Spa Hotels in Malapascua Island

I loved this place and my stay in Tepanee The Location Is amazing very well located, great views, great vibes and excellent service!! I spent there 1 week and it was perfect. Andrea (the owner) is a perfect host, he helped me with contacts and lot of interesting Info about the isaland 100% recomended!!!

When we came to the hotel we were ones guests there and the hotel is quite big (capacity of more than 100). So there was no life in the hotel, not many choices of food for breakfast and the staff was a little bit lazy but helpful if you asked them for what you needed, and friendly that is for sure. The pool was a little bit untidy (leaves and flies were in it - regular issue after each day but I think that it should be cleaned every morning), of course, the pool was OK for use, I swam in it. No guests in the restaurant during the days and evenings and almost no one in the bar (just we were the ones who took drinks during happy hours to sipe them during sunsets - the beachfront of the hotel is a perfect spot for that and a frozen margarita is a good drink to celebrate the sunset moment after a hot day - recommended). The situation changed a little bit after a group of about 15 guests came at the end of our stay. The hotel has huge potential in my opinion and it just needs some attention and engagement to be a very good hotel - one of the few hotels on the island which has a swimming pool, the swimming pool is really big if taking into account that the hotel is on a small island, there is kind of jacuzzi (it did not work during our stay), there is a separate bar, big restaurant. I have mixed feelings about the hotel.

Another beautiful place to stay - a paradise per se. Everything about Ocean Vida is perfect, included breakfast was really good, the service is impeccable and when you are doing an early dive which is very common, they have this service that allows you to order your meal prior to the day of diving so you can just collect it early morning the next day, how good is that! We'll definitely be back here next time.

The resort(s) we amazing. Ocean Vida and Buena Vida are owned by the same hotelier. If you stay at Buena Vida (which we did) you get to use the private beach and bar at Ocean Vida and breakfast is also served at Ocean Vida. The view from the restaurant is gorgeous as is the bar and private beach with it's eating areas and lounges. We added an extra day to our stay because we loved the place so much. Buena Vida is a two minute walk down a little laneway. It's tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main beach part of the island which we preferred. The decor of the resort and rooms are gorgeous and thoughtfully decorated. The staff give very personalized service, even down to the cute little personal notes before bed with some complimentary sweets. We felt very special because of the treatment of the staff at both resorts. Elmie at the bar at Ocean Vida is a superstar. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she was just lovely. The scuba diving that Sea Explorers (the onsite dive shop) provide is outstanding. The shop is organised, well run, our guide Rex was so amazing and we really appreciated having our own guide for the time we were there. The diveshop is a well oiled machine, good, well maintained equipment and boats and the corals and sharks in the area were wonderful. No bleached coral and so many colours and textures. We would 100% come here and dive here again and have plans to go again in the near future.

From the moment we arrived at the reception on the first day until the checkout on the last day, everything was perfect. The room, the restaurant, the location, and the safety were all excellent. We are especially grateful to all the staff who took such great care of us. The 2-night stay at the Exotic Resort will be unforgettable. We hope there still will have The happy hour event during our next vacation as well.

Peaceful and beachfront, Nipahut experience was cute

The staff are extremely nice and we were looked after above and beyond and appreciate how willing they were to help wherever we needed it. The rooms where beautiful as was the pool and beach and a delicious menu at the restaurant once again great staff.
