The Witch Hitch
Enchanted hijinks meet wedding antics in this witty, lighthearted romantic comedy set in the sleepy college town of Zenobia, New York, where magic is very real. Now, a bride-to-be on a quest for the right wedding dress realizes it’s time to embrace her inner witch…
Lots of people get pre-wedding jitters, but Bailey Tomlin’s are a bit extreme. Paranoia . . . the sudden ability to communicate with her pet parrot . . . something odd is definitely happening. And while Bailey searches for the perfect dress, she discovers the unexpected reason why: her birth mother, Esme, is an actual witch, part of a magical clan in the neighboring town of Zenobia, New York. Esme insists that Bailey, too, has witch blood in her veins. That’s not going to play well with Bailey’s uptight future in-laws . . .
Then there’s Seton Adderbury, the man Esme somehow conjured into the present day from 1929, and who keeps crashing into Bailey’s plans. In addition to figuring out seating charts and boutonnieres, Bailey now has to navigate her new witch family, keep an unseen enemy from hexing the ceremony, placate her fiancé, and get Seton back to his own time. But Seton doesn’t know if he wants to go back. And though Bailey’s about to marry someone else—someone who isn’t technically 130 years old—it’s just possible she doesn’t want Seton to go back either . . .

My stay at Witchcraft Island Boracay was absolutely dreadful. The rooms were filthy and infested with bugs. The overall cleanliness of the resort was subpar, and I constantly encountered garbage and litter throughout the premises. The beach was littered with broken glass and cigarette butts, making it impossible to enjoy. Additionally, the noise levels were unbearable with loud music playing late into the night. I would strongly advise anyone considering Witchcraft Island Boracay to find another accommodation option.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Witchcraft Island Boracay, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. The resort lacked ambiance and charm, feeling more like a budget hotel than a tropical paradise. The swimming pool was dirty and poorly maintained, which was a major letdown. The service was slow and inefficient, with the staff appearing overwhelmed and uninterested in providing a pleasant experience for guests. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of attention to detail and would not choose to stay at Witchcraft Island Boracay again.
