Tepanee Beach Resort

We stayed at Tepanee beach for a week. We didn't want to leave anymore. The owners, Silvia and Andrea, in addition to being extremely pleasant people to converse with, have created a small paradise in Malapascua, with a keen eye on good food, the peaceful atmosphere of the environment and respect for the nature in which they have invested lots of energy. At Tepanee you will find all the elements to be able to relax without getting bored, to rediscover yourself in nature, in slowness and attention to small details, including a small multilingual library from which to draw wonderful stories! A warm hug, we will definitely see each other again

The Tepanee Resort can actually be recommended: - simple but clean rooms. Unfortunately, they are a bit noisy and you just have to be lucky with the award. There are bungalows whose terraces are completely on the path with no view - which, in contrast to others, just seems a shame. - a simple breakfast buffet, which unfortunately is only offered from 8:00 a.m. and is therefore wasted money for active divers who are already on the boat. The Filipino dishes here are often good, but the fruit and vegetables are very carelessly prepared. Even if asked, nothing can be prepared here. I would be happy to recommend the resort, especially because of the great location, because it is located on a very beautiful and protected bay that is bursting with biodiversity and offers a retreat for young black tip reef sharks. But here comes the but: - the price for the rooms is too high - The bay is controlled by the owner and staff and care is taken to ensure that snorkelers behave well. What sounds good in itself, however, degenerates into the fact that there is often shouting, whistling and megaphone talking across the bay. An absolutely absurd situation in which the owner of the resort apparently doesn't find any solutions to help beginners in snorkeling who are in trouble (e.g. with floating rings that they can use to adjust the mask/the concrete blocks are already on the ground) - but only in a very disgusting way. There was even shouting back and forth in the bay from snorkelers and owners. Simply unpleasant. My tip: Get a cheap hotel and pay the 200php entrance fee to snorkel on site in the bay. The bay is worth it, but the hotel is not worth it.
