Boracay: La Carmela

It's my third time in Boracay, my second time staying at La Carmela.

I cannot remember if I have any complaints the first time I was here. Maybe because if you are travelling with your barkadas, you won't really care about every details of your accomodation as long as you have a hot and cold shower, clean beds and working airconditioner.

But not when you are with your family. Especially with an elder who you have to look after too :( The quadruple room
Is quite tiny. TV is not even a flat screen! Very tiny bathroom ( but with hot&cold shower). No complimentary bottled water (but with welcome drink). Toiletries that are useless, not even good for 4 pax. Good thing i always bring my own toiletries! But what if ididnt especially in some cases when i backpack! No free WIFI!!!!

Actually i wont mind having no wifi at all because i have an unlimited data plan. But guess what? There's no signal in the room :( haiissst


Boracay (Sep 4-6, 2012): Dinner at Le Soleil

Alol wants to treat her mom and brother to something really special for our last night in Boracay. But from another pictorial session we had for a sunset that never showed, walking from the grotto down to Sea Breeze (where we planned to pig out!) seems to be never ending.

And since it just keeps on drizzling, passing by at Le Soleil de Boracay, gave me a heave of relief. "This will do!".

At P440 nett per pax, I'd say, if we all could have walked a little bit farther, shelling out P560/pax at Sea Breeze (+vat, + service charge) could have been a money more well spent.

Food selection has chicken soup,mini salad bar, hilabos na hipon, teriyaki chicken, steamed fish, steamed vegetable and grilled liempo. Well, you can also choose between white and red sauce for the pasta. And for grillery, you can have lapu lapu, squid, chicken and pork.

For desserts, they have macaroons (which I sooo love!) and fruit cocktail jello. Bottomless iced tea.





The macaroons that I love :-)

Boracay: Lunch at Deco's

Because we have an elderly in tow :), d walk from La Carmela to D' Mall seems to be a very long walk. So for lunch, we just stopped by at Deco's for the original la paz batchoy.
