Travel Destinations to Enjoy During “Ber” Months

We’re onto what we call the “Ber” months, and apart from it marking the start of the Holiday season, it’s also that time of the year when vacation leaves are being filed and bags are being packed. But before one actually hops on a plane, a boat or even a bus and spend a week away from home, Google and travel blogs become the ultimate companions as he/she decides where to take his/her feet. We compiled a list of the most sought-after travel destinations, for quick reference!

1. Baler, Aurora, Philippines

The surfing season officially starts during the “Ber” months, and with Baler being one of the most popular surfing destinations in the country, it definitely makes it to the list! Not only does it boasts of its beautiful waves friendly for both beginners and pros, it’s also perfect for anyone who loves nature as it is. Waterfalls, coves, rock formations and historical sites – name it, Baler has it! And oh, did we mention their best-tasting Chocnut Turon and the most affordable Eat-All-You-Can service at PHP199?

2. Hong Kong

Hong Kong, being the nearest among our neighboring countries, has always been one of the top destinations first time travelers opt to go to. If you’re in for long walks with a handful of shopping and food tripping in between, you’ll surely enjoy the busy streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Kowloon, Soho and more. Reserving a day for Hong Kong Disneyland is truly a good idea, for the colorful parades featuring your favorite Disney characters will absolutely make you feel the magic of the Holidays!

3. Cebu, Philippines

Cebu might be the most talked about during January for its very much anticipated Sinulog, but the province, without a doubt, offers more than just face paints and street parties! From activities ranging from the simplest – shopping at the newly opened SM Seaside, food tripping at the Larsian – to the most extreme – quick road trip via the “habal-habal”, diving in Kawasan Falls, whale watching in Oslob, etc. – it will definitely push you to your limits!

4. Boracay, Philippines

The finest sands and the breathtaking sunset of Boracay remain as they are all year round. The famous Johna’s Fruit Shake does not stop appearing on everyone’s Instagram feed may it be summer or the rainy season, so as the incredible view of the golden hour as seen from a paraw. The friendly atmosphere of the island will keep you up until midnight, accompanied by sumptuous meals offered by world-class restaurants, one-of-a-kind entertainment by the most talented artists and the relaxing experience offered by multi-star accommodations like 7Stones Boracay! The strategic location of the resort in Bulabog Beach will show you the quiet and serene side of Boracay, one of the many reasons why everyone keeps on coming back to the island.

5. Baguio City, Philippines

Sure, Baguio City is best known to be the Summer Capital of the Philippines but the “Ber” months is also a good time to visit. It is the perfect destination to flaunt your sweaters, scarves and boots matched with a hot cup of tsokolate de batirol while keeping warm in front of a fire place. Aside from the staple tourist spots we’re familiar with since our childhood days, Baguio also now boasts of its wide selection of food trip destinations. When already feeling bloated from all the eating, you might want to take a glance of the beautiful art inside the famous BenCab Museum and learn the culture of the Ifugaos at the Tam-awan Village.

Whether it’s the sound of the ocean waves, the bright lights of the city or the foodgasm that you crave, “Ber” months are definitely one of the best times to book that flight and enjoy the moments with your friends or loved ones!

1) From Yram’z S, rated us 5 stars

“7 Stones Boracay did an excellent job,” Yram’z S, who stayed with us July 2015 with his significant other. “Whether it was the top-notch food delivered to the room, to delicious drinks at the pool swim-up bar, they made us feel like royalty and always greeted us by name. They even arranged a romantic beachfront 4-course dinner for us! The room we stayed in had an awesome view of the ocean, and the balcony was perfect for breakfast and coffee, delivered at our request.”

And will they come back?
“I will recommend this place to all my friends and family.”
Thank you, Yram’z!

2) From Maureen G, rated us 5 stars

Maureen stayed with us last July 2015, for business. Here’s what she had to say:
“It’s located on the serene part of Boracay Island. For anyone who wants to escape the chaos of White Beach, 7 Stones Boracay Suites should be on top of their list.”
Why, thank you!

“Their rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The food was delightful, and the staff was beyond accommodating! If you want to experience the other, better side of the island, you’ll love 7 Stones Boracay Suites.”

3) Charlotte U, rated us 5 stars

Here’s a piece from Charlotte U, who enjoyed a 10-day stay with us last May.

“Stayed at 7 Stones for ten days; it was fabulous. It’s located on the opposite side of White Beach, but it only took us 10 minutes to walk over. It was so beautiful, with amazing rooms. In my opinion, it’s the best spot on the island.”

Thank you! We try to keep it nice for our guests!

“We saw the sun coming up from the ocean from our balcony, and it didn’t leave us the whole day. There’s a lot of boat-traffic in the island, but you won’t see any in 7 Stones, which adds to the quiet. The staff? 10/10, absolutely! They were so polite, kind, and helpful. They helped us with everything, from booking private island hopping tours to having extra sunbeds at our balcony. I will recommend this, 100%!”

4) John K, rated us 5 stars

Straight from Estonia, here’s what John has to say about our peaceful little place in Boracay.

“If you’re looking for quiet evenings in Boracay, this is the hotel for you. From the moment we arrived, until trip’s end a week later, everything was perfect. Great, friendly service from all the staff, rooms serviced every day, shuttles upon request… it’s great.”

We’re all about that good service, of course.

“Never was there any threat of danger, and you can kitesurf just a few meters away. They serve meals on the beach, and it’s all very romantic with the live music and flickering candles. It’s a great place to watch the sunrise. Breakfast, no words, hands down perfect, I will certainly stay here again!”

5) Delnmanda, Rated 5 Stars

Delnmanda enjoyed a stay with us in April 2016, and let her tell you why.

“From check-in to check-out, everything was amazing. The steak nights and curry nights in 7th Note Cafe, the amazing bar staff, a gorgeous suite, my own Jacuzzi bath and shower, WiFi everywhere, and just a few steps out to their beautiful beachfront, on the quiet side of the island. Would highly recommend staying here.”

Oh, and she asks that you check out the junior suites, for couples.
