“THE place to be”ここに泊まるべき!! ■ジャックス フランス
Villa Marmarine will surely be on my top hostel to stay in Asia, and surely the only one to go in lovely Siquijor.
Splendid view on the perfect clear water, nice tropical environment, lovely desert beach just for you with hammock to relax.....Nice house with bamboo style, very quiet, free laundry, free internet......just the paradise.
I have not check the others big rooms but the bungalow was really correct and clean, with TV/hot water/fridge/ bamboo style bed and mosquitoes net.
The best thing about Villa Marmarine, is surely the kindness of the owner Dagman and the PERFECT staff absolutely lovely, always looking if you are ok and extremely polite.
With a Japanese touch (girls wear Kimono at night), that is surely the best staff I have ever seen so far away in Asia, its like a big family and u feel really at home here.
Need to do some exercise? Go with Dagman play tennis in the private tennis area, he will like and he s good teacher.
No need to look for another place in Siquijor, thats THE place to go, your trip here will be like in paradise.
I thanks them for their kindness and I will definitely be back there.
「フィエスタにも誘われて!」 ■ビッキー&オリバーさん オーストリア
Waehrend unseres dreiwoechigen Aufenthalts auf den Philippinen,
wurden wir hier in der Villa Marmarine am Herzlichsten empfangen.
Wir genossen 4 Tage lang die freundliche und entspannte Atmosphaere und fuehllten uns als Teil einer kleinen Familie.
Gastfreundschaft ist hier mehr als nur ein Wort! Unsere Unterkunft
war wie eine Villa-sehr gross und geraeumig, sauber, mit allen
Annehmlichkeiten und allem was man sich vorstellen kann.
Daman, Marie und alle Maedels und Jungs um Euch herum ? Herzlichen
Dank fuer diese wundervollen Tage ? wir haetten laenger bleiben
sollen, aber leider neigt sich unser Urlaub dem Ende zu ABER
wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
Passt auf Euch auf - Bussi

PS: Danke auch fuer die grossartigen Tennisspiele vor dem
Abendessen…

Siquijor is known for its mystic healers, but the most impressive “elementary” healer is probably “DAGMAN” himself.
We were brought to Villa Marmarine by the tricycle and planned to stay for one night, which ended up to be impossible. We had a six night stay including Cockfighting, Bollo Bollo, fresh tuba, vulcanizing, banana blossom, strong coffee,
“Het beste Boek van de Weg” We love DAGMAN-shouting children-tour, firefly tour “Goedemorgen” every morning, Diving and passionate exam stories of the working volunteers, the hammocks at the white sand beach, clean clothes and of course the great staff which treats the place like it is their own.
Dankjewel “ DAGMAN and MARIE, you showed us the insights of the Philippines…………..
Tot ziens en liefs, in Nederland of Siquijor.

We got here by chance(It was the fate)and It could not have been better.
We planned to stay 1 or 2nights on Siquijor but it ended up with 5days at this cosy living that is totally fantastic.The cottage that feels like a villa,has much space and a good value.In the restaurant we were stargazing while eating dinner.
Dagman and Marmarine were wonderful,friendly and very caring.
Thank you for making our stay at so great and relaxing.

friend who had passed through recently. We did not know what
to espect and certainly did not expect the warm welcome and
friendship we received?it was like coming to visit family!We
had a wonderful time visiting the local school,the Boro Boro
healers,birdwatching in the hills,snorkeling in the marine
sanctuary,horging out the local tennis court with”A grade
“players.Of course there were the lorg breakfast by the sea
and the hilanious chat at and trying Japanese food.Thanks

私たちはビラマーマリンでとても素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。ダーマンさんは、気遣いをなさる、客の話を聞いてくれる、そしてとてもエネルギッシュでとても親切な主人です。フィリピン人スタッフもみな親切です。ロケーションもよく、バンガローは居心地がよく、楽しい装飾がいっぱいで、あちこちに日本の香り「禅」のインスピレーションが感じられます。お料理も非常に美味しく、洗練されています。パラダイスは存在するんだということをここで発見しました。
Family of Adam and Evano
We enjoyed a marvellous stay at Villa Marmarine Resort. Daman, with a lot of energy as well as tremendous kindness, is a very attentive owner and host, listening to his guests' requests. His entire Filipino crew is also very helpful and kind. This place is magnificent. The bungalows are very comfortable and joyfully decorated with plenty of inspiration from Japanese "Zen". Food served is of very good quality and very refined. The Paradise exists. We have found it here. Click the letter!

