Comments	the good: 500 peso/ nite incl. fan, tv in room. sm. table chairs and sm. cabinet BUT no en suite bathroom.; at that time the exchg. rate was 42.5 peso / USD . the diving was NOT spectacular despite 2 dive site high rating in the internet on best diving sites in the Philiappines; the German instructor said her english was bad; her air consumption was bad; the owner (married to a filipina) really mistreats Dave by not paying him. The food was any type and any cost along the beach; some tasty, breakfast at a Philippine type cafe was about 130 peso for coffee and silog; lunch abut 200 peso; dinner was 115 to 270 peso. There was at least a 1000 tourist on Boracay. The diving was not worth it. Some European girls did not speak English.
