Good for diving trip. But the facility is too old. The staff is nice and it's good place to stay if you visit the island

Amazing place to stay. Right on the beach front. The beds were slightly hard, but everything else was amazing. I will definitely be back.

1. The room was large and comfortable. I was amazed when I saw the balcony. There is a welcome drink upon check-in. 2. The hotel has its own restaurant and massage service. The Western food is not as good as it tastes, but it is not bad. The price of the food is 45, 671 yuan, and the drink is 20 or 30 yuan a piece. Massage is about a hundred dollars less than an hour. 3. The hotel is located on the beach. It is very relaxing to order a drink and sit in the restaurant by the beach for half a day. It feels like all the worries are taken away by the blue sea, blue sky and breeze. The children went to the beach to play in the water by themselves (pay attention to safety, our children are older, and we even took the diver's certificate here for 2,000 yuan, which is great value) 4. The people here are simple and honest, and there is no such intrigue. Adults and children will say hello to you when you walk on the road. A crew member's daily income is only about thirty or forty yuan a day, which is not enough to earn a living every day. So please try not to take advantage of them. Once, a crew member gave me a banana. I didn’t leave a tip after eating it (he didn’t show any need for me to tip). When I later found out about their income, I always regretted it. They were so poor. They are so generous to us, I should give a tip, they are very grateful for just two or three yuan. 5. However, the tap water on the island is salty, so sisters who love beauty can buy mineral water to wash their face in advance, otherwise the speed of darkening will be visible to the naked eye. The most common people I see here are families of three from Europe and the United States, with many children. The overall feeling is good value for money

Horrible resort, would NEVER stay here. This establishment does NOT act human. #1 I reached out to them via WhatsApp, and they take days to respond. This should have been a warning to the level of service they would have provided. However, we decided to make a booking anyways based on their history as a dive shop. #2 The day we were supposed to arrive, we leave cebu city. My wife is in the car turning pale white and about to faint so we change course and head to the hospital. We call them to change the date/request a refund but they give us a run around and ask us to send an email. We send an email and finally 3 days later there response was sorry no show no refund. These guys prefer money and greed over customer service.

We had a wonderful stay at Malapascua Exotica Dive Resort! The warm hospitality of the staff truly made our experience memorable, and the attention given to us by GM RJ was greatly appreciated. The food was delicious from start to finish, with each course perfectly prepared. Our favorites were definitely the desserts—especially the tiramisu and crepes. We’ll surely come back to stay here again!

We went to exotic for meals on a few occasions the food was very good the service was a little slow most of the staff were working very hard to serve the guests but one with a name tag Jackie just stud at the bar and told the staff what to do l think she should have served some of the guests as this would have helped the waiting times

It was long journey heading to Malapuscua but was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and welcome provided by the staff and dive crew of Malapuscua Exotic Island Dive Resort. Accommodation and dining was great. Dives were excellent with a professionally run dive center and our fantastic dive guide Wil. A dramatic trip it was however, where we had an unfortunate incident where one in the group was unwell and had to be hospitalised, needing immediate medical attention made worse by weather that had taken a turn. Am just grateful, that the staff of Exotic, in particular, General Manager RJ and Dive Centre Manager Julius coordinated evacuation from the island smoothly and managed to get us to a hospital in Cebu Mainland in time. RJ, really went beyond his responsibilities giving us significant assistance at the hospital and really saw it that my friend was well taken care of the Hospital Check-in till Check-out. Entire weekend of his own time went into attending to us with great patience and care. Many thanks RJ - We greatly appreciate your kindness and patience here. Definitely a place to revisit and to see our new found friends now at the resort. See you guys soon - gotten great pics and videos of the Thresher at Kimud Shoal but I still want to see the Tiger Shark at Monad Shoal :)
