I’m a licensed tourist guide and I have been living in the Philippines for twelve years. Together with my Philippino wife we run tropical agritourism with the possibility of renting rooms in Bantayan Island. Our place its completely different place then others. All guests are treated individually and treated as members of our family. I always personally greet guests and look after them. I'm alway
s helping my quests with many things and also with the organization of transport and attractions. Our place is for tourists who want to be away from commerce, large hotels, resorts, street noise and want to be closer to nature. We live in a local village where our family lives. Thanks to this, it is very safe with us, no strangers has access. Around the rooms for guests there is a very large and beautiful tropical garden where you can find banana trees, coconut palms, various flowers and medicinal herbs
Outside kitchens are available at the bungalows, guests can prepare their own meals or my family can cook local dishes for the guests. We can help with arranging the rental of scooters or arrange other transport with a guide for guests to explore the island. I'm licensed tourist guide and I know all the attractions on the island and I have a lot of interesting stories to tell my guests. We can organize also Island Hopping, fishing with local fishermans and snorkling in local reef. A few years ago, Discovery Channel made a documentary about our place. Our place is well located in barangay Marikaban (4km from Santa Fe Town and 7km from Bantayan City). The nearest beach is only 150 m from our place. Also our place is good located because its close to Sandira Beach (Paradise Beach) and close to Omagieca Obo-ob Mangrove Garden. By staying in our place you have security, privacy, rest and you are away from traffic, crowds of tourists and you are staying in a big tropical garden. If you are fed up with mass tourism and commercial resorts, this is the perfect place for you. I am a very friendly person and always I'm trying to make my quests feel like at home.
