the
KALAMAYAN INN
UNEDITED COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS
From MIke USA November 2000
Hey I just wanted to drop you a note
and say thank you for all the effort
you gave in planning our recent trip to the Philippines.
Our stay at your
Inn was very nice and we had a great time diving with
Dive Right. All of
your staff at the inn was very fun and provided great
service, especially the
two girls who work the bar and restaurant. The
food was also very tasty,
enjoyed the calamari. We got out on the night of
the 2nd on a 5pm Sea Air
flight back to Manila because the change in the Asian
Spirit time from 8:45am
to 1pm made our Sunday the 3rd plan to hard to do.
All in all it was a great
trip with lots of fun memories. See you again in
a year or so, and I'll pass
on the word to anyone I know looking to travel to the
Philippines for diving.

Yours truly Gil
... for coming through with a better-than-planned
vacation for us.
Everything was as you promised,
and the addition of the visit to
Shambala was the icing on the cake.
See you again next year!

Dear Harry and Josie,
My wife and I really enjoyed our
stay at the Kalamayan Inn. We were only able to stay 1 night since
my lovely wife desired to stay in lodging overlooking the water.
However, we patronized your restaurant every day for meals and fresh buko.
Your place was the only place to serve fresh buko! On several occassions,
we purchased fresh sea food at the market such as crabs and had your kitchen
staff prepare them for
us. Your staff was incredible
and very friendly. When my brother in law arrived we also took him
and his wife there for dinner.
We also met another couple on Jeep ride over to your inn that happens to live less than 1 mile from us in Fremont, CA. Small world! They too found your inn on the internet.
Jose', the banca driver whom we
met at your place also took us out for a 1 day excursion. He was
an excellent boatman and his assistant Johnny was a professional fisherman.
Between Jose', Johnny, my wife Idy, her brother Raymond, and Rima, we caught
more fish than we could eat! Another banca driver by the name of
Edmund was our host for 1 day. He was the friendliest of banca drivers.
He prepared fresh roasted
fish for us as well as acted as
our personal tour guide to some remote lakes on Coron Island.
Thanks for making our stay in Coron so pleasurable! We only wish that we could have met you Harry! Josie was the most excellent host. She has charm and wit.
Regards,
Mark & Idy
Fremont, CA
Many thanks to you and Josie for
arranging a great weekend for Gunter and
me. Everything went very smoothly
and it was all most enjoyable. We both
managed to pass on both courses
so overall it was a great success.
I now realise what I have been missing
by delaying a Coron trip for the
last couple of years (or more).
Certainly, I intend returning before the
end of the year and I'll spread
the word round other ADB divers about who
to contact for a great weekend.
Thanks again and hope to see you soon,
Nigel

Harry: Thanks so much for
all your help arranging this; the information, daily e-mails,
package price and all the help
with airline ticketing, reservations and a map, not
to mention arranging for it to
be at the Mercure Phillipine Hotel when we arrive.
I really appreciate all the
help and would like to buy you a few rounds, not to
mention a gratuity for all you
have done. Looking forward to meeting you in person.
Bob
It's been awhile. I have been home
for over two weeks again.
Just want to send my regards and
THANK YOU again for your assistance in my
recent Palawan trip. Everything
worked out great. We had a super time -
very relaxing - on the Esperanza,
Coron was cute and the Kalamayan nice.
Also all arrangements in Manila,
Hotel, xfers etc. worked out.
There was ONE problem we BOTH forgot.
You did ORDER any wind for us! :-))
We had the sails up ONCE, the rest
we motored around! Next time, put that
into your TO DO LIST !!!
