This Boracay trip is one of my best. Simply because I get to enjoy and relax during the 3 days and 2 nights vacation. I didn't do any water activities. I just shop, took photos, enjoy the beach and of course eat! For me, it was the most relaxing Boracay trip I have ever experienced. This is exactly what I need for having a stressful environment at work.
We stayed at Tan's Guesthouse. Rate is Php 3,000 per night for a room good for 4, inclusive of breakfast. The room is basic with 2 double size bed, toilet and bath, an a/c, a small tv, storage area and a veranda. Our room is located at the annex of Tan's. The sliding door is quite difficult to handle. It seems that the key has been misaligned so it gives us quite a hard time locking and unlocking the door. Another concern was that the room doesn't have any mirror. No woman can stand a room without a mirror. So it's hard for us to just see ourselves with our pocket mirror.
