Daanbantayan Beach Hotels

"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"

"The boat to Mama Island was temporarily closed, and there is this one near the pier. Most resort hotels are locals, there is no choice for eating, the taste can also be slightly higher, call tutu to the Maya Pier 100 people The facilities are old, the air conditioner is the kind of manual hahaha"

"Excellent staff, polite and helpful. When we booked the room, it was the first floor, but when we arrived, they settled us on the second floor with a sea view. It was very nice. Since people come to Malapascua mainly for diving, having a place to dry equipment is extremely necessary. We had a balcony where we could do this on the last day after diving. And the main thing is that after lunch the sun goes to the other side and there was shade on our side. It is important to wake up at dawn in order to admire the beautiful view and have time to put away the equipment. :) The hotel makes breakfasts for the time you specify. If you go out to sea at 6 am, then having made an order for 5 am, it will be waiting for you at the reception hot. I recommend!"

"The service is almost non-existent, the black guy is openly discriminating, the wifi signal is too poor to connect, the meat for breakfast is canned food sold at 40p a can in the supermarket, the decoration is simple and can only be considered OK in the Philippines, there is no quilt on the bed, only sheets, and the sea view room has to climb stairs from the hotel entrance to the room, which is very tiring"

"We had a wonderful time at this place—I believe it’s the best spot in the area. It was my wife’s birthday, so we booked a beachfront seaside room. Everything was perfect, from the early check-in (before 2 p.m.) to the recommendations about the island and the exceptional service throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The breakfast was excellent, especially by Philippine standards, with plenty of healthy options and fresh vegetables. The hotel also has its own bar, sun chairs, and a great atmosphere for relaxing."

"It is a bit inconvenient that the hotel does not have breakfast. You need to walk to the restaurant of another hotel, Ocean Vida, to have breakfast. The balcony of the room is large and comfortable."

"Hotel location is particularly good, just at the pier! Get off the boat! It is convenient to go anywhere, similar to the middle position. However, the infrastructure is relatively poor, and it is a bit dirty. Although it is cleaned every day, it is clean, but it is really hard, it is always dirty. It is inevitable to take some sand off the shoes. No mineral water~ the most important In order to save money, I didn't have an air-conditioned room. It was really hot and sad. At night, the front desk was a bit like a bar. It was a bit noisy, but it was okay, not too late, and you know that diving is too tired and you will sleep very quickly."

"A good 5-star hotel with a large pool, private stables, a farm, a small zoo, a wonderful fitness center, a large pool, and an ATV track. The buffet breakfast isn't very varied, but it has everything you need. It's modest, but delicious. The staff is polite, friendly, and welcoming. Prices in the restaurant and spa are extremely reasonable (for a 5-star hotel). There are both guest rooms and separate villas with private pools. The villa is excellent, spacious, with a king-size bed, a bathroom, plenty of windows, a large (for a private) pool, and a beautiful sea view. During our visit, the shoreline was littered with trash, which completely discouraged swimming (thankfully, there was a private pool in the villa, as well as a large shared pool at the hotel). The area was also littered with leaves from the numerous ficus trees on the property. I assume this was due to the recent typhoons, which washed a lot of seaweed, branches, and debris from the sea onto the shore. The hotel staff was actively involved in cleaning throughout our stay. Overall, the hotel grounds are well-kept and attractive, with trimmed lawns and well-maintained trees. The grounds, mind you, are very large, requiring a significant staff to maintain them."

"1. The beach is good, the best in Malapuskua; 2. The location is inconvenient, far from the pier and the market, there are no shops nearby, decent places where you can dine, not at the hotel, either; 3. Food in the hotel restaurant is expensive (1.5-2 times higher than on the south side) and poorly prepared; 4. It is better not to take breakfast - either rotten ham or burnt rice; 5. Upon arrival, you will be surprised to learn that you need to sign a document with a bunch of ”not allowed” - in particular, do not bring anything to eat and drink into the room, only bought from them at three prices, otherwise the ”cork” fi in the amount of 1000 pesos and a lot of things from 10-12 points; 6. The rooms are clean, the plumbing is in good condition, there is hot water with a very low degree of salinity; 7. In general, all the negative reviews on the Google map for the hotel are true. I do not recommend the hotel for booking, only if the priority is to have a good beach."

"This is a great location if you want to chill out. There are no roosters, and the road noise isn't too bad. But you need to go to the town to eat. It looks like it hasn't been finished because the room has good fixtures but needs a cupboard and hot water (it wasn't too cold ) The service was helpful. ."
