There are 3 diving/jump boards which are 5 metres, 10 metres & 15 metres

 

After having eaten, necking a few Red Horse and several shots of neat Vodka and Rhum I decided that the 5m was my limit

The Food and booze flowed for a few hours , we were befriended my two Pinay girls who were totally hooked by my missus when they were told she was a ladyboy, I loved the expression of shock on their faces

then it was time to head back to Station 1 and its beautiful spotless white sandy beach, we had another couple of cups of rhum & coke on the boat and were slightly worse for wear 

 

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon

There are signs everywhere telling you not to smoke on or litter the beach area itself

 

You will get a fine of 1000 Pesos for the first offence, 1500 P for the second and 2500 P for the third, and the Beach Cop's will get you, good thing too as the beaches really are spotless

I took my girlfriend and not looking out anyone so I cannot say what the scene is for picking up girls, however when I was walking hand in hand with her back to the room this other girl grabbed my other hand and started walking with me, she was quite a "stunner" I must say and if I had been single I would have let her take total advantage of me for sure, especially as she was "one of ours"

 

The accomodation we chose in Boracay was The Club Ten Beach Resort, it cost 20,000 Pesos (15,000 baht) for 8 nights

If you were going to be over critical then there were a few Ants in the bathroom and on the patio but hey you are surrounded by Tropical gardens so what do you expect, its a very minor issue imho

The room had a queen bed, large fridge , decent TV and channels, in room safe, patio (and it included breakfast which was delivered to your patio if you wanted), 24 hour security and even though its only a minutes walk down a path to the beach and nightlife on Station 2 it was very quiet, we even had an extra bit of security on our patio

 

All in all I think the Philippines is cheaper than Thailand and certainly has better beaches (imho),  the girls speak our lingo too which is great, but it is with an American accent

 

As for a return to the Phil's.....thats a defo

 

As for Thailand I never ever thought I would say this but apart from having a few drinks with the great lads I have met over the years  I did not miss it, its bars or its girls one little bit

 

btw....our place was the purple one on the left of the passage in the first pic

Thanks for sharing duke007 - sounds like you're hooked on the Philippines and won't be planning to return to LOS? I visited Manila once and didn't think it compared well to Bangkok/Chiang Mai - but it sounds like the provinces are quite nice.

Interesting thoughts DD and a nice report as well.

 

I've been going every year to PI since 2008 and it keeps getting better and better.

 

I think the people make PI a fun place - the locals have a great spirit.

 

I tend to agree with RX on Manila vs Bangkok.

Manila is very new to me (2 times) so it is a buzz, used to think the same about Bangkok years ago but now it has nothing at all to lure me there

Good work Duke no doubt you have raised a bit more interest in the PIs with those scenes.

Nice pics & interesting commentary,

Thanks!
