Introduction

We all treat summer as a welcome break. I’d say summer is time for families — the kids are on school break, and the sun is high and shining so options are limitless. All it takes for a mom like me is to take three days off, book my holiday online or trusted travel agent, pack up, and hit

the beach. Boracay, hands down, has been one of the most convenient, accessible, out-of-the city

places to go to for a short break if you want sun, sand and sea for your family. It’s got an array of resorts to suit your budget, a wild selection of food and dining places, and bars and activities for the matured crowd.

We welcome you to the second edition of InFlight’s Indulge Boracay Edition, a magazine supplement that features some of the island’s best dining options. Following the first edition’s concept, here in the second edition, we present to you 15 restaurants and talk about the ambience, service, bestselling dishes and price range of each. But this time, we’re giving an added bonus. Those who are lucky enough to be able to get hold of a copy of this supplement gets to enjoy freebies from 10% dicsounts to getting a free drink or a dessert. All that’s needed is to present the stub — no need to tear off from the magazine — to the restaurant’s authorized person for signing upon dining to be able to avail of the freebie!

This guide is viewable cover to cover online at www.inflight.ph, where the previous editon is also uploaded.

Hope this guide fills you in. Enjoy your summer!
