- Description: A raw, honest review of Boracay Paradise Found Beach Resort. Diving into the good (amazing beach!), the not-so-good (hello, laundry!), and the downright quirky. Get ready for a real Boracay experience, warts and all!
Okay, here we go. Deep breaths. Writing a review is WAY harder than slurping down a mango shake on the beach. But here's what I've got, fresh from my Boracay adventure… or, should I say "attempted adventure?" Let's be honest, travel is never perfect.
Getting There & Accessibility – A Mixed Bag, Folks.
Getting to Boracay is… well, it's an adventure in itself. Especially if you're me and prone to losing my luggage. (Side note: Did anyone see a bright pink floral suitcase? Asking for a friend… ME!) Anyway, once you're on the island, the resort itself claims to be accessible. And hey, they do have an elevator, because I saw it! But the reality? Felt like a bit of a squeeze for wheelchairs, especially around the pool area. Paved, yes, but some of those ramps felt a little… spirited. I'm not a wheelchair user, but I did try pushing a rogue baggage cart uphill and it wasn't easy, so I'd recommend double-checking specific needs directly with the resort BEFORE you book.
On-Site Accessible Restaurants / Lounges: I’m not sure. I didn’t see noticeable signage, but I also wasn't, like, looking for it. My focus for the first few hours was that mango shake.
The Wi-Fi Saga… or, How I Became a Wi-Fi Widow
"Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" they shouted from the rooftops (or, you know, the hotel website). And for a fleeting moment, I believed them. But the Wi-Fi… Oh, the Wi-Fi. It was… temperamental. Let's just put it that way. Sometimes it was blazing fast. Other times, it was… radio silence. Like, dial-up in the age of the metaverse. This impacted my ability to work, which, as a travel "journalist" (I use that term loosely), is a major NO-NO. They claim a "LAN" option too, whatever that is… didn't see it.
Internet Services: Yes, they offer it! But the quality… well, see above.
Wi-Fi in public areas: Slightly better, but still hit-or-miss. Good luck streaming your favorite show.
Things To Do, Ways To Relax… The (Potentially) Wonderful Stuff!
Okay, this is where Boracay starts to shine. Think: powder-soft sand, turquoise water, and sunsets that make you want to weep (in a good way, mostly).
Swimming Pool: Oh, the pool! Picturesque, with a view to die for. (Spoiler: I didn't die. But I did spend a good chunk of time there, pretending I was a mermaid.)
Pool with View: Yeah, nailed that one. Spectacular.
Spa: Okay, so here is where I absolutely need to get into it. I had a massage. A massage. I went for the full body scrub because, let's be honest, I needed it. The flight, the humidity… My poor skin was screaming! The whole experience was lovely! I felt like a new woman. A woman who had been gently buffed and pummeled into a state of zen bliss. Seriously, go. Just go. It's worth the money. I only had to make slight adjustments.
Sauna, Spa/Sauna Steamroom: Didn't catch me there this trip. I was too busy getting rubbed down.
Fitness Center, Gym/fitness: Did not make it. The beach was far more appealing. Judge me.
Cleanliness and Safety – Striving for Stellar

The Dining Experience – Food, Glorious Food (Sometimes A Little Slow)

- Restaurants: They exist, plural!
