Avila's Horizon Dive Resort Malapascua

The property was nice and clean Garden was lovely Right on the beach

Bar and restaurant closes at 8.00 pm which is pretty early .

Clean

Expensive Food

Beachfront location with a divecentre onsite. Nice, simple rooms, clean and well equipped. The divecentre has a boat onsite and it is quick and easy to go diving. The guides were professional and the equipment looked new or well maintained.

I was not informed I could re-use and refill my water bottle at the bar; on my last day I was made aware of this but still don't know if it was a courtesy or policy to do this - anyway I am trying to reduce the use of plastic as much as I can so I was surprised there were no water distributors on site. Quite expensive meals onsite but there are small stores and a nice restaurant next door. Insufficient amount of sunbeds for the amount of guests - I had to lie on the sand rather than under an umbrella when I wanted to sunbathe.

I like that the breakfast it’s included, I ordered every day the pancakes, they were amazing, a big amount. The pomelo juice was nice but too sweet. The place it’s in front of the best beach in malapascua, the staff were very nice and there it’s a pool table to play and beach loungers 😌

I didn’t like the share bathroom, it’s really small, you don’t have space to take a normal shower and it’s salty. The bedroom was really small aswell and the bed it was in the floor. About the restaurant, once I ordered a mango shake and it was really fluid like a juice and 70% of the glass was ice, it was ridiculous the amount of juice and I told them, but they didn’t care, they don’t care to improve the standard quality service. For $220 pesos was the most expensive “shake” I took in the Philippines

Very nice, chill place. Absolutely loved the stay. Would recommend

Best resort on the island and also the excellent dive center.

Location, staff, cleanliness,food.

The ROOSTERS waking you up every morning 3am onwards!! DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOURE A LIGHT SLEEPER. RUINED MY SLEEP FOR BOTH NIGHTS.

Everything was perfect. Would HIGHLY recommend. The resort is right on the beach with available beanbags and sunbeds with shaded areas, the staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Beach is fine white sand and very clean and well maintained, water is calm and good for children and you can see some starfishes if ur lucky. They have a diving centre although I didn’t try it out, I’ve heard very good things from other people that have tried out diving with them. They also have a restaurant.

The menu prices are a bit high especially considering the prices aren’t including the 12% VAT plus 5% fee for foreign card transactions which is essentially 17% added onto your bill. The location on the beach is amazing although a bit far from the main strip but only 50 pesos per person to get to the strip on the back of a bike. Regardless of this I would still stay here again because there’s a cafe and a place that does a great bbq with rice and other food for a cheaper price - neighbours to the resort on either side along the beach. The location of the strip being a bike ride away didn’t bother me at all because everything I needed was right there at the resort and there are also a few little shops 5 minute walking distance outside of the resort.
