Moonlight Resort — Hotel in Malapascua

I booked a Superior room for 3 nights. Check in was simple. My room was a decent size and the bed comfortable enough. The shower and toilet were two separate rooms. The cable TV worked well. It required using two remotes but I had to turn on from the TV as the remote probably needed new batteries. The aircon worked well albeit a little noisy. I turned it off to sleep.||The hot water shower was only enough to take the edge off cold even after being advised to let it run for 3 minutes but the following days it was warm. The shower rose was old and could certainly do with being replaced.||After checking I noticed there was no soap provided. A trip to reception and soap was provided. Also, the shower light was not working, another trip to reception and the globe was replaced immediately. Bedside lamp did not work (globe replacement?). Only toilet paper is provided as there is no bum gun or pail/bucket.||The overall lighting was good for island standards. Private patio area with table and seating. Bin on balcony not emptied unless requested. Room clean also upon request.||Booking.com states Fan (I had none), Minibar (I had none) and Key Access should read key in door lock.||One night I had a cockroach in my bed which freaked me out. I hate cockroaches. I couldn't go to sleep after that ending up staying up all night watching TV. Maybe if they used some insect surface spray it might help.||It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Bounty beach area. Given my senior years beachfront accommodation would probably have suited me better.||In summary, the staff are friendly and try to do their best. Small irritations are part and parcel of island life except for that cockroach getting...

Moonlight Resort was my mistake. I suggest you to be wise and do not make such mistake, only in case you really want to stay there. From internet descriptions it seemed to be a good resort. ||In fact it is a small resort of few rooms, with a garden, and breakfast area. But the facilities are far beyond expectation. At first the owner gave us a room which did not comply with our booking. Had to discuss, prove the written bookings etc. Finally were given another room. But……. In my sink the water was flowing to the bucket which was just under it, so be ready for “Donald Duck dish washing – water dropping” sensation. You have a tea/coffee making facility, but you have to pay for the coffee/creamer. The room was equipped with fan, but at peak temperatures which just occurred we asked for possibility to switch on the AC (room was equipped with it). It was to be charged extra, so be prepared to pay 12 € / 15 USD for 1 night of using of AC….. ||On Malapascua you have a white beach, behind that are hotels and dive centres, after that is a local village area, after that starts jungle with no single lamp and only after that, behind a hill, you find a Moonlight Resort, probably most furthermost resort on Malapascua. Getting there with a wheeled suitcase is a great challenge, so in my opinion it is mainly for backpackers. If you return late in the evening bring a torch so you will see the road among bushes and stones……||The resort is also VERY noisy as plenty of motorbikes are passing by 7/24 ||I am not sure if I can recommend this resort………||If I booked a cheap one, I got what...
