Positive: Property is right on ocean the rooms are nice with balcony and plenty of room. Each room has a/c and hot water in shower. The restaurant was very good on the property!
Negative: Everything was a bit expensive; the dive shop and restaurant were significantly more expensive than if you went to another one similar in town. We booked diving with a cheaper dive shop.
Summary: Perfect beach location to enjoy after diving!

Positive: The property was located right on beach with an amazing view. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
Negative: It was hard to find, it’s tucked in between a dive shop and another beach resort. The beds were also super hard which I personally don’t like.
Summary: We loved the place, we didn’t know much about malapascua and wanted to check it out. We definitely recommend coming here

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great little hotel, right on the beach. Our 1st floor room was clean and comfortable with working hot water and a large balcony. The restaurant and bar are on the beach and offer a good selection of western and local food. Live music at the weekend is a nice addition. Dive shop on premises so very convenient.
Negative: Like most businesses on Malpascua, this is a cash only place, so no credit cards accepted! Steps to 1st floor were very tall, so perhaps not ideal for the less nimble!
Summary: Ideal dive destination
