I have not seen a better beach in all of the world and I am not sure I will. Coming here for the first time was fantastic and breathtaking.

Money worth wise is really positive, knowing that you can have a lot of activities and haggle with the price. I mean, to a more reasonable price.

I have been to some of South East Asia's known beaches in Koh Samui , Koh Panghan , Bintan , Malaysia , Phuket but Boracay beat them hands down in terms of a fine sandy beach .....maybe one day in Maldives or Rio i will find a better beach than here ....maybe ..... Almost every single part of this place... More

My second time in Boracay. I read about how it was being exploited with McDonalds ect, well nothing has changed asfar as I can see, McDonalds is tucked down a side road by the regency and doesn't impact at all, if anything its made the food more competitively priced on the beach. and starbucks has been there a long time....

Even if the Philippines is blessed with a full year of glowing bright sunshine, we still look forward to the summertime when we can lounge lazily in the beach, bask and swelter in the heat to isolate ourselves from the peremptory of corporate life or simply to escape from the rigors of city living. Whatever the reasons, a temporary retreat... More

If you want to experience a white sandy... More
