Glorious Food at Sands and Indigo Restaurant in Discovery Shores Boracay

My short Boracay stay wouldn't be complete without food. For any balikbayan or foreigner, I always believe that it's an integral part of a trip to actually experience Filipino food with an ambiance as spectacular as it is in Discovery Shores Boracay. After lugging around our bags from Manila all the way to Boracay island for a few hours, it was a good thing we stayed at Discovery Shores Boracay because we knew that we're up for an immensely scrumptious feast at Sands Restaurant and later at Indigo Restaurant, of which both are the resorts flagship food destination.

The Interiors

Sands Restaurant and Indigo Restaurant is found in the front beach side of Discovery Shores Boracay. It's a great place to lounge as the breeze of the cold easterly winds makes it way to Boracay's shores. Since you're also located at Station 1, you are bound to have a more peaceful and quiet ambiance with only the occasional crashing of the waves heard on the background. The structure is modern, the furniture and decor follows nature, and it's bordering zen like on some instances. With the white walls, high ceilings, Sands Restaurant pretty much would be a grand place to welcome friends and family before you sit down for breakfast, lunch, high tea or dinner.

If you're a bit romantic or maybe have been bitten by the love bug, have them arrange your dinner at Indigo Restaurant. It's right beside Sands Restaurant but is in the more secluded side of the resort. They do hold events, wedding proposals and formal dinners here so you get to enjoy the more blue classy, club side of the resort's facade.

From the looks of it, they've got a pretty good batting average with women saying yes to most of the proposals so if you're thinking of that special dinner to actually tell her how you feel, Indigo Restaurant's the way to go!

Breakfast at Sands Restaurant

I really require a heavy breakfast because that's where we kinda "refuel" so we can go around later in the day to spots in Boracay. I wouldn't recommend you to cook when in Discovery Shores Boracay as it's very troublesome to actually look for ingredients and cook it yourself when in Boracay. The room packages often come with the buffet breakfast so if you may, ask for it specifically. Here's some of the items on the breakfast buffet which I ate that morning, please don't judge! LOL!

A Blissful Stay at Discovery Shores Boracay

My weekend started right as we journeyed to Boracay. It's undoubtedly one of the world's best, if not the best island destination. I've been here quite a lot of times but only suffice to stay in small hotels that don't really offer much than a place to sleep. It's practical I know but after a whole day of activities and roaming around the heaven sent beach, I always end up feeling disappointed because we get to only sleep in uncomfortable beds, paired with icky toilet/baths and sometimes not so nice next door guests which you wouldn't want to really delve into.

We had the right mind to actually stay at majestic Discovery Shores Boracay, a property owned and operated by the Discovery Group. It's a complex with rooms and amenities poised in four floored buildings, set in upper and lower tiered areas. Our room is in the third floor atop Discovery Shores Boracay's central waterfall. The whole thing has 4 floors of which each have their own balcony, it's just picturesque that we wanted to stay there most of the time. 

Here's a short tour of our room, our first lunch at SANDS Restaurant and dinner at Indigo Restaurant. It's all in the beach front of Discovery Shores Boracay. .

The Rooms

We asked to roam around the property and look at some of the other rooms. Bad idea because I wished I could have spent a little more on the bigger rooms and in-room facilities. Just look at the 1-Bedroom Premier Room!
