Boracay Island located in Aklan, Philippines is one of Asia’s best beach resorts, this island has underwent rehabilitation for almost 7 months and now its open again for tourist to visit, well there were lots of changes indeed. As I interviewed the local residents and crews, they said crime went down as well as pollution was almost zeroed by President Rodrigo Duterte. This island was very much abused by residents and tourist alike that the President ordered an immediate shut down to clean up all the mess. There were many establishments taken down during this operation and many local residents went jobless for 7 months, but now most of them said it was a lot better than before and they are all reaping the benefits of the rehabilitation efforts of the government.
The flight from Manila to Aklan took just roughly 40 minutes as it was just a quick ride, then speedboat to Boracay Island took just roughly less than 5 minutes as it was really quick. We then arrive at Henann Prime Resort located in Station 1, it was really a beautiful sight, the staffs were indeed friendly and they were all shocked that I can talk local languge because I look more of a foreigner than a local.
The room was nice and it was really comfy, really relaxing for a vacation. There is a pool just outside the backdoor of our room!
These are the first photos I took from the beach, everything is not edited and not filtered. Its really nice, clean and quiet indeed. The President did an outstanding job cleaning the country’s top premier tourist spot.
The island are covered mainly by coconut trees, I’m lucky none of them fell upon me as I took a nap under the tree late in the afternoon.
Dinner at Henann Resort’s Sea Salt Restaurant was delicious as me and my family feast to the different kinds of food they offered on the buffet table.
Early morning walk along the shore was probably one of the best feeling on earth, as I walked side by side with my lovely wife, we loved the feeling of the white powdery feeling of the sand as we walked barefooted along the sea shore.
While I was trying to play with the zoom of the Mi MIX 3, these are the shots I took using 8x zoom on my phone.
If you want to plan for a summer getaway with your loved ones or the whole family, go and check out this beautiful island in the Philippines, I’m sure you will definitely love the blue sky, white sand and clear water.
Hope you enjoyed my tour!
