We have decided to offer a few tents here. We are calling the place, The Resort at the End of the Road. Simple two person tents on platforms on our terrace with a view of Matabungkay Bay. There is a swimming pool, the beach and beautiful trails nearby.

Bangkas are available for trips to nearby isolated beaches and islands.

We will provide low cost places for travelers to stay a day or a few days. No long term stays though long term rentals are available nearby from neighbors. Thelma is a good cook and Anna will help her to provide healthy inexpensive meals.

We will probably open up in early October. We only have two tents each for two people so if you want to visit you had better book ahead, 750 peso/night, max stay is 4 days. Best contact is by email

Pictures will follow soon.

Bob, Thelma and Anna

Following my friend Dennis Barret innovative effort to market the Casket Coffin he is making, the Last Voyage. What is extra cool is you can use it as a bookcase until you need it as a coffin.
