I organized my trip to Malapascua based on reviews of Ocean Vida resort and wasn't let down. Sorren the manager made us feel welcome right from the moment our boat reached the beach. The place has a wonderfully relaxed vibe. The rooms are well sized and fitted with everything you need - although the bathrooms are a little dated. The... More

We were very lucky to have stayed at Ocean Vida for 12 nights in Jan/Feb this year. Booking on the internet was easy, as was arranging an airport collection from Cebu. The Ocean Vida is situation in the middle of Long Beach and does indeed seem to be the place where everyone congregated on an evening. Having walked the length... More

From the moment we arrived we felt like we had brushed our cares aside and could relax. The property is very well run and the staff are all very friendly. We stayed in a ground floor room which was very comfortable with great views and a very comfortable bed. Although the path in front of the rooms is very busy,... More

Although I stayed at the nearby Hippocampus hotel for 2 weeks, I used Sea Explorers for my diving excursions and Ocean Vida for fresh mango daiquiris and meals on an almost daily basis and was extremely pleased. Not only were the staff quite helpful, professional and knowledgeable with each of my dives, but the shop, boats, and equipment were all... More

I stayed at the Ocean Vida for five nights and dove with the embedded Sea Explorers dive shop. I was very pleased with both operations. First, I really liked how Sea Explorers scheduled the dives and grouped the divers to guide dives. Furthermore, the boat crews were great and made gearing up and getting back in the boat very easy.... More

Malapascua and Ocean Vida was our first destination in the Philippines and it was absolutely amazing. My partner and I stayed for seven nights in late January 2013. We stayed in a beach fronting room on the ground level. We loved the way the resort was incorporated into the environment, and didn't impact on the beauty of the place. The... More
