Our Boracay holiday

After one year in Sydney, Nat & I flew back to Manila in March for our much-awaited vacation. We decided to stay in Boracay for a few days since it's been 4 years since our last visit. Boracay is much different now, more resorts, more restaurants and we can't even recognize the exact place where Nat has proposed to me (wala pa kasing resort kung san sya nag propose that time e). Since we are bringing Maku with us and we've heard a lot of good feedback about Discovery Shores, we decided to book their junior suite.

We very much enjoyed their junior suite room, with the complete entertainment system: plasma TV, DVD player and iPod dock, you'll never get bored. A pitcher of very cold pandan juice, a jar of cookies, dried fruits and a platter of sweet treats were waiting for us. We also got a personal welcome note and a straw beach bag with bottles of lotion, sunblock and clay masque.

We were led by our personal butler to our room and as soon as we got in, Maku practically inspected every nook and cranny of the room. The butler also took pictures of us as their souvenirs.

We arrived the hotel at almost 1pm and we we're so hungry already so we had lunch at The Sands.

Maku enjoyed the sand better than the water. He didn't like the pool, much more the beach.





For dinner, we went here...



I ordered for beef gyros and hummus

while Nat had lamb souvlaki.

We had breakfast (brekkie in OZ) at The Sands the following morning. The buffet breakfast came with the package which likewise lived up to our expectations. After breakfast, we enjoyed the complimentary foot bath at the comfort of our room.

We had Jonah's pizza, choriburger, and their very famous milkshakes for lunch. For dinner, we just settled for chicken and rice from Baliwag since we were craving for a local dish. Unfortunately, we moved our flight to an earlier schedule the next day, as in leave the resort at 6am, because Maku got very sicked though it doesn't show in this picture.

But overall, we were very satisfied with the service of Discovery Shores. You will really feel pampered with the staff bringing you fresh towels, folding your clothes, fixing your stuff when you go for a swim, and passing around refreshments and some pika-pika. The 24 hour service was worth the price we paid for. If ever we go back to Boracay, definitely, we will stay again at Discovery Shores. Hopefully, our family can join too. Maybe I better start saving so I can treat them for a holiday in Boracay.
