Wunderschöne Auszeit vom Bali-Wahnsinn mit tollen Meeresaktivitäten
Pros:

Uns hat vor allem die Unterkunft gefallen, da sie so remote liegt, dass man sich wirklich toll entspannen kann. Auch das Angebot an Aktivitäten ist toll. Wir waren zwei Mal Schnorcheln und haben vier Tauchgänge mit Mathias gemacht. Dabei haben wir Haie und viele andere Fische gesehen. Mathias hat sogar Videos mit seiner GoPro gemacht. Sowieso sind Andrew, Mathias und das Team absolut freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie organisieren einfach alles! Und das an so einem abgelegenen Ort, einfach mega. Das Frühstück und Abendessen war gut, am besten hat uns das Nasi Goreng Tempeh geschmeckt.
Andrew hat uns in seiner neu gebauten Villa mit Meerblick untergebracht. Das war wirklich fancy! Er hat sie toll eingerichtet mit Blick für Details, wie Lampen und Outdoor-Bad.
Es gibt auch einen Poolbereich mit Liegen.
Vom Steg aus haben wir die Milchstraße und viele Sterne sehen können, die Sonnenuntergänge waren legendär. Zudem kann man Leuchtefischchen sehen, wenn die Flut Abends wieder einsetzt!

Cons:

Die Locals sind schon ne andere Nummer, wenn's um Transport und Geld machen geht. Man muss sich schon durchsetzen können, sonst muss man noch viel Lehrgeld obendrauf zahlen zusätzlich zum Aufenthalt.
Für das Boot zur Insel haben wir 1,7Mio. bezahlt, zurück 1,5Mio. Der Eintritt zum Wasserfall soll 150k p. P. kosten, aber wir haben es für zwei Personen gezahlt. Das war dann ok!

Une parenthèse enchantée grace à la quietude des lieux et avec de magnifiques plongées
Pros:

L’ambiance cool et amical grâce à Andrew, Camille et Mathias. Les chambres sont spacieuses et très joliment décoré. Très propre. On y mange divinement bien. Super belles plongées avec des encadrants qui parlent francais et anglais, qui connaissent très bien l’eco système local. Les fonds sont magnifiques que ce soient les coraux que la diversité sous marine. Des chiens et un chat et… une tortue tout aussi adorable. Une parenthèse où le temps s’arrête et où on se pose et repose.

Cons:

Il manque un balai par chambre et il n’y a pas vraiment de plage pour se baigner . Il faut des chaussures ou descendre par une échelle au bout du ponton.

Remote oceanview piece of paradise
Pros:

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Moyo Island is a stunning nature reserve, with one of the most beautiful rainbow filled, untouched waterfalls I’ve experienced. The snorkelling was also lovely, and if you dive, there are many amazing spots to explore. Andy and his team were super down to earth, friendly and helpful, organising everything to make our experience as smooth as possible. We also met many interesting travellers who added to our experience at the resort, which has a charming, rustic feel and is surrounded by monkeys, lizards, huge trees, stargazing, fantastic moonrises and sunsets. If nature is your thing, this is your place.

Cons:

We thought the team had done an amazing job, particularly given the remote location. We’re looking forward to seeing how the place continues to evolve over time.

You come here for the location and the wildlife.
Pros:

The location in the jungle is absolutely stunning! There is a beautiful house reef in front of the hotel that you will have to yourself most of the time. Also the diving with Mathias was an incredible experience! He really took great care of us, especially since we were beginners - our 10 year old son had the time of his life!

Cons:

The room we had (nr. 6) definitely needs some updating. The shower was pretty awkward and the mattress was like a waterbed. In overall the hotel needs some maintenance.

Pros:

Andy was so helpful in organising transport to and from the island as well as tours to see the stunning waterfalls on the island.

My room was clean and I considered stealing the comfiest pillow of my life. The aircon was cold, the showers were hot. The food was delicious and all the team were friendly and helpful. I loooooved all the pets and plants!!

