Boracay Island has been regarded as one of the best beaches in the world.

Powdery white sand and crystal-clear water. Boracay is simply PARADISE.

    most islands only offer a good sunset or sunrise side... Boracay Island is an exception... it offers both...

    the first light....

    Why would you think this spamming?

    I'm actually taking my wife and her folks to Boracay this coming April. You have any suggestions re: good places to stay? Definitely bringing the D300 along for the trip.

    Oh, good to know you're visiting Boracay.

    April is a summer month in the Philippines... so expect a lot of people!

    I suggest you google Friday's Resort. That is if you want peace and quiet.

    Another option is Nami Boracay. here's the link http://namiboracay.ph/

    A new exclusive resort which is quite near to the party scene is Discovery Shores - http://www.discoveryshoresboracay.com/

    Hope the above helps!

    Have fun and take home a lot of great photos!!
