The diving in North-sulawesi is wonderful and going back and forward to Manado looked a bit tedious so we decided to book a hotel on Bunaken itself. The village bunaken turned out to be an excellent choice! The staff is not only friendly, but they will go out of their way to help, are genuinely caring and flexible. The staff... More

I admit that my husband and I are a bit spoiled and no longer used to rustic resorts. However, we still really enjoyed this place. The rooms, restaurant and resort grounds are generally clean & tidy. Anything we needed, the staff genuinely tried to do for us. The room itself is spacious and the bed was pretty comfy, though the... More

General: So I just left from the resort this week and I have to say that it was an outstanding adventure. Sure the lady in the previous review had some issues that might merit some follow-up, but keep in mind that this is a remote island that has solor power, not nuclear power, so some electrical issues are to be...

Came here in the mid of January with a couple of English people just after the Tourism meeting in Manado. We came here for relax and that's what we got. Honestly after the frustrating time from the conference, 4 days staying in Bunaken Village was a real relaxing times. Staffs are friendly and very helpful. By the way, my room... More

We have been traveling a lot in South East Asia with children 3 and 5 years old. This is a real island resort with a good atmosphere! The rooms are nice, clean and decorated in a tasteful style. The food is great, and is served as buffet style. They even serve fresh juice in the morning, and refill a mug... More

I recently stayed for 4 nights on a dive holiday. I felt comfortable and immediately welcomed in to the resort. The single rooms have just what you need with a bed, bathroom and hammock out the front. You will feel right at home at meal times as the other travelers the property attracts are all friendly and welcoming. Diving here... More

Relaxed, beautiful, special place. I took my girlfriend here as a first-time diver and she left with a newfound love for coral reefs and a special ring on her finger! I couldn't have proposed in a better place. Angelina was amazingly accommodating and really cares about her guests. The rooms are all very tastefully decorated, comfortable and private. The massages... More

Stayed in a seafront bungalow which was spacious and stylish. There is hot water, but no AC. The first is pretty important when returning from a chilly dive, but didn't miss the latter as ceiling fan was enough to keep cool during the night. The hammocks on the terraces were a good spot to swing and read on a rainy... More
