TO SET PROPER EXPECTATIONS, IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTICE FOR YOUR STAY:

Guest suite MARS offers a HOME STAY (we do not act as a hotel) and the experience is all about local charm and authentic experience. We do our best to make your stay relaxing, memorable, and worry-free and we are proud we can offer this great experience to our guests.

Guest suite MARS is located within the St. JOHNNY VILLAS compound, which is a HILLSIDE PROPERTY. To reach the suite, guests must climb approximately 220 steps up. While the stairs may be considered steeper than regular stairs and require some effort, the reward is a breathtaking ocean view that makes the climb well worth it.
💡Good news: There’s a luggage lift for your luggage, so you only need to carry up yourself - not your bags - and our house manager Ric will be assisting you on arrival and departure.

AIR-CONDITIONER (AC) is located in the bedroom, living area is equipped with ceiling fan for airflow.

WATER SUPPLY
Shower water temperature is pre-set to a medium warm level (no separate hot and cold adjustment).
Bathroom and kitchen tap water is on room temperature (no separate hot and cold adjustment), which is a standard setup in homes throughout the island and sufficient for basic hygiene and washing dishes using dishwashing liquid.
Since we are a hillside property and our water supply depends on water pump, occasionally water pressure may fluctuate.

COMPLIMENTARY ESSENTIALS
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand wash, dish wash, toilet paper (2 rolls), kitchen paper (1 roll), drinking water (6.6 liters). If you require additional during your stay, they are available at the following rates:
• Toilet paper: PHP 40 per roll
• Kitchen paper: PHP 100 per roll
• Drinking water: PHP 100 for 6.6 liters

HOUSEKEEPING is available on request. There is an extra fee of PHP 300 for change of bed linens.

🌿 NATURE & ENVIRONMENT:
Guest suite MARS is located privately within a peaceful hillside compound, surrounded by lush local nature.
You may expect to enjoy sounds of nature: birds singing, crickets chirping, geckos and frogs croaking.
Although located privately on the hillside, we can not entirely escape the background noises, such as roosters crowing or dogs barking in the distance or our local people enjoying themselves at their homes with occasional loud music or singing karaoke. It is all part of the island living and local lifestyle. Please be aware that from time to time some neighbourhood noises and occasional parties beyond our control may disrupt the tranquility of the surroundings.

Due to our tropical surroundings and somewhat open concept of the suite, there is a high chance you may spot small 🦎 geckos, lizards or insects, that have found their way inside the suite - these small creatures are a natural part of island life and common across tropical homes even in well-maintained properties unavoidable. Their presence may occasionally lead to light debris on the floor or other surfaces.
Therefore LIGHT DAILY UPKEEP of the suite is to be expected, and housekeeping is available upon request to keep the space fresh and comfortable.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
🔥 Hot Months: April, May, and June tend to be very hot.
🌧️ Rainy/Typhoon Season: June to October is characterised by frequent rainy and typhoon conditions.
During rainy season be aware of more mosquitos all around (mosquito repellent helps keeping them away).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT POWER OUTAGES (BROWN OUTS)
Boracay Island experiences occasional power outages, known locally as brown outs. These occur island-wide and affect all properties, not just ours. Unfortunately, we have no control over the power supply, and like all residents, we do our best to adapt when outages happen.

What to Expect During a Brown Out:
• During brown outs we will operate a small back-up generator.
• Since our generator is not automatic and needs to be started manually, please allow us a reaction time, during which there will be no electricity and no water supply, as our hillside property relies on an electric pump.
• Generator use will be coordinated with you. That means when you leave the house, the generator will be switched off to save fuel and started again when you return.

We appreciate your respect for the local environment and the unique natural charm that comes with staying in the hills of Boracay!
