    While I haven't been in Boracay in the 70's, I've been to Malapascua a few times the last years.

    The beach is great, resorts from basic to semi-luxurious. Food and service with ups and downs how it can be expected from a "remote" laid back island.

    Internet not given all the time, brownouts possible. If you are into Scuba, some decent dive-sites, visibility not the best compared to this area.

    All together great for a few days unwinding and relaxing.
    Here some pictures from a trip 2009:

    Following is an Island next to Malapascua, there must be some good people living there that they are spared from the thunderstorm...
