(Warning!) Transportation To Boracay…
Like I said above, it’s only 315 km away from Manila and takes less than hour flight.Actually there are two routes for flight. A. Caticlan Airport Route and B. Kalibo Airport Route; The first route would be much better for you, because kalibo Airport requires a 2 hour transfer from the Airport to Jetty Boat.So, your transportation, which is supposed to be less than one hour, will be about 3 hours then.Asian Spirit, SeAir and Interisland Airlines fly to Caticlan Airport.You’d better choose one of these.If you can’t find an available flight then Air Philippines, Philippines Airlines and Cebu Pacific fly to Kalibo.
The flight rate to Boracay is about 150 – 170 dollars.You could find cehaper or more expensive tickets depend date, season etc.But it won’t differ so much.

Inside the Boracay; mountain bikes, tricycles, quadbikes and motorbikes are available for rent and/or hire for Island transportation or you might wanna walk.Even the total length of the Island is approximately 7 km though.
Where to Stay? Accomodation in Boracay…
You have a quite wide price range, starts from 30 Dollars and goes up to 600 Dollars per night in season; regular hotel rooms, premier beach front rooms, tree houses, five star hotels, pool villas are available with various prices.A regular hotel room and a tree house of course have differences but differences between hotels are generally about extras such as bigger pool, tennis courts, health club etc.So, a 30 Dollar room is also reasonably comfort and nice.

A 65-75 Dollar per night room is actually pretty cool.A cable TV, a Bathtub, an Air-Con, a Nice Balcony with sea view will probabily available with it, which isactually quite nice.
If you go there by a tour package, you can even stay in a much better place with less cost.

That’s not Boracay! I agree with Annabelle that the “Windsurfing in Boracay, Bulabog Beach” photo was not taken on Boracay. Apart from the hotels, you can also tell from the hills in the distance that it couldn’t be Boracay. Annabelle told you this in Sep 2009, so why haven’t you edited it yet?
The ‘windsurfing in Boracay’ photo – that’s not Boracay! There are no high rise hotels that tall in Boracay!
and Punta Bunga & Banyugan beaches are off limits to the public now, sadly.
