This is my second stay at Kuda Laut; I spent 8 days last year and decided to return for more diving and underwater photography for 9 days. I enjoyed again both the hotel facilities and the Bunaken reef and wall dives. The dive boats are well equipped and the dive guides well trained and safety conscious. My special thanks to Luther, my guide in 14 dives, and to the very friendly personnel of the resort. The only negative thing is the many hours of flight from New. York. I hope to return again.

We booked for 6 nights and extended our stay for 9 nights as it was so good we just couldn't leave. Nona cooks the most delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, see the sunrise but get the afternoon shade. They can organise all your diving or snorkeling trips, rent motorbike to see more of the island etc.
Located in the famed diving site of Bunaken, Onong Resort offers cozy and homey beachfront accommodations featuring free WiFi access throughout the property.

Absolutely picturesque location! Snorkeling was amazing!
The dolphin tour was INCREDIBLE!! We loved "flying" with the dolphins our driver sped up as soon as they were right below us, at the front of the boat. To get them to play and keep up with us!
We saw a spotted ray, a lion fish and multiple turtles while snorkeling after seeing the dolphins!

We really loved this guesthouse. It is the best value for money in the island by far. Well located near Blue Shark, cheapest diving center, the rooms are comfortable, best for we are in Indonesia and great quantity, and the host are just amazing. We strongly recommend this guesthouse. 🙏 thanks for everything

The food was very good. Ferdinand was great, the ferry wasn't running so he was able to find alternative transportation back and forth so we didn't miss out on our time at Bunaken. The reef is right in front of the facility.

Our family had a lovely stay at The Village Bunaken. We were tucked away in the mangroves which was perfect for reading books and relaxing. The snorkeling is awesome, and our children had a very good time learning about the aquatic ecosystem that surrounds the island. Highlights include the friendly staff, the cozy atmosphere and the afternoon tea time.

Such a great experience. The lodge is located very close to the beach where the boat drops you off. The rooms are very comfy and have AC. Be prepared for a bucket shower!
Dion is very friendly and helpful, the diving is very good value and the crew are kind and very good at their jobs.
The best part for us was the food!! All three meals are included and the home cooking is really incredible and delicious, they should.open a restaurant! We miss it already
Overall we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again

Island of Bunaken is very accessible on a short boat ride from Manado harbor. The island itself is very quiet, almost boring if you come looking for lively nightlife or bars & restaurants. The main attraction are the coral reefs, still relatively pristine with its marine life ecosystem ... let's hope that it can continue to stay that way.

The island is very beautiful, a place from which to go diving and snorkling. There is everything for everyone. Unfortunately, the plastic is at home in a national park! Tourist activity has started to destroy the coral reef in some places. In a few years Bunaken park will be only in name. It is a recommended place for those who practice diving, less a place to relax.

Dive operation Celebes Divers made me feel very welcome and couldn't do enough to assist my diving. At 78 years old and with a scuba career of nearly 50 years, Dive leader Ali and the other dive team members plus the boat crew did all they could to assist me in exiting the water, given my knee problems, by me doffing my equipment in the water, crew members lifting it up onto the deck, so I could climb aboard unencumbered.
Dived an interesting Japanese freighter wreck sunk by the Americans in World War 2 and several reefs chock a block with fish & corals. Well done Celebes Divers staff!

Airport transfers must be arranged through the resort.
Airport transfers must be arranged through the resort. Don't even attempt to do this yourself. You have to love swimming, snorkelling and or diving to make the most of your stay. The resort is in the bunaken national park - so the sites are pretty amazing. There is a spa to enjoy after the relaxing dives. Food is great so no need to drag snack along. Not mush to buy - so make sure you have the essentials! Enjoy a fab experience!

Loved Bunaken, stayed one week on either side of the island in full board resorts which was good because both sides are so different. Many good dive boats/teams and great snorkeling from the beach or go out with a dive boat. The small town deserves some time spent there and next time I'd stay in town for a few days as well.

