Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort
8.2 (64 reviews)

Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort ★★★

📍 84HC+HFF Sitio Pasil, Bounty Beachfront, Daanbantayan

"Resort is far away for the airport. Otherwise it’s worthy."

Golden Sands Destination Resorts
8.7 (12 reviews)

Golden Sands Destination Resorts ★★★

📍 Sitio Suba, Baranggay Maya Cebu, Daanbantayan

"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
8.0 (30 reviews)

Blue Corals Beach Resort ★★★

📍 84G7+MFX, Daanbantayan

"Pros: The property is located very near the port (5min walk). It is also situated at the beach front, near restaurants. Cons: 1. It’s old. Though old, it could have been better if cleanliness is maintained 2. The staff are not so warm and welcoming. 3. The water in the shower is a bit salty. Seems like the water coming out of the faucet is from the ocean :) Hope the management will clean the property well. It really has a good potential considering the location."

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort
9.4 (54 reviews)

Ocean Vida Beach and Dive Resort ★★★

📍 Malapascua Island, Bounty Beach, Daanbantayan

"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."

Tepanee Beach Resort
9.3 (72 reviews)

Tepanee Beach Resort ★★★

📍 Malapascua, Daanbantayan

"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."

Mandala Beach Cebu by Hiverooms
8.0 (6 reviews)

Mandala Beach Cebu by Hiverooms ★★★

📍 Bakhawan, Daanbantayan

"nice place. great beach and amenities. worth the price"

Slam's Garden Dive Resort
8.5 (64 reviews)

Slam's Garden Dive Resort ★★★

📍 Malapascua Island, Barangay Logon, Daan-Bantayan Malapascua, Cebu, Daanbantayan

"great place with a pool, perfect for a soak after a long day of diving. however, the cleanliness could be improved considering the price we paid."

Buena Vida Resort and Spa
9.2 (38 reviews)

Buena Vida Resort and Spa ★★★

📍 Cebu, Daanbantayan

"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
8.3 (7 reviews)

Malapascua Garden Resort ★★★

📍 Logon, Malapascua, Cebu, Daanbantayan

"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."

Golden Sands Destination Resorts ★★★
"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...."

Blue Corals Beach Resort ★★★
"For my money, Blue Corals is the best value on Malapascua Island. The staff are amazing and even gave me a free upgrade to a room with a private balcony with a ocean view. The Mango Pancakes at breakfast Time are to die for, my one and only complaint is it seems the island shuts down around 8pm and their is nothing really to do."

Tepanee Beach Resort ★★★
"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!"

Mandala Beach Cebu by Hiverooms ★★★
"I liked it. The only downside is there's no soap or shampoo, so I washed with my own. The place is beautiful. But when the tide is high, there's not much space to sunbathe on the beach. The host is very responsive! They cook food and have alcohol. The view from the window is amazing 🔥 Thank you for your hospitality!"

Buena Vida Resort and Spa ★★★
"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."
