Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: ​The hotel, service, and hospitality are very good. It is one of the best places in Malapascua, although I didn’t like the island itself.
Negative: ​Malapascua is a joke. It’s not a paradise island, but a garbage dump. There is trash everywhere—on the streets and in backyards. The locals burn trash all the time, and the smell of smoke is all over the island; it even gets into the rooms. The only option for tourists is to stay on the coastline where there is a sea breeze. In the middle of the island, the smoke is everywhere and is unbearable. I wouldn’t have come here if I had known about these conditions. The best thing people can do is not come here, so the locals are forced to address the problem, gain some awareness, and make it work better.
Summary: Good hotel on terrible island where trash and smoke is a big problem
