In case you didn't know yet, Boracay has reopened already! I'm curious how it looks like now after the 6-month rehabilitation ordered by the government.
I read that Boracay will never be the same again. No more beach parties, no more loud music. Having a mixed feeling about this. I mean that's what makes Boracay unique! The fun vibe! There's a place for everyone - if you love partying, you can go bar hopping effortlessly; if you like to unwind and have some quiet moment, then you can easily stroll by the white sand beach.
Now everything will be regulated - there will be a cap on the number of visitors, and there will be limited number of rooms available for occupancy (meaning not all hotels are back in operation just yet). Unfortunately, something like this has to be done because people went overboard, what with irresponsible tourists and greedy businessmen who abused what the island can offer.
A month before Boracay closed down last March, I still got to celebrate my birthday on this beautiful island. Our trip was from March 19 to 22 and the whole island was forced to close down on April 26th. Wow! Just our luck! Imagine the hassle of rebooking and getting refunds from the hotel if our flight was affected! I feel bad for those who actually experienced this.
Even though I've been to the world-famous Boracay island a few times before already, this trip was extra memorable because it has been on my bucket list since forever to spend my birthday by the beach - and finally it happened! And bonus pa, cos I was with the boyfie! :D
Sharing some highlights from our trip! We really didn't have any itinerary; we didn't do any water activities nor the usual island hopping. We just enjoyed hanging by the beach, people watching, reading a book, listening to music, having a good conversation, laughing our hearts out, eating delicious food, and of course, drinking ice-cold beer. Best. Birthday. Ever.
Til next time, Boracay!
