Best Place to stay in Malapascua”
We absolutely loved this place! We had a beautiful and perfectly clean room on the second floor with a wonderful view of the garden. It is perfectly located near all the restaurants and the beach. Although the beach in front of the ocean vida(sister hotel) is full of boats parked in front and the beach is covered in seaweed. However staff from buena vida drove us to the North Beach which is super nice! Breakfast is delicious and healthy and every night we a little treat was waiting for us in our room. The jacuzzi is wonderful option if you want to skip the beach. The most outstanding though is the staff! Lorenza teaches a wonderful yoga class and is always there to help you. Manali at the reception always welcomes you with a smile and is prompt to help you! Rechelle did my nails a Christine a wonderful massage! Thanks buena vida for a wonderful stay!

Holidays for relaxing ”
Thanks to all the staff who made us feel very welcome. Not often had met such heart welcoming staff. Especially Frida was so nice. The breakfast was incredible great and was every day served at the own terrace in front of your room. Very, very clean. Yes, there was a big party and it was loud. But there had been "ohropax" complimentary for us with an lovely sorry letter. After the fiesta (a few days later), sleeping was absolutely no problem. They also offer a pic up from Cebu. This was so great, everything worked very well. We liked it a lot and hopefully we will manage to come back.

Relaxing place”
I have been to different places in the Philippines, but this is the place where I experienced the best massage in my entire life(so far). The breakfast(chef's choice) is amazing, its like it is the only meal you will need for the day. The food during our candlelit dinner is delizioso(mixed seafood is our main course)! The bed is comfortable, the A/C is freakin cold(we love it). The whole place is relaxing/quiet and rejuvenating, the staff are very accommodating and attentive. Check-in and check-out is fast and smooth. Ok, I will stop here. One last word, I would definitely recommend this place.

Our Best Ever Travel Experience in The Philippines!”
I had the pleasure and privilege to spend my girlfriend's birthday at Buena Vida Resort & Spa and I have no words to clearly express my gratitude and thankfulness with Lorenza and all the Staff. They were very accommodating, kind, friendly and never got a "No" or "Maybe" as an answer. They made my girlfriend feel at home (Colombia) The room was lovely decorated with Flowers, Balloons, Fabulous Smell, and Clean. We had a romantic tour around the island waiting for the sunset. After it the best massage I have ever received so far (I normally have massages twice a month), and the best was yet to come, they exclusively cooked Colombian food (Bandeja Paisa) and even reserved the Jacuzzi just for us. Wow! I love this place and we will go back soon! Thank you so much!!!! I Love You Guys!

A gem of a hotel in Malapascua Island!”
Buena Vida was breathtaking - from the rooms to the lobby and everything in between. An absolute paradise. The spa is an excellent way to treat yourself, with superb massages from trained professionals. The entire staff is friendly and hospitable, going above and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant stay. The location is also great, only a few minutes walk to the beach or market where you can discover delicious Filipino meals. I could not have chosen more perfect accomodations. I highly recommend staying at Buena Vida Resort and Spa!

We enjoyed our stay at Bueva Vida Resort and Spa very much. Staff were helpful and friendly. The resort is beautiful and the room has a nice taste and very relaxing. I also enjoyed a massage and yoga sessions there. There were some construction/maintenance work while we were there and it could be noisy during evening/night but it was understandable as they had big damages from cyclone in December. The staff and divemaster in the diving shop Sea Explorer were great too. I would love to go back to Malapascua Island and this resort again. Thank you.

The aroma as you get in the resort is so relaxing, the breakfast was excellent a lot to choice for.”
The room was great but there is so much mosquitos outside especially around 4 to 5pm but glad they have "Baygon" to make mosquitos go away. The owner and management did a great job to make the travellers feel special coz they have this cookies every night send to your room and have a little note and for me thats was amazing. Little things that makes my heart full of happiness. Overall the resort is great and I will book again when going back.

Buena Vida is a nice place to live, the room is clean and beautiful. The staff there are very kind and helpful. It is a pity the breakfast is not very good and it is a little far from the beach.

MUST STAY!! ”
The Buena Vida resort is beautiful! Lorenza is awesome and very accommodating and so are the rest of the staff! If you want a very relaxing stay, this is the place to book. It's only about 3mins away from the beach front and we don't like being near the party scene so the location is just right! ❤️

Good overall”
Hotel is centrally located close to the beach and restaurants. It’s located at the end of a dirt road, non beach front facing but good for a quiet stay with garden views. Water from tap is salty but it’s as having read reviews. Breakfast spread is limited and definitely can be improved
