Hotel 3 Bintang di Daanbantayan

I rate this little gem of a hotel 5 stars on its position on beach front position. Staff are helpful. friendly and attentive to your needs. I was sick and they really looked after me. Food was very nice with a huge variety on the menu with great value. Rooms are comfortable and clean the spa was so relaxing . Our housekeeping lady was the best. Each and everyone of the hotel staff worked so hard to make this hotel what it is. I thank you all for making us so welcome. We hope to see you all again soon

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.

This place is awesome. Incredibly professional! Leif, my instructor, is unbelievable! He has tons of experience, not only diving (of course), but as a school teacher. He is kind and amazingly thorough--and instructional skills are top notch! Evolution is one of a kind! The place is gorgeous and very very well taken care of. I didn't stay there but the rooms look awesome. The owner Matt is a legend. And Leif is a gem- they are blessed to have him! Look no further- you found your dive center. :)

1.房間很大，舒適，看到陽台的那一刻還被驚艷了。入住有歡迎飲料。 2.酒店有自己的飯店和按摩服務，西餐，味道説不上適應，但也不差，食物的價格都是四五六七十一份，飲料二三十人民幣一份。按摩也是大約一百元不到點一小時。 3.酒店位置在沙灘上，點一杯飲料，在沙灘邊的餐廳裏坐半天非常的舒展，感覺所有的煩惱都被這碧海藍天和微風帶走了。孩子自己去沙灘上玩水（注意安全啊，我們孩子大了，來這裏還考了潛水員證2000人民幣，超值） 4.這邊的人民風淳樸，沒有那種爾虞我詐，走在路上大人孩子都會跟你問好。一個船員一天的收入大概就三四十人民幣一天，還不是天天有活。所以請大家儘量不要佔他們便宜，曾經有一個船員送了我一個香蕉，我吃完沒有給小費（他沒有表現出需要我給小費），當我後來知道他們收入，一直很懊悔，他們那麼窮對我們都那麼大方，自己應該給個小費的，二三元人民幣他們就很感激了。 5.但是島上的自來水都是鹹的，所以愛美的姐妹們可以提前買礦泉水洗臉，否則變黑的速度肉眼可見。 在這邊看到最多的是來自歐美的三口之家，很多小朋友。 整體感覺是物有所值

The location of the hotel is not the best. The room I stayed was facing a very noisy road filled with traffic noise and it’s surrounded by local houses with noisy roosters that start at 3:30 am. There’s no swimming pool as it shows in the pictures. It’s under frozen construction which was right over my room. There’s no hot shower. The owner is very sweet and welcoming! Very nice lady Ruby. She gave many useful tips about the island and helped with booking the diving course. If you’re not a diver, this place is not the best option for you. There’s not much to do on the island. It’s very undeveloped and there’s are only few stops to enjoy the beach life.

The charming beauty of Buena Vida calms both the body and soul. From the intricate Hindu sculptures and powerful quotes on the walls, everything about this resort gives a feeling of serenity. On top of that, the resort connects to delicious restaurants of a variety of cuisines, making for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a break from the oversaturation of the modern city, Buena Vida just may be my resort of choice.

Very loud music at night, we asked the staff, they say there is a disco right next door, which has a party every Saturday, but only on Saturdays. If you choose this day, bring earplugs. You do not hear neighbors or other guests in the hotel. You order breakfast on a card and are served one dish and one drink (either coffee or pineapple juice). If you want more or something else, it costs extra. We think the breakfast is very basic. The shower is not very hot and the shower head holder could use a replacement, the shower falls down. The room is spacious and generally clean. Nice there is a closet and a table. The bed is comfortable, the linen clean, but old stains on the sheets and holes patched up. There is free drinking water to fill up at the reception, you are given one 1/2 liter drinking bottle per room. Bring your own if necessary. The water dispenser could use a thorough cleaning, doesn't look that appetizing. The staff are nice, friendly, smiling. The garden is nice and well maintained. Located 5 minutes walk from Bounty beach, which the hotel actually advises not to use because there is a lot of boat traffic and the risk of not being seen when swimming. Instead, they recommend the north beach, approx. 30 min walk or a ride on a scooter. We spent a few afternoons at Bounty Beach, it was okay, there are shady places and you can swim at the beach, just be aware of the boats. We walked to the north beach, but did not like it because of trash on the beach and too windy, but a nice walk up there.

A very good and well maintained Dive Resort in Malapascua. It’s located directly at the beach with own diving boats as well. Capable and friendly staff both in the Diving part and also in the Resort part. One of few (?) diving resorts accepting credit cards. The room was very clean and recent refurbishment. The breakfast and restaurant area is a rooftop terrace with a calming, relaxing sea view and atmosphere. The only down-side, and that’s for more or less all resorts in Malapascua, the service water is breached water. Next time in the Philippines, probably Jun/huly 2025, we will for sure return to Malapascua and especially, to Little Mermaid Resort! The diving was well organised and gave us the possibilities to see Treaser Sharks, Reef Sharks, Barracudas and many other kind of Sea Life!

Location: 4min from the main Pier facing north. Nothing asked of them was a problem, smiles and prompt service! Room large, cool air con, functional large bathroom. morning and afternoon sun to dry diving things. Restaurant has a massive pizza oven and they were perfect, everyday at least one :) Angelina staff are all professional filipinas doing their best to help. We asked for private car CEBU-Maya Port and then private boat - just for us :) Van was huge, comfortable and it takes 3hrs off peak traffic. 5min walk to white-beach (south beach) and walk along till it then veers north passing by empty resorts (24-29Sept) which was perfect for us with hardly any visitors. 40min walk to North Beach - nice & relax pace and good to see local's life, school, and forgotten Resorts....! North Beach is paradise - we snorkelled around rock point from a derelict Resort....so sad to see what Covid has done to businesses around the world!! Angelina staff - THANK YOU !
