Malapascua Island is certainly pretty with white sandy beaches and palm trees. There is nothing else on the island except dive resorts and the local village. The Exotic resort is located down one end of the beach which gives it a private secluded feel. The dive operation is very well run, the boats are roomy and most have a toilet.... More

Stayed for 3 nights here with my fiancé last week and spent a thousand dollar for divings and room rental. Foods are great but super expensive. I can recommend this place for European tourists who are looking for a place that suit their lifestyles and way if living. We had a peaceful sleep on our stay..the room was spacious and... More

We started our holiday in Malapascua at this resort that was the most expensive. It was rated 3 and 4 star depending on different web sites. We arrived after 2 days on travel and the room was not ready despite the promised check in time. So we sat down in teh restaurnat to wait and use the wiifi, but it... More

Stayed here for 2 nights, the location is just amazing. Right on the famous diving spot area of Malapascua, you cannot get a better location. Rooms, especially the toilets need big time improvement. We stayed in a suite & the toilet was stinking & water getting clogged. Food has good variety. Overall excellent if u improve the room, it is... More

I'd have to say that Exotic is the best in the island. We stayed in the newly built beachside rooms. It still had the slight smell of paint. The room is large and the bathroom is also spacious. It has a flat screen TV which didn't work and well, we never stayed much in the room to be watching TV... More

We stayed at the exotic for 6 days in our round trip through the Pilipinas, and it was one of our favourite locations. The island has a very layed back atmosphere to it with some nice bars and hangouts. Do go into the village behind the resorts also, it's worth it... The room at exotic was perfect, next to the...

Considering how remote this place is, it was surprisingly easy to get to. The resort people picked me up at the Cebu airport. It was late at night and raining. The resort called and said it would be unsafe to cross the bay given the weather, so they took me to a different hotel in Cebu for the night. Exotic... More

We were supposed to visit Philippines to attend a conference on Dugong conservation in February 2013 and decided to head there a few days earlier to dive with Thresher Sharks which are found near Malapascua Island. We researched a few reports on Malapascua and decided on this one because it had the dive center right there at the resort. And... More

Writing this review from the perspective of having paid for a deluxe room- 3300 pesos. We wouldn't have normally paid this much, but it was high season and there wasn't much else available, and I thought maybe it would be worth it. It was an absolute rip off: room was really horrible. Right at the back on the resort, no... More
