As a way to lure me back to visit sooner than later my brother offered to take my husband and I to Boracay, a powerdery white sand and crystal blue watered paradise. You’ll need to white knuckle a propeller planed flight, a lengthy side car ride, ferry and a final side car ride before you finally get there. But feeling the silky powder (they call sand but I call pure heaven) under your feet is well worth the journey.
Having learned that the resort was still undergoing some renovation I asked if there were still some pre-renovation rooms. YES. And folks if anyone is wondering what renovations can do to your property value just check out the bad boys (below) out. You would swear these weren’t the same resort — apartmenttherapy.com eat your heart out. The first thing I’ll be buying when I get back to the Flatbush Riviera are bed runners and throw pillows. Who would’ve thought they’d unify a room (and a complex) so effectively?
Super Sekrit tip — the wood seen throughout the units are actually the handiwork of a skilled painter. I spoke to the designer who casually said — said that she had hand picked him for his work, and that he used a combination of paint, a rag and healthy helping of creative imagination. No kidding.
