It’s my dream to go to Boracay. I have been, seen and felt the sand in Palawan, in Laiya Batangas, in Pagupod and Panglao, but they say that Boracay is far different and way better than those. Luckily, I got an invitation by Azalea Residences Boracay to stay in their hotel and experience the beautiful island that even foreign tourists are very fond about.
Yipee! I was so excited to travel going to Boracay. Hey, it’s a first for me, pardon my child-like excitement hahaha!

So we flew going to Caticlan via Skyjet Airlines which by the way was a pleasant and peaceful flight. Skyjet served us complimentary snacks and drinks during the flight which was surprisingly cool unlike other airlines with no snacks at all.(I love the sparkling grapes drink by the way. I love it so much, I can drink a whole bottle of it). We rode a very quiet 4-engine British Aerospace 146(BAe 146) airplane and just took us around less than 30 minutes from Manila to Caticlan Airport. Whew! that was fast!.
Skyjet by the way offers a free baggage allocation of 10 kilograms to every passenger. As of today, Skyjet Airlines has regular flights going to Basco Batanes, Busuanga, Balesin including my destination Caticlan. Visit www.SkyJetAir.com for more details.
After claiming our baggages, we went outside the airport already and there were two vans and Azalea Residences Boracay personnel waiting for us and transported us to Tabon Port.

If you are going to cross via boat from Tabon Port, you will have to pay Php75 for the ENVIRONMENTAL FEE/ADMISSION FEE and Php25 for the TERMINAL FEE which I find very reasonable in terms of the price.
SAFETY FIRST! Each boat is equipped with life vests for passengers to wear for the duration of the boat transfer. Then you have to leave it there after use.

Thank God that the waves were peaceful during our transfer. And so TOUCHDOWN BORACAY ISLAND! Finally! Yehey!
My first-ever step on Boracay sand!…
Another van waited for our arrival. This time, this van will transport us to Azalea Residences Boracay. For your information, when you book at Azalea residences Boracay, they will assist your from the port-hotel-port. There will be Azalea personel waiting for you there to assist you.

And so we have reached our destination. Azalea Hotels and Residences Boracay. We used to talk about this when we were in their Baguio branch, that there will be a new branch opening in Boracay and now we are here.
Azalea Hotels and Residences Boracay is a 4-star serviced apartment hotel located at Station 2, Sitio Mangayad, Brgy. Balabag, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan. It is not at the beachfront, but it’s just a few minutes(about 2-3 minute walk or maybe less) going there. It is also very near D’Mall, restaurants, bars, and various establishments and just a few minutes away from Caticlan Jetty Port.
So… Me, together with my blogger friends and company were warmly welcomed by Azalea Residences Boracay staff. Welcome drinks and cold towel were given to refresh us from the scorching heat outside the hotel.
Azalea Residences never disappoints. It has the same great ambiance just like in their Baguio branch. How can I say no to this?! Definitely a YeS!. Go! Go! Go!. ?
We were then assisted to our own room by their kind staff. Hello there!
Azalea Residences is known for their condo-like rooms with modern interior design. What I like most about Azalea Residences is that you have your own kitchen and dining area, cable TV, mini-bar, and private toilet and bath. By the way, there’s also a FREE wi-fi access.

Gosh! I miss lyining on those soft sheets! Just the same quality and materials with the one they are using in Baguio.

By the way, Azalea Hotels and Residences Boracay also offers other rooms such as one bedroom apartment suite, two-bedroom apartment suite, and deluxe room whichever suits your needs or preference.
As always! Azalea has always been so sweet to their guests. Thank you so much for this welcome healthy treat. 🙂
First time to encounter this type of room key. Isn’t it cool? It is water resistant and you can wear it even while you are swimming at the beach or doing other beach activities like snorkeling, island hopping and many more.
Lovin Azalea Residences Boracay’s hallways. just a perfect area to do my summer #OOTD. Thanks Rey Belen of www.Lifestylebucket.com for taking this shot.

If you want to have more fun aside from staying in the hotel, Azalea can arrange something for you, your friends and family such as land tour, island hopping and other water activities.
There are lot of food establishments outside Azalea Residences Boracay. But just in case that you just want to stay inside the hotel, you can just go down on the the ground floor and dine at Kuya J Restaurant. This said restaurant is where guests of Azalea Boracay are having breakfast as well. Just don’t forget your breakfast stub that was given to you when you checked-in.
What other people say about Boracay are true. The beach is really different. I love the feel of the fine white sand under my feet as I stroll along the shore, the waves that touches my skin, the breathtaking view of the sea… A priceless experience for a first-timer in Boracay like me.
Thank you Azalea Hotels and Residences Boracay for a very pleasant stay and for making my Boracay trip a memorable one. It’s really a very nice place to unwind, de-stress and appreciate the beauty of nature at the same time. Truly, a holiday haven in an island!
