See our review from AABANA Beach and Watersport Resort page! "We headed to Malapascua to find relaxation and peace from tropical paradise and I think that we definately spotted the right place. We had stayed for a week in Bohol and right away when we arrived to Malapascua and saw the beach in Mike and Diose's place we realized that... More

Stayed here for 5 days in their cheapest room accommodation. It may be the cheapest but it has the best view, fronting the beach, among all other rooms in the place. (It was also one of the cheapest accomodation you can find in Malapascua.) The room is made of native materials like bamboo and nipa leaves which makes it very... More

Really glad we stayed here rather than the dive resorts. Mike is the most wonderful host, really good on the email communication and gives excellent and clear instruction on how to reach him. We stayed in one of the cottages, lovely clean large room. We had our own bathroom but it was outside the room. Wifi access is good and... More

We went there together with my friends and we just had the best stay wherein all the staff were so friendly and so accommodating. We were so comfortable having a very nice room. We hang out under the Talisay tree where you can see the beach front with white sand and you can feel the sea breeze which made us... More

My husband and two small children stayed at Mike and Diose's Beach Cottage for 5 nights in February. We would have stayed longer had we been smart about booking in advance. However, we had never been to Malapascua and did not know if we would like it or if it would be suitable for our 5 and 3 year old... More

My wife and I stayed in Casaviva for four nights during part of our honeymoon. My wife's brother and girlfriend stayed in Casabonita. Both cottages were clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The surrounding gardens were beautiful. The property includes a very nice beach front. Mike (the owner) was friendly and accommodating as was his staff. We enjoyed our stay very much... More

As someone who likes to leave very little to chance when travelling, I have used Tripadvisor reviews with great success over the years and stayed in some amazing places. Having decided that Malapascua would be an ideal place for my partner, her daughter and I to spend Christmas together this year to help me recover from heart surgery, my research... More

Mike owns this gem place and runs with Malapascua local staff. We found this place on tripadvisor one week before we went there, it turned out to be an extremely pleasing stay, so far the best out of all my travels! The place is off the busier leg and stands on an pretty exclusive beach on the south end. Quiet,... More
