Hippocampus Beach Resort

I loved hippo campus and the very helpful staff there , even though I booked on the day the owner found me a room and then found me a room for the next four days as they we’re fully booked so I had to change rooms a couple of times which was cool , it’s in a fantastic spot right on the beach with good music and great food :) thanks for everything Edwin , Hayden

We also stayed at the Hippocampus Beach Resort on the same grounds, so we had super short distances. I can recommend anyone who comes to Malapascua for diving to go diving at Devoean, if I come to Malapascua again there is no question where I stay and where I dive. For me a straight 10, thank you very much. I was delighted with the service and support provided by Devocean dive center. As a diving instructor, I've traveled a lot around the world and have experienced several diving centers. This is by far one of the best. From the welcome, the organization of the dives, the teams on the boats, the passion of the divemasters to show the diversity and beauty of the region, to the organization of the departure.

Arrived to Hippocampus to spend one night and then move next morning. Everything was very nice and easy. Good price clean but minimalistic which was okay. Great fun at the bar live entertainment that was loud until about 11 Pm. Door lock was jammed and we kept having to get help to open or lock door. Got it sorted maybe a bit inconvenient but we managed.

Room is neat, big, well-lit and power outlets are everywhere. The balcony is spacious and resort has provision where to dry your wet clothes. Staffs are cheerful, accommodating and attentive to your needs. Has a diving center within the resort.

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.

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.
