With this in mind, do you think Boracay would be a good choice. I'll be planning to go to Siargao after

crimson resort in boracay is my only hide away whenever i visit philippines. there are few spots there away from the crowd so clean and well maintained but crimson suits my needs. and don't get me wrong, i love crowd when adventuring and drinking (lol) but when resting and relaxing, i just want a secluded, private and comfortable space and yes its a bit pricey compared to other islands. But what can i do, i simply love boracay...

Boracay definitely lives up to the hype. Been there earlier this year and fell in love with it ever since. Planning to spend Christmas there this year again with the family. However I’m not surprised with foreigners being charged almost double or even triple the price for almost everything here. Sadly it’s like that in most tourist attractions in the Philippines. Locals just assume you “wouldn’t mind” spending extra just because you came from abroad. Though I’m gonna be a d*ck and say that it’s the west’s tipping culture which also contributed to this mindset.

My wife and I just got back from a 3-day trip, and it honestly wasn’t the greatest. The view and the beach itself are absolutely spectacular, there’s no doubt about that. But holy shit, there was non-stop bugging by the kuyas trying to sell their parasailing/activity packages, and it really left a sour taste in our mouths. Every second you’re walking down the strip “MA’AM SIR, MA’AM SIR PLEASE PARASAILING, ISLAND HOPING!” You try to sit on the beach and enjoy the day with a coconut drink, 10 different people will come over and bother you about the same parasailing and island hoping packages, along with the sunglasses guy, the Groot statue guy and the kid trying to sell you necklaces for a long relationship. You go out to the ocean for a dip, then there’s a guy paddling over to you trying to get you to rent a paddle board for an hour. You get out to try and find lunch/dinner, there’s a hundred different people screaming “HAPPY HOUR MA’AM SIR, BUY ONE GET ONE!!!”, but when you get to the restaurant that sounds enticing the service is usually pretty abysmal. Boracay is nothing like the rest of the Philippines. We took another trip to Oslob, did the whale shark activity and many other things and had an absolute blast. I don’t think we’ll be back to Boracay.

Why is the the Why you shouldn't??? Boracay may have irs up and Down but if you dont have the budget of course you miss many of its amazing amenities and Offers. I have a friend who went to place didn't went out of the hotel and said bad things about a place. Saying you don't have no Budget for the fun things Boracay has to offer and went there and call it overrated is just plain unfair and stupid. But its still a great Island 🏝️ and part of the Philippines Paradise 🇵🇭 and we too are travel a lot but my family don't bad mouth a place from Europe to Asia and call it overrated because we lack the fund's to utilize it's offers and the people are friendly more than I can say to foreigners in their country

I was last there fifteen years ago, just as the Shang was being built (before the puka shells disappeared). It's a shame to see what has been done to the place, as the locals have probably not benefited a bit.

Seaweed on the beach makes the sand softer?

So apparently the breaking down of seaweed makes the sand softer - interesting when I found out too

Very good at pointing out great things and things that aren't. I hope they will limit the number of tourists so tourists will be able to enjoy more of the island.

I went to Boracay nearly 20 years ago. It looks so much more built up and busier than it was then.

I visited Boracay in June 2023 and I agree it’s a little bit overrated and lot of hype. I’m from Australia. The sea bathing is enjoyable. Massive wastage of fish and other sea food and sea urchins as well as chicken and pork.

Visit the beach on December to May, June to November is rainy season so there will be lots of debris

Boracay establishments cater to 1 to 5 & even 6 star levels of vacationers. Proper research must be done before deciding to go. Carabao Island, 30 minutes by boat from Boracay, offers lots of privacy. Backpackers visit Palawan, Romblon, North/South Gigantes & many lesser known of 7,100 islands also because there are different levels of experiences to be had.

Agree...it is a bit more expensive than other parts of the Philippines because there are so many tourists going there...I've been there 1995 and 2009, I'm sure it has gone up with all their pricing. It is good if you're only staying there for a few days and not recommended if more than 1 wk.

The much better or fair title, "watch this video before you go", let the viewers know the pros and cons first, then decide whether to go or not to go and the title has already made an absolute verdict discouraging travellers to see for themselves the reputation of the island as being the Best island in the world voted 3 times.
