We specifically visited Malapascua to dive with the thresher sharks — which was outstanding — but we were pleasantly rewarded with an amazing stay at Ocean Vida. The staff, food, bar, room, and dive center were all excellent and it was one of the highlights of our travels in the Philippines. Our fabulous bartender, Grace, was a true standout. The level of service and friendship was amazing, not to mention the best cocktails we’ve had in our month in the Philippines. We have no hesitation recommending a stay at Ocean Vida to any divers out there. PS - did we mention diving with the thresher sharks was an incredible experience? Don’t hesitate - book.

Due to a last minute decision, to sqeeze in a few nights at Malapascua Island, the better hotels like Tepanee were already booked out. Pro: + top location at the cliffs at western end of Bounty Beach, just a few minutes walk away from the restaurants + friendly and helpful staff + spacious Deluxe Suite w/ ocean view, overlooking the entire Bounty Beach while sitting on the balcony + fair room rates + arrangement of private car transfer from/to Cebu Airport on request was reliable and at a very reasonable rate +/- simple but ok breakfast Underwhelming: - very sp****ly furnitured ”Deluxe” suite - not bedside lamps and tables, not bedside light switch, no amenities other than a little shampoo bag and 2 t-paper rolls, kind of careless - bathroom wasn't clean at arrival, crooked bathroom door hinge. Bathroom door cold only be closed by application of force - during low tide very shallow, not swimmable beach Not the fault of the owner is a misleading foto, posted by a fellow traveller, that shows a swimming pool, which looks very nice. The only problem is, that it is from whatever Blue Corals Hotels elsewhere on the planet. But defo not from Blue Corals Malapascua, which neither has a pool, nor pretends to have one. I got trapped by this foto, too. Bottom line: Hotel ok for 3-5 nights, when the price is right, but not sure if I would book again.

Das Tepanee Resort kann eigentlich weiter empfohlen werden: - schlichte aber saubere Zimmer. Leider sind sie etwas hellhörig und man muss einfach Glück haben mit der Vergabe. Es gibt Bungalows, deren Terrasse komplett auf dem Weg liegen ohne Aussicht - was im Gegensatz zu anderen einfach schade wirkt. - ein schlichtes Frühstücksbufett, was leider erst ab 08:00 Uhr angeboten wird und somit für aktive Taucher, die dann schon auf dem Boot sind, verschenktes Geld ist. Hier sind die filipinischen Gerichte oft gut, das Obst und Gemüse aber arg lieblos angerichtet. Auch auf Nachfrage kann hier nix vorbereitet werden. Vor Allem wegen der tollen Lage würde ich das Resort gerne weiter empfehlen, weil es an einer sehr schönen und geschützten Bucht liegt, die vor Artenvielfalt nur so strotzt und ein Rückzugsort für junge schwarz spitzen riffhaie bietet. Hier kommt nun jedoch das Aber: - der Preis für die Zimmer ist mMn zu hoch - die Bucht wird vom Besitzer und den Angestellten kontrolliert und es wird darauf geachtet , dass schnorchler sich gut verhalten. Was an und für sich gut klingt, artet jedoch darin aus, dass über die Bucht oft geschrien, gepfiffen und mit dem Megafon gesprochen wird. Eine Absolut absurde Situation, in der der Inhaber des Resorts vermeintlich keine Lösungen findet, in Problemlage geratene Anfänger im Schnorcheln zu helfen (z.B. mit schwimmenden Ringen, an denen sie die Maske richten können/ die Betonklötze sind bereits am Boden) - sondern lediglich auf sehr ekelhafte Weise rummotzt. So wurde sogar von schnorchlern und Inhaber hin und her geschrien in der Bucht. Einfach unangenehm. Mein Tip: Nehmt ein preiswertes hotel und zahlt die 200php eintritt um vor Ort in der Bucht zu schnorcheln. Die Bucht lohnt sich, das Hotel mMn nicht.

I spent 4 days diving with Evolution- 2 days completing my AOW and Nitrox with Gino, followed by the trip to Gato Island and Kimud and Monad Shoals, both with divemaster Josh. Evolution had been recommended highly on a group for divers, so I decided to dive with them on my trip to Malapascua. Right from first contact with them, the team was so incredibly helpful and quick with responses to any of my messages or questions. The equipment I rented was in very good condition. Instructor Gino was incredibly patient with me during dives, taught me so much and gave really helpful feedback- I am now a much better diver thanks to his help. He was also great at pointing out interesting things on all dives I did with him. He took video of me on the Thresher Shark dive which was great as well. I also really enjoyed my first ever night dive. Divemaster Josh was also very patient and helpful on the Gato Island trip and my second adventure out to see the sharks. We were blessed to spend 25mins in the presence of a Tiger Shark at Monad Shoal. Everyone was incredibly stoked when we got back on the boat. The vibes were high even though it was raining and the sea quite rough. All staff in reception and on the boat were very helpful. I really felt well taken care of at all times- very grateful! Food at The Craic House at Evolution is wonderful, as was food that was prepared on the boat and given out during surface intervals- especially lunch at Gato Island. Many people had dietary requirements and they were very well taken care of too. All in all, I can't recommend Evolution Malapascua more highly. Book this place for your dive trip in Malapascua- you won't regret it! And to any of the Evolution staff if you read this- thank you for everything. I had the most incredible time and it means more to me than you'll ever know

If you’re looking for a serene and upscale resort in Cebu that offers both relaxation and adventure, Kandaya Resort is an excellent choice. It’s a place to unwind, enjoy world-class amenities, and indulge in Filipino hospitality, all while surrounded by natural beauty. Highly recommended for those who want to experience a luxurious escape in the Philippines.

Pros: staff were very friendly and nice, grounds in front of the beach were well-kept, extensive menu with fun drinks. Able to pay with a credit card with an additional 3.5%. Scuba personnel were GREAT. The dive masters are able to find all kinds of critters and gave us amazing dive experiences. Cons: staff had to be asked repeatedly in order to get something to happen, the grounds around the resort smelled like sewage and were not well maintained. The water pressure and temperature is awful. Cold SALT-water showers. The taste of the food was so-so. The worst part was we had to CHANGE ROOMS 3 TIMES! We started in the family room for 5 of us. There were springtail bugs and other mite-appearing insects on the walls and on the beds. Some of the bugs bit some of us in our sleep. The roosters that are kept for cock-fighting were right behind us so we heard crossing 24-7. After 2 nights we were moved to two rooms to accommodate the 5 of us. This was a good business move on their part since they were the ones with the infestation problem! We moved to the main building and all was well for one night. However, the next day we found a cockroach in my purse and springtails in our daughter’s bed. Three of us were moved once again and had a good night’s sleep finally. With all the moving around due to issues on their part we didn’t expect to have to pay extra. However, they charged us $1000P because we were put into two rooms. And they charged us $700P for the cot for my daughter. In the end they removed the $1000P but we had to pay the $700P. I would NOT stay at Exotic again and would not recommend. My friend who lives in the Philippines said it was the worst resort he has ever stayed in, in the PH.

Вентилятор не работал. Дали запасно:) В гостишке ресторанчик отсутствует, все ходят на числе! Филиппины велком.
