Security while having fun on the beach. That's how I would describe my experience in
Boracay de Cavite Beach Resort which is also called as Marine Base Beach Resort. Yes, you read it right. Boracay de Cavite Beach Resort is situated inside a Philippine Marine Base found in Ternate, Cavite. So expect to see trainees and people in uniform while you are in the area. Having said that, you are guaranteed that this place is safe. So just enjoy!
How to get there?
From Baclaran, take a Saulog bus or a mini bus going to
Ternate, Cavite. You'll be spending 85 Php if you take an AC bus and 70 Php for riding a mini bus. This will be a long drive so just charge yourself up before the actual swim. An estimate of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of traveling time before you reach Ternate bus terminal. From the bus terminal, you need to hire a jeepney because there are no public transportations available going to Boracay de Cavite. A 22 seater jeepney can be hired for 2,000 Php - 3,000 Php. This price is already round trip and may vary depending on how good you are in barking. So goodluck! As for those who'll be travelling in private vehicle, take the Coastal Road and go straight to Cavitex. Prepare 24 Php for the Coastal toll fee and 65 Php for the Cavitex toll fee. From Noveleta Exit, drive all the way going to Ternate. Before you reach Ternate, you'll be passing by the towns of Tanza and Naic.
Note: Monitor your gas tank gauge because the most accessible gas station to Marine Base is in the city proper of Ternate. You'll know you're in the right direction if you got to see the jump off point of Mt Pico de Loro, Puerto Azul and Caylabne Bay Resort. Just drive until you reach the Main Gate of the Marine Base (which is hard to miss).

| Main Gate of Marine Base |
From the Main Gate, prepare your entrance fee. 100 Php is charge for a day swim and 200 Php for an overnight stay. For those who'll be staying overnight, rooms (700 Php) and cottages (350 - 450 Php) are available in the beach side but if you want to cut from these fees you may bring your own tent and just set-up a camp. There's also a pay parking there - Motorcycle: 10 Php (day) / 20 Php (night), Car: 50 Php (day) / 100 Php (night). You need to go back again to your vehicle after paying all those fees because the beach part of this camp is still 2-3 kilometers away from the Main Gate.

| Computing our fees :] |
As we reach the beach area of Marine Base, I noticed the creamy (not white) and fine texture of its sand. And thought to myself that maybe it is one of the factor why this place is called, the Boracay of Cavite - Just maybe. The area is amazing. Never thought that Cavite has this kind of beach. Aside from the fine sand, it is surrounded by tall stone walls with waves splashing on it (like the one I see in the movies). Most importantly, the area and the water of Boracay de Cavite is clean.
 |
| Nice sand and calm water |
 |
| We brought our own tent |
 |
Aside from the tent, we also rented a hut |
It is also recommendable for family outings and reunions. Kids will definitely enjoy Boracay de Cavite because the water level of this beach doesn't change drastically. So, kids and teens can enjoy their swim for as long as they know their limits.
 |
| Ate Rain and her cute kids |
 |
| Swimming time! |
Visitors can also play beach volleyball. There is a dedicated place for this sport in the mid part of the area and I believe it is for free of use. Just bring your own ball. It is also ideal for other games and team building activities provided that it has a wide area to roam around.
 |
Playball!
|
A Sari-Sari store is also available in the area. So if you forgot to bring chips and toiletries, you can buy things there. The comfort room is OK. All covered up and there's no problem with the water supply.
 |
Look how beautiful this place is...
|
There's not so much amenities in Boracay de Cavite provided that it is a Marine base after all, but I truly enjoyed my visit there. The water and the view is enough for me to say that others should also stop by Boracay de Cavite - Marine Base Beach Resort.

| Pack up! EOD... aw (me and my girlfriend) |

Update!!! (March 3, 2014)
from Ehrm.Bas (Thank you for giving me and my other readers an update! =])
Some were asking for contact numbers, or how you can make reservations.
