It’s on the beach, which is of course, great. Room is clean. Water is hot. Air is cold. Fan in room was broken. While the drinks are good there find another place to eat. Very disappointing. Dive resort personnel were rather rude and acted like you were bothering them when you asked a question. So needless to say I went somewhere else to dive. Overall the place isn’t bad, but next time I’ll definitely stay so where else. So many options.

Exactly what we paid for. It was basic, but did the job. The staff were nice and we bought food from the restaurant which was good

Bedste sted på øen. Mest chillede vibe, og ligger i gåafstand til alt. Man kan fra Hippo udforske alt, samt bare hænge ud. De har den dejligste dykkerskole tilknyttet, og de gør meget for lokale mennesker og dyr. 100 hjerter til dette sted!
