It’s a movie theater turned into a spa treatment room. Or maybe the other way around. In any case, you can have a relaxing foot spa while watching your favorite horror movie Saw (and freak out during the part wherein the guy rips off his own feet with a hacksaw).

BlueWater Day Spa has recently introduced this spa movie theatre concept as a one-of-a-kind service being offered at their newly opened Ortigas Avenue branch. It’s the first ever spa movie theatre in the whole wide world according to their president, Francis Simisim. If ever you see one of those posters or billboards of Marian Rivera and Piolo Pascual endorsing a spa, it’s them – BlueWater Day Spa!

Last December, we spent a windy weekend in Boracay during the holidays. We flew there via SEAIR and since it was a sort of last minute outing with friends, we have not made early reservations at any hotels. But since at that time, surprisingly there weren’t too many tourists, we managed to get a 3 days / 2 nights accommodation at The Taj Guesthouse situated along Station 2.

If you’re looking for a no-frills, cheap yet classy mini hotel in Boracay, then The Taj is one of several guesthouses located just 3-minutes away from D’Mall in Station 2. How to get there? You can check out Nina’s (of JustWandering.org) guide to cheap accommodation in Boracay diagram. Rates for their Standard Room accommodation can go as low as Php1,000 during off-peak (June to November), Php1,500 during peak season (December to May), and Php2,500 during holidays. Here are their rates and amenities.

Hmm, so this means you can bring your girlfriend with you and then tag along a mistress or maybe your ex. This is also enticing for those of you caught up in a love triangle. Whatever the scenario, check this out if you’re planning a trip to either Boracay, Coron, or Batanes this Valentines. Here’s the official press release:

Kasbah (or Qassabah as it is pronounced) is an Arabic term that means fortress. It’s also the only place in Boracay where you can have your fill of exquisite Moroccan cuisine. Back in December, we spent a weekend in Boracay and one of the places where we dined was Kasbah Moroccan Bar and Restaurant. It’s located in Station 1 near Discovery Shores.

I wasn’t too familiar with Moroccan cuisine so I didn’t know what to expect. Moroccan food use an assortment of spices including mint, olives, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, chillies, lavender, and saffron which is considered as the most expensive spice out there. It was dinner time when we arrived at Kasbah.