The answer is they don't entertain reservations in the Ternate Marine Base, and they don't have a landline that they'll give away. However if you have a party of 20 or so people, you can make reservations by going to Marine Barracks Rudiardo Brown (Marine Base Manila) in Fort Bonifacio, Makati. Ask the MP guarding the gate where MC7 is. That is where you can make reservations (you have to pay there also), and they'll be the ones who will contact the personnel in Marine Barracks Gregorio Lim in Ternate.
And if anyone wants to ask the "is it still open to the public" question in year 2015 or 2016, just go to the Marine Barracks in The Fort described above and ask the personnel there.
Some were asking if they will still be allowed to enter the premises if they leave Manila at night.
The gate of Marine Barracks Gregorio Lim is only open from 5AM to 10PM, daily. The MP won't let you in outside those hours. Make sure you have a reliable vehicle if going there alone as there are no street lights in the road going up, and almost no settlements - though the road is very nice.
Additional information:
- There are two stores, and one of them accepts cooking service, also from 5AM to 10PM, for a modest fee.
- Signal on Smart is erratic, at best you'll get 2 bars of 3G signal, then sometimes you get dropped to GPRS or 2G.
- Signal on Globe while on the beach front is awesome. I was consistently getting HSPA/HSPA+ signals while in there and encountered no problems uploading 3MB photos.
BORACAY DE CAVITE IS CLOSED UNTIL MAY 16,2014
I've never been in this part of our province and I've been eying to visit this beach last Summer but a major drawback here is you should a private vehicle if you want to visit it since there are really no public vehicles that goes directly to the beach.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing part of Cavite.
it's my pleasure. Btw, I am also a Caviteño. Cheers! I grew up in Bacoor, Cavite. However, I am now currently residing in Manila since it is more convenient going to my work in terms of commuting.
DeleteAnd I agree with you regarding the drawback of this beach resort. Lets just hope that someday public transportation will route on this part of Cavite so other people would be able see the hidden spots of the area like Boracay de Cavite.
Great find! Didn't know about the place and it's quite close. My in-laws live in Imus so this is an easy trip for us when we go back to PH.
ReplyDeleteYeah. it is around 35-40km from imus if iam not mistaken :)
DeleteGood to hear that! Ternate is far. Is the beach also far from town proper?
ReplyDeleteyes it is still far from the town proper. I fell asleep and woke up but we're still on the road :P lol
DeleteEto n lng yt ang part ng cvte na mganda ang beach. Ternate to be exact. Been there 2001 hnd p ito open for public. Npakaganda.. sana lng maalagaan at hnd gwing gtasan lng pgkakakitaan ng kung sinung poncio pilato..
ReplyDeleteSana nga po ay alagaan ito ng mga taga doon pati na rin yung mga bumibisita.
DeletePwede kaya mag rent ng motorcycle instead of jeepney kung 4, 3 lang naman or 2? meron bang available?
ReplyDeletePwede naman for as long as magkakasundo kayo sa presyo =]
Deletethanks for your blog.
ReplyDeleteWe're planning to hike in Pico De Loro for my birthday climb next week and go to this resort after.
Nice itinerary. Have a great birthday celebration!
DeleteHi nice blog! :) Ask ko lang kung allowed din kaya ang pets dito? We're planning to bring our 2 dogs with us haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I am not sure about this one but thanks for visiting my blog
DeleteOpen po ba silang pag weekend? Punta sana kami ng mga friends ko Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteYup open po sila ng weekend.
DeleteI read somewhere na close daw sila pag weekend. Planning to go there din sana ng Saturday. Did you go there on weekends?
DeleteReally? kasi i am sure po na nung nagpunta kami dito weekend yun at di ako nag apply ng leave sa office. Last year of summer yun. hmmmm
DeleteMay contact no po ba kau don for reservation ng rooms.. Plan kc nmin next week mag outing..
ReplyDeleteSa totoo lng dugyot public cr nila don..kaya mas ok na magrent ng room w/ restroom.
Sorry pero wala po akong contact sa place. Biglaang lakad lang tong post ko kaya di na ko nakapagtanong tanong.
DeleteOkay lang po ba kung ung biyahe ay madaling araw? Mga 12am po? Delikado po ba ung daan?
