Very convenient location, good dive guides and comfortable bed. Most importantly the food is absolutely amazing! The best we've had in any homestay in Indonesia. Always fresh, plentiful and delicious. They catered to our dietary preferences, too.

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.

I’m fully satisfied staying with this dive centre. To be honest, at the first day just for checking I visited another centre near and was shocked in a bad way. So now I have no regrets that have dived with this professional team because I may compare with others. Especially if you plan to rent equipment - I may recommend 3WILL Bunaken.
Food was tasty. Bungalow was clean. Lots of areas for spending free time (if you have powers after busy diving day). Also in one step nice home spot for snorkelling and diving.
Thank you guys for a great finish of my vacation. I will be glad to come back
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.
Me and my friend had a wonderful time in 3Will resort! We stayed for 4 days, diving and snorkeling. The reef is gorgeous, with abundance of fish, coral, and more turtles we’ve ever seen.
The bungalows are comfortable, the property is very pretty and relaxing, and the food is some of the best we had in Indonesia!
To make the experience even better, the owners and everyone who works at 3Will are super friendly, helpful, and have a great energy! We didn’t even want to leave and hope to be back again soon!
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.
The relaxing village vibe was really great as we bonded over snorkeling/diving activities and meals with other guests. Food was great too as they catered to our halal needs. Vivi our host was great at coordinating our activities and the entire crew gave top notch services and became our second family throughout our entire stay. Did the discover dive and Dylan, the instructor, was patient and gave good instructions. Made me feel safe as a first time diver.
we experienced a fantastic week in Bobocha
Siladen island is amazing but Bobocha accommodation, team kindness and professionally, well trained by the best host we ever met in years a years around Asia made the stay unique and unforgettable.
cozy and clean cottages, amazing food and continuous cuddles all day long give an extra magic to this small slice of paradise.
thank you so much Sarah an to the whole team, we hope to back soon.
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!
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
The local staff are really helpful and hospitable. They contacted and found a lab in Manado for PCR test that can issue out the test result within 24 hours, which really saved my time and cost. Thanks to the staff's company along to the lab, I complete the PCR test smoothly. It could be hard to even fill in the test registration form in Indonesian without their help in translation.
Excellent hotel and amazing value for money. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the portions very generous. They change the menu every day so it stays interesting. The diving is also fantastic, and the prices are very reasonable. The diving instructors are great and it's all organized very well.
A lovely stay, Siladen really is a dream for those who like snorkeling, and at this particular hotel the house reef is incredible, suitable even for children and teenagers! The hotel was very attractive, the rooms great, and the food was super tasty. On a short break from Singapore, it was THE best, I will be back!
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.
The entire team from the owners to the support staff were unfailingly friendly, helpful and good-humoured. The food was simple but really delicious. The diving trips were well organised and we were well looked after by the whole crew. All in all, a really lovely place.
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
The staff were super friendly and helpful. The snorkeling on the house reef was the best on the island. The diversity of the fish and quantity was exceptional. We loved the fact that no music was played in the dining area.
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!!!
Nice place to stay in Bunaken, on the top of a long stair leading to the beach.
Thé snorkeling from the beach is amazing when we get to the drop.
Beautiful coral and many fishes and turtles.
Good food.
Incredible meals, every one of them.
Beautifully landscaped, clean and simple bungalows.
Dive equipment great, dive master very knowledgeable.
