Redefining the dormitory concept in the Philippines comes Dormitos, the first Japanese-style capsule hostel in the Philippines. It’s first branch is centrally located at the metro’s busiest/transit Center – Cubao. Dormitos offers guest accessibility, security and privacy at a very reasonable price.

I’ve been eyeing to try this hostel since it opened, most especially after my personal trip in Japan, where capsule hostel originated. Luck have probably brought me on this day where I was able to try it finally. And being near to places like Smart Araneta Center and Cubao X made me even more excited to stay here for a night knowing that I could have other things to do around the area on my free time.

If you ask me which includes to the premier tourist destinations in the Philippines, one of the first places that could pop into my mind would probably be BORACAY.

Boracay Island is a tropical paradise in the province of Aklan. Internationally known not just for its fine, white sand beaches, Boracay is somewhat a destination you would not want to miss when you visited the Philippines. I’ve been to this Island so many times, but still the feels and vibe in the island wouldn’t stop me on coming back. A trip to Boracay Island would require you to make multiple transfers from plane to the sea. And because of the small airport in Caticlan, flights are limited to local aircrafts and no direct flights can be booked specially if you are coming from outside the country.
