NEVER GO THERE!!!
The only positive side of this place is its location on the beach. Note that many other resorts such as Exotic Resort and Hippocampus have the same ideal location.

The staff is hardly friendly, the room looked clean in appearance but we quickly found spider webs, a dead cockroach below the sink and dirty hair in the shower from the previous customers.
I notified the reception about that but it had never been cleaned up.

The aircon is awefully noisy.
It took us 1h30 to get 5 sandwiches from the restaurant of the resort.

And last but not least, if you are still considering going to this place, the first thing you should check in the room is the shower. The room was supposed to be with hot shower but it was cold, and most of all there was no pressure at all.
At some point I was taking my shower with barely a few drops coming out of the shower head, and suddenly the water stopped. With all the soap on me I had to go “borrow” the shower of our friends’ room that had a little bit more pressure. Imagine if I was alone…

Of course I complained at the reception. The girl was very surprised and almost treated me a liar when she said it was the first time she heard something like that and that the previous customers never complained. After endless talking she finally agreed to give me a discount of 200 pesos and she said the staff will check the problem.
The next day the problem was exactly the same! I complained again and she said there was nothing she could do and treated me a liar again.
I told her I would heavily complain about this hotel and its management, writing bad reviews online. She said she didn’t care, and that if I was not happy I could get out and find myself another hotel.

The room we had was an aircon cottage with sea view and the price was 2800 pesos I think.
We went there in August 2009.
Be aware that the resort doesn’t have electricity from 11am to 5pm.
We came back twice to Malapascua after that and went to the Hippocampus Resort and to the Exotic Resort. All in all the best is definitely Exotic Resort.
