for publishing a Boracay food guide with most of the restaurants and cafes not budget-friendly. I was laughing at him when he said that he overspent after dining at one of the places I’ve listed. Since this blog promotes budget kind of travel and to counter…
Last time I was in Boracay Island, Tides Hotel Boracay served as our abode for our short weekend getaway in the island. However, I needed to stay one more night because I booked a different flight. It required me to look for a place to stay preferably away from the buzzing crowd. I was browsing…
If you’re not a first timer, Boracay Island on a weekend is a cheap and laid-back getaway. Thanks for airlines’ seat sales for low-cost tickets to the busiest island of the Philippines. The hordes of tourists are invasive and I always seek for serene spots in the island where I can get away from the…
The e-jeep from Tambisaan Port, alternate for Cagban Port, trailed a different route I’m not familiar with. In fact, it was my first time to pass by that part of Boracay. The trip continued until we reached a crowded street that eventually led to D’ Mall. The day just started great and the gleeful rays…
