Both are congested with visitors but Boracay got more space and definitely worth the trip! I’ve been to these two and I liked Boracay better.

I guess I was 7 or 8 when I was there...? Funny, the first thing that came to my mind... about Boracay,.. is that.... "ugh, another white beach, boring" *shotshotshot* gimme a break... I'm only 12-ish back then... Only then I realize that it was the whitest beach, so far, that I have ever encountered. Palawan, having the best coral reefs I've seen. Try Saud Beach, Philippines? it's like a twin sister of Boracay, except, it's still not a trend. ^__^ here's the picture of Saud Beach! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/dxpsycho/DSC_1709.jpg http://davesworldtravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/pagudpud-island.jpg http://tourism-philippines.com/images/pagudpud1.jpg (as far as I know though :P don't kill me if you find my info fraud D:) “Suddenly there was a brownout – which lasted a whole 24 hours!”

If we're talking about beaches - Boracay definitely takes the cake. Not sure which beach I was on in Puerto Galera but it wasn't as nice as Boracay. The sand was rough and the water wasn't as clear. PG did have more locals (who didn't work at the hotels/bars) out and about though. Boracay had tons of tourists. SIGH. I need a vacation. I went to both places in 2007.

I used to go to PG whenever I want to. Ive made friends with different shades of gay roaming around White Beach and some locals that are now permanently etched to my heart. Unfortunately, I had my downside of PG as well, the prices of the rooms, the bad news about the motorized bancas that transfers you from pier to white beach, and the food are usually the same in all the restaurants. In Boracay, I fell in love when I first saw the white powdery sand. It was around 1993, no hotels, no Koreans, no large resorts, no malls...just the perfect setting for the perfect vacation. I would go back to Bora every 2 years and the latest was 2007. I was of course disappointed with all the establishments, left, right and center of the island. the loud music as early as 3 in the afternoon! 2005, I remember I still have that picture: 2:00 in the afternoon, station2 under a coconut tree, cold heineken beer and jack johnson singing in the background. After 2 years, Jack was nowhere to be found, but Kaskade was sure around. But then again, if you take out all those negative shots in your mind, both are beautiful and worth visiting. :) for this one…i cant decide. i used to love both with my whole heart.
