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!"

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort

📍 Malapascua Island, Bounty Beach, Daanbantayan
★★★ 9.4 (54 reviews)

"Everything was incredible, the director was lovely, the staff was attentive, the food was very good, the beach area was a dream... wonderful."

Golden Sands Destination Resorts

Golden Sands Destination Resorts

📍 Sitio Suba, Baranggay Maya Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.6 (12 reviews)

"The boat to Mama Island was temporarily closed, and this is the only hotel near the pier that can be booked Most of the people in the resort hotels are locals. There are not many choices for food. The taste is OK but the price is a bit high. Take a tutu to Maya Pier for 100 per person. The facilities are relatively old, and the air conditioner is manual, hahaha"

Blue Corals Beach Resort

Blue Corals Beach Resort

📍 84G7+MFX, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.0 (30 reviews)

"One of the worst places I’ve stayed. Stained sheets, bugs all over the place. Broken Fixtures and fittings, very little storage room, shower that sprayed needles of water in lots of different directions. Seemingly incompetent staff who handed out rooms without first checking bookings meaning we couldn’t get in the room we booked and paid for. Management seemed uninterested in sorting it and gave the burden of responsibility to the receptionist who came to the reception when called by manager in night attire. We had to ask for a 2nd bedsheet in order we could both be covered at the same time during the uncomfortable nights sleep. We moved out into a different hotel after staying only 1 night. For balance, I expect this room would suffice for a few nights if you were a single backpacker looking for shelter on a budget"

Tepanee Beach Resort

Tepanee Beach Resort

📍 Malapascua, Daanbantayan
★★★ 9.3 (73 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!"

Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort

Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort

📍 84HC+HFF Sitio Pasil, Bounty Beachfront, Daanbantayan
★★★ 8.4 (61 reviews)

"The hotel was right on the beach and had a dive shop with a nice restaurant. The room was cute with really nice toiletries and a deck area to sit on. Overall, I enjoyed the stay there. What's not mentioned is that there are no roads going to the hotel, the bikes will only take you half way down an alley but then the sand is too deep for them to travel on. You have to walk through sand for the last 200m to the hotel itself."

Buena Vida Resort and Spa

Buena Vida Resort and Spa

📍 Cebu, Daanbantayan
★★★ 9.3 (38 reviews)

"One block from Bounty Beach, very cozy, bedrooms with terraces. Very "Yoga" style, good vibes, etc. We liked that it has a good gym and also for doing calisthenics. Buffet breakfast included but we had to go to Ocean Vida (3 min walk to Bounty Beach). First breakfast they give us Mango. The key comes with the keychain for the electricity so when you take out the key the bedroom is left without electricity and therefore without AC, but we understood this due to the fact that we are on a smaller island. 24h Loundry 150PHP/Kilo. There are also massages from 600 to 2000 PHP."

Evolution Dive and Beach Resort

"Had a great time diving with Evolution. The dive guides were amazing and the accommodation and food were top tier. Highly recommend them. We saw so many threshers!"

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! "

Slam's Garden Dive Resort ★★★
"I loved the pool, and the food was great. I am not a big fan of their breakfast, but I highly recommend their vegetable and mushroom or chicken and vegetable fried rice. The price was reasonable too. The location is quieter than other places I have stayed or came upon. It is far away from karaoke shops so you don't hear much singing than other places. The room was decent and clean, even though the bathroom could be bigger with better water pressure. Overall, I would like to stay here again."

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort ★★★
"The hotel was above expectations overall. The environment and sanitation were good. There's a beach right at the door and a dive shop next to it. It's probably one of the best hotels in Mama Island. The free half-hour spa experience was great. I'll definitely stay at this hotel next time I go diving in Mama Island."

"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."

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."

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!!!"

Kandaya Resort ★★★★★
"I recently retired from working in the Hospitality Industry and was looking for a place to relax in comfort and peace. The Kandaya Resort is second to none when it comes to overall service and accommodations. The ocean view room was amazing and quiet with incredible views. The food and beverage and service was impeccable at their Restaurant. We had 2 spectacular dinners on the beach in a private setup. All of the staff go above and beyond to insure that your stay is amazing from F&B, Front Desk, HSKP and the amazing staff that care for the animals. A Big Thank you to Milamar, our server at the Restaurant, who always went above and beyond with great service to ensure that we had an amazing experience while staying at the Resort and traveling about in the area. Thank you to the entire Kandaya Team for also making our special occasion a memory we will cherish forever. See you again soon."
