Halloween is More Fun (and Spooky) in Boracay

A week before Boracay Halloween festivities went full blown, 7Stones Boracay Suites and threw an epic party at 7^th Note Cafe. On a warm Friday night on October 23, 2015, Bulabog Beach witnessed a spooky and fun Halloween party at 7Stones Boracay Suites, with guests from all over the world.

72 hotel guests and Boracay locals feasted on different Halloween-inspired foods dished out by 7^th Note Cafe’s chefs. They were served a mouth-watering selection of Swamp Soup, Wild Wings, Over the Top Fries, Hefty Butcher’s Burger, Sloppy Dog and Under the Sea (the chef’s specialty sandwich with breaded choices of seafood). Charles Band, a local group, sang the crowd’s favorite tunes.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a spooky night if the people were not dressed to the nines! The staff of 7^th Note Cafe got into the spirit and wore their best Halloween costume. Allan Guevarra happily scared the guests in his zombie costume that won him 1^st place. Joey Alinsonorin won 2^nd place in his White Lady garb and Aiza Celeste, a female zombie won 3^rd place. They won a complimentary dinner gift certificate.

The guests also showed up in their best Halloween costumes. Two winners from the Boracay Foundation Incorporated (BFI) received dinner gift certificates from 7^th Note Cafe.

As the night turns deeper, the guests partied well into the night and experienced a different kind of Halloween celebration only 7Stones Boracay can offer.

How did you spend your Halloween weekend?
