    Well you wouldn't have saw us at breakfast as we never got up for that! well only a few times, usually sat there and watched the Basketball on the TV there!

    We were staying at the Maria and Margarita complex, from the way you were talking you were on the other side of the golf course to us. We did make use of drink all you can between 5-7 for 250php each!

    I would love to stay on white beach, but all the resorts seem so expensive. Is oceanbreeze actually on the beachfront?

    Crystal Sands Resort is on the beach front, it used to be 2200 peso a night and it was nice, they are all getting dearer now, June through August can be a bit cheaper though and you can still get good weather even then.

    Let me correct my post, I've just done some research on current prices and it's gotten ridiculous what used to be per room prices are now per person prices and what used to be 2200 peso is now 3995 peso :(

    So basically nearly 4 times the price it was just 3 years ago.

    Real shame I won't ever be going back at those prices.

    2009, we paid P1375 per room with A/C and cable TV just a few meters up an ally walkway from the beach. Simple but very nice. Although the CR didn't work too good.
    My gosh, is it really that price now.

    We've use the off beach places before too a couple of times but only because of availability issues wasn't that much cheaper than we could have got if we had booked earlier.

    These are web prices, I think I might call to see if I could get a better direct price, problem is Boracay is getting a name internationally now so I think they are all just cashing in. The switch to per person pricing is just ridiculous

    And at the end of the day Boracay is far too commercial now anyway, it's not what it used to be, sadly I missed it back in the unspoiled days.

    Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

    Whatever is meant to be will always find its way.
