BORACAY—The Philippines may have more than
7,000 islands but there can only be one Boracay.
And Filipinos can enjoy more the island since
South East Asian Airlines has partnered with top notch hotels
led by Microtel to offer special packages.
For close to only P8,000 airfare and
accommodation are covered.
Now it is up to the traveler how much he will
spend on food and the things that make a vacation memorable.
Vacationists always return to Bora, eager to
experience again, la dolce vita.
This time, there are many more accommodations
that can cater to any type of visitor, be it students, yuppies,
G , X, or any generation.
Try Microtel. It is in Diniwid, or Station 1
of the island. It is far from the noise and bustle of Station 2
but it has its own slice of beach.
Microtel, according to Dean Cid, has the best
beds to offer in the island, and he is right.
Guests first comments in the morning are
invariably how well they slept the night before.
Talking with Dean and Annie Convocar of
Boracay Tropics prove how well Filipinos can pamper guests, one
of the reasons, why guests keep returning.
Microtel, a no-frills hotel and Boracay
Tropics, which prides itself on its eye for detail, offer
excellent service.
Staff in the two hotels are friendly,
solicitous without being obstrusive.
It will always be a joy to be with smiling
compatriots eager to help and assist.

Dean explained that travellers by choosing
Microtel can spend their money to experience Boracay to its
fullest.

bargain for pearls, what is a visit to Boracay without buying
pearls? Travellers can also go island hopping.
From Manila, visitors can travel by air to

Airport, take a short ride by bus or van to the jetty port.
An outrigger boat will take visitors to
Boracay Island in 20-30 minutes. If landing in Kalibo Airport,
take a 2-hour ride by bus or van to Caticlan.
Caticlan is the jump-off point to Boracay.
Bancas transport passengers from Caticlan to Boracay Island.
Microtel at Diniwid Beach, is at the more
private and quiet part of the island were you could relax, bask
under the sun and take a refreshing dip into crystal blue waters
without the crowd and noise of the main beach.
