MANILA, Philippines – The resort island of Boracay is the best place in the world for relaxation, according to a poll conducted by a hotel booking site.
The survey is based on feedback provided by over 113,000 respondents at the end of their stay, Agoda.com said in a statement released on Thursday.
It added that customers got to rate two categories – “nightlife” and “relaxation” – on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest.
