- Uptown Resort in Boracay has many advantages, such as a large and beautiful pool, breakfast, and easy access to D'Mall, allowing for a satisfying trip.
- The pool is especially noteworthy, offering stunning views of palm trees and the ocean, and allowing for convenient use with outside food and smoking permitted.
- We enjoyed relaxing on the resort's private sunbeds while listening to the ocean waves and savored the joys of Boracay by taking part in hopping tours.
There are so many hotels, resorts, and guesthouses in Boracay.
Boracay Station 1, Station 2, Station 3 location
Boracay is divided into three main stations: Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3. I spent a lot of time searching on Naver to figure out which station to choose.
There were so many reviews about which station was closer to White Beach, which was more secluded, and which had fewer Korean tourists. It felt like a truly foreign destination.
Honestly, everything looked the same to me... haha.
There's a beautiful beach in front of you, and it's Boracay, so...
Then I had a brilliant idea.
The answer was in our names.
We were destined to go to Station 2 in Boracay.
Once we decided on Station 2, filtering became much easier.
We sorted by Expedia ratings, prioritizing those closest to Station 2.
All I wanted was palm trees and a swimming pool that felt like a jacuzzi.
I searched for each of the options that Sung2 had chosen.
But
Holy... S
I found it! The swimming pool, with a jacuzzi-like design, that I had used as my phone background for a long time. It was there!
This is the Boracay Uptown swimming pool that I found on blogs and Google. It's not actually that big or wide. They definitely used professional equipment to take this picture. The picture I took below shows the actual size.
Boracay Uptown Resort!!!!!!!!!!
- It's close to D'Mall.
- The beach is right in front.
- All the fun places are clustered together.
- There are sunbeds exclusively for Uptown guests.
- It's clean.
- Breakfast is included.
These are just some nice-to-have options that come with the pool.
We arrived at Uptown late at night, but we received a warm welcome with bright smiles and a necklace gift.
It's really pretty.
There's a full-length mirror in the lobby!
This is clearly a place meant for taking photos.
We took about 20 pictures before heading up to our room while the Korean shuttle service person checked us in.
The room is modern and nice.
Maybe because I was so obsessed with the pool and had such high expectations, I loved everything else about it.
Objectively, the brightly colored sheets and blankets are nice.
This is really delicious.
It was bought for us by the shuttle service since we arrived late at night. I just assumed it was McDonald's chicken.
But
It's definitely the best menu item at the McDonald's in Boracay D'Mall.
It's chicken that you eat with rice and sauce.
It's SO. GOOD.
I even stole some of Sung's food and we went to sleep.
Our first day in Boracay!
Uptown Boracay cafeteria
Uptown includes breakfast, so we went up to eat because it would be a shame to miss it.
It wasn't crowded, there was kimchi, the chef played upbeat music and made omelets, and they brought us juice.
Uptown Boracay breakfast
The food was good. The rice was delicious. I especially liked it.
It was yummy, yay!
How could we miss a picture enjoying Boracay?
The view from the cafeteria and hallway.
This is the view from the dining area.
I love palm trees so much.
It was a great day, even though it rained, stopped raining, was cloudy, and then sunny.
We ate, then got ready and did our hair.
Finally, to the pool!
Woo~~ah~~~ah~~~~~~~~
It was blissful.
Truly blissful.
It's so beautiful. The palm trees, the passing boats, everything is just cinematic.
It was blissful.
This is the actual size.
It's like a slightly expanded version of the cold pool in a neighborhood bathhouse.
It's still good. It doesn't feel cramped.
(I'm biased, haha).
I took pictures while waiting for cocktails.
No, it's just too good. I love the pool.
I borrowed that pink swan tube holder for cocktail glasses from the Chinese ladies next to us.
They later borrowed our cocktails.
Hahaha.
We're all about helping each other out.
Pictures taken over two days at the pool.
I got dressed to take pictures for my KakaoTalk profile.
I'll talk about the henna on my leg in part 3!
Looking at these pictures makes me want to go back so much.
You can bring outside food and even smoke at this pool.
There was a Korean grandmother who was smoking over there.
She asked us if we were a couple.
She didn't stop smoking for a single second.
There are so many different kinds of people in the world.
We played around and took pictures on the tube the Chinese ladies lent us.
The sunlight was just right.
Ooh, time to go out now.
The ocean is right there when you leave Uptown.
It's so beautiful.
Just grinning ear to ear.
We lay on the sunbeds exclusive to Uptown guests, listened to the sound of the waves, took pictures, and drank mango juice.
(While Sung2 went to buy something, I took a million selfies!)
Alright, time for the hopping tour!
The road to Starbucks is lined with palm trees, it's so amazing.
What will we do on the hopping tour?
