Ich war zum Tauchen dort und hatte insofern keinen Luxus gebucht oder erwartet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, das Frühstück war reichlich, gut und abwechslungsreich. Das Restaurant bietet eine reichliche Auswahl und es schmeckt. Das Dive office hat mir bei der Auswahl meiner Tauchgänge sehr geholfen, die Tauchguides waren kompetent und sehr angenehm. Ich würde wiederkommen. Danke für den angenehmen Aufenthalt.

La vista al mar es muy bonita.
Cambie la habitacion por una con vista al mar y un poco mas grande.
Tiene un balcon que da a la playa y al mar.
La cama grande y comoda.
Härligt . Underbar personal dock kunde ägaren kanske kunnat hälsa när vi mötte honom. Prisvärt . Låg precis på stranden så närmare vattnet än så är svårt att bo . Kan tänka oss att bo här igen .

its alright, be careful with *fan* rooms. it doesnt have air condition. breakfast was terrible. plain toast and egg thats it.
Stayed for four days with friends on a diving holiday. The rooms were comfortable and the hotel is situated right on the beach next to where the public ferry drops you off, can't get more convenient than that! The dive centre was top notch, great guides and good quality equipment. Would definitely stay again.

Starten var litt trøblete da de ikke fant oss i booking systemet. Måtte vise frem dokumentasjon fra hotels.com og vente i ca 10-15 min før de løste det. Stort og greit rom. Da vi kom inn på rommet så vi at badet ikke var så rent. Sa ifra til personalet og de rettet opp i det. Fant ut at det var bed bugs i madrassen og så ifra til personalet på morgningen etter at vi fant ut det. Etter en liten samtale med dem der de ville spraye madrassen fikk vi et nytt rom. Etter denne hendelsen opplevde vi at personalet ikke var så blide og serviceinnstilte som tidligere. Av opp til 10 personer på jobb var det en til to personer som sa god morgen eller god natt. Ikke det verste rommet eller opphold, men heller ikke det beste. Fantastisk øy som vi absolutt skal tilbake til, men på på et annet hotell.
Fantastisk sted. God mat og store fine rom. Siden det er et bade/dykke sted kunne det gjerne vært mer enn 3 håndklær på rommet, men resepsjonen var behjelpelig med å bytte ved behov. Reiser gjerne hit igjen.
Hat mir spontan gefallen! Einfache Unterkunft mit brauchbarer Einrichtung und grosser Dusche. Natürlich stimmen die Mängel, welche etliche andere Gäste bereits erwähnt haben..... Aber Hey, wir sind auf einer Insel und die Preise sind eher bescheiden! Ich war umgeben von sehr hilfsbereitem Personal; die Happy Hour Cocktails gibt‘s zum halben Preis! Leider keinen Hai gesehen! Auch am Vortag war keiner zu sichten! Trotzdem,werde nächstes Jahr wieder kommen!
Wir waren auf Malapascua zum tauchen. Wir freuten uns sehr bei jedem early morning Tauchgang die Fuchshaie zu sehen. War super, ansonsten keine anderen Aktivitäten.
i could not sleep without the aircondition.i I transferred the to air conditioning room

청결도는 보통... 사진과 너무도 다른 룸이라 당황. 테라스 있고 욕조도있고 큰 룸이라해서 예약했는데... 방은 작고 욕조 없고 테라스도 없고 비치 앞 에 있는것처럼 보이지만 골목안쪽으로 들어가야함. 스텝이 좀 퉁명스러움.
에어컨 리모콘은 없어 수동으로 작동. 수압 약함(졸졸흐름)
The little mermaid dive resort is really close to the main beach, which means you don't need to get lost to find here when you just get to the malapascua island. I had a really good time here and staff were really friendly and helpful. You can ask to arrange a trip to get here in advance(4800php). Breakfast is simple(3 kinds) but enough to make you full. Our room was clean and neat. Great value for the price. There is a place to dry your swimwear and etc.
We stayed in room #17 Super Deluxe. It was clean and comfortable. The aircon worked. The hot & cold shower worked. The fridge worked. It was a 2 minute walk to Bounty Beach. Room #16 is also a super deluxe room but next to the dive centre so it gets noisy. Flat boat to big boat P20 + they charge P20 for luggage. Boat to Malapasqua Island is P100 + again P20 for luggage.
Nice hotel with great food. The dive resort was ok. The beach is just right outside.
Its quiet at night. Some neighbor singing karakoe all day long but we was out on diving or islandhopping. Don´t miss kalangaman island
