    Actually there was no bed sheet. Only a mattress cover and a blanket. I found it a bit uncomfortable.

    Amazing location on Bounty beach. It is actually in the middle of the beach but not noisy somehow. Great staff taking care of the rooms as well as the dive shop. The King room with see view was clean and with little terrasse and direct access to the beach.

    Room on the ground floor is very dark. Booking with breakfast is pointless if you dive with a dive center that is not in the hotel as most dives start early and they will not provide a packed breakfast if you don't dive with them. Low water pressure makes you compromise between pressure and temperature in the shower.

    Very large room with a large double bed.

    Simple breakfast

    Simple hotel located in front of the beach, where the ferry arrives and most dive centers are located. Quite and clean without luxuries if you come to dive and relax. Good Wi-Fi quality. They also have a restaurant and a dive center on the premises.

    Very clean and cozy rooms with great service. Loveliest resort crew helping with anything imaginable. Great dive shop with awesome instructors, dive masters and boot crew. We did our advanced divers licenses and a double dive trip to Gato Island. We can more than recommend to stay and dive here.

    Amazing location. Room was very spacious and breakfast was perfect for what we needed. Staff very helpful.

    The non ac room is unbearable, i would advise paying for the one with ac. The people working in the reception and hotel restaurant could sometimes be a bit rude and cold.

    Super good location right by the beach. It has a dive shop in the resort with the best dive instructor you could ask for.

    I sent some questions ahead through Booking.com, but never received an answer; non-filipino breakfast was the same every day; toilet might need some update

    We had van room #5, which is in the garden behind the building and has fairly good shadow at the lower level; each room has a little bench to sit outside; the main (and beautiful) beach is right in front of the reception building with lots of reastaurant options around

    - bad smell from the bathroom - they didn’t see our booking when we arrived - no free drinking water refill - dive shop staff was not interested in servicing us - staff was asking all the time if we’re guests from the hotel

    - good location on the beachfront - comfortable beds - everything was clean (incl daily cleaning service)

    WiFi was very very poor. Connected dive operation is expensive.

    A very nice hotel (we were in fan room) with very pleasant staff. Our only issue was that WiFi was terrible. If you rely on a decent connection you may need to look again.

    The bed was a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom sometimes smelled of sewage. As it was a non-AC room and it rained done days, the room was very humid all the time.

    Big rooms, nice outdoor area, good breakfast with different things every day. Cool rooftop on the reception area for sunrise (not yet finished).

    No mosquito screen at bathroom and toilet window.

    Accommodation was sufficient and good. Provided drinking water bottle for the room. Diving with the team was exceptional. Kevin was a great teacher and experienced in the Thresher locations. I can recommend Little Mermaid Dive Resort for your Advanced training and for Thresher Shark diving.

    There is no wifi if you have a room behind the building. We booked a room with breakfast (paid extra) but it was a bit disappointed. We didn’t had choice and it wasn’t special. We also had to pay 20 pesos extra to fill our water bottle..

    The location is great and the rooms are big and cleaned everyday. The staff is friendly.

    Our room was not on the beachfront but in a separate complex behind the main building. Despite being very clean, the room had a light smell of humidity because it doesn't receive sunlight. WiFi was almost non existent in the rooms.

    The bed is huge and comfortable. The room decoration is nice. There is a nice seating area in front of the room. Beddings and towels were changed daily. Breakfast was good despite the limited options (eggs or pancake). All staff members were extremely nice and helpful especially Ariel.
