Boracay, Aklan

White fine sand, amazing sunsets, friendly locals and nightlife is one of the many things that you can describe Boracay.

With its beauty this is definitely one of the PH's pride.

I've been here for a couple of times already and every trip is definitely worth it. It's like an escape to reality and every time I'm here i feel like im in a dreamland.

A Disneyland for grownups.

For the perfect  full body tan you can just lay around in the white powdery sand with your sexy bikini and chill out all afternoon just like what i always do or if you are the sporty/adventurous type, try out all the sports that the island has to offer, you can pick from jet-skiing, island hopping, wind-surfing to para-sailing.

Whether you want Boracay for the midst of action or quiet spot, the options are endless .

you can also hit the clubs, bars and party all night. Or spend the night to a wall-to-wall pampering.

When it comes to food there are a lot of cheap restaurants that offers a great food

Must try is the I <3 backyard bbq & the island's Churizo burger! and seafood everywhere!

The last time i went here ( May 2011) there was  this wild storm and we didn't get to enjoy the sun that much. So i suggest that if you're planning to book a trip it is a must to check the weather forecast first.

Boracay is truly a paradise! Book now and experience the best sand white beach.

In Boracay, anything goes.

Try the Astoria's BANANA SMOOTHIE its a real treat!

Your own private Island

Potipot, Zambales

Potipot is a small privately-owned island off the coast of  Zambales.

Its doesn't have any establishments nor a good fancy room, just a couple of "kubo" to keep you comfortable at night and a clear blue-water which is perfect for skim boarding. 

The almost powdery sand allows the skimboard to glide smoothly along the shore.

This is definitely one of the perfect place to unwind since not so many people go here. But I was told that the place is packed during the height of summer.  

 If you want a cheap trip to the beach this is def be on your list. 

For Php 1,500.00 you're good to go! 

Bring books, magazines, playing cards & frisbee if you plan on chilling out on a white powdery sand.

Potipot is the next best thing to Boracay. Enjoy the sun!
