Great diving resort

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 2, 2023via mobile
We have stayed here couple pf nights for diving around Malapascua island. The rooms are spacious, not luxury but beds are very comfy. Also hot shower and clean bathroom. Staff is very friendly and as we ate every day at the resort, it means that food was very good!
Only thing is Wifi, so if you need to be inline I recommend a local SIM card.
Date of stay: June 2023
Room Tip: Book a deluxe room at the ground floor. Is more cozy!
Trip type: Traveled as a couple

The restaurant had nice food, beautiful location at sunset, live music at nights.
Stayed in a Superior garden room. Good size of the room, comfortable bed, clean room. However, the bathroom would need a deep cleaning, there was mold in the shower and on the back of the door. The fridge in the room was also dirty. I really hope they improve this!
Possible to wash your feet outside the room which was nice.
Would have been nice to have sunbeds on the beach or lounge chairs, but since they didn't we instead went to the hotel next doors during afternoons.
Some plastic trash in the water all along the beach, sad that the hotels and dive shops don't help to clean up. It wasn't nice to go in the ocean during low tide unfortunately.
Quite a lot of noice from the restaurant and kitchen at night so the standard rooms in the back might be better, otherwise use ear plugs. The kitchen used a bell everytime a meal was done which was a bit annoying when our room was nextdoor.
Even with the downsides we still wanted to stay another night, but since it was full we changed to another hotel on the island.

Hippocampus Beach Resort is a clean and modern hotel with good staff and a great location. However, the wifi was unreliable and music played loudly at night, which could be frustrating for early risers who are going diving. Overall, I still recommend this hotel for its comfort and quality service.

Clean and adequate room with most things that you need. Every room comes with a large balcony for lounging. I was in the back of the resort, and could see a glimpse of the ocean. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning sufficient. Large shelves for storage. Housekeeping was friendly and hardworking. Attached restaurant served BBQ every night. Good stay

Room tip: The rooms at the back, although the cheapest, get a little more peace & quiet as they're furthest from the bar which has music every night.

Stopped in n here to watch the great live entertainment. Two girls with tremendous voices belting out a mixture of pop and rock classics. They were superb.

Sadly the same cannot be said of the bar. We ordered gin and tonic and were shocked to discover that the gin was clearly watered down! We complained to our waitress who brought us fresh gins and this time opened the bottle in front of us. I know times have been hard but treating customers this way is not the way forward.

Thank you for the review and we are happy you enjoyed the entertainment! We have never ever watered down our alcohol, and would never consider it. The local gins are not as potent as Bombay sapphire or other gins made internationally, and with the heat the ice tends to melt fast into the drinks potentially causing it to taste watered down. Sorry for your experience and we hope you will make it back someday - if you do, your first gin n tonic is on us!

Thank you

My weekend was amazing while staying at Hippocampus Beach Resort. They have well trained and accommodating staff to make your stay memorable and safe. You’ll feel like your part of the family.

Rooms are spacious and clean to ensure that you will have a great sleep at night.

A bar right at the beach front will spice up your night mood.
