    bungalow was excellent, not far from busy places with restaurants, but in a quiet place 5 minutes walk to best beach of island. It is a lovely place , in family property, there is a kitchen outside where we cooked sometimes. And the women looking after us a was so nice, smiling and helpful, we really had a good time there and we stayed longer than planned.

    the shower head water flow.. they need to replace it.. but the water supply is fine..

    The place is good and clean 9.8/10. We enjoyed our stay here because; With free Towel/Hand soap/Body wash/tissue with 1 gallon Water drinking with fridge The Bathroom is clean. The bed is great, good for 2 pax. Walking distance to the popular restaurants and kota Beach. Aircon and Water heater is working perfectly fine (but the water on shower head is so weak) but its okay pa rin. Affordable and decent place to stay. And i love dogs, super nice dogs. But please, beware to the tryk driver for overpriced transpo.. Thank you so much!

    There was a bit of a power problem but the owner was able to address our concern.

    Everything inside the room was too much for the price. We liked how there were a lot of amenities for us to enjoy our first visit there in Santa Fe.

    It is accesible to all essentials, the owners are approachable and welcomed us warmly. Would really recommend this for those backpackers and tourists. Worth the price. May mga adopted dogs din sila na very friendly,nakaka aliw. Pag makabalik ulit ng bantayan, will surely come back to this accomodation.

    I’d give this place a 10 if I could. The staff are so friendly and pleasant. Check in time is at 2 but they let us in at 1PM. They’ve prepared so many things at the guests disposal including drinking water and even ice. It was so much better than I expected. We’ve also met the owner, I think he’s British. He’s really nice :)

    Overall we have a pleasant stay in Marino

    They need to update the catalog/lists as it is a bit outdated. At first we thought they are offering breakfast but we we're informed that it is not available anymore. Perhaps if they can have an in house restaurant or just include mobile numbers of the nearby restaurants available for delivery. Also there are drivers not too familiar with the location of Marino that we ended up using google map. The signage is not visible and there is not enough lighting at night.

    Marino is one of the most convenient place to stay in Sta Fe. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by friendly dogs and the check in/out is very smooth as you no longer need to fill in forms or anything nor need to pay for security deposit. They will just hand you the access card to your room and that's it. The studio is very spacious with complete basic amenities. I didn't see any sofas in the picture when we booked this but fortunately we had it in our room. They provided free 5 gallons of water which is very convenient. The room has a sort of catalog about the house rules and basic information for tourists in Bantayan. The place is not beachfront but it will only take you a couple of minutes to go to the beach. We availed the their laundry service for a small fee and there is also an option to cook your food in the shared kitchen. Also we rarely see the owners of the place but the staff/driver "Taxi" is very accommodating.
