Malapascua Exotic Island Dive and Beach Resort
Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort was perfect for our seven night stay diving in the Philippines. We loved the thresher sharks, saw our first tiger shark, and had an outstanding adventure at Gato Island. The local dives have beautiful soft corals and are full of life. The dive shop is extremely organized and professional, took care of our gear for every dive and, since we opted to dive nitro, we had a personal dive guide for most of our visit. The dive boats are extremely comfortable and spacious. The food was tasty and the "full board" menu was quite comprehensive but it would have been nice to have also tried some of the specialities off of their extensive menu. Our room was overlooking the beach with a wrap around balcony that was perfect for our needs. The airport transfer was seamless in both directions from/to Cebu and the hotel understood the time constraints that happen at certain peak hours because of traffic....it took us four hours on the way down and just under three hours on the way back early in the morning. The WIFI was available at central locations. The beach is beautiful and perfect for swimming, the moonrise from our beachside dinner spot was amazing! We had a great time and plan on returning!
