We enjoyed our stay here a lot, was in both fan room and then bp accommodation because we extended. The hotel area was nice, wifi, computer and pool table. The owner was always around and helped with everything we needed. Would stay here again, recommend it for those who are on a budget.

Terrible service w/ unexperienced diving guide

swimming pool but didn't see them change water
4.7
In the middle of the village with roosters screaming 24h per day! Staff tend to forget your request even after several times being asked. Unexperienced guide with no intention to look for things for divers, and no knowledge of finding things in the water. Long faced owner who never sincerely smiled nor talked with us. Told us off to other diving shops when receiving complaint! Tried to bribe us for good evaluations on agoda with two coconuts that were actually dropped from the tree! They are a joke!

Great Service

Their food is amazing

What can I say about this place. When we first arrived we had been on a bus for almost 5 hours and hadn't slept for 29 hour. Needless to say we were extremely tired. We arrived at 9am and were dreading waiting until 2pm to check in. When we got to the hotel we were greeted by the receptions then by Chuck the owner and they allowed us to check in at 9. We were so greatful for this since we where so tired. It was great staying here the staff is very nice and accommodating. The rooms are nice and clean. Their food is amazing, they bake all their bread there, it really good. The staff makes you feel like you are an old friend. what ever you need they are there to help. The bar is great specially during happy hour. If you are a diver this is the best place to stay. They have so many instructors and they all speak different languages. We had a great experience diving with them and obtaining our open water certification.
Hotel Feature Tip: Best place to dive with.

Restless nights

Place for party people.
5.7
Resort is located next to small roads so there's motorsycles going and a lot of roosters making noice. Also during christmas the locals had a party everynight untill 4am next to the hotel so it was nearly impossible to sleep there even with earplugs. But if you're into partying this is a good place to come, otherwise choose something closer to the beach.

Malapascua is for Scuba Diving!

Swimming Pool
7.3
We booked mainly because of the pool, and it was nice when the sun was out. If you want the beach it's only a 5 minute walk to Bounty beach. Our Pool View Fan room was a good size and had a balcony. Some of the staff from the dive shop we met were great and super friendly. If you are going to Malapascua, you should be going for the diving (it's really good), and other than the diving there's not much else. Purple Snapper also has some cheap "backpacker rooms" with shared bathroom, which you might not find on Agoda.
Restaurant Tip: Check out happy hour in the hotel for 2 for 1 drinks (including beer!). If you are looking for a good local meal, that's great priced, walk west 5 minutes to Ging Ging's.

Brilliant place

Good value and very friendly place

We initially stayed for 2 nights and intended to find a beach location hotel. We ended up staying for 7 nights and enjoyed the stay. Even though the hotel is not new it is maintained well. The staff especially the owner makes a big difference and tries to help out in any way. Our kids loved the pool (only 2 options on Malapascua) and beach is only a 5 min walk through the local village. Big recommendation from us!!!!
