Microtel Phillippines’ only resort-type hotel is located in sunny Boracay Island. Microtel Boracay is a cozy spot inconspicuously hidden in its own cove at the northern part of Boracay.

With over 50 deluxe and suites, the place also boasts of a beach front and a chlorine-free swimming pool.

Zuzuni is a mediterranean restaurant at the ground floor and a hotel on the second floor. Located smack in the middle of the Boracay resort stretch, you’re right in front of the night partying of the island.

Zuzuni

The restaurant has a neat layout, though a bit crowded, and the walls are full of Grecian (?) mirrors giving an impression of wider space.

Zuzuni Hotel

There are also tents just outside, along the beach, giving you a good view of the outdoors.

I’m not familiar with Greek food but the dinner that we had was really great. You have to spare some room for the dessert. It basically made the whole dinner most interesting.

Flying SEAir

Thursday

Flying SEAir on a vacation trip is unlike any other regular flight. The planes are much smaller than the usual 737s that fly the usual city routes. Sometimes, it feels like business class.

SEAir Philippines

Although the planes are smaller, like the SEAir Dornier 328, and could be a little bumpy at times, there are some surprising perks. Like you get to see the landscape and the terrains much better from the cabins and taking pictures through the 35 minute trip to Microtel Boracay is much more enjoyable.

My folks on my father’s side used to live there. We still have some farm lands there but we never took care of it anyway.
