Club
Panoly Boracay Beach Resort
In
the northwestern portion of the popular beach island of Boracay can be found
Club Panoly Boracay Beach Resort. The luxury-class resort is a Singaporean-owned
hotel resort, established in 1990. The resort has received a triple A rating by
the Philippine government's Department of Tourism. The beachfront is part of the
Punta Bunga Beach.
Club
Panoly sits comfortably in a four-hectare beach estate, hidden from
the busy hustles of the long and congested beach. The Club Panoly has been developed
to feature good elements of privacy, nature, service and comfort at the backdrop
of a naturally rich beach, sun and air setting. What else can be better than
enjoying the scenery of swaying coconut palms, white sand, crystal blue waters
and lush green foliage? All those can be enjoyed in the Club Panoly.
Contemporary and native inspired accommodation sets the mood at the Club Panoly
Boracay
Hotel. Thus, guests with different preferences for ambiance can be truly
delighted.
The Club
Panoly offers a
four storey-hotel building that houses 55 deluxe and superior suites. This
luxurious resort on Boracay is sprawled by nine octagonal clusters, along with five
cottages, which are for bigger groups or families of guests. The rooms at Club
Panoly have
verandas to facilitate visual appreciation of the surroundings' panoramic and
photographic view. The Club Panoly resort landscape, which can be observed in the
terraces, is already a sight for the eyes to feast at.
The
amenities and facilities within the Club Panoly Boracay are full service and are of high standards.
This
four-star hotel in Boracay has rooms that are fully air-conditioned, furnished with cable
television sets, bathrooms with hot and cold running water, mini bars,
international and domestic telephone services and complimentary coffee and tea
supplies. Deluxe rooms have bathtubs, Internet connectivity and built-in safety
deposit boxes, while VIP suites have additional features, like electronic
bedside control and private Jacuzzi. A huge outdoor swimming pool is good for

A

gatherings. Club Panoly Boracay has a 90-seat conference room, equipped with
necessary overhead projectors, video and audio recording and playing facilities,
cordless microphones, Internet connection and fax and photocopying services.

By Plane via CATICLAN
The fastest way to Boracay is to fly Manila- Caticlan Airport on Panay Island. Airlines like SEAIR, ZEST AIRWAYS, CEBU PACIFIC, AIR PHILIPPINES and PHILIPPNE AIRLINES flies to Caticlan daily. Flight time Manila – Caticlan ranges from 35- 50 minutes.
Once you get to Caticlan, you need to take a ferry or banca to reach the island. Because Caticlan is very near the port, it will only take about ten minutes to get there.
By Plane via KALIBO
PHILIPPINE AIRLINES and CEBU PACIFIC also fly to Kalibo, which is 1 ½ hours bus from Caticlan. Flight time Manila- Kalibo takes 50 minutes. From Cebu City, the fight takes about the same
If you booked the flight to Kalibo you will have to take a bus ride (about 90 minutes to a couple of hours), to get to Caticlan and the port. In any event, once at the port, the ferry or banca ride will take about twenty minutes.
By Ferry ( Manila- Caticlan)
For those who are on a budget travel, you can take the ferry boat from Manila to Dumaguit. Dumaguit is situated on the northern side of Panay.
First you have to drive to North Harbor in Manila where the ferries to Dumaguit are stationed. Once you arrive at Dumaguit you have to go to Caticlan. This can be done either by bus, or if you like, the jeepney.
Another way to get to Boracay from Manila is to take the following route: first you take a bus ride going from Manila all the way to Batangas. From there you will board the ferry that transports you to Tablas in Romblon. From the port of Odiongan, you can take a jeepney to another port (either Santa Fe or Looc) and get a banca to Boracay Island. |