If you are looking at Bunaken as a holiday destination you...
If you are looking at Bunaken as a holiday destination you are probably already aware of what an amazing place it is for diving or snorkelling, lots of healthy coral and sea life including turtles, rays, small sharks and a never ending variety of fish.
It's quite a quiet location which is perfect if you are looking for peace. Bunaken is a very small island so there isn't a town where you can go partying or anything. you are likely to spend the majority of your time in the resort although you can go and explore a little if you wish.
Well trained diving personnel and generally, a well run very professional operation.
Good diving equipment.
The help I got with ticketing for my next destination.
Excellent location for diving, and snorkeling.
The reef up front.
Pick up from hotel and drop off to airport worked well.
To some extent I was the beneficiary of the recent reopening after Covid and the greater availability of personnel per customer. Still, I would come back to Kuda Laut and Siladen any time. My 8 days here were by far the best of my 23 days in Indonesia.
3Will Bunaken is well located along the east shore of Bunaken island. They offer a very convenient one-hour transit to and from Manado airport (expensive though - €40 one-way)
Besides, rooms are basic but clean, diving gear is in a passable condition and there’s good snorkeling right in front of the resort.
The highlight for us was the food, and in particular the kitchen staff. They went above and beyond to cook us special vegetarian meals every day, and all of them were delicious.
wonderful familialresort on a small green island close to Bunaken island, we got an upgrade to a spacious bungalow, very good and well organised diving center, great dive spots with plenty of turtles and also amazing muck night dive, delicious food with several choices for lunch and dinner, nice breakfast, nice pool at the beach, transfer to and from resort well organised and on time
Erlyk and his team are very nice to be around and always helpful. Anything we needed or asked for was taken care of immediately. the food is simple and freshly cooked indonesian and local specialities.I have never seen my son eat such portions! We miss it, miss the team, they are like family, and we will come back!
We really loved this guesthouse. It is the best value for money in the island by far. Well located near Blue Shark, cheapest diving center, the rooms are comfortable, best for we are in Indonesia and great quantity, and the host are just amazing. We strongly recommend this guesthouse. 🙏 thanks for everything
Super friendly homestay run by Helmi and Yoke. The food is just amazing and definitely a reason to stay in this place. It’s also possible to book snorkeling tours and other trips directly wirh the owners. The prices are fair, too. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Bunaken.
Great experience and exquisite people,
I really felt like I was part of the family and been treated like a king.
Ope and Olga are outstanding hosts, if you want a real authentic Bunaken experience, then it doesn't get any better than this! Highly recommend and will definitely come back
Everything. Convenient location right on the beach and close to the pier, great view from the sun lounges. Professional diving, the food package is great, the atmosphere is nice and chilled. They always do their best to make you feel comfortable.
Great spot discovered last minute for CNY trip! Hotel & rooms are very nice despite the remote location, staff is super attentive and friendly, food is great too.
Of course you have the diving.., easy & pretty all around 15-20mn away!
Guests are spoiled here - loved the personal, friendly attention. Staff, food, facilities, diving, location... - 5-star service/resort. Their attention to detail is impeccable, setting a high standard of excellence
warm helpful hosts, beautiful place, great food (a little pricey but you’re on a remote island and it was delicious!) Amazing diving with really nice dive master. the reefs are vibrant
It is the last hotel at the bunaken island, if you want a quite place, it is very good but you can go anywhere because it is far for everything, you just have to stay at the hotel
Expert divers, enjoyed diving with them. You could not ask for a better location. You are located at the new pier. A short walk from the public pier. And the food is GREAT.
Incredible meals, every one of them.
Beautifully landscaped, clean and simple bungalows.
Dive equipment great, dive master very knowledgeable.
Diving is incredible
The hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable. The island Bunaken is amazing. If you like snorkeling/diving and a comfortable stay, this is the place!
