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.

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.

Location and Getting to Little Mermaid Dive Resort

Address and Directions

The resort is situated in Barangay Logon, which serves as the primary hub for visitors arriving on Malapascua Island.

From there, you can take a bus or private van to Maya Port in Daanbantayan, followed by a short boat ride to the island. Once you arrive at the beach, the resort is easily accessible by foot.

Navigating the island is simple as it is largely pedestrian-friendly. If you have heavy luggage, local motorcycle taxis, often referred to as habal-habal, are available for a small fee, usually ranging from ₱50 to ₱100 depending on your distance from the port.

Beyond these specific landmarks, the area is filled with various dive shops and local restaurants that cater to international and domestic tourists.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