- Asian Cuisine in restaurant/ International cuisine in restaurant/ Vegetarian restaurant: YES to those things. Especially Asian cuisine.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get a REAL Boracay itinerary, not that airbrushed Instagram perfection nonsense. This is the messy, glorious, sun-kissed truth. We’re hitting Boracay, and specifically, the legendary Boracay Morning Beach Resort! Let's do this… hopefully I remember to pack my sunscreen this time…
Day 1: Arrival, Beach Bliss, and a Questionable Mango:
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): The absolute HORROR of getting up this early. Flight from Manila, bleary-eyed and fueled by instant coffee. Praying the plane doesn't crash. Seriously, the pre-flight jitters are REAL. Arrive at Caticlan Airport (God, those tiny planes!), collect luggage (crossing fingers it actually arrives), and navigate the chaos of the airport shuttle. Don't let the touts get you! Haggle, haggle, haggle! The ferry to Boracay is a breeze, though.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrive at Boracay! Find Boracay Morning Beach Resort – it's a bit further down the beach than you expect, but the walk is beautiful. Check-in (hopefully the room is ready, because waiting after that flight is just cruel) and DROP THE BAGS. Head straight for the beach. White sand squeaking between your toes. The turquoise water. Pure bliss. Find a good spot near the resort, throw down your towel, and just… breathe. The sheer relief after all that travel is intoxicating.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Beachside lunch. Maybe a sinigang? Oh god, yes. Finding food is always a highlight. Explore the immediate area around the resort - White Beach is gorgeous, even if it's a little crowded. The vendors can be intense, but a firm "No, thank you" usually does the trick.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Beach time! Swim, sunbathe, try to build a sandcastle (mine always collapse), and occasionally fight off the urge to nap. The sun is strong, so, PLEASE, wear sunscreen. I learned that lesson the hard way. Last time, I looked like a boiled lobster. Seriously, apply it. Maybe even get a beach massage – it's absolute heaven. It's also likely you'll meet a Chatty Cathy from Ohio. Embrace it!
- Evening (6:00 PM - onwards): Sunset is an event. Get a spot at a beachfront bar. Order a drink. Maybe try a mango shake before you check the fruit's condition… last time… let's just say it was a culinary adventure. Dinner at a local restaurant - Seafood is your friend. Savor the atmosphere, the lights, the chatter. Maybe a little dancing later - or maybe just collapse in a chair and watch the world go by, which is just as valid.
Day 2: Island Hopping, Watersports, and the Great Sunburn Scare
- Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Breakfast at the resort: hope there’s enough fruit, or those banana pancakes might just be an absolute saviour.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Island hopping adventure! Booked a tour. Boat trip to nearby islands. Snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. See coral reefs. Don't touch anything, for the love of all that is holy, the coral is delicate! Maybe a quick stop at Crocodile Island (scary name, actually just pretty). Hopefully, the sea is calm and doesn't make me hurl my breakfast. I get seasick so easily.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Barbecue lunch on the beach of a deserted island. Paradise, right? Except for the inevitable swarm of sandflies… and the realization that you forgot insect repellent. Again. This is where I start to second-guess my life choices.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Watersports time! I'm not exactly a water baby, but I might try parasailing. Maybe jet skiing. Or, you know, just watch other people and enjoy the spectacle. After the sunburn experience of Day 1, I'm being extra cautious. The fear is REAL.
- Evening (6:00 PM - onwards): Drinks during sunset. This time, I'll try to remember my SPF. After drinks, find some local street food for dinner. Then, back to the beach, maybe some live music, and definitely a lot of chilling.
Day 3: Relaxation, D-Mall, and Departure Blues
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Sleep in! Glorious, beautiful sleep. Then, maybe a leisurely breakfast. Then, you guessed it, beach time! Re-apply sunscreen, and simply do nothing. Read a book, listen to the waves - just unwind and let the peace of Boracay wash over you.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Hit up D'Mall, the main shopping and dining area. Browse the shops (souvenirs, anyone?), grab lunch, maybe get a tattoo (tempting, but maybe not?).
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Last-minute souvenir shopping, a final swim, and drinks at a favorite bar. Try to soak it all in – the sights, sounds, smells. Because, you know, it's all ending soon. I'm already starting to feel nostalgic. And the pre-departure blues is starting to kick in.
- Evening (6:00 PM - onwards): Farewell dinner. Reflect on the amazing trip! Pack (sigh). Head back to Caticlan airport. Flight back to Manila. Goodbye Boracay… for now, anyway.
Post-Trip Thoughts:
- Expect some delays, be prepared to negotiate, and embrace the chaos. That's part of the charm.
- The food is amazing, so eat everything. Just maybe be a little cautious of that mango.
- Don't feel pressured to do everything. Relax, enjoy, and create your own version of a perfect Boracay experience.
- You'll probably get sunburned. It's inevitable.
- You'll probably miss it the moment you leave.
So, yeah, that's it. My honest, imperfect, and slightly chaotic Boracay itinerary. Hope you have a blast! And remember to pack your sunscreen!
