Reviews for Malapascua Garden Resort

Review 1：I was staying for 8 nights in a fan room. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Accomodation is more quiet than the ones on the beach, but still very close to everything. Very clean. Good food.

Review 2：we did book a deluxe room since about 2 months ago and when arrived, we got an inferior room because deluxe rooms are busy, they offered to move us the next morning but nothing, after 2 days they changed the room but at check out, they wanted we pay all days as a deluxe room, after negotiate, they made the correct discount.

Review 3：Some problem with internet connection

Review 4：Everyone at the hotel was very nice and helpful :) recommend It and would come back If visiting malapascua again.

Review 5：Fan room really was far too hot. Pony up for the air conditioning! Also wifi does not work in the rooms, only reception.

Review 6：Staff were very friendly, breakfast was delicious

Review 7：Breakfast only with two options and the remainder all charged as extra. Internet signal weak in the room. We had two days without television in the room and no qualified people to solve the problem. Left of us the idea to change to another room because the manager didn't give a solution for the same. A day without the same requested. Little torches around the hotel. At the time of our departure we present a credit card for payment of extras consumed and none of the staff (absent Manager) know to use the machine. Resolved with one phone call to the Manager to give directions over the phone.

Review 8：Staff were friendly

Review 9：Water for free and a fruit would help to enrich the breakfast Staff was not aware that I booked. I first had to show my reservation on my mobile.

Review 10：Everything is close People are friendly Thresher Sharks are amazing

Review 11：nothing.

Review 12：Not far from the beach,next to the local restaurant Ging Ging's, and a local dive shop Sea Slug Divers. Staff are very friendly and helpful. very good value for money. But you may wanna book a room with AC, because the door should be closed all the time to keep mosquitos and flies out.

Review 13：TV didn't work and problem hasn't been fixed even reminded the staff several times during the stay.

Review 14：Very clean, nice garden setting, very friendly staff

Review 15：Huge cockroach, the TV and the aircon didn't work. A little hard to find but once you figure out the road everything's fine

Review 16：Small but good breakfast

Review 17：Tv didn't work, shower wasn't great either (luke warm at best) and the WiFi didn't work in the room.

Review 18：Staff were all fantastic. The place is very clean and Ray's breakfast pancakes are fantastic.

Review 19：hidden from the beach - also reception did not react on emergency call from us when our boat broke down on the ocean - they need to be aware of the danger the boat trip can have and react properly (for this is the poor rating staff).. lucky this time, nothing bad happen ..

Review 20：good hotel - not to expensive

Review 21：The mattresses and pillows are just a piece of foam. No tea/coffee/kettle facilities.

Review 22：The staff's ability/willingness to please by being flexible/accommodating.

Review 23：they were very disorganized upon check in. They did not have a tv that was working, or a key for the security box. We had to continually keep swiitching rooms, until we finally had a tv that worked, and a lock box. No water in the middle of the night, I had to wake up the night man. Not impressed, at all with the check in..

Review 24：The water preassure in the shower wasn´t the best, but that goes for most accomodations in the Phillipines.

Review 25：The staff at the hotel were extremely nice and helpful, they for example helped carrying heavy baggage to and from the hotel from the beach/ferry. The room was big, clean and cozy.

Review 26：unfotunately there isn't a lot of shade on the beach because of yolanda (2013); but we loved the island and the beautiful sunsets there ;-)

Review 27：everything was just perfect, we got good information from the owner where we should go for dinner

Review 28：1. Not good wifi in the room 2. Deluxe room with kingsize bed was actually two beds put together and not very comfortable. 3. Only two towels, no cable tv no fridge, no disposal toiletries.

Review 29：quiet and clean place, helpfull staff

Review 30：Nothing bad to say here, I liked all very nice resort ...

Review 31：1. It's not a very large resort so it's always peaceful.. 2. Breakfast area in garden is beautiful.. 3. It's very well located nearby lots of excellent restaurants and shops. 4. Stuff is very friendly and keen to help not just in resort matters but in everything else too... 5. Rooms has Air conditioning and is very comfortable. . This is just one of the very few resorts I have visited that I will have too repeat! Excellent choice got lucky since it was my first visit to malapascua island and so it happens I chose the perfect stay! I would recommend this resort even over more expensive ones for many reasons..

Review 32：We didn't receive our towels for two days, didn't get our room cleaned when asking. They have a pig chained up on their backyard that is pretty much filled with glass and garbage and they have a little puppy (dog) chained up outside the resort without water and food, ALL DAY LONG. It was there the whole vacation.

Review 33：The bed and the WiFi was pretty much the good list. Located in a decent area.

Review 34：House #6 has no wifi, had to sit outdoors Shower wasn't that good No hair drier in the room

Review 35：One of the best hotel on the island (cuz not so many options u have there) Helpful staff Clean and cozy rooms Nice garden

Review 36：Malapascua Island itself is an unusual place. Locals are lovely but the tourists were not so friendly and no-one is out and about after dinner. Also, dive prices are outrageous compared with other dive sites in the Philippines. Go here if you want to dive with Thresher Sharks - otherwise don't bother there are plenty of nicer places in the Philippines.