Kumustaka?
バコロドでは出発日に午前のマニラ行きがキャンセル。乗り継ぎ便に間に合わずマニラでフィリピン航空からタイ航空に乗り換えてなんとか予定日に大阪に帰りました。
今回の7DAYsの旅はハプニングに継ぐハプニング!久々の冒険旅行でした。しかしシキホ-ルの神様はぎりぎりのところで上陸をゆるしてくれ、歓迎してくれたようです。たった1泊、約27時間のシキホ-ル滞在でしたが、なんと密度の濃いこと・・・・
台風の影響で大荒れの海をつっぱしる高速船DELTA 1では船酔いで顔面蒼白になり、マ-マリンのレストランのウッドデッキからみる輝く景色に感動、幼稚園・小学校訪問での子ども達の笑顔、ふしぎなBORO BOROのヒ-ラ-?じいさん、コテ-ジの露天風呂は最高。そして熱っぽく夢を語るダーマンとの出会い。マリエさん剛くんも桟橋から思いきり手をふって見送ってくれました。そのとき、またくるぞ!と思った瞬間でもありました。

「Hope to return one day.」 ■Samantha Naila Haque
Hello,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your hospitality when my friend
and I stayed with you last week. It was the best place on our trip. Thanks
also for sending Max to Cebu to give us our passports. It was incredibly
kind and out of your and his way to do so. It was very silly of us to leave
them behind and we could have missed our flight so we are extra grateful.
Back in London and it was freezing cold. We are also stuck in our flats
as the snow is treacherous. Hope to return one day.
Kind Regards,
「We all really enjoyed it!」 ■Bibbi and Lito
Thank you Dagman for the lovely stay at your place.
We all really enjoyed it! And we had a blast in Siquijor
Say hi to your sweet wife!
Take care! Best regards,
「I am hoping to bring my family soon to Villa Marmarine.」 ■Jean-Philippe Cremers
Dear Daman and Marmarine-san,
Your guesthouse at Siquijor was for me an incredible memory.
I do not stop talking about it since I came back to Japan.
I would like to email you the photos I took at Villa Marmarine. Please
could you email me your email address.
I am hoping to bring my family soon to Villa Marmarine.
Kind regards to you both,
「We just wanted to say thankyou!」 ■Georgina, Lita, and Chris.UK
We just wanted to say thankyou for a most pleasurable four night stay. Warm
and friendly service from the staff, great accomodation, and tasty food. 10 out of 10, Keep up the good work! Kind regards
「I certainly hope I get the opportunity to stay there again one day soon!」 ■Yan Kruger
Hello Dagman,
I just wanted to thank you, your wife and your great staff for an excellent stay at your resort. I was so impressed by the level of service and friendliness of your resort. I certainly hope I get the opportunity to stay there again one day soon! You were so understanding when our home was broken into, delaying our arrival and your staff were amazing in organising diving for me on January 1, followed by buying our ferry tickets in the morning to make sure we could get a ticket. I was most impressed! Arigatou Gozaimasu
「We had a great time!」 ■Daniel, Charlie and Beatrix
Thank you for the photos you sent us, we had a great time staying at the Villa Marmarine (despite the camera incident), you and your staff made it one of the best places we have stayed in our whole trip. Thanks again,
「We had the peace and quiet we needed.」 ■Wendy and Tito
Dear Toshito-san,
My cousin Tito and I relished our stay at villa marmarine.
everything is beautiful at your place.
The staff was very friendly and courteous.
We had the peace and quiet we needed,even for just a few days.
I look forward to the next time we can visit
and have the time to go around siquijor to see where
it is best to have the sanctuary.
Thank you so much for giving what you can to help a part of my country.
all the best, wendy-san

「I fell in love with the view so were the other people who was with me.」 ■Tony Castillo
Before we arrived at Siquijor, I dont know what to expect. Initially, our driver brought took us to a resort in San Juan. Was a good resort but it was not actually for me. So, the next day, we checked out and our driver took us to Villa Marmarine. The owner was very accommodating and the staff was absolutely fantastic. I fell in love with the view so were the other people who was with me. Instead of us going to another place, we stayed for a night. I wish we could have stayed more but we have got a trip to Bohol.
Foods are fabulous, well we only ate Dinner, breakfast and lunch.
I am sure that I will be back in the Villa Marmarine for a longer stay and to see the smiling and friendly face of the staff and its owner.
Keep it up guys and hope to see you in the near future. :)
