Overall, while the amenities are nice and the staff is quite courteous, communication is poor and the prices are well above the island average. This includes the prices at the hotel, restaurant, and dive center. I ended up eventually changing resorts, eating at other restaurants, and using an alternate dive center. If you decide to stay here, I did enjoy the deluxe ocean view room, but unless you’re spending immense amounts of time in your room, perhaps seek other options for your stay and especially diving. The restaurant is quite tasty and reasonable, but there are also other options worthy of trying. Overall with regards to value, meh. 5 or 6 out of 10.

We booked the garden room due to full capacity so we didn’t have the best view, however, it had all the basic stuff we needed. The bathroom is outdated but that’s to be expected in the islands. The location is right on bounty which was the highlight. The staff were also great :) however, the breakfast is the same everyday, we hoped they would switch it up.

We had a very bad experience being left at the port on the way to Malapascua and I'm hoping Ocean Vida and Hotels.com does the right thing. We took our flight from Manila to Cebu and took the 4 hour van ride (coordinated with the hotel) only to be left stranded at the port due to weather conditions. We spent the night at a room by the port, paid extra fees for this, and waited the next day as per the hotel and boat captain's instructions. As of 11am the next day the boat left us behind at the port.
