Room was great, loved the front porch area, had a rack to dry dive gear. Staff was really nice

 Was to stay 3 nights but due to Cyclone and possibility of being stranded on island only stayed one night. Room had two twin beds and very nice balcony with hammock, couch and chairs. You face an inside wooded area with other rooms. Chickens are very loud in the morning. Shower is nice, shampoo and body wash provided, no conditioner. Beds were small and a bit shaky, also bed on right you had to move to get at plug to try and charge your electronics. We only slept there one night but I awoke with a tingly sensation in my hand which ended up turning into about 20 welts. It was the hand I sleep on under my pillow so unsure what bug got me (bedbugs, ants, ?) But since it didn't appear till after we left the island that day I couldn't look at the bed and try and figure it out. I know there were ants in the room since you could see them coming under the door but if it was ants I would think more than just my hand would have been bit. It is about a 6 minute walk to their breakfast and dive shop. We didn't dive with them or have breakfast due to early morning dive with Evolution. We did have dinner once and lunch once at Ocean Vida which was excellent. Didn't get to enjoy any of the amenities due to our short stay here.

Towels smell very good, bed quality excellent.

Great central location on Malapascua. Very handy to be able to charge food and bar tab to room at Ocean Vida on the beachfront. Breakfast was wonderful too. Only one downside was that the a/c in our sons bedroom was noisy and did not cool the room down. Otherwise a great stay :)

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.

Very friendly staff. Nice ambiance. Very relaxing garden view. Very good food and refreshments. I will stay here again.

Love our stay here, their spa is the best!! We will be back

It was amazing! We loved our stay at Buena Vida. Wish we could have stayed there from the beginning of our trip to Malapascua. The staff Were so kind and service minded. The breakfast was super, the environment and the room was trendy and fresh! Truly recommend to travelers!

Breakfast is more monotonous take a shower is 1 minute hot water 1 minute cold water Everything else is satisfactory SPA is very comfortable!!!!!

We were very happy staying at Buena Vida. The place was clean and comfortable and to me what made it great was that the staff was so helpful and polite especially the main receptionist we called her “Nelly”. The bedroom was well equipped and the breakfast was delicious, and there is a resting area for own room with couches and a hammock
