Getting
Into Island Boracay
The
first thing, of course, you have to do to get into Boracay Plaza
Beach Resort, is to first get into Boracay Island. Well, the
most recommended way is by airplane heading to Kalibo or Caticlan.
The flight time to both locations is about an hour.
If
you go via Kalibo, you will be able to fly on a B737 150 seater
Jet aircraft of PAL, Cebu Pacific or Air Philippines. If you
go via Caticlan, you will fly on Asian Spirit ( 50 seater )
or SeAirs ( 19 seater ) which offers 8 flights each a day to
Caticlan.
The benefit of traveling on the smaller planes to Caticlan is
the price and land transfer is only 10 minutes as oppose to
Kalibo's 2 hours. Take a flight to Manila. You may have to spend
a night in Manila on your outward journey because onward flights
to Boracay are limited. Fly Philippine Airlines from Manila
Domestic Airport to Kalibo Airport ( the flight takes about
half an hour ).
From
Kalibo Airport takes the air-conditioned bus to Caticlan and
the boat from Caticlan harbor to Boracay (the bus trip takes
90 minutes and the boat 30 minutes. Various charter companies
fly direct from Manila to Caticlan Airport. As there is no jetty
on Boracay, you have to wade ashore from the boat, so wear something
appropriate and comfortable!

From
Caticlan and Around The Island
From Caticlan Airport, it is a ten-minute away to Caticlan Jetty
Port. There are tricycles that are readily available right outside
the airport arrival area to take you to and from the Jetty Port.
From Caticlan Jetty Port, it is around twenty-minute boat ride
to Boracay Island.
Boracay is divided into three sections, known as Boat Stations
1, 2, and 3. Most of the time boats dock at Station 3. A designated
drop-off station on the other part of the island is being used
during monsoon season.
From
Boat Station 3, take a short walk to the Main Road for a tricycle
ride to Station 1. Boracay Plaza is the first resort on Station
1, right across the government center and church.
Boracay
Plaza Beach Resort is located right in the heart of the village
of Balabag, north of boat station 1. The landmarks here are the
plaza with the church on one side, the community center and the
communal basketball court, and on the other side is the long white-sand
beach.
The
hotel lies right in the middle between the plush restaurants of
the northern part of the White Beach and the entertainment zone
a short walk south.