ReplyDeleteopinyon ko lang po ito ah, medyo delikado po bumiyahe ng madaling araw. madalang kasi yung street lights sa lugar tapos ma-hamog pa kaya tiyak mahihirapan kayong makapunta.
Deletesir open po ba to ng week ends?..plan kase namen this coming week ends pero parang may nakapag sabe ata na close daw pag week ends?..thanks po
ReplyDeleteTingin ko naman po Open sila. Kasi itong post ko na to is during weekend. Saturday nun tapos sure ako na di din siya holiday. Welcome po =]
DeleteI LOVE TERNATE CAVITE
ReplyDelete*insertLikeSignHere
DeleteBawal alak?
ReplyDeletePwedeng pwede po ang alak
Deletekuya tanong lang po mangagaling po kasi kami sa tanza cavite.may sarili kaming car magkano po kaya ang gas balikan?
ReplyDeleteim not good at this... but I think Tanza is approximately 30-35Km away from Ternate. So ayun po i-base nyo nalang siya base on the distance.
Deletepaano kapag 30 and above yung pupunta dyan may discount po ba???
ReplyDeleteLast time na nagpunta kami dun, wala silang inooffer na discount. siguro po depende na din yun sa usapan between nung customer and the management
DeleteAny contact information of the owner!?
ReplyDeleteSorry Anon but I dont have the contact number of the owner.
Deletesir i am glad and happy to see your blog.. naghahanap kc kmi ng mga kaofismyt ko ng beach resort and i saw this.. ask ko lang.. open b to till now kc june is your last visit sa Boracay de Cavite.. ndi nman cya for sale or anything.. thank you..
ReplyDeleteWelcome po and I'm happy to know na nakakatulong yung blog ko. Yup, open siya hanggang ngayon.
DeleteHi Geejay,
ReplyDeleteWould you know is there is any possibility allowing us to enter the resort at midnight?..We are planning to go there by Nov 29, which lands on friday..since we need finish our errands sa office..it might be na medyo late na kmi makarating sa resort.. Also we are planning to look for a room..since you've mentioned it ..would they also accept us on that late night?I think we may able to get there at 11pm max of 12mn.
Sorry Zunilu but I can't confirm this matter. I don't have an idea if Cavite De Boracay accepts guests on midnight or that late at night.
DeleteHi Geejay =))) Nice blog, nagbabalak kasi ako magcelebrate ng bday dyan. Ph 100 per head di po ba? Pano pag madami? Open ba sya ng sunday? Pahingi po ako ng contact sa management ng resort kung meron ka thanks in advance =)
ReplyDeletenagtry kami mag bargain ng price pero di po kami napagbigyan eh. hehehe. And sorry po pero wala po akong mabibigay na contact person sa Boracay de Cavite. Sensya na po.
DeleteThanks sa blog Geejay! We are planning to go there next week. Tanung ko lang po. Gaanno pa kalayo from Ternate proper ang resort? Ok naman po ba daan para sa maliit na kotse? Napansin ko po medyo bundok dadaanan, hindi ho ba matarik o dilikado ang kalsada?
ReplyDeleteMga 1 1/2 to 2 hours of drive pa po. Ok naman po yung daan, malaki po at di ganoong katarik pero delikado lang siya kapag gabi since walang street lights sa ilang parts ng daan.
Deletehi geejay. Does the beach really has natural white sand? Are you sure the resort is available for overnight stay? Until what time? The cost of room is P700, right? Are there many rooms to be rent? Sorry for many questions. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI considered the sand of Boracay de Cavite as creamy rather than white. The price of the room stated above was based on our visit last year and yes, they allow overnight stay here.
Deletethanks geejay.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Anon :]
DeleteMeron bang lutuan dyan? Ihaw, mag saing
ReplyDeleteNapansin ko po may ihawan malapit sa mga kubo, di ko lang po sure kung may pwedeng pagsaingan dun. ayun po
DeleteThanks geejay. Do they a small market where we can food to cook at the beach or we should buy things we need before we enter the base?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if there is. But what we did was we brought our own food before we went at Boracay de Cavite. I recommend that you do the same just to be sure po.
