Guest Reviews
- Martha (6/5): - El servicio es muy bueno, todo el personal hace su máximo esfuerzo
Falta mucho mantenimiento a las habitaciones
Entiendo que es una isla con muchas limitaciones pero si van a cobrar como un hotel con estándares internacionales deberían mejorar en el mantenimiento de las habitaciones, checar que todo funcione bien, en mi habitación el aire acondicionado no servía correctamente, tuvimos agua caliente a veces y a veces no, la caja de seguridad no funciona, es un tema pedir amenidades extras, deberían ser un poco más flexibles.
Tienen un costo excesivo por el traslado privado de cebu al hotel y de regreso y después tienes que pagar propinas y fees de puerto etc cuando vimos que otras agencias cobran mucho menos y ya incluyen eso, pequeños detalles si ya están ofreciendo un precio muy alto deberían de dar un servicio excelente en esa parte del traslado.
La comida es buena.
No recomiendo contratar el traslado privado es muy caro hay otras opciones que hacen el mismo servicio por mucho menos precio
Pidan habitaciones que den a la parte de enfrente del hotel no a la parte del restaurante la vista es horrible a un cementerio y a una construcción en donde tienes gente viendo a tu balcón todo el día y ruido.
Es una isla para ir sino eres exigente y te gusta lo básico no es una isla como otras del mundo que tienen comodidades es más cara que el resto del país y a mi parecer vale la pena para bucear con tiburones y listo
- Gloria Hiu Wing (8/5): - Clean and quiet room. Staffs are helpful.
- Stacy (10/5): - Warm greetings from the reception and owner. Rooms cleaned and refreashed every day. Has a fridge with cold beer for 100 pesos. Excellent. We ate at the restaurant every night as the food was great and breakfast plentiful and assortments. Staff was all were very friendly. The owers are always near by and make you feel welcome. We really enjoyed are stay!
Thank you all at Blanco
- Christian (10/5): - Sehr schönes Hotel. Gute Lage. Sehr nettes Personal. Direkt am Strand.
- Lluis (10/5): - Hotel bien ubicado, delante de la playa, con hamacas y servicio de bar a primerar linea, vistas al aterdecer. Habitaciones sencillas pero limpias y correctas.
- Doughlas (6/5): - Room rate was kinda high for the area
- Lee (6/5): - Over all it was a good resort but the price of the room was expensive for what it was. The food at the resort was good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel is a bit pricey for the facilities offered. However, the staff and service offered were excellent.
- Adevoso O. (10/5): - The resort staff are very accommodating. The property itself the surrounding and the bedrooms are well keep and clean. It feels like I’m in Greece. The. Continental breakfast are excellent you have a choice of American. Italian or Filipino. The property owners are wonderful hosts. The only drawback for me is I have to go through so much stairs but every steps is well worth it. It really is a beautiful place to stay if you like quiet and secluded area.
- Eimear (10/5): - Lovely relaxing spot - great staff / great food!
- Richard (10/5): - A part of me wants to say this is not a place to visit because it is such a chem. But in fairness to the folks and property, I cannot do that. Staff are amazing, a light breakfast offering is just right to the start the day. Fantastic views from almost every room. Walking distance to eateries, bars, local shopping spots. Thanks to staff for making our stay amazing.
- Jan (10/5): Hidtil bedste morgenmad i Filippinerne - Blanco Beach var præcis, hvad vi ønskede og forventede. Lækre omgivelser, gåafstand til by og madmarked, tæt på båden til Maya, strand på begge sider af hotellet, nabo til Tepanee husrevet, hvor du kan snorkle med små revhajer.
Vores bedste anbefaling.
- Ricardo (8/5): We will be back - Maybe I missed it but if I had known that the ferry stopped running at 5:30, we would have gotten an earlier flight, that mistake cost me $200 USD, it seems that I only became aware of that after I made the reservation, I could be wrong, their prices for tours are all in line with what locals charge, the 3,000 php increase or $60 USD for gas is way high due to price of fuel increase, they don't even use half a tank, the hotel staff is great all the way around and accommodating, the setting is beautiful and the breakfast is very appealing, for some strange reason you won't get creamer for your coffee but kitchen staff will give you milk, highly recommend the trip to Kalanggaman Island
- YI-JU (10/5): 非常驚豔的住宿體驗 - 這裡實在太美了!
