The air conditioning is old and extremely loud making it impossible to sleep without earplugs. Also, the room is not very clean.

Very clean hotel, located on the beach, however the deluxe rooms are located in the inner courtyard, the breakfasts are ok but the service is very good. Overall it is good value for money. I recommend,

Excellent hotel. The rooms are very comfortable, the breakfasts are awesome, the service is excellent. It is located on the first line, there are rooms with and without a sea view, but it is not critical, there is no time to sit in the room anyway. It is very conveniently located, even taking into account that you can walk through the entire island in half an hour.

Place and experience was amazing. Staff were friendly and very helpful. There is a restaurant with delicious food attached to the hotel. Scuba diving was great. Diving accommodations every day. Beautiful undersea life. I highly recommend to anyone staying in Malapascua.

It is an absolutely fantastic hotel, dive centre and restaurant. We were in a standard room initially. The rooms are perfectly adequate, and the bed was extremely comfortable. No tv, fridge, or hairdryer, but it didn't make a difference to our stay. Fresh water was always available, and there were no plastic bottles in sight, which was great. Beach towels provided, too. Rooms cleaned every day. We were moved to a sea front room for our last 2 nights and we can also highly recommend these rooms although they are more costly. The views across the beach and sea are fabulous, and if I came back again, I would definitely book one of these rooms. The dive centre had new and very well maintained equipment, including XDeep wings and Apex regulators. The staff were absolutely fantastic everywhere and you can see that the owners look after all their staff very well. The restaurant was so good that we ate there most nights. Everything on the menu was always ultra tasty and well prepared. Very family friendly too. First time for us in the Philippines, and I would highly recommend The Little Mermaid whether you are coming for the diving or simply to chill out.

This review is about the restaurant - having walked around the island looking at the various prices and options, we chose this restaurant to eat, it was so nice we went back the following night too. We tried others but this was by far the best. We are also diving with them which is amazing too!!

Great location, right in front of the beach. Our room was very spacious. Superb service from the crew, the staff were so friendly and accommodating and even planned and went out of their way to prepare our breakfast since we had an early morning dive trip. Delicious food and refreshment options in the restaurant. Special shoutout to Janet for making our stay at Little Mermaid memorable.

A very good and well maintained Dive Resort in Malapascua. It’s located directly at the beach with own diving boats as well. Capable and friendly staff both in the Diving part and also in the Resort part. One of few (?) diving resorts accepting credit cards. The room was very clean and recent refurbishment. The breakfast and restaurant area is a rooftop terrace with a calming, relaxing sea view and atmosphere. The only down-side, and that’s for more or less all resorts in Malapascua, the service water is breached water. Next time in the Philippines, probably Jun/huly 2025, we will for sure return to Malapascua and especially, to Little Mermaid Resort! The diving was well organised and gave us the possibilities to see Treaser Sharks, Reef Sharks, Barracudas and many other kind of Sea Life!

We were a group of 9 friends celebrating a 40th birthday. After completing our Open Water course in Siquijor a few days prior we did our next 4 dives with the dive centre and we had a great experience with our 2 different dive masters. The staff were super friendly,efficient and very helpful. We felt safe and secure on all.our dives. Overall it was an amazing experience and we can absolutely recommend this dive centre. We also stayed in the accommodation and the rooms were clean and spacious and comfortable. The staff made us feel very welcome and always a smile to be had.

At Little Mermaid Dive Center I did several fun dives and specialty courses with Roland and James for the Advanced Open Water Diver. The guys are outstanding, have a lot of knowledge and humour. The price-performance ratio is outstanding compared to other dive schools on Malapascua. Really recommend to everyone!

Understaffed, unpleasant and unfriendly, very far from the Filipino spirit and the good vibes of Malapascua Island. If I were the owner of the establishment I would consider renewing the entire staff, from head to toe. The accommodation, what you would expect for the price you pay.

A small, essential resort, clean, with hospitable, smiling and affable staff. Very organized and professional diving, they do everything to make you feel at home. The only flaw was the breakfast. Really too poor both in terms of choice and quantity of food and beverage. The beach is right in front. Unfortunately there are only 4 sunbeds for a certainly larger number of rooms and guests. Bed with mosquito net, air conditioning, efficient shower and bathroom. All very simple and minimal but welcoming. Recommended for those who want a stay without extreme luxury