DeleteHi! I'd just like to ask if they have a site or maybe contact numbers for reservation? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteSorry Yna but have one and they don't have site either
Deleteoo nga ho contact number sana . last punta ko dito is 2-3years ako with my officemates and nag plaplano sana akong bumalik with a friend this december 27-28 baka kasi fully booked ang rooms nila :(
ReplyDeletesorry bro pero wala akong mabibigay na contact number. Sayang nga kasi anlaki sana ng potential ng lugar in terms of tourism. madami daming nagiinquire kung paano sila makokontak
Deleteoks bro thank you very much . i guess we'll have to try our luck nalang . btw yun route ba sa pag commute ay yun padin till now ?
Deleteyes po. same pa din po
Deletemay time po ba ang entrance dito?
ReplyDeletesa tingin ko po wala kasi they offer rooms for overnight here. Pero just to be sure lang po, mas mabuti po kung umaga pupunta dito.
Deletehi sir good evening. pwede mag tanong pupunta po kasi kami bukas dyan open po ba ? tapos san po ang daan kapag galing imus cavite ? sure npo ba yung entrance na 100 ? 15 above po kame. no more disscount ?
ReplyDeleteHi Swagger. Well, I can't give you the assurance na open sila because I don't have any contacts there. But when I visited the place, weekend din po yun. Next is from Imus, as far as I know may mga baby buses going to Ternate sa gilid ng SM Bacoor. Then just follow the instructor written in my blog. Discount? di din ako sure sir. :) Ayun po
Deletehello goodeve! ask ko lang kung yung fee para sa rent ng jeep ay papunta lang o kasama narin yung pabalik?
DeleteBalikan na po yung price na nakalagay sa blog about jeepney rental :)
Deleteanu addres jan pdi pu ba mag ihaw at magkanu ung park ng jeep
ReplyDeleteBoracay de Cavite Beach Resort -- Calumpang Sapang 1, Ternate, Cavite
DeleteYup, pwede po mag ihaw. Tapos may pinost din po ako sa baba na list of gastos namin. Please look at it nalang po
hi sir, pag nakabike ba magbabayad pa ko ng 100 overnight?
ReplyDeleteNot sure about this one. Pero baka mas mababa na ang singil since bike naman po dala nyo
DeleteWhat about for those going alone, what's the best transportation mode going to the beach proper? masyado kasing malaki yung jeep para sa isa. wala po ba talagang masasakyan? thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYun din po ang isang problem sa site na to. Wala pa po kasing public vehicle ang nadaan sa area na ito. Sinasadya po talaga siya para mabisita. Well, if you have your own motorcycle you can ride it para makapunta dito.
Deletebe here sooner! :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy po! :)
Deletesama :)
DeleteHi were planning to go this weekend just want to ask if may air con ba mga cottages may baby kami ka sama
ReplyDeleteHi Anon. I'm not sure about this but the rooms that I saw during my visit don't have an air conditioning. Sorry kasi limited lang yung info ko sa room ng place kasi di po kami kumuha nito.
DeleteIs it true na hindi na open sa public ang place coz my family planning to go
ReplyDeleteThere this feb.i heard it from someone lang naman but i just want to clarify
pa din.does anyone know about this?
I also heard that news. Sorry pero I don't have an idea whether is true or not po. Wala din kasi akong contact dun kaya di ko ma-confirm.
DeleteHi may iba pa bang pwedeng sakyan papunta sa boracay de cavite? Dalawa lang kasi kami ppunta eh
ReplyDeleteGaya po ng sinabi ko sa blog post na ito, wala pa pong public transportation na nadaan mismo sa lugar na to. So kailangan po talaga mag rent or magdala ng sariling sasakyan to visit this spot.
DeleteHi mr. Geejay.. Do you know kung open sya ng weekdays? O weekend lang? Thanks
ReplyDeleteSabi po ng friend ko open sila. pero sure po ako na weekend is open talaga sila kasi weekend po nung nagvisit ako. Sorry kasi wala po akong mabibigay na contact sa area.
