Book a Naval Resort

"We had a nice ocean view it was a nice room . They helpeded us arrange our diving trips. A private beach. They did get a little too strict regarding entering the water . It was hard to walk on hot sand to get to snorkeling area. But we loved the place."

"Busy area, with lots of food options! Transportation was readily a available at the door as well as banking!"

"after 1st day i felt at home.staff were very nice and helpful, the dive boat crew were great also"

"Great dive hotel on a lovely beach. Communication prior to stay was excellent, room was clean and comfortable and bar restaurant was awesome. Most importantly, they were brilliant to dive with - the first boat out in the morning and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again when we’re next in Malapascua"

"Not at all like the pictures. Internet was awful. No fridge, bed was hard, one sheet, no blanket or comforter, coffee was instant, water was brackish, a lot of poverty, tried to put in awful room and shared bathroom, door fell off when I went to use it, paid for an ‘upgrade’ to have my own bathroom. Window in bathroom wouldn’t close. Go to one of the other hotels. "

"A great spot if you’re swimming and diving all day and just want a place to rest your head at night. But amenities are unfortunately not as stated. There’s no Wifi in the rooms despite what the website says, and the Wifi in the public area doesn’t work. Also, I took my backpack on an excursion with me one day, so the cleaning staff assumed I had left altogether. They removed my other belongings and gave my room to someone else even though I had reserved it for 3 more nights. An honest mistake, but I was very confused about why this happened."

"nice place and pretty view"

"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."

"My mother, my partner, and I booked this property for an 8 day stay. The property was more beautiful than the photos. The stay was clean and comfortable. My mother stayed in the first room while my partner and I enjoyed the second bedroom with a view of the backyard and ocean. Each room had a dedicated AC unit. While the property is shared, we didn't encounter the family much while we were there. They were helpful and hospitable if we needed anything. They kept the property very clean. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and basic appliances (coffee maker and microwave being what we used most.) The pool was a welcomed amenity. We were visiting my family who lives in nearby, rural Bato. The stay is near restaurants in Atipolo. (We visited Britea and Marvin's.) The location of the property is very close to Naval. It's about a 25-30 minute walk to the city center, but I'd recommend hiring a tricycle as the walk doesn't have much shade or pedestrian specific paths. There were usually a group of tricycles for hire only a 5 minute walk away. We needed a car and driver to travel for up to an hour away from the stay. They have car and driver dedicated to the stay as needed. This was very helpful. The driver was considerate and knowledgeable. He helped show us a few local spots and things to do. Overall, I highly recommend this stay. Me and my family will look to book here for our visits in the future."
