Boracay (Oct 2007) Estimated Expenses

Last year we spent P6,027 each for our Boracay escapade.

This time, magkano kaya for 8 pax? e each person?

Fare:
We again got the One-peso fare ticket of Cebu Pacific which costs P1,968 per person. We paid a terminal fee at the Domestic Airport worth P200 each. Another P52 in Caticlan for the environmental and terminal fee. For tricycle fare, it costs P7 for ordinary and P50 for special.

Hotel:
We availed of Nigi Nigi Too's family room for P3,365 per person which includes two-day breakfast and round-trip transfer from Kalibo. Our room is a two-storey family room with one bathroom.

Food for 8 adults:
Day 1: We had our lunch in Nigi Nigi Too, one platter of seafood for P1,200. Our dinner was in Gasthof "Paluto" in Station 2, for P1,926.40. We came back with groceries from Budget Mart for P828.50.
(I forgot to mention that we brought a rice cooker. Yes, you read it right! Hehehe.. That's why the following expenses would be a little bit cheaper than Day 1.)
Day 2: Our breakfast is free, remember? My siblings went to the local Talipapa to buy food for lunch and dinner. Our lunch cost P578. Our dinner cost P607.
Day 3: For our breakfast, we had bread, cheesewhiz and coffee. Those were from the groceries we bought from Day 1. We ask Nigi Nigi if we can just get our free breakfast for lunch. They said yes, so we had only P195 for lunch since we exceeded our limit. Our dinner was from Talipapa again, costs P475.
Day 4: We just had bread and coffee from the groceries.