Deletepero may marerentahan naman ng jeep para makapunta po doon dba ang ganda kase ng place ;))
ReplyDeleteyup2 meron naman po. Pagalingan nalang po tumawad para makatipid kayo
DeleteThanks sa blog mo dahil nagkaron ako ng idea para mainvite ko ang aking mga classmate na magkaron ng reunion at dito namin gaganapin...
ReplyDeleteHi, jireh here, gaano xa kalayo from Quezon City? Ok lng ba kahit ndi mag rent ng jeep as long as my personal service nmn? Thanks
ReplyDeleteAlmost 50 questions asking the author for more details about the resort, yet exactly zero came back to the site to thank the author after they went there? Come on people!
ReplyDeleteSir, thank you so much for posting this. It was one of the best impromptu trips we've been to! The place is absolutely awesome, and easy to find too.
There were a few questions that we're asked by some commenters, and I'll try to answer some as my way of saying thanks to your blog (might be cool if you can edit this blog entry and update it with some of the new information here - so new visitors will not need to browse thru 80 comments before seeing the updated info):
---
A few people asked if the place is still open to the public, and whether it's open on weekends; the answer to both questions is Yes. We went there on a Sunday, March 2nd, 2014. Here's a photo of our O.R. with the date on it.

To those unfamiliar with the place who will be driving there, you can find the place using these coordinates: 14°15'54"N 120°37'39"E
If you prefer using Google Maps, this is the link that points directly to the place: https://goo.gl/maps/rmqra
We drove there using Waze as guide, a free GPS app on iOS and Android that has turn-by-turn navigation. The farthest I've driven in that part of town is Kawit, and I never got lost or missed a turn using Waze.

There are two stores, and one of them accepts cooking service, also from 5AM to 10PM, for a modest fee.
The individual shower stalls inside the public bathroom has no doors, LOL. There were a few other people waiting to use the crapper, which has a door, but I didn't feel like waiting, so I just stripped down to wash the sand from my arse without a care in the world. :)
Wow! The information you noted here will be very useful for my other readers. Thank you so much for dropping by and spending your time typing all those facts. :)
DeleteWow, thanks for the comment. But do they give discount for 15 persons if we're going to stay there for 2 nights? Safe place for children?
DeleteI don't think may discount po but its worth to try pag nandun na kayo. Then safe naman po sa kids since may mababaw naman na part dito... pero dapat pa din bantayan kasi baka lumayo sila at mapunta sa malalim.
Deletehi mr. geejay availbale pa po to ngaun? thanks still open?
ReplyDeleteYup they are still operating :)
Deletevery informative, Geejay. might check this out sooner than later!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIs this beach clean? I've heard that some resorts in cavite aren't clean anymore...
ReplyDeleteOf course it is clean. I'm not going to swim there and blog it if I find it dirty.
Deleteim excited.. wer planning to go there.
ReplyDeleteas of the moment ba yung beach malinis parin??
taga cavite ako pero never ako nakapunta pa dito eh :)
tnx
yup2 malinis pa din po siya :) plan then go! Summer na oh hehe
Deletethis blog is really helpful.. I wanna try this one. Thanks for sharing your experience there!
ReplyDeletenp, thanks also for visiting my blog!
DeleteWow it's good to know that... Anyway, are they accepting overnight swimming?
ReplyDeleteYup they allow overnight swim here :)
DeleteHi Geejay, from the Main Gate of the Marine Base, hindi ba nakakaligaw going to the beach na mismo considering na 2-3kms away pa or may mga malinaw na signages na pde sundan? thanks for the reply :)
ReplyDeleteNope, wala na pong ligaw once makapasok po kayo ng base and yes, there are signage you can follow that will lead you to the beach
DeleteFinally, I found a blog for this beach. Gusto ko din to puntahan eh!
ReplyDeleteConfirm ko lang po base sa mga comments na nabasa ko ahh. mahirap po ang pagpunta dito pag walang private vehicle na dala tama po ba? my friends and I plan to to here on saturday but we don;t know how if we are to go using public transportations. So preferably po talaga is magdala lang ng private vehicle?
ReplyDeletemahirap talaga siya puntahan kasi dapat siyang dayuhin pa. yup, walang public transpo na nadaan sa place so the only choice you have is to bring your own car or rent a jeepney.
