    It was last week when PAG-ASA announced the start of the Rainy Season here in the Philippines. That means it's Summer Finale already! Good thing, I and two of my blogger friends, Etienne Chantal and Lloyd Chua were able to book a round trip Cebu Pacific Air flight to Philippine's famous Boracay Island! So our Summer Laboracay started and ended graciously in Belmont Hotel Boracay.

    BELMONT HOTEL BORACAY IS BORACAY'S BEST ACCOMMODATION

    I've been to Boracay a number of times already. Before the development of Megaworld's Belmont Hotel Boracay, I used to book hostels and mini-hotels near stations 1-3 but when Belmont came, I'm glad that vacation exclusivity is now reachable! Why, if you ask?

    If you book in Belmont Hotel Boracay, they offer exclusive use of their pool, enjoy the wide and vast white sand beach with family and friends, and get to visit the famous The Keyhole (which by the way, became one of the tourist's destinations in Boracay) and not to mention, Belmont Hotel Boracay can assist you on your Physical activities needs such as Jogging, Biking, Working out at their gym and maybe just walk and stroll in all their properties on a Sunrise or Sunset settings or experience their water activities such as Kayaking, Stand Up Paddling, etc.

    But what really amazed me is the hourly schedule of free transportation from Belmont Hotel Boracay to famous stations 1-4 beachfront stations. You can relax in your cozy Belmont Hotel Boracay but if you wish to make most of your night at various clubs at stations 1-4, then book your free transport from the hotel down to the station.

    Last weekend, we had a chill year-ender travel to Boracay Island together with my "Laagan" officemates. After eight months from closure, the new Boracay has a lot of changes that we noticed and netizens reported on social media and generally, they are so proud of the outcome! Do you want to know what are the changes we noticed when we visited the beautiful island?

    Now, here's my fave shot of my friends! Taken by Huawei P9 at Avenue Hostel which is located in beachfront!

    Playing around!


    Here Are The Changes We Noticed When We Visited The New Boracay!

    1. Hostel/Hotel Reference During Check-in

    The New Boracay Island 2018
    Going to our bus for Manila-Caticlan trip!
    When we did our flight check-in in Cebu Pacific, the staff asked us a reference for our Hostel/Hotel reservation before they finally printed our boarding pass. You may show your email communication with the Hostel/Hotel or if they have the confirmation receipt, much better!

    2. Hostel/Hotel Reference Before buying Tickets in the Jetty Port.

    This is the same as mentioned in number 1, there's a table in Jetty Port entrance that will require all passengers or tourists to fall in line and present their hotel/hostel reservation. The staff will search and confirm if the said hostel/hotel is accredited. After which, you will get that approval mark in your hand! (wink) Then you can proceed in buying the terminal fee (PHP 100), environmental fee (PHP 75) and pump boat fare (PHP 25).

    3. No Using of Straw in Restaurants and Fast Food chains.

    Just for testing purposes, we tried asking for straw in McDonald's and to be fair with the staff, they really urged us not to use a straw. I love this new and little way of supporting our environment!

    4. Less Noise Pollution during Night hours.

    The New Boracay Island 2018
    Night scene in Boracay Uptown!

    What I noticed when the time ticked at 11:00 PM, some beachfront bars lowered down their music and we can actually notice that the beachfront area from stations 1 to 4 are bare - nobody is partying in front of the beach.

    The New Boracay Island 2018
    Since there's no nightlife in beachfront, we decided to visit Galaxy. And that would be our new and last time to party there. There's no entrance fee but the table is worth 1k, 2k and so on. Not to mention the bacardi gold is worth PHP 3,000 - triple price from the original price of PHP 750!

    5. Wider Seashore

    A lot of establishments were moved backward which gives a wider version of Boracay's white sand. Just lovely!

    6. Cleaner White Powdery Sand

    Due to the above actions, we can now enjoy a cleaner, white and powdery sand of Boracay. You can chill and just sit and watch for the best Sunset in the Philippines.

    7. No more tents, tables, and chairs set up in front of establishments near the beachfront. 

    This is one of the reasons that you can enjoy a wider seashore!

    8. No More Filamentous Green Algae!

    Yes! Remember those green algae in the seashore? You won't miss them as the beach shores are very clean and worth the swim. Take a dip!

    This couple really love Boracay! Such a sweet gesture in the white sand.

    9. There are establishments which are closed by the Government

    I could say some establishments which are closed but to be fair to them, they might need to process their documents for them to be functional soon. Hoping for the best!

    10. Road Widening and Building of Sidewalk 

    One of the major changes is the road repair and widening. Also, a nice and clean sidewalk is currently being built with bricks. I will come back to Boracay soon!

    SPECIAL! Here are our sunset shots!!! Wooots!
