How crowded is Boracay these days?
I used to go there often up to about 12 years ago. It was very laid back; no high rise, bakery vendors going door to door, great Italian just down white beach (or long beach? I forget) and the English bakery half way across. Bazzura bar was about the liveliest entertainment ... Used to stay at a French guy's resort...Round bungalows. About 500pesos a night. I had a banca (boat) on permanent hire. Great fun sailing around the island. Can you still do that or is it all jet skis and highrise now.
Barry - say wha?
Boracay is almost unrecognisable from the sleepy island it was 12 years ago. During peak season it is very overcrowded, but in low season it's still quite pleasant.
Much of White Beach is now lined with large concrete hotels, and there are only a few places left with beach hut style accommodation. You can still find rooms for P500 per night though, but you have to look harder.
Alongside the jetskis and highrise buildings which are beginning to take over, you can still rent a "paraw" (outrigger sailboat) and cruise around the coast, though many of the once-deserted beaches are now being developed.
