White Night, Shangri-la Boracay

By | Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

In Shangri-la, they offer themed party packages.  This is the WHITE NIGHT theme.  White Night was literally by the beach and very very beautiful!!  I like very much how they think OUT OF THE BOX like how they used the sand castles and turned it into buffet tables

As you arrive, there is an area where you can remove your shoes in case you want to be barefoot for the event.  Then when it is time to leave, they wash your feet before they give you back your shoes!

Villa 13, Shangri-la Boracay

By | Travel | 6 Comments

This villa is another great spot in the resort!  If you want to stay in a villa, make sure you request for Villa 13.  It is the only villa with DIRECT ACCESS TO THE BEACH!  You cannot imagine how valuable that is in the resort. Since the place is very big, the beach is quite far from the villas and rooms.  So this villa is the BEST! It has two bedrooms so it is perfect for a family, a hut outside where you can eat outdoors and a patio. BEAUTIFUL!

As you go out of the living room- you see your pool and then the view of the beach

At an angle- the pool looks like it is connected to the beach!

I requested for a tour to see the Presidential Suite…..It was beautiful!!! Even if the resort is beautiful as a whole, this suite is a place you would not want to leave either…no need to leave the resort and definitely no need to leave this villa…

Find Your Shangri-La in Boracay

By | 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….

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

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