Beach Hotels in Malapascua Island

(1) Perfect location: very quiet, on the other side of a hill so sounds from beach bars don't reach the rooms. It's especially apparent when you walk from the room to the beach in the evening: after you cross the summit you start hearing music from beach bars / restaurants, ones you didn't hear close to the room. (2) Quiet air conditioner: not very strong but sufficient for the room. (3) Decent-sized (not a small minibar type) and quiet (!) fridge, we for example bought fruits and stored them in it. (4) Basically nothing disturbs your sleep when in the room (except possibly your partner? ;-). (5) The real hidden gem is hotel's private beach, snorkeling on it you can see plenty of baby reef sharks!!! I saw maybe about 12 at the same time. Pro tip: don't swim too fast or too much, actually move your hands and feet as little as possible, otherwise you'll scare the sharks. Just get to the right place (a bit further out from the shore, near the rope) and wait a bit. Sharks will come. And don't swim in the area to the right of the entrance limited by rope, it's an area reserved only for the sharks. Instead, hold on to the rope so that you don't need to move and don't scare sharks away. (6) Nearby hotel Blanco Beach Resort has a very good restaurant next to the Tepanee's private beach, and this restaurant serves very tasty food and fresh juices. (7) Soft, comfortable beds (memory foam but it's fine). (8) Nice furnuture, room had a work table. (9) Good WiFi. (10) Hotel is built on a hill so you can save up on gym - just walking to / from your bungalow will burn enough calories ;-) (11) Views from this hill and the partner restaurant are breath-taking.

Our favorite accommodation in the Philippines so far!! So cute, earthy and cozy little huts, not to forget the lovely staff. All the little details made our stay so special. Good mosquito net and two fans do their job well. The location is great, next to the beach and the best restaurant in the island (Villa Potenciana) 🤍 Their mango float is to die for! We ate there every day during our stay in Malapascua. Live music almost every day. Can’t recommend Tribal Huts Community enough!

Hygiene, Staff is very helpful, the calmness of the rooms , the hostel beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious. Excellent property 👌

Breakfast was good, staff were fantastic, including dive staff who were very professional and very focussed on safety. The beach was fantastic and I could have stayed forever.

I absolutely loved my stay at AABANA beach!!!! The place is RIGHT in front of the beach and the view from the room it’s insane!! Plus it’s surrounded by palm and trees and hammocks and it’s sooo peaceful!!! It’s only 10 minutes away from the port and the surroundings is fantastic, with everything you need just a few meters away!! Plus the owner was extremely nice and helpful, also helped me plan my day trip for the next day! Can’t forget to mention the amazing breakfast included in the price !!! I chose banana pancake which was so delicious and served with fresh mango!!! Absolutely 100% recommended and definitely coming back here for my next stay in Malapascua!

Fantastic location. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room excellent, very roomy and well equipped. Superb balcony overlooking the sea. Great restaurant

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I loved the patio of my room.

Very nice hostel, clean, helpful staff

very nice and cozy place with amazing staff

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.
