Malapascua Beach and Dive Resort♡

Convenient, budget friendly accommodation.

6.0

The place is conveniently located in front of a beach. Nobody really uses that beach for sunbathing or swimming as there are always tons of boats in front, but is convenient for departure to scuba diving trips. The staff was very nice.

− There was supposed to be a pool, but it was dirty, seemingly closed without any saying so. The rooms were super basic. Mattress was very springy and when one moves the whole bed moves a lot which woke me frequently.

Excellent location, but can't recommend it as there are too many issues

5.0

Excellent location, maybe one of the best locations for a resort on Malapascua. Wi-Fi was good when outside, but doesn't make it through the room walls. Pizza at the restaurant is good, but it's only available at dinner time.

− This is one of the most frustrating places that I've ever stayed. I rated it a 5, but it could easily be an 8. It seems like the staff and management have given up on it and don't want to put the effort into bringing it up to standard. Some examples are below, but it's not a complete list. Cleanliness: The balcony wasn't clean when we arrived. The floor was covered in sand and a pile of some girl's hair. We had to get a broom and sweep it ourselves. There was also a huge spider web on the balcony with a 4-5cm spider living on it. Three times we put out the notice on the door knob asking for a room cleaning, and it wasn't cleaned. They do not clean the rooms on their own and do not check for the door knob thing that they supply. The 3 times our room was cleaned in the 6 nights we stayed there we had to find a staff member and ask them to clean it for us. Facilities: There is no safe storage provided, so you have to leave your items vulnerable in the room or take them with you. Some rooms had a clothesline outside, but ours didn't and we had to ask for one. There is no cup in the bathroom for toothbrushes. There is no towel rack in the room despite having plenty of wall space to add one. The water pressure in the shower is barely useable. The lock for the balcony door doesn't have a key provided, so we had to push the wardrobe in front of it when we left and move it away again when we get back like it's an old Resident Evil game. The bathroom window doesn't have a screen, so you can open it for ventilation but then bugs can get in. No mat was provided to wipe the sand off of our feet at the entrance. No garbage can was provided for the room except for the toilet paper bin which comes with a tiny little plastic bag in it, wasting most of its capacity. The light on the balcony is broken.

We liked the location very much, super central, close to every dive center and they have a nice restaurant and good Pizza.

− The internet really doesn't work, if you need it just buy a sim card beforehand. The water in the showerhead is also very thin and the bedroom is a bit cramped.

Nice stay on lovely island

Nice beds in the room, hot water and a pool. Wonderful food and drinks in the restaurant. Staff helpfull and friendly

− We missed a table in our room between the beds. There were just two large beds. No wifi in the room. Aircon very noisy. There is a lot of maintanance to do if you walk past to the back rooms, a lot of rubbish under the pool and broken poolbeds.
