Boracay Accommodation: 5 Things I love About Agos Boracay Rooms and Beds

Boracay is finally back to business. After 6 months of anxiously waiting, I was among the many who were very excited to see and experience the new Boracay, or what they call Boracay 2.0. So what are the changes? I'll answer that in my upcoming vlog but before that, let me share with you my experience in staying in one of the best accommodations in the island.

Boracay is finally open again to public on October 2018 after it was closed for 6 months for rehabilitation and restoration. Along with the opening of Boracay come new and stricter rules and regulations to ensure cleanliness and preserve the natural beauty of this paradise island. Among the new rules include regulating the number of tourists that enter the island and allowing only certain establishments to operate - those that have complied to the requirements of the government.

President Duterte has put Boracay under state of calamity due to worsening environmental issues. And after weeks of speculation and proposal to shutdown the island, Boracay will be officially closed for six months starting April 26. Now tourists with upcoming trip to the island are left with no choice but to either cancel their travel or pick another destination.

WATCH: Exploring the Best of Western Visayas

Western Visayas is probably one of the most visited regions in the country, thanks to the popularity of Boracay. But more than the world-renowned white sand beach, Western Visayas is also home to other awe-inspiring tourist destinations and attractions--from enchanting islands and unspoiled beaches to historical sites, colorful festivals and delicious local foods--that are well worth the visit.

Travel Photo Friday: Boracay Sunset

Boracay Island is 5 hours away from where I used to live. Living in Iloilo City gave me the opportunity to visit the island frequently. Perhaps seeing the Boracay sunset several times has made me care less about it. However, my recent visit to Boracay last April was different. The sunset was too beautiful to ignore. Boracay may have become very polluted, but the beauty of its sunset remains as splendid as ever.

Where Have I Been this 2011?

I'm so freaking blessed to have traveled to many major destinations in the Philippines this year. One of my new year's resolutions which was to travel only every other month has become an almost monthly routine. I kicked off 2011 with a Puerto Galera getaway and soon found myself crazy booking for domestic flights in every seat sale opportunity I can get. I thought the travel bug was beginning to bite me hard.

Just to summarize, below are the places where I've been in the past year. I will be writing about my adventure in each of these destinations in the next couple of days weeks. Looks like a lot of backlog to catch up on. :-)
