Me and my friends are planning a trip to Boraw...Hi! Me and my friends are planning a trip to Borawan and Dampalitan this July and wanted to ask if you noticed these concerns:<br />1.) Will the Dampalitan caretakers/management provide grilling tools for the campers? (We will be bringing our own food, both raw and cooked)<br />2.) Will trash management be a concern? (If not, we can provide our own trash bags)<br />I just wanted to make sure all of these are covered before we finalize all of our plans.<br />Anyway, thanks for the help!Gwynne Andalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634544634679824071.post-13135810434352410332014-05-14T16:03:50.227+08:002014-05-14T16:03:50.227+08:00Read your blog because a friend of mine and I will...Read your blog because a friend of mine and I will be going to Borawan this weekend. Disappointed that you didn't help the poor, defenseless turtle.

Our tour was arranged by Ron James and all I can say is, his services are great. Food was abundant, boat ride was safe, and he made sure we had a good place to camp at Dampalitan despite being peak season because of the Holy Week break. He personally attended to us, making sure everything is in order. Daming food! Grabe! overflowing food. He really made sure that we wont go hungry. If you want to go to these beautiful islands I highly recommend you contact Ron James at 09496362087. I highly recommend him for his excellent service. Thanks Ron. We will return for sure.Mike Viernesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634544634679824071.post-87176084000829983742012-12-14T16:57:29.136+08:002012-12-14T16:57:29.136+08:00may new contact/number or person po ba na pwedeng ...may new contact/number or person po ba na pwedeng maka deal sa pagpunta sa dampalitan? at new update po sa dampalitan status like overnight stay etc.... thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634544634679824071.post-79845182779577819182012-06-11T12:37:32.112+08:002012-06-11T12:37:32.112+08:00Just last June 16-17, we went to Borawan and staye...Just last June 16-17, we went to Borawan and stayed Dampalitan using Ron Jame's father service and very accomodating and assisting. They charge was 1,200 for the boat and has capacity of 12 person, bigger that those used by the resorts. We have secured and ample parking just next to the Barangay which happens to be the only port/pier in Padre Burgos, entrance for Borawan is 20/pax and Dampalitan 30/pax, 150/tent, 150/half-drum for rinsing. Our gas consumption was only 1000 (140kms) Alabang back and forth +172 for toll exiting sto. Thomas. We just brought 600 worth of food to be cooked, 300 in liquor and beverages. Dont forget to bring vinegar since jelly fishes are present in both beaches. The whole weekend paradise trip cost only 1,200 each for us 4. Tip: if you plan swim choose the Borawan since they catch net setup there, the Dampalitan had theirs destroyed by the last typhoon. Dampalitan is Anawangin like 300m shore line with coconut and pine trees surrounding. Borawan has smaller white beach at the edge of rocky cliff.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499221130580737875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634544634679824071.post-37522517791179156162012-05-07T00:38:12.935+08:002012-05-07T00:38:12.935+08:00I suggest that you transact with Mr. Ron James he ...I suggest that you transact with Mr. Ron James he is the one who arranged our trip to borawan,dampalitan and puting buhangin.. he is the one who prepared food and arranged the boat for hire.

The new management is simply rotten! We went there because from the blogs I've read, it's along the hi-way lang and yes it is. But when we got there, we asked about Tamarind Resort and Villa Anita, they told us both were expensive. Then they offered their home stay. They will show you an album with pictures of the rooms. We asked if they have tents that we can rent so we can just camp, the lady (I forgot her name) said, she had them rented (really??? there was none as I asked around). Anyway, she was kind of helpful but her helpfulness has ulterior motive. She offered her home stay for 300 a night per person and she also offered to assist us in checking out Tamarind Resort since it's just near her place. So we accepted the offer and went to Tamarind to check and since we're on backpacking mode, we choose the home stay.<br /><br />When we arrive at the their, there were like kids around shouting and at least 3 house helpers. The house is nice but not well maintained as it was dirty, unkempt and just plainly, in disarray. So we were asked to choose rooms, both rooms are used by house help and their relatives with kids who were visiting that time. And they have the nerve to offer it to us!!! Grrrr... But since we didn't want to pay more, we took it. We chose a room and the AC won't even turn on due to low voltage. So we were given an electric fan, tssssk. The good thing, we were allowed to cook. So we went to the islands and enjoyed very much! I want to return to the islands! Now comes check out, we were brought back to Vista Playa restaurant to pay. And lo and behold, we were charged P2500 for the room. WTF? I thought it was 300 per person. The lady mentioned kasi it's aircon and the aircon didn't even work!!! Nevertheless, we insisted on paying P300 per person as initially agreed. When she was offering it, she never mentioned that it will be P2500 for aircon rooms. She only mentioned P300 per person. Grabe, uminit ang ulo ko as in. Good thing my friend is cool enough to face her and told her that we will not pay for the AC room rate because it wasn't working. Should the AC have worked, then naloko talaga kami.<br /><br />Hay buhay! We enjoyed the islands so much but not Vista Playa experience. I wished I had communicated with Ate Ria instead. <br /><br />***Apologies for the long postAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634544634679824071.post-57550003705787631062012-01-28T21:45:07.620+08:002012-01-28T21:45:07.620+08:00Planning to visit the place first week of Feb. wi...Planning to visit the place first week of Feb. will post thereafter<br /><br />LitoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634544634679824071.post-90931150571127520382011-12-29T17:21:03.843+08:002011-12-29T17:21:03.843+08:00Ate Irma is so cool.
