Lean Season

Boracay is the ultimate holiday destination. Then again, like any other tourist spot, there is a lean season in this place. The lean season is a time when tourism business hits the bottom. It is a time when everything around the island seems slow. But wait, do you know that there are quite a few good reasons why you should not mimic other travelers and plan a trip to Boracay during the lean season?

1. Prices are low. If you think a Boracay trip cannot fit your budget, think again. Planning a trip to Boracay during the lean season will give you the best opportunity to take advantage of a low price from the airfare to the accommodation, food, and even in buying souvenir items. Prices are sliced in half during the lean season. So if you are on a budget, this is your best resort to enjoy a Boracay vacation without any money worries.

2. The island is almost deserted.

This means that you can have peace and quiet time by yourself in a beautiful island. Such an ideal holiday? You bet it is!

3. Booking for a room is easy. Since you are not competing with a lot of people over the same room, you can get the best valued accommodation at a very reasonable price.

3. Your room, your best friend. There is almost nothing to do in Boracay when the weather is bad so typically, you will spend the whole duration of your vacation inside your hotel room.
