Top Hotels in Daanbantayan with Spas

Due to a last minute decision, to sqeeze in a few nights at Malapascua Island, the better hotels like Tepanee were already booked out. Pro: + top location at the cliffs at western end of Bounty Beach, just a few minutes walk away from the restaurants + friendly and helpful staff + spacious Deluxe Suite w/ ocean view, overlooking the entire Bounty Beach while sitting on the balcony + fair room rates + arrangement of private car transfer from/to Cebu Airport on request was reliable and at a very reasonable rate +/- simple but ok breakfast Underwhelming: - very sp****ly furnitured ”Deluxe” suite - not bedside lamps and tables, not bedside light switch, no amenities other than a little shampoo bag and 2 t-paper rolls, kind of careless - bathroom wasn't clean at arrival, crooked bathroom door hinge. Bathroom door cold only be closed by application of force - during low tide very shallow, not swimmable beach Not the fault of the owner is a misleading foto, posted by a fellow traveller, that shows a swimming pool, which looks very nice. The only problem is, that it is from whatever Blue Corals Hotels elsewhere on the planet. But defo not from Blue Corals Malapascua, which neither has a pool, nor pretends to have one. I got trapped by this foto, too. Bottom line: Hotel ok for 3-5 nights, when the price is right, but not sure if I would book again.

Featuring 3-star accommodation, johandive is set in Daanbantayan, a few steps from Bounty Beach and less than 1 km from Logon Beach. The hotel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The units at the hotel come with a seating area. Every room has air conditioning, and certain units at johandive have a terrace. Bool Beach is 2.1 km from the accommodation. The nearest airport is Mactan-Cebu International Airport, 137 km from johandive.

We arrived at the hotel with two bikes and baggage driven by rooms. No reception, delivery of keys in the hand and driven to our room. It was good that the room was comfortable, clean and very spacious, and in the bathroom c was the shower heating, which was not recently. It was also a diving center but no one was uncomfortable to offer something to us, my husband and I went to dive, and we asked for a boat to rent, but we waited for nothing for someone to get us. The restaurant is so, but no one wants to take a scooter to cross the streets in the middle of the bars. The positive note was the unique beach in all that landfill to be called beach, but the coral barrier destroyed by the boats, and the fruit cocktails and smoothies to enjoy on the beach. This island was a great disappointment, given the distance and time to reach us, you could have gone to some other island to end in beauty with nature and dives. It takes a lot more than 3 hours to get out of Cebu with a private taxi driver, risking life every meter. To get to the island you are forced to go on boat that if you get that on the way as our life risks (I have two nautical cards I know what I say) my husband's little nn you're gonna ruin a leg by going on boat because after you put us on foot you're gonna be And it was thrown down and thrown down to the knee, and all this we paid for; and in three nights we made only two, and less bad, because the boat, if it is in few, decided not to take you from the other side. I'm sorry, but my impression was negative. I repeat the location of the north is fine but I have to put more effort on it. Sorry for the shark will be for another time elsewhere

Que buena elección fue quedarnos alojados en Slam's Garden Resort y bucear con ellos con Oceans Passions. Están los dos en el mismo sitio. El alojamiento es de 10, limpísimo, con piscina y se come genial. Y el centro de buceo es de 10 también. Equipos en perfecto estado, muy buenos instructores y guías de buceo, muy atentos a todo. Recomiendo totalmente qued**** alojados y bucear con ellos. Toda la gente que trabaja en ambos sitios es genial, y además tienen perros bien cuidados 🙂 Muchas gracias por todo Santiago! Un placer!
