Slam's Garden Dive Resort

Slam's Garden Dive Resort

📍 Malapascua Island, Barangay Logon, Daan-Bantayan Malapascua, Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.5 (64 reviews)

"Overall  ok stay, the staff were super kind there was a couple problems with the problem but they were quick to fix! Pool is nice, and location is great. One thing that really annoyed me is that because we didn’t book the diving with the resort (we didn’t know prior to booking that the resort was a diving resort) they wouldn’t make our breakfast early like the other guests had. Literally other guests were picking their breakfast for a 4am start I thought great! I’ll do the same, and then the dive coordinator Santiago was incredibly rude, and declined as if he was running the place. Very rude, I wouldn’t even consider booking a diving trip with this resort because of this man! Zero customer service or friendliness which is a shame because the local staff were so nice!"

"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!"

Golden Sands Destination Resorts

Golden Sands Destination Resorts

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

"We had a grand time celebrating Christmas at this resort. We stayed at their A-frame house which was quite a distance from the restaurant, but distance is not a concern though because the resort is surrounded by trees that one won't mind taking a leisurely walk. Also, if one is not so into walking or a senior/pwd like me, a shuttle or a tuktuk (tricycle) is readily available to bring you anywhere within the resort. You'll never get bored staying here as there's a number of activities you can enjoy like the kayaking, pedal boating, fish feeding, cycling, playing billiards and they also have playground for kids. The beach was nice, though we didn't enjoy it that much because of the big waves during that time. They also have swimming pools. Also, i love their gazebo by the beach, where you can enjoy your meal while enjoying the sea breeze. The staff are well-trained, best customer service, courteous, friendly, prompt, professional and most importantly - smiling. The downside though was the airconditioning problem at the loft on our first night, so we have to transfer to the house next door. No big deal for me. Kudos to the staff and management of the Golden Sands Destination Resorts! Thank you for accommodating us! Till next time... in the near future...."

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."

Malapascua Garden Resort

Malapascua Garden Resort

📍 Logon, Malapascua, Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.3 (7 reviews)

"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."

Mabuhay Thresher Dive Resort Hotels in Daanbantayan

Mabuhay Thresher Dive Resort

"Awful place to be in! By far, THE WORST hotel I have ever stayed in. I give credit to where it's due, so here are my thoughts about this property. Pros: - beachfront - affordable room with AC - each room has a terrace Cons: - the male owner EAVESDROPPED in our conversation and made unnecessary comments. He is renowned on the island for being UNKIND. Yes, you may own the hotel, but you DO NOT OWN the beach! - small rooms, really cramped, and outdated is an understatement - ugh, don't let me start with the bathrooms We are respectful travelers and we have no idea how our stay here ended on such a sour note. This place does NOT deserve anything. Thinking about our experience just makes me feel angry. NEVER AGAIN! "

Evolution Dive and Beach Resort Hotels in Daanbantayan

Evolution Dive and Beach Resort

"What an amazing experience. The sense of calm, the closeness to the sea, the service, and the food — everything exceeded expectations. We had a wonderful time on the beach just steps from the ocean. The rooms were simple yet comfortable, and the views were stunning. The hotel was quiet and peaceful, with a warm, family-like atmosphere and more staff than guests. Everyone working there was friendly and genuinely service-minded. Every morning, we were greeted with happy smiles and welcomed by name, which made us feel truly cared for. The diving and the organization around it were world-class. The dives with the thresher sharks were especially magical and very well arranged. Early mornings were required, but it meant being first on site and having the incredible opportunity to watch these beautiful and majestic sharks glide into the cleaning station. We were unlucky and lost our luggage for almost an entire week. The reception staff helped us with all the contact with the airport and did everything they could to support us. My husband had packed his contact lenses and medication in the checked bag, and the staff went above and beyond to help us. They even managed to arrange similar contact lenses with almost the exact prescription he needed. They also organized for a representative to travel all the way to Cebu and back on our behalf — a four-hour journey each way. We are so grateful for everything and will give the very best recommendations whenever possible. Thank you for everything! Veronica with family"

Tepanee Beach Resort ★★★
"We had an amazing time at Tepanee Beach Resort. The location is perfect and you can go snorkeling with the baby black tip reef sharks every day. The rooms are beautiful and we had a great view of the ocean from our balcony. Breakfast was good and the days we had to leave early for diving, they packed us breakfast to go. The staff was friendly and helpful and there are many cats and dogs on the premises to keep ypu company while ypu relax on the sun beds. Amihan restaurant is definitely the best on the island for dinner. If we ever go back to Malapascua, we will stay here again."

Blue Corals Beach Resort ★★★
"Amazing location right next to the beach, spacious balcony (with a line to hang wet clothes) overlooking beach on either west or east side. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. No WiFi in the room available though, have to go reception area for WiFi. The room is clean but I did find two cockroaches (one of those damaged the O-rings on my diving flashlight when it was drying overnight) and there were ants on the balcony and bathroom too. There was no big bucket to soak swimming/diving equipment that many other hotels provide, you can use the ones at dive shops but I would prefer if there was bucket big enough to put camera/computer/mask/clothes etc in and soak it in warm water for an hour. Overall it's good value for the price."

"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!!!"

"Very basic stay if you’re not fussy. Not the best, but not the worst too. We had toilet clogs for most of the trip, so do be careful. Location is good because right outside the accommodation, there’s a lot of food and only 5 minutes or less walk from the port."
