Walindi is an ideal place for a new or nervous diver, fantastic views can be found less than 18 meters underwater and the guides are informed and supportive. They also were very funny! The meals were excellent and we had a lot of variety. Even the post-diving lunches on board were delicious, nutritious, and satisfying (fruit, multiple protein options, salad,... More

Fantastic place to stay. The most amazing tropical islands a short boat ride away where the diving is truly amazing. Very friendly and hospitable staff.

We are back in Port Moresby after a wonderful 4 days at Walindi. Our little family of three loved it. The staff went out of their way to ensure our two year old Annika had a great time - an early meal when she had had an extra long day, plenty of games of peek a boo and lots of... More

This is not a all singing and dancing resort with 5 star amenities- it is a welcoming family-like & run affair - with communal tables and general willingness to help in all areas. 5 star service and 5 star diving! We stayed for 2 nights and did some diving and explored the hot springs river nearby- though there is plenty... More

We stayed in a bungalow which was beautiful and right near the water (although not on it) with a nice stroll along the paths with tropical flowering and fruiting trees. The staff were very friendly with bird watching tours and nightly firefly spotting. Of course if you're into diving this is a mecca, the diving and water is awesome and... More

On a field trip to Kimbe, I stayed in Walindi Hotel. It's about 45 or 60 minutes from the Airport, the way there leads you through mainly palm oil plantations, the town doesn't offer anything. It was highly delighting to find the Walindi Resort, a beautiful place with many small huts, constructed in the traditional way from mainly wood and... More

I stayed at Walindi before and after a liveaboard trip. The owners and staff looked after me fabulously. I was particularly impresses with the integrity with which they operate respective to the community.. not just some colonial-types out to live a dream at the expense and labor of the locals. Their obvious love of the country and care for the... More

Just excellent, wonderful diving, a nice but not luxurious hotel and stuff that welcomes you as a part of the family - they couldn't do any better. I liked very much to spend a vacation in a nice and safe place in PNG without having the impression to life in a completely isolated resort. The stuff lives with their families... More

I've already written a review for this hotel, but my wife and I went back again to Walindi in April of 2009 for a day before and a day after a dive cruise. Unfortunately, this trip was plagued with problems and I think it's important to mention that without the kindness of the Walindi staff these problems would have made... More
