"The greatest of all spiritual practices is to transform love into service."

OUR LOW RATES:
Our room-rates run from 1,000 Pesos per night to 1,600 Pesos per night -- approximately $20 to $33 U.S., depending upon the exchange rate.
These prices are as low as we can make them.
Frankly, if our prices were any lower, we could not cover any meaningful portion of our expenses here regarding such things as the staff -- electricity -- municipal water -- DSL line -- cable TV -- satellite dish -- telephone -- air-conditioning -- maintenance of the facility -- laundry service -- food -- boats -- bicycles -- vans -- motorcycles (we often go riding with our guests when they rent motorcycles in Daanbantayan) -- etc.
In other words, we could not recover enough of our own expenses if we lowered our prices any further, and therefore we would need to close our doors.
Because of
our personal belief in the Golden Rule (i.e. “Do unto
others as you would have them
do unto you.”)
we keep our room-rates as low as
we can – and we offer as many FREE services
as we can.
EACH OF OUR ROOMS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
Air-conditioning -- Cable TV -- free use our wireless DSL internet connection -- free use of our sail-boats for local use -- free use of our bicycles for local use -- free songs in our videoke -- free use of our library -- free use of our excellent beach for swimming and walking -- free use of our tire-inner-tubes for swimming -- and the list goes on. Please see our home page for a list that is more complete.
********************
NOTICE: Most of the hotels where our guests stay in Cebu City
(on the way to our beach resort) charge at least $20. U.S. per night. Of
course, that does NOT include
a good beach for swimming -- and it does
NOT include all of the other things we offer here for free.
Frankly, we always try to offer our guests the best value for the least
amount of money.
It costs much less to stay at Skip's Beach Resort than it costs to live in a dumpy apartment in most American cities -- especially considering the high costs in America of such things as electricity, water, cable TV, food, transportation, laundry, etc. Therefore, many of our guests stay here for months at a time -- and they return often. We love it.

OUR "THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY" ARE AS FOLLOWS...
"We should become a solution to the world's immense and
protracted suffering, rather than continuing
to be part of the cause."

"Those
who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation usually realize that
involving that
nation in a war is the surest and fastest way to accomplish their goal."

"A nation or person which prefers
to live with the loss of freedom rather than to live with some
danger is ready to be enslaved and
deserves it":
