Cheapest prices on the island: 600 PHP/ room/night (2 p.). Discounts for longer stays. Our village (barangay) Obo-ob is an increasingly popular destination on Bantayan Island. It is only 15 minutes driving from the white sand beaches, the cafes and restaurants of Santa Fe, and 10 minutes driving from the capital Bantayan Town, with its large public market, shops and offices. Obo-ob is known for it
s Omagieca Mangrove park, and also has its own little beach now, the "kasing." Over the last year, the roads have been improved, so that it is easier to reach than ever. Our guesthouse is part of our private "Rainbow Village" complex, with 8,000 sqm of green in the middle of the fields. I can be reached by car, tricycle, motorbike, scooter or bike via Lumbang Road; a private ROW leads you to our entrance. Rainbow Village is a combination of a farm, a residence, and a creative studio for photography and literature. You are invited to share in our life here on the lot. The large bathroom, the extra CR and the kitchen, as well as the patio in front of the kitchen and the "Shadow Roof" on the other side are common spaces. We are not a high-luxury hotel, therefore, our prices are very affordable. The guest rooms have ca. 14 sqm, and include a double bed, a table and chair, and a cabinet to store your clothes. If you have a lot of extra luggage that you don't need immediately, we can safely store it for you. Room 5 has an aircon, the other two rooms are fan rooms. The prices for all rooms are the same, but for the use of the aircon, there is an extra electricity charge of 50 PHP per day. All advertized prices are per room (for 1 or 2 adults and eventually a child up to 12 years). You can pay in cash, in PHP or Euro, or you can send money to our Paypal business account (USD). We have a pretty good WiFi connection, thanks to our 60 feet (20 m) high antenna tower, but we cannot exclude the possibility of interruptions, due to atmospheric conditions, problems in the provider network, etc. You can use our WiFi for free and will receive the password on arrival. The phone signal is OK if you use SMART. SMART has built a new signal tower just 150 m away from our lot. The best way to explore the island is per scooter or motorbike; these can be rented in Santa Fe (ca. 200-300 PHP/day). We offer no regular shuttle or sightseeing services, but you can always ask us to help you out. Meals are not included in the room price. You can use our fridge, our kitchen stuff (pans, plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, etc.), and our gas burner. If you wish, we can prepare breakfast, lunch and/or dinner for you, but we must charge the extra costs. We have a big, new laundry machine. Please ask us to operate it for you. Per laundry load, we ask 50 PHP for water, detergent, electricity and equipment. For washing by hand, we have a convenient "pasong" which you can use for free. For the bathroom, we provide basic supplies such as soap and towels, but for you personal hygiene, please bring your own shampoo, toothpaste, deo, etc.