服務人員也非常熱情貼心
從房間打開有個美麗的陽台,直接面向大海。
更重要的是,飯店有自己的私人海灘,那是一個非常美麗愜意的海灘。
有機會一定要再訪。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great sunset view with location close enough to - but away from the main beach hustle. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast!!!
- Roxane (8/5): Great hotel but avoid the private transfer - The hotel itself is great, clean and the staff is very nice. Rooms are comfortable and the air conditioning os a blessing!
Be aware that as Malapascua is a small island you won't find the greatest comfort there. For example, you will shower and brush your teeth with salted water. That is a bit surprising at first!
The only issue we got really was with the private transfer (car + boat arranged by the hotel) where mysterious fees and forced tips appeared here and there. The price is already crazy expensive, you would imagine that everything is included in it...
- Morten Jennet (10/5): Hyggeligt og roligt resort - Nydeligt hotel med imødekommende og hjælpende personale.
Vi kom i ydersæsonen, hvor der var god tid til at kræse om de relativt få gæster på det lille, hyggelige resort tæt på strandbredden, hvor bådene til øen lægger til.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was good I was totally chilled out.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Decor and the rooms were amazing. Some days I didn't want to leave the hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 除了網路很弱真的沒什麼好挑剔的,只住兩夜真的不夠!
- Gustaf (6/5): Underbart för dykare! (Annars nej...) - Otroligt fin ö, definitionen av paradis. Däremot så är det inte för alla. Då vi inte är intresserade av snorkling/dykning så insåg vi snabbt att vi kommit fel. Rekommenderar att tänka om ifall detta även stämmer in på dig. Utöver det så är detta ett toppenhotell som har perfekt läge på ön. Väldigt bra rum, rent, snyggt, bra wifi och framförallt en otrolig utsikt. Frukosten var inget att hurra för, önskas iallafall smör och pålägg till brödet samt mer frukt. Hotellets strand var lugn och skön men det är väldigt svårt att bada i havet där. Såg även en del farliga maneter där då dom trivs runt korallerna. Vi är nöjd med vårt val av hotell men inte ö...
- Verified traveler (10/5): Immaculate - The resort is immaculate. Our room has a gorgeous view (room 7) and the garden is beautiful and very well maintained. The room is modern and bright which I love. The bed and the pillows are comfortable. The staff are the best, friendly, polite and cheerful. They have just enough selection for breakfast which is just perfect for a little operation like Blanco. Remember it's not a 5 star resort so don't expect a 5 star breakfast spread.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr schöner Sonnen/ Strandbereich. Der eigene Strand ist nicht schön jedoch kann man den wunderhübschen Strand des Nebenressorts mitbenutzen. Sehr ruhige und entspannende Lage. Personal ist sehr nett. Essen ist ok. Zimmerausstattung nicht wie auf Fotos
- Anass (10/5): Great stay - Great stay at Blanco Beach resort.
Rooms are really nice and the Seaview was also great. Breakfast was very good although it would be better to have a real toster for the bread rather than the current machine which is not efficient and very slow.
Staff was very nice and helpful.
The private beach they mention to you is not a real beach for me as it is mainly rocks and it is very difficult to go have a siwm there, it is more a sand area with beach chairs to relax with a nice view.
The restaurants around are nice (especially Amihan).
- David (6/5): Hacen falta puertas selladas - Las puertas de las habitaciones no estavan selladas. Eso permitia la entrada de lagartijas que por la noche hacían mucho ruido y dificultaban poder dormir bien. La ubicación es buena.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bra läge - Hotellet ligger välplacerat på en kulle mellan två stränder. Bra möjlighet att bada både vid ebb och flod. Trevliga strandsängar och parasoller. Fin trädgård med många trappor och bra utsikt från de enkla rummen. Bra garderob, dålig dusch med antingen kallt eller hett vatten, tråkiga handukar( som skurtrasor ). Mycket bra frukost i vacker miljö. Störande cigarettrök.
