Lovely staff but totally under resourced which impacted on our stay
Pros:

All the staff were absolutely lovely and did thier best in looking after us and cooking meals for us

Cons:

Very limited menu indeed for breakfast/lunch and dinner
Staff were totally under resourced
Long walk to the dive boat through a walkway/mango swamp
The dives were never on time and sometimes it took a whole day, not just a few hours.
Dive master neesds more disciplined time keeping and needs to tell us about each dive site and it's name

Kleinschalig duikersparadijsje met een 5 sterren staff, grote aanrader
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame staff, kleinschalig resort waardoor je iedereen bij naam kent en er een zeer gezellige en familiaire sfeer heerst. Perfecte plek om te duiken, heerlijke maaltijden, goede airco in de huisjes en een goede locatie om te duiken, Tangkoko park en Manado te bezoeken. Ik zou hier zeker nog terug komen!

Cons:

Top plek op te duiken, als je niet duikt denk ik dat er misschien wat weinig te beleven valt.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt als Familie. Insbesondere mit Kindern konnten wir vom Pool profitieren, da man am Hotel selber aufgrund der Mangroven und Gezeiten eher nicht ins Meer kann.
Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Auch das Essen war lecker, lediglich als Vegetarierin hätte ich mir manchmal etwas mehr Abwechslung gewünscht.
Das Personal war sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit, auch beispielsweise bei der Organisation von Fahrten, Massagen etc.
Wir sind auch mehrfach tauchen gegangen und waren sehr zufrieden. Wir haben richtig tolle Tauchgänge gemacht, die Orga auf dem Boot war super und das Equipment top. Unser Sohn hat seinen AOWD gemacht, auch damit waren wir sehr zufrieden. Danke für die schöne Zeit bei euch.

Cons:

In der Gegend ist sonst eher wenig. Man kann fußläufig in den kleinen Ort gehen, dort gibt es 2 Supermärkte und kleine Warungs. Uns hat das aber nicht weiter gestört.

Had an amazing time in a great dive resort.
Pros:

The resort is exactly what you need. The staff, Colin and Orin especially, were super lovely and friendly, always recommending things to do. Jimmy, the dive guide, was exceptional, I had the most fun diving with him and felt very at ease. And the food is delicious.

Pros:

We had a great stay (7 nights)! It’s a small resort, so you get a lot of personal attention. My partner got his first diving experience here, and we both upgraded to our Open Water Certificate with instructor Yanex. He was amazing! We really enjoyed our dives with him; he is a fantastic instructor and a truly lovely human being. After 7 days, he honestly felt like family. The boat crew was also very nice and helpful, and we had a lot of fun together.

Please note that there is no beach to go snorkeling by yourself directly from the resort; you really need to take a boat to get to the good snorkeling spots. However, the boat ride to Bunaken takes only about 15-20 minutes and offers many beautiful dive spots. Also, if you like to visit a mall or do other activities besides diving and snorkeling, this location is great. It is very easy to order an InDrive, and if you don't have the app, the staff is more than happy to order one for you.

The staff always goes above and beyond to meet your needs, even if you are the first person to make a specific request. For example, they arranged a 2.5-hour boat transfer for us to Bangka Island, and we even did a dive and some snorkeling along the way. They were the only resort willing to organize this custom boat trip for us, and we are incredibly thankful for that!

Thank you for all the great memories. We would definitely come back if we visit North Sulawesi again! Highly recommended!

Pros:

Een fantastische tijd beleefd in lekker gezellig dive resort.
Een dikke dank u aan Jimmy, mijn geweldige gids, aan Robby, de fantastische kapitein, aan Ita die het geweldig deed als bootmeisje ter vervanging van de zeer behulpzame bootman Owa.
Ze maakten van het duiken een super beleving.
Ook Inka deed haar uiterste best om alles in
het kleinschalige resort in goede banen te leiden.
Is er een vraag, dan doet ze er alles aan om zo snel mogelijk een antwoord te bieden.
Bunaken is bijzonder mooi om te duiken en ik heb er enorm van genoten.