Review 37：The rooms were spacious, wonderful and well maintained grounds and very helpful staff.

Review 38：Wifi was not available in the room.

Review 39：I really loved the room. They didn't have a double room left so they gave us a family room and it was excellent. The woman who I think is in charge of the resort was super friendly and helpful. She let us shower after diving even if I already checked out. I really appreciated that help!

Review 40：The owner Luz,is verry kindly and help you with everything. Her services are so good.she sent us on a beautyfool beach were we make bbq. Verry quite and so nice to relax.

Review 41：For us it wasn't an issue but hotel isn't by the beach. should walk around 5 minutes to reach it among village. This, by accident should be also positive feature cause we had occasion to see how local people lives like which probably wouldn't see living at the main beach

Review 42：Quite small hotel run by a family so probably that's why atmosphere during our stay was very family. staff was always smiling and willing to help in our issues. rooms were very big, clean and comfortable. Large choice of sets for breakfast - 6 or 7 different and was really delicious. WiFi signal strong enough to get connected while sitting on terrace. We've been picked up from the boat by hotel employees who carried our luggage which was very nice favour. After that hotel guy went with us to show the way to the main beach, some shops and recommended good restaurant which was very helpful for us.

Review 43：Have a nice garden, the hotel is not so big and the staff is very friendly. It's a more quiet place. The beach is only 5 mts on a walking distance.

Review 44：Decentralized staffing, food is too expensive and not much local menus to choose from.

Review 45：The location was perfect for relaxing. Away from the noisy surroundings. Clean and spacious rooms.

Review 46：The hotel is located a bit inland within the local village, about a 7-10 mins walk from bounty beach where all the other hotels, restaurants, bars and dive shops are located. We arrived at night and finding the place was very tricky and a bit sketchy since we didn't know who to trust and there were no signs anywhere (generally when getting off the boat you shouldn't trust any of the people offering you accommodation, dive tours, bag carrying services etc. - especially the younger ones with the fake badges presenting them selves as official local whatever). The walk isn't that bad but it is not lit and so afterdark you should know your way well or find yourself having an intimate tour of malapasqua in the dark. Also, wifi is not available in the rooms and when we checked in there were two cockroaches in the bathroom (which was a bit odd since the room was very clean).

Review 47：The room we had was hugh, clean, air conditioned and had a safe. The rooms are really like small villas all located around a nice and very well maintained garden. Also, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good as well.

Review 48：Set back from both the main beach and the ferry landing, this hotel is quiet, yet convenient. The staff was quick to smile and helped me immeasurably. I left pleased with my choice of having stayed there.

Review 49：No meals for guests at lunch or teatime, as the kitchen is buzy feeding the owners family who act as the staff. No local area map in room to point you to eateries

Review 50：Nice rooms Well tended grounds Breakfast included Meals at nearby restaurants when you eventually find them.

Review 51：Frendly staff.

Review 52：nothing

Review 53：So amazing staff!

Review 68：wifi is not that well

Review 69：minutes walk away from the beach, well cared garden, feel great sitting at the balcony.

Review 70：Food and service. ...is very good. ..

Review 71：My room on the side of small bath where was all the time noisy motorbikes going fast.

Review 72：Staff was very nice and friendly. Nice clean big room

Review 73：Nothing to criticise but there was a problem with the WC blocking the last day we were there and evidence of other plumbing problems with other rooms too, but this is a rural island so no real problem. Maintenance were quick to respond.

Review 74：Nicely located a 10 minute walk from the landing beach and super welcoming staff. Rooms are clean and fairly well equipped and the breakfast prompt and simple, nice brewed coffee which was a nice surprise.

Review 75：I don't like the location coz its too far from the beach need to walk far and i have little children to carry.

Review 76：The people at the front desk are good,they treat the guest well and they are friendly.

Review 77：My wife Elize and i enjoyed the friendness and helpfulness of the staff. the resort is quite and well located. it is one of those place one always returns to.

Review 78：Bar limited drinks Location was only negative point, pick this lovely resort up and move it closer to the beach and it would be among the best on the island.

Review 79：Staff were superb and resort is very neat and tidy with rooms recently renovated to a high standard.

Review 80：Non AC Room is rather stuffy with fan. No hangers in wardrobe

Review 81：AC rooms are better value for money. 500 peso more per night is worth the addition aircon, safe, better toilet amenities. Both types of rooms were clean with hot water and comfortable bed.

Review 82：It's really close to boat station that goes to Maya but it's not that close to main beach where diving companies are. It takes about 10 minutes to go there and at night you need torch to find the way. But it's very safe place. Still I think It's the best place on the island and I really love it!

Review 83：Very nice design. Friendly athmosphere. Safe place. Near to the boat station that goes to Maya. Big room with porch. Wi-fi available. Near to the Gin Gin restaurant with good and really cheap (meals for 60-80 php) Filipinian food.

Review 84：All staff, as well as family and friends of staff were really friendly and helpful that made the stay so very enjoyable.
