Tepanee Beach Resort

Nice place, the shark sanctuary was great!

房間很乾凈，服務也很好。 歐美人比較多，好潛水！ 單身者不建議去，如下圖所示！ gogogo 好嘞好嘞好嘞。

Abbiamo soggiornato presso il Tepanee beach per una settimana. Non volevamo più andarcene. I proprietari, Silvia e Andrea, oltre ad essere delle persone estremamente piacevoli con cui conversare, hanno creato un piccolo paradiso a Malapascua, con un occhio attento al buon cibo, all’atmosfera tranquilla dell’ambiente e al rispetto della natura in cui hanno investito tante energie. Al Tepanee si trovano tutti gli elementi per potersi rilassare senza annoiarsi, per riscoprirsi nella natura, nella lentezza e nell’attenzione ai piccoli particolari, tra cui una piccola libreria multilingue da cui attingere meravigliose storie! Un caloroso abbraccio, ci rivedremo sicuramente

房間一般，不過可以在沙灘躺着看日落，還可以浮潛看鯊魚寶寶。

Beautiful location overlooking the little bay with juvenile black tip sharks. Our room had a balcony with stunning view of the sunset. Room spacious enough, aircon wasn't working but was fixed. Breakfast from the restaurant also had amazing view over port, decent variety although all cold (eggs, bacon etc). No milk for coffee, tea, just milkpowder. I tried to book diving in advance through their recommended dive centre (MTD) by sending emails and whatsapps which remained unanswered. Dived with TSD which was 3 min walk and can highly recommend them. My wife enjoyed the snorkeling at resort and relaxing on the loungers underneath big trees while I was diving. Please note that you are not allowed to just go for a swim at the beach in front of the resort as you need to be "snorkeling" in the sanctuary. And they police this very strictly. For swimming you need to use the beach in front of the next resort which was not really a problem for us. One big plus point is that the resort always responded promptly via email before the visit, they also arranged our taxi from Cebu City. Our biggest disappointment was that our trip to Kalagaman island book through the resort were cancelled twice the mornings we were supposed to go, which was very inconvenient. Only explanation offered was that the captain was drunk because of the fiesta and the other time because of the election. I got the impression they wanted us to take a private tour instead. No alternatives offered or trying to rebook us with another operator. I requeated to speak to the manager who was apperenrly not available. The second time it was cancelled we spoke to a few places outside the resort who immediately recommend visting Carnaza and Lamanoc islands which were a bit closer, cheaper and stunningly beautiful. See pics. Make sure to visit the port area at the back of the resort for unbeatable sunsets from the beach while enjoying a cocktail. We also did a snorkeling trip around the island booked through resort which is highly recommend not for the snorkeling as much but for visiting North beach which is stunningly beautiful. So all in all a good place to stay although the staff were not that helpfull or friendly as in other resorts we stayed in Phillipines before.
