The foot traffic and the hawkers can be a tiring sight. If you want better prices for better stays, go there during the low season (July to October). You might chance a storm or typhoon during this time, so it’s better if you can stay for a week or so to make up for lost time (typhoons usually last for only several days, halting flights for usually a day.) I typically go on a Sunday and leave on a Thursday or maybe Friday just to thoroughly enjoy the empty Boracay once seen back in the 90s.

@Internet – Wi-Fi coverage is very good there, and 3G/3.5G’s cheap. Here check this out:

Last I checked there was some seriously high speed Internet connection being offered there (10Mbps or something like that.) I don’t have an LTE phone to check, but I think 4G/LTE coverage is on the island too, but this is just too pricey and they charge per bandwidth used.
