Tourism Website- Marinduque

I am delighted to announce, the new website for tourism (www.tourism.marinduque.gov.ph) in Marinduque. It is a separate website from the provincial government website. There are six package tours that could be arrange ahead for tourists, backpackers and island-hoppers. The tours are as follows:
1. Luzon Datum of 1911-Geodetic Center of the Philippines
2. Hinulugan Falls Wilderness Tour
3. Balanacan Island Hopping Tour
4. Tres Reyes Island Hopping Tour
5. Maniwaya and Polo Islands Hopping Tour
6. Tarug Cave Tour

Details for the above tours, including contact telephone numbers are listed in the website.

The website also lists all accommodations ( hotels, resorts, inns, pension houses and private rooms) from the six towns of the province. The price of accommodation range from 1000 pesos per person per day ( about $20 US) up to $400 per day( see newly completed resort in Buenavista, www.bellaroccaresorts.com). For exact price of lodging please call the respective hotels. The telephone numbers for each hotel are also listed in the website.

I have some good news for the budget conscious tourists to Marinduque. I have decided to open the two guest rooms in the main house of my beach resort, Chateau Du Mer to the public beginning today.

Both rooms are air conditioned and also have electric fans. One room has a queen size bed and the other has two double beds. The bathroom has both cold and hot shower. Included in the rental of 1000 pesos( $20 US dollars) per person per night is the use of refrigerator and microwave oven. There will be an additional charge of 200 pesos per day for the use of the gas stove/oven for heavy cooking.

The two rooms have a distant view of the ocean from the west balcony of the main house. The east balcony has a mountain view. The two rooms are open only from April 15 to November 15, every year. Exception to this rule may be negotiated.

Please note that the 2-bedroom beach house with the panoramic view of the western Marinduque sea is open whole year round.

Welcome to Marinduque and hope to see you soon! David