- JohnDelaPaz (10/5): - The Blanco Beach Resort provides great amenities for travelers who expect a safe, clean, reliable, friendly and proficient customer caring services. We really think that we could have stayed there for at least a week because the resort is so pristine and enchanting. The restaurant is thoughtfully designed for breakfast buffet and selections are plentiful. Access to Swimming in the nearby beach from is so convenient and close. The ocean view was spectacular - We had a very lovely suite and are so happy with the value for money - it is such a romantic and spacious unit with a terrace. The location is a worthy 3 hour drive from the airport. We appreciate the drive through the Northern Cebu area as there are very interesting communities that you pass along the way.
When we return to the Blanco Beach Resort it will be for a week. The people, landscape, beaches and culture of Malapascua are unforgettable!!
- Anne-Kristin (10/5): Beautiful place - Stayed here for one week and had a lovely time. The resort is so beautiful and the staff is very friendly and service-minded. The room was spacious and very clean. Think this must be the nicest resort on Malapascua and would very much recommend it.
- Clare (10/5): Great beachfront location - We really enjoyed our stay at Blanco! The room was lovely and the staff were very helpful, they helped us to arrange a trip to Kalangaman and our taxi back to Cebu City - thank you!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful small ressort for relaxing! - Great and quiet place. Recommended for couples. Room with awesome view, nice and modern. Friendly and helpful staff. Location is perfect, restaurants nearby, beach on both sides. Small but lovely made private beach (unfortunately the beach was not pur sand and access to the waterfront difficult due to stones). More for relaxing and enjoying the view in a cozy area. Definitely worth a visit!
- Hjalmar (10/5): Nice view - Nice view from the room, great location.
- Jonathan (10/5): Great hotel. - Beautiful and well mantained. Nice ocean view. Rooms were thoroughly cleaned every day. Friendly staff actively trying to make our stay perfect
- Davie (10/5): - Andreas and his staff were just lovely, and this resort is exceptionally comfortable and close to the best restaurants. They even invited all guests to their staff Christmas Party. I loved staying here. I staying here based on reviews and I’m glad I did.
- Jie (10/5): perfect for holiday relaxing - very comfortable room with balcony of sea view. good service. breakfast on the beach. perfect restaurants surrounded.
- Hans (4/5): Unpleasant stay - We had a sew view room low placed and had more garden view than sea view...just above a new construction going on. Very loud nois all day of drilling and hammering all over the place including the beach area. The owner hide behind the staff when complaining and was invisible until we left. Asked for compensation but refused...Even so the room was nice and kleen with a little patio. The breakfast was outstanding and the very best on our 1 month travel in the Philippines. To go swimming here you must be fit to jump on corals to reach the cristal clear water. Along the beach it's a small cementary...
I recommend do NOT go to Blanco Beach Resort, go to the resort next door.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 总的来说挺不错的,酒店也很新. 有个小缺点就是酒店建在有坡度的地方 要走上走下. 年纪大的话有点辛苦,但是问题不是很大. 还有,我的房间wifi信号时有时无(因为它不是每个房间都有独立的wifi信号,而是需要分享)
- Leanne (10/5): Good overall value - We really felt welcome and safe at the hotel, very accommodating and you have a beautiful view from any room! Would recommend here over the neighboring resorts
- Prash (8/5): Great Stay - Great hotel and location! Staff are polite and friendly. And easily accessible to dive centers. Newly build hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice clean hotel - Short stay in a nice clean hotel
Very friendly staff, especially the reception
Helpful
Great view from the upper rooms
Breakfast is ok also, nothing special though
Would recommend if you want a quiet relaxing hotel
Location is also good
Not for a typical beach holiday
- Verified traveler (6/5): hotel on beach - WiFi only functioning intermittently and then it is very slow and unreliable. Poor security - only a flimsy lock to close door. No additional locking mechanisms. Anyone with a key can enter at any time. Room not aired and smelled of fresh paint.
