Hello, I’m Michael. My entire career has been connected to tourism — I hold a degree in Tourism and have worked in several travel agencies, gaining valuable experience in hospitality and guest services. I’m an open and empathetic person who genuinely enjoys meeting new people and learning about their cultures. For the past 16 years, I’ve been running an agritourism homestay together with my Filipina wife. We welcome every guest as if they were part of our family. I personally greet everyone, provide assistance whenever needed, and help organize transportation and local activities to ensure a smooth and memorable stay.

Escape the crowds. Discover real island life. Our place is perfect for travelers seeking peace, authenticity, and a deeper connection with nature — far from commercial resorts, tourist noise, and crowded streets. We are located in a traditional local village where our own family lives, making it an exceptionally safe and welcoming environment. No random visitors, no chaos — just a true home atmosphere. Ideal for long stays and digital nomads. We provide two independent high-speed internet connections, ensuring a reliable signal for work, streaming, or video calls. Rooms can be rented for both short and extended stays, so you can enjoy island life at your own pace. A tropical garden right outside your door. Surrounding our bungalows is a spacious garden filled with banana trees, coconut palms, vibrant flowers, and medicinal herbs — a perfect place to relax, read, or simply enjoy the sound of nature. Cook your own meals — or taste real island cuisine. Each bungalow has an outdoor kitchen, giving you the freedom to prepare meals. If you prefer, my family can cook fresh, local dishes made from ingredients straight from our garden or the village market. Guided experiences from a licensed local guide. I’m a certified tour guide who knows Bantayan Island inside and out. We can help you rent scooters or arrange private transportation with a guide to explore hidden gems and local attractions — always with fascinating stories along the way. Unforgettable island activities. From island hopping and snorkeling in vibrant reefs to fishing trips with local fishermen, we can organize experiences that let you discover the true spirit of Bantayan beyond the typical tourist routes.

Our homestay is located in Barangay Marikaban, just 4 km from Santa Fe town and 7 km from Bantayan City. The nearest beach is only a 300 m walk, and you’re just a 4-minute scooter ride from Sandira Beach, the famous cliffs, and the Omagieca Obo-ob Mangrove Garden. By staying with us, you’ll enjoy security, privacy, and peace in a spacious tropical garden—away from traffic, crowds, and noisy resorts. If you’re tired of mass tourism and looking for an authentic island experience, this is the perfect spot for you. The area is safe, and the local community is warm, welcoming, and always happy to help.
