Buena Vida Resort and Spa

Heel sfeervol en comfortabel. Fijn personeel en heerlijke massages. Lekker en gezond ontbijt! Alles klopt! Aanrader!

非常滿意👍🏻👍🏻

Really nice oasis of a retreat, very relaxing. Great service and staff were very helpful. Close to the beach and nice and quiet with lovely veranda areas. It had rained so some mosquitoes but they can't get into the rooms and the hotel helpfully supplies mosquito coils to burn outside.

Buena Vida is welcoming, serene, and beautifully designed. Walking there from Malapascua port, you step off the hot and narrow street into a cool oasis of relative luxury. The path to the beach is short and safe, so walking to the dive shop (even carrying your own equipment) is no sweat. The coordination between Buena Vida and their beachside partners Ocean Vida (restaurant and sister resort) and Sea Explorers (the dive shop) is also excellent. Ocean Vida was always prepared to take us for breakfast or leave our bagged meals at the dive shop for us on morning-dive days. Sea Explorers made our return to diving (after just over a year) comfortable, safe, and fun, and led us on an amazing dive with thresher sharks. In addition, Sea Explorers has multiple locations, so we were able to dive with them again (and enjoy a slight discount based on our total number of dives across their locations) in Dauin. The service at Buena Vida was at a high level in laid-back Malapascua, and may have slightly spoiled us for other stays in the Visayas. Specifically, we appreciated the ease and graciousness with which the staff shifted our 3-night stay forward by one day (with no extra charge, though we had a non-cancellable reservation), when we told them we’d be arriving a day later due to a flight cancellation by Scoot. Though they were fully booked, they made a new and gorgeous room (under the yoga platform) available to us, so we wouldn’t have to miss a day of diving or change hotels. They even let us shift rooms a day earlier than needed, so that we wouldn’t have to worry about packing up on the morning of our early dives. The staff also greet guests every late-afternoon or early evening with a turn-down service sweet treat, which they hand to you as you arrive back from the day’s adventures. We did not personally try the spa, but heard great things about it from others on our dive excursions. The only (very minor) suggestions I have for improvements would be to offer a few non-sandwich choices for the bagged meals to have on the boats, and to install some hooks or extra bars in the rooms for hanging clothing (since you’re always trying to dry a few things at once during a dive vacation, and it was often rainy outdoors). Aside from those tiny enhancements, I wouldn’t change a thing. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to people traveling to Malapascua for diving.

A una cuadra de Bounty Beach muy acogedor, dormitorios con terrazas. Muy al estilo "Yoga", buenas vibras, etc. Nos gustó que tiene un gym bueno y también para hacer calistenia. Desayuno buffet incluido pero había que ir a Ocean Vida (3min caminando a Bounty Beach). Primer desayuno que nos ponen Mango. La llave viene con el llavero de la electricidad entonces al sacar la llave el dormitorio queda sin electricidad por lo tanto sin AC, pero lo entendimos por el hecho de estar en una isla más pequeña. Loundry 24h 150PHP/Kilo. Hay masajes también desde los 600 a 2000 PHP.

Was für ein schönes Hotel! Zwar in 2. Strandreihe, aber dafür hat man auch Ruhe und ein wunderschönes kleines Spa Hotel. Und das Frühstück wird direkt am Strand im Schwesterhotel eingenommen. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und vor allem hat jedes Zimmer einen riesigen Outdoor Bereich mit Hängematte und anderen Sitzgelegenheiten. Das Personal ist super nett und wir haben uns jeden Abend über das betthupferl gefreut. Danke für die schöne Zeit!
