Great dive hotel

Great dive hotel on a lovely beach. Communication prior to stay was excellent, room was clean and comfortable and bar restaurant was awesome. Most importantly, they were brilliant to dive with - the first boat out in the morning and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again when we’re next in Malapascua

Evolution is a truly pretty, warm and very comfortable place to stay. Clean, tidy, well organised, with good (quality) food and drinks choice. Of course, the service is excellent as well. The dive base is run diligently and efficiently by a great staff. Personal "coup de coeur": this place is environmentally-friendly as much as possible... it is even difficult to spot it coming from the sea :) Hopefully, we'll come back one day.

We took our shoes off on arrival and put them back on only at departure. Beautiful place, great staff, and excellent diving. The sharks, wow!

Ett mysigt ställe med bra läge precis vid stranden. Rummet var funktionellt med ok balkong. Trevlig restaurant med god mat och trevlig service inriktad personal. Vi som inte dyker kan kanske känna sig lite malplacerade för de flesta bor här för dykningens skull. Finaste stranden för bad fanns på norra sidan ön men där fanns inga hotell. Vi var jättenöjda med vår vecka.

Excellent hotel, restaurant and diving club.

Little piece of paradise on Malapascua island. Great room with everything you need, super friendly and helpful staff, good location, excellent restaurant with Both local and western food and last but not least, a super professional diving club. We had an amazing stay and could only recommend staying there. Really appreciated that there were no plastic bottles and that there was a conscious effort to preserve the environment.

Clean and comfortable

This is not a hotel for family with kids. If you are on a diving trip, then this hotel probably will suit most if not all your needs. It’s a bit of a walk from where you dock, but the flip side is it’s far enough to feel secluded. The room we had was very clean and comfortable. Bonus is your steps away from the beach. Only warning ⚠️ is to ensure you have all your booking details with you as to not incur “other” charges. Staff hassled me for a few days but did the right thing in the end.

Mer än okej.

Perfekt om du är dykare eftersom de både har en av de bättre dykfirmorna och ett bra boende. Kan helt klart rekommendera detta ställe. Ska man vara lite petig så kan man tycka att i priset borde ingå åtminstone en kontinental frukost. Bra tryck i duschen, okej säng och min fru gillade att handfatet var i samma rum som sovrummet.
