Pros: The ambiance of the place is good and relaxing. It gave us the "Bali feels" we're looking for. Staff were amiable and accommodating. Our room was clean and spacious. Food served at the buffet table tasted good. Cons: Location is a bit far from the beach. The pathway and Jacuzzi area were too bushy (need to trim down a little). Too many mosquitoes (but they are providing repellents which is good). Variety of food in breakfast buffet. But overall rating for Buena Vida is great! Recommendable for guests going to Malapascua.
