Summer has arrived, and you want to go on a trip with your siblings. After several rounds of selection, we chose the highly cost-effective Philippine destination of Boracay Island. It’s said to have the most beautiful white sand beaches, incredibly low prices, and abundant AsiaYou travel resources. Indeed, Boracay Island itself did not disappoint us, and even brought some extra surprises that made us even more attached to this trip. The editor can’t wait to share everything about our AsiaYou Boracay trip with you all!
Luxurious and comfortable accommodation:
Our group of four had relatively high requirements for the hotel, mainly because we wanted to take beautiful photos. We chose to stay at the Lind Hotel for three nights. This hotel is located in S1, which is quieter, and the white sand beach is right outside the door. The environment here is better than S2 and S3. The hotel’s location is a bit off the beaten path, not in the bustling city center, but it’s not too far by taxi. The Lind Hotel’s hardware facilities are truly praiseworthy—the infinity pool upstairs allows you to take stunning photos and is practically Instagram-worthy. It basically met all our island expectations.
Three days later, our itinerary also included a two-day tour of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Some say Manila has safety issues, but my experience was nothing of the sort. The city has a strong vibe and is well-ordered. The four of us were accommodated at the renowned Mornigna Resort, a five-star luxury hotel with very complete facilities. What impressed me most were the entertainment options—the AG AsiaYou International Hall on the second floor of the resort truly left me speechless. It features cutting-edge entertainment facilities at the forefront of Asia, giving all four of us a feast for the eyes. With a wide variety of choices, perfect sound and picture quality, and a premium service experience, for someone like me who can’t swim, Morninga Hotel was the perfect fit. I’ve already planned my next solo trip there.
Delicious and natural food:
When visiting Boracay, you must try the local seafood feast—the ingredients are super fresh and incredibly tasty. D’mall Seafood Processing Market is my five-star recommendation. Overall, it’s great, but be sure to bargain—negotiate the price down to half of the asking price, then just pick any nearby processing restaurant.
The next recommendation is Xiantianxia, run by a Hong Konger, specializing in hot pot. The owner is very nice, but the prices are really high—almost on par with Haidilao.
I also highly recommend the ice cream and shaved ice snacks—they’re completely natural. The ice cream is made directly from coconuts, and the mango shaved ice is so popular you’ll have to queue for it. Both are famous local specialties, so I definitely recommend giving them a try.
What impressed me the most was the buffet at Morninga Hotel—it was the best buffet I’ve ever had. After eating this buffet, I felt like I didn’t miss the old Golden Jaguar so much anymore. The Philippines is truly a kingdom of food!
Exciting and thrilling activities:
During this trip, we experienced many firsts in our lives—our first helicopter ride, which gave us a bird’s-eye view of Boracay’s beauty. Boracay is one of the world’s top diving destinations. In the deep sea, you can see a variety of colorful marine life, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot sea turtles. There’s also parasailing behind a speedboat, which is super thrilling—you switch between sky and sea, going up and down, feeling completely free.
There are also fun activities like flying fish, kayaking, and jet skiing, allowing you to experience the joy of the sea more directly. The most popular local activity is cliff jumping at Magic Island—it’s truly exhilarating. After trying it once, it feels like you’ve been reborn, seeing everything differently and understanding the true meaning of life.
What I felt wasn’t enough after one try was the experience at the Morninga Resort in Manila. All four of us played until we could barely keep our eyes open before reluctantly leaving. The AG AsiaYou Live Hall ag123.vip, which we’d only heard about online, suddenly appeared before us. We felt that all these years, it was poverty that limited our imagination—there’s such a luxurious place, with dazzling gold-plated decor that gives you a premium sensory experience. Here, you’re treated like royalty, with a variety of thrilling games that had us four going wild.
You must think our trip must have cost a fortune. Let me tell you a secret: despite staying so high-end, eating so deliciously, and having so much fun, we didn’t break the bank. Because we chose a very reliable travel agency—AsiaYou Travel. They have a huge operation at the Morninga Resort in the Philippines, pretty much self-sufficient, so the four of us enjoyed an ultra-high-value trip to Boracay Island, Philippines.
