"A small island known for its white-sand beaches and vibrant nightlife."
"A tiny island of just 4.5 miles, Boracay is famed as “the island that never sleeps” for its nonstop parties and nightlife, and readers praise it as an outstanding leisure-vacation destination." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"In February, President Rodrigo Duterte referred to the once idyllic island as a ‘cesspool,’ in light of the environmental damage and ‘insufficient solid waste management’ caused by the crowds. The island will be closing, starting April 26, for six months of rehabilitation."
"A tropical and diving paradise in the Philippines, Boracay offers abundant reef systems and common sightings of eels and clown fish, and it's the most popular place to dive in the country; when you're done diving you can relax on its picturesque beaches. Open Water certification costs around $450 USD and single-tank dives are under $50 USD." - Matthew Kepnes
"As a holiday hotspot, Boracay is significantly more expensive than many other parts of the Philippines, so budget accordingly if you plan to visit." - Matthew Kepnes
