48 Hours with the ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0: A Boracay Photo Diary

Hey guys! I waited until my Boracay trip before I unboxed my brand-new ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 from ASUS Philippines so I can actually test its camera capabilities and share with you some awesome photos I took from the island. A full review of this reliable, handy, and powerful budget smartphone is coming soon! In the meantime, enjoy Boracay through this photo diary!



We stayed at Zuzuni, a Mediterranean-inspired boutique hotel in Station 1 which has cute, minimalist rooms dominated by whites and wooden fixtures. We had a beachfront room with a private veranda, perfect for admiring the astounding beauty of White Beach as we ate breakfast or gulped down beers during sunset. Thank you, Zuzuni, for the memorable stay!

Boracay is filled with activities which anyone can enjoy: from hardcore ones like parasailing and helmet diving to more relaxed ones like Segway and island hopping. Or you can just be totally lazy and enjoy the sea, lounge around with fruit shakes or cocktails, enjoy a sumptuous brunch buffet at The District after a night of partying, or watch the stunning sunset. I have listed below a suggested "itinerary" ideal for visitors who are staying for only 2 days!
