Lovely Property

Great central location on Malapascua. Very handy to be able to charge food and bar tab to room at Ocean Vida on the beachfront. Breakfast was wonderful too. Only one downside was that the a/c in our sons bedroom was noisy and did not cool the room down. Otherwise a great stay :)

Buena Vida is a beautiful resort. It has a beautiful vibe and very cozy and homey feel. The staff and cleaners all made us feel welcome upon arrival and made sure we felt comfortable and that we were free to ask for anything we needed at any time throughout our stay. We were also able to request a romantic package which is perfect for couples. It includes a spa massage, a private jacuzzi and an intimate dinner for two which is perfect for anniversary celebration. I highly recommend Buena Vida resort if you are planning on making a visit to Malapascua Island. We cant wait to be back.

정말 좋아요!!!!

이가격에 이만한 숙소 구하기 힘들어요 직원들 엄청 친절하고 객실 내부도 깨끗해요 다만 섬이라 그런지 물이 좀 짜고 바퀴벌레가 두세마리 보여요 근데 이건 이 섬 어느 숙소를 가도 똑같을 거라 생각되요 ㅋㅋ 밖에 해먹도 좋고 마사지 받는곳에 자쿠지도 신청하면 이용 할 수 있는데 진짜 좋아요 :) 앗, 그리고 조식은 기대하지 않는게 좋아요

또 이용하고 싶은 아름다운 공간.

친절한 스탭. 아름다운 공간. 해변에서 약간 떨어져 있지만 마켓과는 가까워요. 수압이 약한 편이고 테라스에 모기가 많지만 모두 감내할 만큼 좋은 시간 이였습니다. 감사합니다.

그럭저럭

조용한것은 장점. 마사지는 훌륭했다. 화장실 크고 어메니티 괜찮은편 개인 외부공간에 파리가 너무많아 즐기지 못했다 아침조식 맛없다 오션비다까지 식사하러 나가는게 불편하다. 5분 거리인데도 모래길이라 힘들었다 중앙에 나무들 관리상태 엉망

Amazing days!

It was amazing! We loved our stay at Buena Vida. Wish we could have stayed there from the beginning of our trip to Malapascua. The staff Were so kind and service minded. The breakfast was super, the environment and the room was trendy and fresh! Truly recommend to travelers!
Petter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Tillägg till tidigare recension: Den godaste frukosten på hela resan med färska juicer, pannkaka, ägg, overnight oats etc. Fick personliga hälsningar på dörren varje kväll med lite sött vilket var uppskattat. Gratis vatte påfyllning. Sköna sängar och bra AC. Väldigt trevlig personal som var väldigt service minded. Bra med beach handdukar varje dag. Kommer definitivt bo på buena vida nästa gång!

Il posto giusto

l' hotel non è sulla spiaggia, ma comunque vicinissimo , a due passi praticamente, è una piccola oasi verde, super consigliato

Underbar resort

Underbar resort bara ca 2 min gång från stranden. Mysiga rum med stor veranda att softa i. Personalen är supertrevlig och massagen är väldigt bra. Testade yoga 2 ggr vilket var väldigt uppskattat. Nackdelarna är att det är rätt mkt mygg (men de ger gratis myggmedel) och det är ljud från tuppar och katter dygnet runt.
