well to answer your thread i was there over xmas and new year and my first ever trip to the phils , i am lucky in staying in nice place i own timeshares in differant parts of the world so the cost of hotels and resorts was very little but if i had to cost it all the trip to borocay and staying in the nice hotels you say and food over £5000, but i did save also along time for this plus it was a belated 50th birthday preasent to myself
