Slam's Garden Dive Resort

Slam's Garden Dive Resort

📍 Malapascua Island, Barangay Logon, Daan-Bantayan Malapascua, Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.5 (63 reviews)

"I loved the pool, and the food was great. I am not a big fan of their breakfast, but I highly recommend their vegetable and mushroom or chicken and vegetable fried rice. The price was reasonable too. The location is quieter than other places I have stayed or came upon. It is far away from karaoke shops so you don't hear much singing than other places. The room was decent and clean, even though the bathroom could be bigger with better water pressure. Overall, I would like to stay here again."

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort

📍 Malapascua Island, Bounty Beach, Daanbantayan
★★★ 9.4 (53 reviews)

"Everything was incredible, the director was lovely, the staff was attentive, the food was very good, the beach area was a dream... wonderful."

Tepanee Beach Resort

Tepanee Beach Resort

📍 Malapascua, Daanbantayan
★★★ 9.3 (72 reviews)

"We loved this hotel as the location is beautiful with a fantastic view over the blue sea and the clear water. The little beach is protected which means, you can only go to sea for snorcheling which is fantastic as this hotel makes a big contribution to keep the seaworld as much protected as possible. Who does not like this or wants a place to swim and play in the water should choose another ressort. The rooms are beautiful and the food in both restaurants are delicious with a fantastic Italian focus. The manager Andrea is always there and you can see that he is putting all his effort in this wonderful resort. We had two dinners at the restaurant and really had excellent dishes. We will come back!"

Blue Corals Beach Resort

Blue Corals Beach Resort

📍 84G7+MFX, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.0 (30 reviews)

"One of the worst places I’ve stayed. Stained sheets, bugs all over the place. Broken Fixtures and fittings, very little storage room, shower that sprayed needles of water in lots of different directions. Seemingly incompetent staff who handed out rooms without first checking bookings meaning we couldn’t get in the room we booked and paid for. Management seemed uninterested in sorting it and gave the burden of responsibility to the receptionist who came to the reception when called by manager in night attire. We had to ask for a 2nd bedsheet in order we could both be covered at the same time during the uncomfortable nights sleep. We moved out into a different hotel after staying only 1 night. For balance, I expect this room would suffice for a few nights if you were a single backpacker looking for shelter on a budget"

Golden Sands Destination Resorts

Golden Sands Destination Resorts

📍 Sitio Suba, Baranggay Maya Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.7 (12 reviews)

"The boat to Mama Island was temporarily closed, and this is the only hotel near the pier that can be booked Most of the people in the resort hotels are locals. There are not many choices for food. The taste is OK but the price is a bit high. Take a tutu to Maya Pier for 100 per person. The facilities are relatively old, and the air conditioner is manual, hahaha"

Mandala Beach Cebu by Hiverooms

Mandala Beach Cebu by Hiverooms

📍 Bakhawan, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.0 (6 reviews)

"The rooms were dirty and full of mosquitoes, there was hair in the bathroom, and you could hear a lot of noise from the rooms next door, it smelled damp and it has closed, choose another hotel to stay at because this one is not worth it at all, if you book here you will regret it"

Buena Vida Resort and Spa

Buena Vida Resort and Spa

📍 Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 9.3 (38 reviews)

"The hotel 'Buena Vida' is a few minutes' walk from the beach, but works closely with other establishments right on the beach. For example, you can have breakfast at the 'Ocean Vida' by the beach. The hotel is clean, has a small spa and a small gym. The staff is nice. There is a great Crossfit box near the hotel. There are several diving schools right on the beach, including the Sea Explorers. A really great diving school where we did several dives."

Angelina Beach Resort & Italian Restaurant Malapascua Hotels in Daanbantayan

Angelina Beach Resort & Italian Restaurant Malapascua

"Location: 4min from the main Pier facing north. Nothing asked of them was a problem, smiles and prompt service! Room large, cool air con, functional large bathroom. morning and afternoon sun to dry diving things. Restaurant has a massive pizza oven and they were perfect, everyday at least one :) Angelina staff are all professional filipinas doing their best to help. We asked for private car CEBU-Maya Port and then private boat - just for us :) Van was huge, comfortable and it takes 3hrs off peak traffic. 5min walk to white-beach (south beach) and walk along till it then veers north passing by empty resorts (24-29Sept) which was perfect for us with hardly any visitors. 40min walk to North Beach - nice & relax pace and good to see local's life, school, and forgotten Resorts....! North Beach is paradise - we snorkelled around rock point from a derelict Resort....so sad to see what Covid has done to businesses around the world!! Angelina staff - THANK YOU !"

Golden Sands Destination Resorts ★★★
"The area itself was gorgeous. It is far from the other islands where you would normally find other amenities, but this hotel does offer some. The shower, on the other hand, had nats flying around the bathroom, which was disappointing. The staff was very nice and helpful, considering."

"This is a great location if you want to chill out. There are no roosters, and the road noise isn't too bad. But you need to go to the town to eat. It looks like it hasn't been finished because the room has good fixtures but needs a cupboard and hot water (it wasn't too cold ) The service was helpful. ."

Buena Vida Resort and Spa ★★★
"We stayed at BV for about 7 nights (end of Oct. 2023) with a group of divers, discovering malapascua. I had a double room on the 1. floor with my girlfriend and it was really nice. Everything was clean, nicely decorated and there was truly enough space for our staff also in the bathroom. Our highlight was the huge balcony with a view into the beautiful tropical garden of the Buena Vida. The service was perfect and the stuff were always friendly and helpful: Carrying the luggage, beach towels, small sweets with some greetings every evening 😋, minibar with regular and fair prices, amazing massages (also to good prices), arranging transfers, … We would love to come back again!!!"

Malapascua Garden Resort ★★★
"It was First visit in Malapascua and i was not familiar with the place and choosing a place to stay was tricky and i just randomly selected this property based on the pictures online and reviews were limited. This place is basic, simple and decent. I really felt the Malapascua community vibe. Room was very spacious and clean. I really had a comfortable stay. Resort people were very friendly special mention to Ms. Anne who assisted me with the check in and check out. She was very kind and gave me information about the place, especially about money/cash option as the ATM in the island were not working during my stay. The resort is walking distance to/from the port and also to the bounty beach. Might be confusing as there are a lot of small alleys. There are signages and directions going to the resort posted on some areas. I really like the simplicity of this accommodation. Not fancy, not trying to be different but more of giving the local community vibe."