DeleteI've been searching for some cheapest/nearest beach around the net and I landed on you blog. Thanks for sharing, I never heard of a resort especially marine base that's open to the public. We might go and check this out. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteNp! :)
DeleteThanks for this blog!... I will bring my team this summer =)
ReplyDeletehave fun po! :)
DeleteHi Gee thanks for this! ilang oras po kaya from Taft Manila? =)
ReplyDelete3 1/2 to 4 hours po from Taft.
DeleteLove your blog. <3 <3
ReplyDeleteMe and family are going here tomorrow to enjoy the summer.
Biyahe na rin kayo!

ReplyDeleteGood evening sir. Open ba ang cavite de boracay this coming april 11,2014? Please reply thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding sa kung open sila o hindi that day is a big issue. Hindi po kasi ako makakapagconfirm kasi wala pong contact number yung place na yun. But on my side po since di naman po naka heightened alert ang base, I don't see any reason para mag close po sila that day. Ayun po.
DeleteNagsearch po kasi ako ng page nila sa facebook. Nakalagay po closed sila ng april 1-17 pero 2013 pa naman un. Kaso baka po maulit un ngayong april? Pasensya na po sa abala sir geejay :)
Deleteahhh yah tama yun. pero nag announce sila sa FB page nila na mag coclose sila due to operational commitment. Ngayon, parang wala pa naman silang nilalabas na announcement. :)
DeleteSuper nice blog.. i hope to hear da davilla, about the latest status of cavite de boracay... me and my mom with her senior citizen friends will be there on april 6.... tnx again geejay and to ehrm.bas for the info...
DeleteHi GeeJay and Garnet Albesa,
ReplyDeleteHere's my input about our trip,
MARCH 29, 2014 SATURDAY
1. ENTRANCE FEE: PHP 100
2. PARKING FARE: PHP 50
3. TENT: PHP 450 (Since there are NO ROOMS/COTTAGES available, we rented a tent and i think it's good to feel the ambiance! :)
4. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS (If you want to reserve, please refer to ERHM.BAS INFO)
5. THE PLACE IS CONTINUALLY UPDATING... KUDOS!
6. NO CONTACT NUMBER.
7. Having your own car is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
8. BE RESPONSIBLE WITH YOUR TRASHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.... It's really irritating when you see a lot of trashes everywhere... some people are so MAKULIIIIIIITTTTTT!
9. SARI-SARI STORES TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE.
10. IT'S OUR SECOND TIME TO VISIT HERE.
11. OVERNIGHT STAY: PHP 200 (IF I AM STILL RIGHT!)
12. From 10pm to 6am, the visitors are NOT ALLOWED to leave the place/base because there are no street lights along the road. BE CAREFUL!
I hope this information would be helpful to everyone and PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF OUR ACTIONS TO PRESERVE AND RESPECT THE PLACE.
There are SOME NOT SO GOOD THINGS TO SEE IN THE PLACE, IT'S BETTER FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE THEM FOR YOURSELF, DON'T JUDGE OR GIVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS... AS I HAVE SAID: THEY ARE "STILL" UPDATING THE PLACE, SO GIVE THEM TIME. AND BESIDES, IT IS BEING RUN BY ALL MARINE GUYS!
Anyway, have fun and enjoy the place. INGATS!
Thanks geejay! again, love your blog <3 <3 <3
I will try to do an overnight stay in this place. ciao!
Gee... thanks for these updates! :)
Deletehi gud eve ask ko lang po kasi may plan kami punta jan sa cavite de boracay sa april 9. ask ko lang po what time open jan para naman pagdating namin jan ng maaga para makapasok agad kami at malayo pa pagmumulan namin. thanks po
ReplyDeletety. your reply please thanks :)
You can go here anytime. But recommendable time is in the morning. As early as 5am is ok. There are no street lights on the road so going here or taking the road at night is considered dangerous
DeleteWe're planning to go there po sana dalawa lang po kami then ssakay kami ng saulog bus sa lawton to ternate. I wonder lang po saan po kami exact sa ternate bababa? And another thing po pagkababa namin dun kailngan po tlaga mag arkila kami mg kahit n anong vehicle po mkpunta lang dun sa main gate nila? Wala po bang kahit na ano like tricycle po ganon? Kase po dalawa lang kami po so jeep is not a good idea for us :( is there any option po ba?
