The Refugio Marnes guestbook contains the comments of visitors who have stayed in either La Ruina or La Jaima. They are reproduced to provide future visitors with additional independant information. Each comment provides a unique and original perspective on this wonderful holiday location.

The guestbook itself can be viewed by any visitor and at the end of their stay with us, all guests are invited to enter their comments in the book. These comments may then be reproduced on this web page which will be updated on a regular basis.
 

The Noisy world is still at bay
Amongst this ancient terraced hills
An Ancient land in flowered May

Is still untouched by human ills,
But even in spring the skies are sometimes grey
As clouds well up above the human mills
And thoughtless go their heavy humorless way
Bearing the weight of countless human wills

Will this last this calm, this peace?
Will the spoilers finally see the light?
Ore will the ruination of spring increase
As hordes of aimless armies bring blight on blight
Complacent dreams bring instant release
From agonized doubt and clear eyed fright
But to live is to hope and hope will not cease

Before May flowers curl in perpetual night
