Helmi and Yoke were wonderful, welcoming hosts who showed great care for their guests. Nothing was too much trouble, dive trip, transfers and oddball requests dealt with efficiently and with grace. The food was simply amazing. Great use of local resources to produce a local cuisine that was second to none on the island. Whilst largely fish or chicken based, every meal was different, and delicious. Fresh tastes, plenty of vegetables, cold beer and warm smiles. We had only booked one night, planning to extend but unfortunately we had to move as our room was already booked. No problems, Helmi and Yoke were only too happy to have us as casual diners, which ended up to be every evening meal for the remaining week we were on the Island.
The rooms are quite spartan, air conditioning is coming, but everything is clean and well presented.

I spend lovely three days here, the place is great.
The Saff is amazing, very friendly, warm and flexibel. And the atmosphere was very familiar.
And they cooked for sure the best meals ever!
The little beach got always cleaned up, and i would recomend to take a walk on the island, near the beach.
I enjoyed the snorceling with turtles very much!

We had a great time at cakalang with Fernando and his wife being extremely accomodating. Debbie the receptionist/cook was amazing and made the best food we have had in Indonesia. Great diving experience with the team here also.
Can’t wait to return some time soon!

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!

We spent five nights at El Homestay as a group of four friends. Before arriving in Bunaken, I thought it would be too much time there, but once we arrived at El Homestay, we didn't want to leave.... It has been amazing staying here and experiencing Bunaken. There is a lot to do: snorkeling, diving, dolphins, sandbank, mangroves, visiting Siladen Island, hiking, renting a motorbike, and visiting the viewpoint. We can't wait to be back next year. Thank you Stefen + Family!
Island of Bunaken is very accessible on a short boat ride...
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.
Fantastic value for money and the food was wonderful. Beautiful views from the room and really friendly people. We had a very relaxing time. Be warned there is no hot water in shower (was not an issue for us as there is no winter in Bunaken), no WiFi in room (WiFi in the common area/dining hall was fast and reliable) and no air con (ceiling fan available, but otherwise no solution there, pray for good weather). Bring insect repellent!
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!
Good, freshly cooked food every day. Very clean. Various snorkeling and diving spots close by. High quality diving and snorkeling equipment for rent. They have some of the lowest prices for diving and snorkeling on the island. Laundry service was good and reliable. Would recommend it to experienced divers. They organize decent snorkeling trips as well. It's a beautiful and quiet location, but still very central.
The room has been well maintained, you can see the owner really take care of this place. bed is comfortable, bathroom is very clean.
I love they decorated my bathroom with flowers and plante, and there were so many orchids opening during my great stay.
Food was excellent! after long travel in Sulawesi, their food saved my stomach. nothing to complain about after visit the rest of the island.
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
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.
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
Very good place with a great staff. They really make you feel like home. The food is also great. Only 1 minute walk from the beach. The island is also great and the diving is very good. I planned to stay one week and ended up staying 3 weeks
It has a really nice vibe. Bed was comfortable. For the amount that you pay, it is not a bad place to stay, if you manage your expectations about staying somewhere very basic. But I think everywhere in Bunaken is very basic.
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!!!
The staff at 3will is the best you will ever see. They do their absolute best to make your stay as best as possible. Furthermore they provide excellent diving/snorkling trips and provide excellent food and accommodation.
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
Incredible meals, every one of them.
Beautifully landscaped, clean and simple bungalows.
Dive equipment great, dive master very knowledgeable.
Diving is incredible