Mathais took me on the most interesting night dive I've ever been on. Thanks for indulging my nerdy side guys. The house reef was pristine!!

The resort holds sustainability in high regard and that is something I can get behind. I can't wait to come back next year!!

A great adventure.
Pros:

We loved the welcome and community feel. It feels like you are staying with family. We loved Andrew’s vision for the resort although it is still a work in progress. The animals around the resort are a bonus and gave us lots of entertainment. They truly are a joy. The food was good and plentiful. Diving was great and there are plenty of trips to go on. I would particularly recommend going to the waterfalls in the national park.
The house reef off the jetty is beautiful snorkelling.
Rooms are clean but in need of a little renovation.

Cons:

Due to limits in fuel by the government the water and electricity is off at set times. Showers are lukewarm at best.
However this is not claiming to be a five star resort. It feels a little like camping at times but as long as you have a realistic expectation of what you are coming to and a sense of humour it’s a fabulous adventure.

Highlight of the trip!
Pros:

We had an incredible stay at Blue EmOcean, and it was definitely the highlight of our trip!
Andy, the owner, was fantastic from start to finish, always incredibly responsive and helpful with anything we needed before and during our stay.

Mathias, our dive guide/instructor, was amazing. He is so friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. He took us to some of the best dive sites we’ve ever experienced.

All the staff at Blue Em and on moyo island in general, were so welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help, which made the experience even more special. The food was also exceptional!
We couldn’t recommend Blue EmOcean highly enough and I’ll hopefully be coming back later in the year for more diving :)

Paradise!
Pros:

I did a 2,5 months tour in Indonesia, spended time in more than 30 places and I'll only review 2 of them, one of which is Blue EmOcean. This journey was the highlight of my stay! My partner joined me for the last 2.5weeks and being in Mojo previously during my tour I knew what to expect of the Island. When we arrived, we fell directly in love with this place, far from the village, located in the jungle and having a pristine coral reef we felt like being on our own exclusive little paradise. We've been welcomed by Andrew, Matthias and the rest of the family, consisting of 1 puppy and mother stray-dog, a teckel, a cat and a tortoise. The locals working there were very kind (like most of the Indonesians I met!), not very proficient in English but hey, We're on an Island in Indonesia! If you're able to look through the imperfections of some constructions, which, some previous reviewers complained about (By the way, It's not rated as a 5-star hotel!), You'll find a real hidden gem. The rooms are decent, good bed and yes, there are geckos present, For us this place was perfect, diving in wonderfull corals, waterfalls, nature,monkey's roaming the garden (afraid of humans) .....having spended 7 nights in a 5-star hotel previously and a 7- nights stay here, we were glad to leave the 5-star, but we coud have easily stayed here for much longer than 7 nights!

Cons:

Nothing

Wild life 💯
Pros:

Une expérience complètement hors du temps. Niché au milieu de la nature, loin de tout, cet endroit est un vrai paradis pour faire une pause et se déconnecter. Le silence, les animaux, les sunsets… tout était incroyable.

Merci à Andrew pour son accueil chaleureux ainsi qu’à toute son équipe. Les repas étaient délicieux et un grand merci aussi à Mathias de nous avoir fait découvrir le monde marin à Moyo à travers la plongée, nous avons adoré. 😍

Nous sommes restés seulement 3 nuits, mais si nous avions pu prolonger, nous l’aurions fait sans hésiter. Nous sommes repartis le cœur un peu triste de quitter cet endroit magique.

Merci à tous et à très vite, prenez soin de vous 🤍

Simply magical
Pros:

BAGUS!! This was the most epic spot to stay in Moyo. The jetty is right in front of the stay with incredible snorkeling, the reefs are extremely healthy and diverse. Andrew was the coolest guy, very very knowledgeable about the marine life and ecology of the island. He was more of a friend than a host in the best way possible. The dogs, puppies, kitty and staff made it feel like a home. Grateful to have spent a few days there. Will never forget this place and will definitely be back.
