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.

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。

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.

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

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。

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.

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.
