Beautiful property and beach, the staff are so lovely, and food at the restaurant was excellent with lots of variety. Dive Shop at the hotel was also excellent. Always felt safe. Public ferry getting to/from Malapascua was a pain... Overloaded on our way there, and they don't run on time (was our experience both ways and then they charged us more because they didn't have enough people for our return). Worth considering the private ferry option for this reason. However, once you're at Exotic, it's great!

Shower died, restaurant claiming unpaid bills when all was paid for. WiFi signal to the room was poor at best, lost count how many times I got disconnected just the first hour. Beach was nice though with plenty of sunbeds.

Great location Avoid Breakfast

Spacious clean rooms. Hot showers cold air conditioning. Beautiful White sand beach quiet location. 5 minutes walk to local shops and street food. On site restaurant has no ability to cook any hot food. Breakfast looks great but cold even though requested hot !! Avoid the restaurant at all cost. Happy Hour at the bar is only for cocktails NO beer so totally pointless that’s why the bar is always empty… Tried to change for drinks we didn’t order or consume upon check out. The cashier Rude and unapologetic. Lacks any customer service skills.

This was a fantastic place. The beach is breathtaking amazing snorkelling direct from and beach and the dive school were also great. Bar and restaurant attached were good and Malapascua itself is a small and friendly place. Best place we came to in the Philippines.

It’s a long walk…

It’s 3*, you get what you pay for. The room was perfectly ok. Shower was quirky, but, worked. Bed comfy, WiFi dreadful. Service was hit & miss. It is quite a long slog from what feels like the heart of this area. Maybe 10-15 mins walk along the beach. It may not sound a lot, but, in 30c + it became a chore, u r hot & sweaty before u get anywhere. Other than the service and location, everything else was acceptable.

Min pojkvän och jag bodde här under vår vistelse på Malapascua i 4 nätter. Over all, ett väldigt trevligt boende med härligt läge. Det som drar ner betyget något är den dåliga servicen vi blev bemötta med i dykcentret (som ligger i anslutning till hotellet) där vi aldrig fick hjälp med de dyk vi ville göra utan vi fick enbart svar om att ”come back tomorrow”. Tråkigt då det var en av våra huvudaktiviteter när vi besökte Malapascua. Kan istället rekommendera granhotellet som tog hand om oss mycket bättre
