Very good position, the reef just in front of the residence is really incredible, you'll see lots of turtles doing snorkeling

A gem of a hotel. Comfortable rooms. Great food. Foo was very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more. My wife had a dive with Yorry who was very professional. The diving was spectacular. I snorkelled and it was the best snorkelling I’ve had in Indonesia. So many turtles. We’re planning our return.

Fantastic 5-night stay with Dion and his family, in almost-beachfront property within main Bunaken village. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, with private bathroom and a small sitting area with chair(s) and clothes drying rack, just outside my room, all within access to wifi internet. The beach, which is 25m away, is kept quite clean and a great place to unwind after the dives or before dinner. Three delicious meals are served at set times each day, the menu including rice/noodle, vegetables, and a protein meat/fish dish ... every day slightly different. Great setup to meet the other guests and get to know Dion and his family. I organized 8 dives with Dion's affiliated Blue Shark Diving shop, and each outing was very special. And lastly, Dion himself was very helpful in organizing the next leg of my journey ... he helped book reliable, clean private cars, and tours for my next trajectory to the Togean Islands. In summary, a very memorable stay. Thank you!

Excellent food, lots of fruit, good variety, different dishes every meal. Fish was very fresh and often accompanied by a photo of the actual fish. Stephen and Missi made us feel like part of the family. Stephen arranged for car and boat transportation from the airport and later to Tangkoko. Also for a snorkeling boat. Very attentive and interested in our welfare.

They upgraded us to a sea view bungalow which was spacious and comfortable. The adjoining bathroom was open to the sky for the shower (the rest had a roof 🙂)
It’s a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Indonesia-very quiet at this time of year (end of February)
The staff were all very friendly and helpful

The airport pick-up service is really convenient, I will recommend everyone to book this service in advance. It just makes the trip so much easier.
The resort provides 3 meals a day, very delicious Indonesian foods and very big portion too. I like this service very much since I have no interest in exploring the town. I was there just for diving.
Diving sites are amazing, I think the visibility could be better in Jun, Jul, and Aug.

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.
An amazing stay, this is heaven on earth in Bunaken! The resort staff was superbly accommodating, making sure everything was done superbly and all our wishes were taken care of. Everyone is superbly kind, the resort is gorgeous, the diving is one of the best I have experienced... I am not doing this review justice in this short summary, because it really was so amazingly unreal. Don't think twice, just book and enjoy!
Really lovely resort grounds with both pool and beach access. We stayed in a family cottage that was really well laid out and super comfortable.
Meals had a good selection of both Indonesian and western options. Staff was great throughout the stay. Our daughter had her birthday while we were there and they made her feel really special with a custom cake, live band singing happy birthday, etc.
pros: good food, i'm vegan and i could ask the kitchen to make the fried rice vegan, just use veggies instead of egg/meat. it's also near the pier where you can snorkel and see turtles, fishes and beautiful corals! the hotel is also run by a lovely family and near the 4sisters diver, where you can arrange your diving needs, including a certification course. AC and hot water work fine
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.
It’s a small resort nicely integrated into the small village.
The personal care of the whole team around Sarah was a great experience and the food unique and the best we ever had enjoyed.
The common meals on the beach are beautiful and you can chat wit the other guests at the dinner.
The house riff is also on a very good condition.
My stay at Novita was incredible. I felt like part of a family. The food is excellent and the family is adorable. The accommodation is very comfortable and the value for money unbeatable. I only want to come back to Bunaken to see them! The girls are very nice too. We went snorkeling together. Thanks a lot. I recommend 100%.
The location of the hotel is near the tourist port, in an area with many restaurants and for this reason it is noisy. The staff is very kind, the food is very good, there is a possibility of massage and transfer from/to the airport. There is also the possibility of carrying out some activities arranged by the hotel staff.
We had the best time at 3Will Dive Resort. Everybody was super welcoming and they tried everything to make it an amazing stay. The reef and diving spots were amazing, they took care of our dietary wishes and it felt like a family with the team and the other guests.
Thanks again!!
The location of the resort along the coastline, there are beautiful cabins and pools, there are three lovely dogs, there are friendly staff, there are versatile and warm diving instructors, there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere，the delicious food~~~
Beach is amazing, located on the better side of Bunaken - the other side is full of mangroves and hardly any sand to relax. Dives go out everyday, bungalow was very sweet and comfortable. Meals are delicious, staff are all very helpful and friendly
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!
I love how welcome Rob and Sylvia made me feel at their resorts. Sven & his team were also a great dive guide, very passionate about diving.
Not to mentioned the lovely meal that’s included with the stay. Scrumptious!!!
My wife and I had an incredble time at the Village. Vivy, the manager, quickly became a companion, host, and friend. The food, location, rooms, and company were all exceptional. I would recommend this place to anyone.
I had a great stay at Bunaken Lodge. The room is basic but clean, comfortable and well located. The food was fantastic and Olga and Ope were so friendly and helpful. I wish I’d been able to stay longer.
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
Love the rustic cabins right on the shore. Food was very good. Staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Diving staff were experienced, great guides, very friendly
Staying with Novita was wonderful! She made the island immediately feel like home. She was welcoming and accommodating, and helped me with everything I needed.
