A great spot if you’re swimming and diving all day and just want a place to rest your head at night. But amenities are unfortunately not as stated. There’s no Wifi in the rooms despite what the website says, and the Wifi in the public area doesn’t work.
Also, I took my backpack on an excursion with me one day, so the cleaning staff assumed I had left altogether. They removed my other belongings and gave my room to someone else even though I had reserved it for 3 more nights. An honest mistake, but I was very confused about why this happened.

Gutes Hotel
Ich war im Hotel, als der Taifun Ursula hereinbrach.
Zwei Tage kein Strom oder Netz auf der Intel.
Trotzdem fühlte ich mich im starlight sehr sicher und abgesehen davon empfand ich das Hotel als sehr angenehm, wenn man auf den direkten Strand verzichten kann und fünf Minuten Fußweg dahin verkraftet.

A real treat in real Malapascua
Sandy and her team were fantastic, great hotel. Huge room, very comfortable.
The best part about this place is the location, away from the coast opposite the market, right in the middle of REAL island life

Perfekt att bo
Mitten av allt, nära till allt det vill säga. Tyst i och med dem har stor mark in undan lixom med hög buskage runt om, fantastisk personal, dem serverade inte frukost under den tiden 2v vi var där pga det var lite ont om råvaror just då. Men det finns hur mycket runt om som helst, bra dykning på ön, glada öbor, många fattiga i lokalbefolkningen, många skadade/sjuka hundar och det mest negativa med ön är Alla dessa tuppar som skriker, tuppfäktning är deras största nöje där, 2 gånger i veckan hålls det. Stränderna och badvänligheten är bäst på väst sidan och norr, södra är mest båtar/dyk öst är fattigt, inga turister typ och stränderna är fulla med båtar.

Verdt et besøk
Fordeler:
- Fint rom med balkong. Personalet ordnet om sengen til en dobbeltseng selv om vi hadde bestilt rom med enkeltsanger noe vi likte godt
- Praktisk dusj med varmt vann
- Ikke så langt unna stranden
- Hyggelig personale som var veldig behjelpelige. Vi fikk bli en ekstra natt selv om det i utgangspunktet var fullt
Ulemper:
- Vi hadde noen katter utenfor rommet som skreik og bråkte hele natten
- De kunne utnyttet det store uteområdet bedre! Hadde vært fint med noen planter og blomster.

Wir waren sehr gerne dort
Zimmer war sehr geräumig. Sehr guter Wasserdruck in der Dusche und heißes Wasser. Klimaanlage leise und stark. Wifi meist OK. Sehr nette Besitzer/ Angestellte haben uns sogar geholfen, die Koffer bei der Abreise zum "Ableger" zu bringen. Liegt nicht direkt am Strand, aber über Schleichwege ist man in 5 Minuten dort. Dafür gibt es leckeres und günstiges Essen direkt vor dem Eingang auf dem Grillmarkt. Haben uns immer sicher gefühlt auf Malapascua.

Room fits the bill nicely
The room was comfortable and clean with aircon at competitive price.
The host was very helpful, and friendly, and they have a communal kitchen if you want to prepare your own breakfast.
The rooms could do with some cupboard space or hooks to hang things up on, but there plenty of drying space outside for wet swimming gear.
The location is just a hundred metres in from the beach, although paths are generally sandy so not suitcase-friendly (and easier with a backpack).
With Boracay closed, Malapascua has been getting more trade, but it is no substitute for Boracay.
