Malapascua Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Friendly staff and a chill atmosphere."

"We had a wonderful stay at Crown Malapascua. Just a few minutes walk from the main port and perfectly situated near the markets, restaurants, and several dive shops it’s a highly convenient place to stay in Malapascua. It is also situated on a hill and after taking a few of the big steps up towards the reception area, it feels serene and completely separated from the hustle and bustle of the road below. Hotel is also very communicative should anything arise. In our case, the owner discovered an event was relocated to the community center near the property and the noise would negatively impact our stay. She promptly let us know and offered options should we decide to seek accommodations elsewhere. We very much appreciated this, recognized it wasn’t the hotel’s fault, and opted to stay. Fortunately we can sleep through anything and knowing it was coming made it less annoying. Room is spacious, beds are comfy, AC works great, nice views of the island treetops from the balconies, and the staff are super helpful and nice. Would stay again!"

"very clean and well maintained. a great value and a very central location"

"Best diving in the area. Trustworthy, professional dive staff were top notch. Met some great friends. Was a nice chill vibe and we never worse shoes the whole time so consider that a win. "

"Great stay close to the ferry pier. The dining/breakfast area had a great view and wonderfully cool breezes. Hot water was a bit on and off and a minor gripe... the a/c and fan were great but it would be nice to have something slightly thicker than a sheet to sleep under ... or an extra blanket. Otherwise a very enjoyable hotel!"
