I spent 3 nights at Mermaid Resort And Dive Center, and while the location was almost perfect and the staff were phenomenally friendly, there were a couple of drawbacks. The air conditioning in my Junior Suite didn’t really cool down as I had hoped. and the balcony was quite exposed to noise and dirt from the busy street below.

I spent three nights at the Mermaid Resort And Dive Center and found it generally pleasant but with some areas for improvement. The location is almost perfect, being right on the main street of Sabang, making it easy to explore the town. However, the view from my junior suite wasn’t what I expected, despite some claims. While the air conditioning could have been cooler, the overall maintenance of the resort post-pandemic was commendable.
