We had a wonderful time at Bunaken Cha Cha... scuba diving all morning and relaxing all afternoon. The hosts are extremely welcoming, the staff friendly and helpful, the accommodation very comfortable and the food excellent. Our room was 20 m from the ocean - a wonderful spot. The only problem was we had to leave too early. We stayed 5... More

This is our fourth time at Bunaken Cha Cha. It continuous to be an outstanding place. Beautiful location, great food, diving is excellent and the equipment and guides are fantastic. The resort is very clean and well-functioning, and if you need anything the owners (Raf and Reiko) and other managers make sure you can get it. This place is great... More

My 3rd stay at Cha Cha was just as good as the previous two: Even though the staff was new and the owners not at home, Bunaken again presented world class diving and relaxation! After having spent a week at Raja Ampat, Indoenesia/West Papua - which is supposed to be some of the best diving in the world (and so... More

Our family loved our time at Bunaken Cha Cha. We found the accommodation lovely, the food and views stunning and the whole setting way above any of our expectations. We felt that we were part of an extended family and our hosts, Raf and Reiko, really cared for our happiness and well being. It felt as if we'd known them... More

If you read all the other reviews then all we can say is that they are an absolutely true reflection of the "resort". You can have privacy if you need it or equally be part of the "family". The beach and tide pools are a marvellous way to wile away the time between snorkelling and eating. Raf and Reiko manage... More

Dear Roger Thank you very much for taking the time to review Cha Cha and we are so glad that you all enjoyed your holiday with us. As you know, there is very little opportunity for the people on Bunaken to study catering or any aspect of Resort work and so it is great pleasure for us, the owners, to... More

If you're looking for a vacation that has a beautiful natural location, no pressing agendas and comfortable accomodations, this is for you. All I wanted to do was relax, do a little snorkeling, have everything taken care of for me, food, snacks, travel arrangements, and that exactly what I got. This vacation was worth every penny.

Kudo's to Raf and Reiko. Bunaken Cha Cha, stunningly set along a stretch of beach on the island it is named after, is more than an incredible small dive resort. We stayed for 11 days and could easily have spent another two weeks snorkeling, relaxing, enjoying the company of Raf and Reiko, the guests who hailed from all parts of... More

As previous reviewers have reported, this is an extremely comfortable resort on a beautiful island, with fantastic food, lovely cottages and a unique atmosphere. We spent just under a week there recently and would highly recommend it for singles, couples or families whether you are snorkellers or divers. The reefs in the area are in pristine condition in beautiful clear... More

A coordinated trip by taxi and boat to Bunaken Island, all organised by Raf and Reiko, the owners of Bunaken ChaCha, brings you to the north shore of the Island. This small resort offers a charming and inviting environment. Our bungalow was with AC, very clean and with an open bathroom and hot water. The meals offered are outstanding in... More

Chacha is a lovely resort located in the Bunaken Island. It is quiet and exclusive with no other resorts nearby. If you are a party animal, then I won’t recommend to go there. However, if you want to enjoy a relaxed holiday, it will be a perfect choice. Their deluxe chalets were all well decorated and the showroom was specially... More