ReplyDeleteSa mismong Terminal ng Ternate kayo bababa at doon na available yung mga jeepneys na pwedeng rentahan. Sorry pero jeepneys lang ang "alam ko" na pwedeng rentahan papunta doon. Malayo layo pa kasi ito and walang public transportation ang dumadaan pa doon.
Deletesir any contact no# na pwedeng maka usap or admin na pwedeng mag inquire ty!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to say pero wala po kasi silang contact number doon na pwedeng pag inquire-an
Deletegoodmorning po ^_^
ReplyDeleteask ko lang po if open kaya ito ng sunday?
pls. reply po. because this sunday blak po nmn pumunta..
thank you.
Yes po. open po sila ng sunday. :) Nagsasara lang naman sila kapag naka heightened alert ang militar or may program sila like balikatan. Ayun po
Deleteask ko lang if abot kaya mga scooter hangang sa resort?
ReplyDeletedi po ako familiar sa capability ng scooter pero may mga motorbike riders na nakakaabot dito. sementado naman ang road kaya ok lang naman. I suggest magdala ka nalang ng extra gasoline kasi malayo layo yung gasolinahan from this place
Deletepwede naman siguro magdala ng sasakyan right ?
ReplyDeleteYup, pwede naman po
DeleteDo you have number to contact for reservation? I have 3 little kids so we need rooms to accommodate us. We plan to go there this month. Thanks.
DeleteSorry pero wala po kasing contact number ang Boracay de Cavite.
DeleteHi Gee, is it ok na dumating kami doon ng 10pm? kasi 6pm pa kami manggalibg from Manila. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI suggest na aga agahan nyo po. Medyo delikado kasi ung daan papunta sa area kasi wala ng street lights at may area na mahamog na... ayun po

DeleteHi Garnet! Ahm, how much rent niyo sa room? And how long did you stay their? Thanks! :)
DeleteHi again Gee,
ReplyDeleteCan we bring rice cooker there? radio with speakers, etc? Thanks!
radop with speakers, yep pwede naman po. Rice cooker, pwede din pero walang saksakan ung mga cottages dun so its either magrerent kayo ng room or try nyo makisaksak dun sa barracks.
DeleteSana mag-organize si Mr. Blogger ng outing sa Marine Base kasama lahat ng nag-post dito... Para masaya... Just a crazy idea lang naman po. : )
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think Mr. Geejay? :)

DeleteHi Gee! Finally!.. me and my Team went to Boracay de Cavite last Saturday April 12, 2014. We rented a jeepney about 22 people. We travel from 6:30 PM we arrived there 9:30 PM(we were stucked up in a very heavy traffic at Roxas Blvd). I know its not advisable to travel at night because there was no streetlights. But we made it, this blog really helps me what to expect. I enjoyed traveling going there(my team was already scared; they are thinking about the movie "Wrong Turn" hahaha). The place was so relaxing, the water was clear and clean, in fact you can see some fishes.People went there to enjoy the white beach. You have to be a cowboy and cowgirl when you will stay overnight there. We rented a cottage for Php 700 good for 24hrs. There was no outlet, we brought a big sound system and rice cooker we wasn't able to use it. The stay there was so much fun! Except for the Comfort room its really not good to see; there is no water from 10pm-5am so imagine the people are using it without water. I think traveling there with your own vehicle would take 2 hours. Thanks for this blog Gee! looking for the new places you will promote. God Bless!...
