It's not that Shangri-La is unaffordable, but Rui Xiang offers better value for money

🏝️ This May Day, I finally took my child to the other side of the Anywhere Door - Boracay Island! I've been to Bohol Island in the past few years, swam with whale sharks, and 🤿 witnessed the sardine storm. This time, the main focus on Boracay Island is relaxation, and 5 days and 4 nights are just right. 🏨 This time we stayed in two hotels, one of which is the Rui Xiang Resort located at S0. The main reason for choosing this hotel was its swimming pool, which is really big and beautiful! The pool has depths of 1.2m and 0.8m, including a Jacuzzi, and kids can have fun all day long. 🏖️ S0 is on the north side of Boracay Island, Shangri-La, Crimson, and Rui Xiang are all in the same area, and Rui Xiang shares a beach with Shangri-La, offering a high cost-performance ratio. The sand here is much finer than at White Beach, and importantly, there are fewer people. Water sports are a bit more expensive than at S2. 👧🏻 The kids' club has some simple amusement facilities, and there are activities every day (charges apply) that you can also participate in, open until 17:00. 🍗 The hotel restaurant is right next to the swimming pool, where you can dine while enjoying the pool view. Afternoon tea starts at 15:00, focusing on a variety of desserts. The breakfast is very rich with a wide selection. 🚘 Because the location is quite remote, the hotel provides a free shuttle service to and from dmall. If you can't catch the shuttle, you can ask the front desk to call a tutu car, which takes about 30 minutes. 【Boracay Island Travel Experience】 ✅ Sunset Sailing: A must-try activity, bargaining with the locals usually costs around 600₱. You can see the egg yolk sunset and the afterglow, truly beautiful! ✅ Island Hopping: A day trip out to sea, you can visit Crystal Island, Magic Island, Puka Beach, and have a snorkeling experience. If you are in a group, it's recommended to charter a boat. Crystal Island is for sightseeing, and Magic Island is for cliff jumping, with an entrance fee of 350₱ per person. ✅ Virgin Mary Rock: A landmark attraction, with a statue of the Virgin Mary enshrined on the rock. There are crystal boats available for sliding, perfect for taking photos as a souvenir. ✅ Friday Beach: The quality of the sand here is much better than near White Beach, and there are fewer people, making it very suitable for taking kids to play in the sand. ✅ Lambros Point: Located at Diniwid Beach, it's a popular Cave photo spot, about a 10-minute walk from Friday Beach. Hand your phone to the locals, and for 50₱ you can get a lifetime photo.
