“I wouldn’t recommend this property even to my worst enemy”
NOTHING. Worst experience ever. Staff is terrible. DONT TRUST THE PAYMENT POLICY EITHER. They announce the payment is in advance, but later they make you pay at the property with a fee of 5%. They even call the tourist police. The woman in the counter is very arrogant. She start shouting at us in front of everyone. Don’t dive here, Atlas divers are the cheapest ones and with good equipment. Rooms are full of ants. Pool is dirty. Shower has no pressure (if you have long hair, you won’t be able to have a proper shower)

“Nice hotel, shame about the surrounding noise.”
The room was a decent size and nice bamboo effects, there was good shelfing space, the bathroom was a decent size, could have been cleaner. It was a nice touch to get shampoo and toothpaste sachets. The fan was good and strong, sufficient workout air con.

“Lovely leafy resort”
Quite large leafy resort with a swimming pool. I booked a dorm but was on my own as it was low season, so they kindly put me in double room.

“Good hostel overall”
The private room was confortable, the pool was nice (but hot) and the location was perfect, just a couple of steps away from the beach and the bars.

“A perfect stay in Malapascua”
This has to be one of the best value options in Malapascua. Good size room and bathroom with comfortable bed. On site dive shop. A short stroll from Bounty Beach and the port. Plenty of great value places to eat and drink nearby. Lovely staff always on hand and ready to help or offer advice where needed. If all that is not enough there is also a swimming pool. The dive shop merits a special mention - fantastic value and great staff offering a thoroughly professional service. They are able to help ensure you see everything worth seeing in the seas around the island.