ReplyDeleteHi, yun bang ". We rented a cottage for Php 700 good for 24hrs. " is ung cottage na may room style? thanks
DeleteIm glad that this blog helps you on your journey and Thank you for giving feedback on you trip. This will help my readers a lot! :)
DeleteHi Alice! hindi po di pa po yan Rooms, cottage lang yan sa harap ng beach =). I advice pag pumunta kayo dun magdala na kayo ng pwede nyo higaan kasi sa buhangin talaga matutulog ang dami tao kasi, lalo na during day time. Anyways super enjoy din matulog sa buhangin =)
ReplyDeleteganun, okay. Maraming Salamat. Mukang ansaya nga ng ganun.. ^_^
Deletekung mag rent ba ng ROOMS or COTTAGES my ENTRANCE FEE pa per HEAD? Thanks
ReplyDeletehi Alice! yes, may entrance fee pa rin regardless if you rent rooms/cottages or not. I've been here twice, last time was last weekend. =).
ReplyDeletesir ask ko lang po ung po bang entrance fee po ay per heads po ba
ReplyDeleteYes, it is per head po sir
Deletehello po.. is liquor allowed? kasi diba marine base yun so baka strict sila pagdating sa mga ganung bagay thanks
ReplyDeleteyup pwedeng pwede mag dala ng alak. Bawal lang mag amok pag lasing na hehehe
DeleteHello, share ko na lang din experience ko para naman sa mga gusto maexperience ang place na ito at way ko na rin para mag Thank you kay Mr Blogger Geejay at super fun ang bonding namin ng mga highschool friends ko :)
ReplyDeleteSince marami ng nagpost about sa place, do's and dont's and what to expect, share ko na lang about sa pagpapreserve if you are here in Manila. Sa eagerness kong no hassle pagdating dun, meaning may room na agad (kasi i know na super dami pag Sunday), I followed ERHM.BAS INFO about gong to Marine Barracks sa Fort Bonifacio. Unfortunately, di ako nakapagpareserve kasi they require to at least request 2 weeks prior sa date ng outing. E nagpunta ako 2 days prior, heheheh. Then, they will ask to write a letter (waiver, they will instruct you how to). When you submit the waiver, dapat may kasamang mga biodata or resume ng mga kasama mo.. Then yung payment at least 3 days prior ng outing mo mabayaran. Need kasi daw nila magpaapprove sa head kaya medyo tedious. Yun lang, kaya ang ending maaga na lang kami nagpunta dun.:) Sulit naman, keri na kahit walang rooms, nagdala na lang din kami ng mga tents.
Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing this! :)
DeleteVery informative yung blog mo Mr. Geejay! so excited to visit Boracay de Cavite soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and have fun on your trip!
DeleteIs there any accessble transpo? Yung tipong straight to the resort? And pano kung hindi aabot sa 22pssgers yung sa jip? Maghhntay pa ba mapuno un kung sakali?
ReplyDeletenope wala po. wala po kasing nadaan na public transportation doon. Its either mag dadala po kayo ng sariling sasakyan or magrerent ng jeepney sa may terminal doon.
Deletethank you for this very helpful and informative blog sir geejay :) . ask ko lang po, ive been there kase 3 years ago around april. we had a great overnight stay because we were the only guests that time as in solong solo namin buong beach but it got crowded around noon though. my question is, is it really crowded nowadays based from the comments above even during overnight stays?
ReplyDeleteI guess the place is getting known now that's why there were feedback related to the area being crowded. Or just simply because it is just summer and Cavite is very accessible in the Metro.
DeleteMr.blogger excuse for my words.i really want to go there but my cousin had been there and tod us na marami raw namamatay roon.i am disappointed because of her words,any encouraging words please,i want to go there.thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, im not good at this (boosting on morale) but all I can say is just look at the number of comment this blog post has and the feedback of their visit. With that, I'll still let you decide whether to continue on visiting Boracay de Cavite or not.
DeleteHi Geejay! I went thru all the comments in your very informative blog and I found it so helpful. My question is, if ever you are not able to place reservation, would it be best to go there as early as possible, say 6am to get a cottage? We are planning to go there this weekend. We are a family of 6. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSince its summer, there is a big chance that this place will be crowded so its best to be there as early as possible. 6 am is fine i guess.
DeleteDear Geejay,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! <3 <3 <3
Just dropping by to say hi to all the people here.
Enjoy and do visit Marine base it's really a nice place to visit.
