Thinking about spending a week in the Philippines, never been there so needed some guidance.

We always travel with our two kids (8 and 4) everywhere we go so they are quite good travellers but is this location a kids friendly place. I have read that the intra island transfers from the airports can be on some questionable boats.

Basically I like to go and spend 5-6 days in a resort. So looking for 5* luxury. Can someone suggest a good resort that is on the beach and kids friendly.

How is Boracay if we just pick a nice hotel and stay around there as the reviews of Boracay all seem to suggest its nothing but drunk backpackers and people trying to sell you stuff.

Is it worth spending a few days in Manila or is 1 day enough to see the city?

Any other island where the resort is worth visiting for?
