Great hotel for diving
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.

A very pleasant resort close to Bounty beach.
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.

Not bad
Overall was good. Only issue is wifi doesn't reach the room. Fan rooms are also noisy because you need to leave windows open and the dive shop is right outside and starts very early around 4am arranging gear etc.

Whilst Malapascua is primarily a diving and snorkeling resort, and the Little Mermaid Resort provides excellent services in this regard, it is alo a great place to relax and unwind if like me you dont dive or snorkel. Everyone at The Little Mermaid were very friendly and accommodating and its such a small island you can walk around it in comfort and safely. The white sand beaches are wonderfuk to stroll along and are exceptionally picturesque. I highly recommend The Little Mermaid Resort and the island to all.

Super friendly and helpful staff. One of the nicest places in the Malapasque, but be aware of the roosters... They tend to start day super early

OK for a short stay
Didn't have a record of my booking when I arrived, took a while to sort out. Fan room was very hot whereas my previous hotel had been fine so I would recommend aircon if you get too hot easily. Good size room, clean but noisy as the bathroom just had a mosquito net over the window space so all the noises from the locals at the back were heard, banging, chickens etc including loud music from 8am. Breakfast was good but the cheese was green mouldy - not a very nice sight when you're eating! I thought for the price, the other hotel I stayed at was much better value.

Decent Value Hotel
Good price for a small island. Everything is not that far apart so location is great, no beach view but beach is walking distance in front of property. Food ok but not great. Many other options just down the road. Rooms in decent condition for the price. They felt clean. Neighbors in the back burning trash so was not very comfortable one of the nights, however management responded accordingly and gave us a different room to switch to. Diving available at hotel, however we dove with another outfitter.

The facilities were too terrible.
I think the hotel's facilities were bad. First, the receptionist arranged the room which was re-paint one day ago, the smell was super terrible.Second, the toilet was hard to control, you must emphatically press the button after you use it, otherwise, the lavabo will spring up a lot of sand, that was very inconvenient.Over all, we won't the hotel again.

More private. Not on beach front.
Stayed for 4 night in october 2014. we took the fan room as a couple. It was ok. I ddnt take the scuba course with them but i liked the fact that scuba suits are not rip here and there for the students to use Base from my observation. Ddnt look cool having a ripped scuba on the photos from the famous TSD where we took the course. More on private as they dnt have a beach front but just half a minute away from the front beach.

ビーチがすぐのロケーションはグッド。 部屋もシンプルだが、シャワーはお湯もでるのが良かった。 ただ、受付が最悪。チェックインのときから、無愛想で笑顔のひとつもなし。タオル交換に50ペソかかることも聞いていないのに、説明したの一点張り。とにかく、こちらの話を聞かず、まくしたてるようにしゃべる。非常に不快だった。チェックアウト時も現地語で他のスタッフに指示していたが、待たないと行けないのか、去っていいのか、不明なまま。チェックアウト後、Thank youと言ったのに無視。マラパスクワにはまた行きたいが、このホテルは絶対利用しない。

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.

ダイビングの予約を一方的キャンセルするダイブショップに憤慨
ホテルの場所は船着き場から至近でした。入口目の前のビーチには、船のチケット以外に各種アクテビティも取り扱っているお店もあり、ロケーションは最高です。ホテルの部屋（ファミリールーム）も広く、通路側に椅子もあり良かった。 しかし、液晶テレビがあるにも関わらず何故か全く映らず、フロントに依頼してみたが、チャンネルサービスはしていないと言うことだった。 食事はセブとしては平均的な味で、価格も周辺ホテル同様少し高かった。無料の朝食も平均的だった。 併設のダイビングショップ、ガイドはとても感じが良かった。しかし、フロントの対応はあまり好意的ではなかった。特に、２日前に予約していた早朝ダイビングを、団体客が来たからと言って前日一方的にキャンセルされたのには、納得がいきませんでした。強く改善を希望します

Klein aber Fein
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!

静かなホテルとは言えません
昼は大きな音で音楽をかけていることがあるし、夜はバーなどで話す声が聞こえるし、午前4寺前から外で話をする声が聞こえるし、昼にすぐ前で工事の電気ノコギリの音が聞こえるしで、決して静かなホテルとは言えませんでした。 WiFiはつながりますが、遅いことがあります。セーフティボックスはあります。エアコン、テレビ、冷蔵庫はありません。部屋にコップ、ハンガーを置いてありません。カーテンの開け閉めが不便で、椅子の上にあがってカーテンの上を動かさないと開け閉めが十分できません。部屋の中で靴を脱ぐように言われます。最初ははだしでいたのですが、足の裏が黒くなるので、持ってきていたつっかけの裏を洗ってからはきました。スリッパを置いてないので、何も持って来ていなければはだしでおらなければなりません。電気スタンドを二つ置いてあり、照明は比較的明るいです。 船の着く浜から近いです。だからビーチに近いですが、ホテルの部屋からは海はまったく見えません。1階の部屋では窓の前によく人がいるため、カーテンを開けておくと、部屋の中が丸見えになります。暑いですが、カーテンを半分だけ閉めておくことが多かったです。

Friendly staff/good service + Location
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.
