Salamat sa pinsan ko who was an engineer during the construction of Shangrila Boracay we've got a chance to visit the place while we're vacationing Bora.
The place is far from station 2, actually you need to ride a special trike going to this place (150 pesos ang special trip). It's far from the party scene of station 1,2 or 3 but the privacy and seclusion is perfect get-away sa mga tao who wants it.
Upon entering the place, the first you'll notice is marami silang ponds, fountains, and stuff like that sa reception area nila. Well actually its not only here but the whole place is full of this.
The reception area/ welcoming area is a huge palce, very cozy and mahangin (coz the place is located on top of a mountain, yes from mountain to sea shore sakop ng shangrila, ang laki diba?)
This is the view from the reception area. Tanaw na ang karagatan from up here.
Si Inay at Itay ay napagod sa kakaikot sa reception area and they try sitting on the salas in the area. The architecture of their reception area is somewhat mixed of balinese, chinese and thai. Their decorations are obviously very thai.
I want this rainspout in our house. Ang sosyal tignan ahahaha!
The long hallway of Shangrila, leading to the guest rooms.
And yet another water decorations.
This is the way to the swimming pool area
We've only visit this swimmi pool of Shang, and I must say i love it! I love the blue tiles they used on the pool. It's like swimming on a beach itself.
Near to the pool is the buggy station 2. Shangrila offers a transpo inside the resort for guest who are tired walking around the area. But if i we're they i don't mind walking around the place. Nakakarelax kaya maglakad sa super gandang lugar na ito =D.
Oh, eto sila Inay at itay trying the parasols at the pool area of the resort.
Guest can actually sit in one of the duyan under the coconut trees and have a relaxing day. Ang saya diba?
Another part of the resort is the Chi Spa village. Dito yung spa center ng resort.
That's the reception area, sitting near the koi at tilapis pond.
In fairness, mas madaming tilapia vs. koi!
During the construction of the resort, my cousin told me that they unearthened a lot of corals just like this one. Instead of throwing or crushing this corals, they preserved it and ginamit nilang decoration sa buong resort. Kaya they have a lot of these sa buong resort, ginawang decor, at least nakatipid pa sila =D.
The pool area of the spa. On the backdrop is a mountain where there's a lot of bats flying every afternoon. The resort preserved this bat sanctuary as well.
Hey hey hey! it's me and Floro @ the pool side!
These are the guest house on the backdrop.
They have infinity pool...Ilabit!!
Accordign to my cousin, the sand here are not as fine as the one located in station 1, it's more the same as the one in puka beach daw. Hindi sha masyadong pino but i dont mind, coz mas malinis naman sha compare sa beach sa station 1 and 2.
Hindi nakapagpigil si Floro and he actually dipped in the beach para magpapicture!
Lovely sand + lovely beach = heavenly feeling!
They also have this hang-out area/ chill-out place with aa good view of the beach. This is we're most of the people hang out especially during night time.
This pic was taken from the Jetty area of Shangrila (yes, they have their own jetty), the big buildings are the guest rooms while the smaller buildings are the villas (which is more expensive of course).
I would like to thank my cousin Steven for maiing my family trip to Shangrila possible. We had fun visiting the place and I hope that someday we will be able to check-in in their hotel. Maybe a honeymoon would be a perfect reason! Nyahahaha!
Thank you Shangri-la, magkikita parin tayo very soon!
