Boracay
Grand Vista Resort & Spa
The
Grand
Vista Boracay Resort is located at the northern area of Boracay Island, near Boat Station
1, at
the upper portion of the Hagdan Yapak cliff, giving guests a spectacular
view of the sun and the sea.
Accommodations
at the Grand Vista Boracay Hotel & Spa is made up of 41 suites, all
designed and constructed to give guests an exquisite vacation experience. The
Grand Vista Boracay Island Hotel is in fact the first and so far the only hotel that is
offering private swimming pools in each of its individual suites.
The Grand
Vista Boracay Resort also offers one of the biggest swimming pools
on the Island.
Amenities at the Grand Vista Boracay Hotel are world class and are truly
luxurious starting with posh
bathrooms offering hot and cold showers, very spacious and comfortable beds, mini
bars and basic room services, private in-suite pools and the communal
large pool, Grand Vista Boracay Resort also has another swimming pool that is at the
same time serving as an adornment. This pool has fantastic and enticing
artificial waterfalls. The tanning area near the pool is overlooking the
panoramic view of the Boracay white beach.
Basic
services are present like concierges, which include travel and boat booking and
confirmation, telephone services for long distance calls, Internet connection,
foreign exchange conversions and touring advisory. Of course, the spa resort has
a spa center and personnel or masseurs who could give the best massage therapies
and services to stressed and tight guests and customers.
Food
served at the Grand Vista Boracay Restaurant is fabulous and features healthy
ingredients.

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
PHILIPPINES 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. |