- Michel (10/5): Beautiful hotel! Great location - Beautiful location, the staff is very friendly. Breakfast is good, room is comfortable and really nice designed. Will definitely come back!
- Mick (6/5): Steps, steps, steps... - Steep climb up steps entering from front or back..
Rooms got hot really quick if the (small) air conditioner wasn’t on 24/7. Only one power card provided so it was inevitably hot whenever we came back.
We came back during a heavy shower one night and my partner fell heavily on the stairs. Insufficient lighting and stair risers painted black contributed to this in a big way. Very poor lighting for the number of stairs and an outright hazard for elderly people.
- maojordan (10/5): Lovely place. - I stayed at Blanco more than a week with my wife&baby and we can't write anything bad about this resort built on the south-west promontory of the island and facing the sea off a lovely private beach (the Bounty beach is 2 mins walking distance). It comes with a dozen rooms with balconies and great views (the higher the better, as usual, despite the stairs). The rooms are super clean, food (even salads or fruit) can be eaten safely and there is an authentic Italian restaurant next door which cooks homemade tagliatelle. The owners of this resort care about every detail and ensure that clients are provided with high quality service, this is a top accommodation in Malapascua. Thanks again for your hospitality!
- Ove (10/5): Best hotel if you want to relax - We (mid-30s) came to Malapascua to relax and have a couple of calm and quiet beach days - this was the perfect resort for that on the Island. Remote from parties (although still within walking distance), two excellent restaurants next door and a quiet beach section right next to the hotel. We would pick the same hotel again if we come back.
- hayley (8/5): 프라이빗 비치가 훌륭한 호텔 ! - 바로 앞에 식당들이 주욱 있는 비치도 좋지만, 바로 뒷 편에 있는 프라이빗 비치가 정말 좋아요 ! 호핑, 스노쿨링 갈 필요 없이 바로 앞바다에서 물고기도 보고 스노쿨링 즐길 수 있어요 ~!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Malapascua visit - We had lovely stay, only down side was poor Wi-Fi connection most of the time.
- Mayte (10/5): Muy bonito y cómodo - Para el precio de la estancia, el desayuno era escaso y poco variado. Faltaba alguna sala de ocio. Por lo demás todo perfecto :)
- Rudy (10/5): They take the “work” out of traveling - The transfer from Cebu to the resort was flawless, the driver was there looking for us, the boat was waiting and delivered us right in front of the resort. While we were checking in we were offered a cool drink while the luggage was placed in our suite. Breakfast is very nice and offered on their private beach. Room was kept very clean, we were given good recommendations for restaurants, and halfway during our stay there was no trouble getting our laundry done. We would highly recommend this venue. Definitely not a budget hotel but for those of us who appreciate the finer things in life, a very good option to consider
- Marco (10/5): Great spot right at the beach - Fairly new resort so everything is in good condition. Rooms are comfortable. Views really nice. Staff very friendly. Just a bit pricey as you can find similar quality rooms (without the view) for half the price 5 minutes walk from the beach. Breakfast at Angelina is okay. Pizzas over there are really good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Prompt reply, new, clean and beautiful view room - Owner is really passionate in replying's customers query. Room is new, clean and with good view. The location is also quite and with lots of privacy. The balcony is also spacious and cozy. Beach, right in front of Hotel doesn't have the best view, but it sure offers you quiet moment and it is shaded and not so hot as compared to beautiful beach 5 minutes away from Hotel. Overall, it's a good stay. Breakfast at Angelina is so good. Good wifi and good breakfast. You can ask for olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and they offer extra breads too. Not suitable for elderly or people with knees problem though. Because you need to climb staircase to reach your room. Maybe you can talk to the owner to request for lower floor room.
- Stewardess (10/5): Fantastic stay at Blanco - Fabulous location, clean, modern decor, the best shower I had in the Philippines, and beautiful view. The amenities were wonderful. It was the only time I had a mini fridge or a hair dryer and both were great additions to the room. The safe was a nice touch. The double doors and screens were perfect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
