Expatriate Forums in Philippines

Hi,

I look for a nice place; beautiful beach, sea activities, good choice for nightlife (disco, chilling), not to expensive. I will come the 15th october for 7 days.
It's so difficult for me to make a choice.... Cebu or Boracay?

Thanks

Take a look at the link below do get a better idea of what Boracay is like...

Boracay out classes cebu so bad its not even funny. Boracay is the jewel of the Philippines. I lived here almost 14 years (Expat American Veteran) Cebu is ok - nothing special unless you are in a 5 star resort. Boracay has everything - nightlife - great resorts - cheap resorts - water sports - clean ocean like bath water - great food - beach - you name it.

Boracay is the smart choice for vacation.

I've never been to Cebu but Boracay is like a beautiful dream.

Cebu is a LONG ISLAND or a BIG CITY so depends on what you are referring to as a beach and nightlife scene. The two BEST beaches in Cebu are Malapascua and Bantayan Islands both with white sand beaches like Boracay but a few hours overland trip to get to them from Cebu City and NEITHER can come close to competting with the overall "SCENE" on Boracay Island.

try puerto gallera and pagudpud in ilocos much cheaper and equally exciting places....
