Refreshing Jonah's Fruit Shake in Boracay

When in Boracay....don't miss the most refreshing shake! Sa tindi ng sikat ng araw.....sa haba ng nilalakad...naku kailangan talaga ng malamig na tubig o anumang pamatid uhaw. Sa dulo ng station 1 makikita ang sikat na Jonah's Fruit Shake and Snack Bar. Tatlo ang store nila. Isa sa beach front at 2 sa main road.

Whenever I order fresh fruit shake...lagi na lang mango flavor (because i love mango). Pero mula ng matikman ko sa Buffet 101 ang fresh watermelon shake...masarap pala. Ayun...I tried watermelon shake. Mango shake naman para sa asawa ko. Masarap naman...matamis... refreshing nga.

The Original Hawaiian Bar-b-que in Boracay

We were so hungry and we decided to walk the beach road to look for a restaurant. We reached D'mall and I remembered that two years ago we ate 3x at I luv Backyard BBQ. I really love their baby back ribs. Now I want to try it again. Unfortunately, at 11AM closed pa sila because of an event daw. Hay! Then I remembered that there is a Hawaian BBQ in station 1.  

The Original Hawaiian Bar-b-que is the sister company of I luv Backyard BBQ which is part of Happy Concept Group.

The ambiance is very tropical.

Hawaiian-Bar-B-Que mostly offers Hawaiian inspired cuisines. Highlighted in the menu is the appealing Hawaiian Baby Back Ribs. We ordered the large one which is good for 4 person for P600++. The meat is so tender and juicy and they are not hassle to eat as you do not need a physical struggle just to take off the meat from the bones. 

We also ordered the sizzling bulalo steak P300++. It's a little bit salty but it taste good.

Well,  I was satisfied with what I ate.

Where to Stay in Boracay: Boracay Holiday Resort

We stayed at Boracay Holiday Resort in Station 2. The resort is Mediterranean inspired. I booked for a deluxe room where 4 persons can stay comfortably. We arrived at the hotel around 11AM.  The receptionist informed us that our room is note ready yet and their standard checked-in time is 2PM. I asked if we can leave our things so we can take our lunch first. She gladly said "of course ma'am". That was nice. Ang hirap naman kayang maghanap ng makakainan ng may dalang bagahe. A waiter also handed us our welcome drinks.

The receptionist told us the rules/laws while in Boracay. She said there is a fine of P4000 if we take out the white sand.  

The resort has a pool with a small slide. It was clean and the water is cold. There are lounge chairs scattered about for sunbathers and tables and chairs for those who want to eat by the pool. They also have a gym and a spa with reasonable rates and a bar that opens late afternoon to evening. There are also CCTV cameras in the public areas for security purpose. You can also ask for beach towels at the reception.

The receptionist told us that cleaning of rooms were done by request. The room has a small ref, cable tv, mirrored closet, a small sofa, lamp and small table and chairs. The pillows are soft but the bed is a little bit hard but it' ok for me. They said is orthopedic bed.

 The bathroom had a sink, toilet, hot and cold shower, towels, floor mat, soap and extra toilet papers. 

Our room comes with buffet breakfast for 2 person, additional breakfast cost P260. Beakfast for the first day consist of pork tocino, omelet, meat loaf, patties, breads, fresh fruits, molo soup and drinks like juice and brewed and 3-in-1 coffee. Sayang at walang bacon:-(

BHR is located at the main road in station 2. Its location is good. Its just 5 minute walk going to beachfront passing Boracay Regency Hotel. It is also located very near the talipapa. If you are tired of walking along the beach, you can ride the tricycle at pagbaba nasa BHR ka na.

Boracay Transfer: Southwest Tours

The first time I visited Boracay, kasama sa package ng hotel yung transfer from Kalibo. Southwest Tours. Di ko masyadong pansin ang service nila. First time kasi kaya siguro ganun. Medyo excited kasi ako kaya di masyado pansin yung service. 

The second time, package din sa hotel...Island Star naman.... Medyo di ako satisfied sa service nila. Medyo luma at parang kulang ang mga bus. Dahil sa kakulangan ng bus...may nangyaring di kanais-nais ng pabalik na kami ng Kalibo. Dahil dun.... ayoko na sa kanila.

The third time....dun sa package ng hotel...Island Star ang partner nila. Sabi ko, ayoko! Bumalik ako sa Southwest.

We booked our Boracay transfer online. Madali lang. Credit credit card ang pinambayad namin. Pati environmental fee at terminal fee binayaran na rin namin para di na pumila pagdating ng Caticlan.

Pagdating sa arrival area ng airport, may booth ang Southwest. Just say your name to the attendant and she will give you the bus number at sticker na ididikit sa left chest. Walang hassle. They will even assist you with your baggage. 

Marami silang bus. Halos bago. Meron ding coaster at van para sa mga group for charter. Ng mapuno ang bus...may kaunting briefing. Pinakilala din ang aming driver. Maaga kaming nakarating nga Catilan. Isang oras at kalahati at nasa pier na kami.

 

Nakalimutan kong kuhanan ng litrato yung bus. Coaster na lang.

Pagbaba ng bus, may binigay na ticket. Environment at terminal fee. Ayos!

Pagpasok sa terminal.... may pinapirma...di ko na naman napansin kung ano yun...basta nilista ko lang ang mga pangalan namin pati kung saang hotel kami. May mga senior citizen na nagpe-perform. Gusto ko pa sanang makinig kaso baka maiwan kami ng boat. Naghulog nalang kami ng donation.

Dahil may Southwest sticker kami....may special lane.. Express lane!

Matapos maghintay ng mahigit kumulang sampung minuto....dumating na ang boat.

Akala ko heto na yun...may tatak kasi na Southwest Tours e...  mali pala ako....

Heto pala...isang Montenegro fast craft ferry.Wala pa yatang sampung minuto...nakarating na kami sa Cagbang Port. Nahilo ako...pakiramdam ko ay forever ang biyahe papuntang isla... mas guto ko yata yung ordinary boat...malalanghap mo ang sariwang hangin.

Pagdating sa Cagbang...sumakay kami sa aircon na multi-cab na maghahatid sa amin sa hotel. Ayun...sa sobrang excitement..nakalimutan na namang kuhanan ng picture!

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service rendered by Southwest Tours. Highly recommended!
