Find Your Shangri-La in Boracay

By April 16, 2009 Travel 6 Comments

I was able to take a peek at the new Shangri-la in Boracay.  Of course, Shangri-la never fails to live up to its name and reputation.  It was beautiful!  I heard that there are 1,700 staff manning the resort…not to mention 170 security guards around the area guarding the guests. It is an island on its own…peaceful and quiet.  Be prepared to stay in this resort and only in this resort to relax, enjoy and have a peaceful vacation..as it is a beautiful island on its own

When you arrive in the airport they take you to their own port….

Where they greet you warmly…..

….and serve you some refreshments and goodies while you wait for your luggage and the boat to arrive and bring you to the island

Tree Top villas which I heard are very beautiful! and you can already imagine the view

Because the resort is very big, golf carts are provided to take you around especially if you are staying in a villa

Beach which is semi-private as it still shares with some of the nearby resorts

    Hi Thet,
    You are right about Solana bar, it is beautiful. It has one of the BEST VIEWS in the island. I will feature it also. Please contact them directly about the disk jockey as I am not sure.

    hi rica. i enjoyed this entry thoroughly. the resort looks amazing… somewhat like an updated Shangri-La Mactan version with a hint of “Aman Resorts” style. and the water looks so inviting! one thing though. the sand looks coarser than those in station1. perhaps it’s the lighting?
