Tepanee Beach Resort

Location convenient close to pier, and with beaches both sides. Value for money. Breakfast may be improved but generally all good. Would stay in cottage house next time (closer to sea, and more unique)

Nice place, the shark sanctuary was great!

Abbiamo soggiornato presso il Tepanee beach per una settimana. Non volevamo più andarcene. I proprietari, Silvia e Andrea, oltre ad essere delle persone estremamente piacevoli con cui conversare, hanno creato un piccolo paradiso a Malapascua, con un occhio attento al buon cibo, all’atmosfera tranquilla dell’ambiente e al rispetto della natura in cui hanno investito tante energie. Al Tepanee si trovano tutti gli elementi per potersi rilassare senza annoiarsi, per riscoprirsi nella natura, nella lentezza e nell’attenzione ai piccoli particolari, tra cui una piccola libreria multilingue da cui attingere meravigliose storie! Un caloroso abbraccio, ci rivedremo sicuramente

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.

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!

The hotel has a private beach for customers only, it’s the best beach on the island as it has black tip sharks basically everywhere! It’s shallow and has lots of sea life and coral, it is protected so you can not stand on the coral and there is a limit to how many people can go into the water at one time which we loved as you can really see they are protecting the sea. The hotel is also amazing and ensuring single use plastic isn’t used to also protect the sea. Room with a beautiful view, warm shower and amazing location. Would highly highly recommend. The food and drinks were lovely, we used the tab system so paid at the end which was nice not having to have cash with us all day. The sun loungers are of high quality too which make for a lovely sleep. The hotel arranged for a women to come and give me a massage in their spa room which was nice as she went outside to cut fresh alo Vera to use on my sun burnt back. Great place. Best on the island.

The bungalows are well equiped, clean and located on a beautiful spot. The service is excellent, great attention from the staff. However the breakfast is incredibly minimalist for the size and pricing of the resort. And, red flag, I have been charged almost one euro (50 pesos) for each page I had printed from the reception. Inacceptable when you pay, in the Philippines, more than 100 Euros for your bungalow. To the owners, you want to make money from your beautiful and well managed hotel, great!! Bud don 't be to obvious!!

My wife and I had 5 nights here during January with one of the bungalows overlooking the sea. Some positives and negatives regarding our stay experience; Positives: - Great view - Reception staff friendly & helpful - Room was clean and a good size for a couple - Private beach / good snorkelling Negatives: - The onsite restaurant (Amihan) was expensive, we had the grilled fish and a tuna steak which we didn’t think had much flavour or was particularly fresh. We didn’t go back. Other cheaper, restaurants on the island seemed to have better quality food, much more seasoning and better ingredients overall. - The bamboo bed was very creaky, any movement resulted in a loud noise. Our door didn’t close properly either. - The breakfast service was poor (again compared to nearby competition). Overall the island of Malapascua was great (including. Of the course the diving), unfortunately we expected a bit more from Tepanee based on other online reviews we had seen and their pricing which seemed to indicate they were at the higher end of the local market.

Loved Malapascua. Encourage everyone visiting to go for a long walk around the island...not coup up in resort. People are wonderful and so many hidden gems. Staff friendly here and helpful. Enjoyed likely the best suite. Food good...focus on Italian here....so pizza very good. No dive centre so you have to walk to dive centre which is 500m or so. TSD...Thresher Shark Divers so you can map it.
