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.

We were very happy staying at Buena Vida. The place was clean and comfortable and to me what made it great was that the staff was so helpful and polite especially the main receptionist we called her “Nelly”. The bedroom was well equipped and the breakfast was delicious, and there is a resting area for own room with couches and a hammock

Me and my girlfriend spent two nights here and they were so accommodating. This was the favourite part of our trip to Philippines , the canyoneering is a must do when you’re there !! Ken was so helpful he drove us around everywhere we wanted to go and also took us to a few waterfalls we didn’t know about which turned out to be awesome. I couldn’t rate these guys any higher an overall fantastic experience thank you

Highly recommended
From the moment we arrived at Buena Vida, we were treated like royalty. All the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. October is a very quiet time of year so there weren't many guests there. The breakfast each morning was freshly prepared al a carte (amazing bacon). Because the weather was quite poor, we enjoyed 3 of the free sessions of yoga and a number of good quality spa sessions. Ocean Vida, the sister hotel, at the beach has a good restaurant and bar area which we enjoyed and we used Sea Explorers next door for a great dive trip. Malapascua feels very unspoilt and if you walk up to the beach in the north of the island, you pass through everyday village life (which includes a lot of cockerels, pigs and dogs). A very pleasant relaxing stay.

Great stay
Nice small hotel. The staff were fantastic and quickly arranged activities that we were interested in. We loved the balcony. The hotel is a short walk from the beach but the hotel's partnership with Ocean Vida made beach access easy. The only negative was the weak and inconsistent wifi. I would definitely stay here again.

A little piece of paradise
The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It's in a beautiful garden setting and a very short two minute walk to the beach. A great place to unwind after a swim and some sunbaking during the day, which you can do at their partner hotel right on the beach. The breakfast is great and the rooms always clean, comfortable and spacious. We loved our own little private verandah with hammock as well. It's your perfect getaway!
