Hippocampus is an excellent choice for anyone traveling to Malapascua, with its prime location right on the beach, and a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The rooms are great, and the beach bar is lively with a fantastic vibe. However, my experience with the bar service was disappointing due to watered-down drinks, which took away from an otherwise amazing stay. All in all, I would definitely return for the incredible experience, just with a few adjustments needed in the dining options.
