    Excellent location with fantastic snorkeling right in front of the bungalows! The hospitality from the hosts was outstanding. We had an incredible time and felt very welcomed, wishing we could have stayed longer.

    Best place we’ve ever stayed, cannot recommend it highly enough! The beach 5 meters from the room has some of the best snorkeling we have ever tried. We even saw a sea turtle. Borja is extremely attentive and helpful, and will try to help you regardless of what you need. We stayed in both a deluxe room and later a bungalow. Both are amazing but the bungalow has a bit more privacy. It takes roughly 15 minutes by scooter to get to Gapang Beach where there are diving and freediving schools.

    Nothing to complain! The hosts are doing their best to make you feel comfortable. It is a family business so this should be the expectation. We are definitely coming back if we are in the area again.

    The Place was amazing. Great value for money. The room has a sea view, it is very quiet, comfortable, clean and you have a fridge, desk and drinking water in the room. Wifi works well and I could work and take online meetings with no problem. The food prepared at the restaurant is some of the best I have eaten in Indonesia. Because of Ramadan food options needed to be arranged in advance but the host cooked for us during lunch also because on the island there would have been very limited options otherwise. The best thing is the reef right in front of the property that is basically your backyard. Beautiful snorkeling you can stay in the water for hours. They arranged for us a pick up and drop off at the ferry port and also a scooter rental at a reasonable price.

    To leave……..

    Borja and Jujun are amazing hosts. They do everything to fulfill the guests wishes. They arranged everthing, from transport from the airport to the ferry and from the island port to accommodation, island & snorkeling/ dolphin tours. They are working hard to make the accommodation even better then it already is (building new bungalows) in a eco friendly way. The bungalows are spotless, spacious, comfortable, very clean with hot shower and good wifi. Nice view over the bay for your morning coffee, at high tide the sea is a few steps away for snorkeling. Set menu is good quality with good variation if you stay a couple of days. If you like to stay in a remote place, this is the place to be!

    The absolute best place to stay on Palau Weh.😊 If you can get in and want a truly memorable experience this is your place. Yuyun and Borja are the perfect hosts nothing is too much trouble, they booked us on a fantastic tour and everything they recommend was amazing. Yuyun is a great cook and the restaurant has a fantastic view as do the rooms.

    Sometimes the sea is quite loud because it's really close to the rooms (other times this is the beauty of it :-)

    The hosts, Jujun and Borja are very kind and helpful persons. At the end, it was a bit sad to say goodbye to them. The room was very comfortable, we had everything what we needed. It has a big terrace, big enogh to do yoga or just relax comfortably. Their kitchen is very good, breakfast and dinner are available, but they also made lunch for us the day when we arrived and was very hungry. There are just a few bungalows, it's really cosy and private.

    "What could have been better?" was the last question we had and the answer was "Honestly, nothing". Everything was great.

    Borja and Yuyun are excellent hosts that offers you the warmest welcome that you can imagine. They are very kind and help you with any and every question you might have about the place and the island. Every single item in the rooms were well thought. Room was very clean. Having a mini fridge, boiler in the room was great to have. Location is fantastic as it's a bit remote in the island which offers you a calm place to relax. Having the ocean right beneath you is remarkable. Food in the restaurant which is running as a side business, "La Boca Chica", was a great surprise for us as it really exceeded our expectations for taste and variety. We were not comfortable to ride scooter and Borja was kind enough to give us a practice session which shows how far they are willing to go for helping their guests!

    Borja asked what they could do to improve the experience of staying at their homestay, I mentioned that to Borja that bedside lamps would have added a useful amenity at night. He informed me that they were ordered and hadn't been delivered yet. This is a couple who want you to feel comfortable!

    Borja and Yuyun are wonderful hosts in their homestay. Located on a tropical rocky beach that has abundant coral, fish life and visiting turtles. Comfortable rooms and bedding, clean bathroom facilities with quality tapware. It's a great place to unwind, to be mesmerised by the hordes of magical local butterflies in the garden, or to rock off to sleep to the gentle sounds of waves on the veranda hammock or lounge. With great local knowledge, recommendations for food and local highlights and help to make transport arrangements... Paradise 💫

They helped to arrange everything for you (scooter, trips, snorkeling equipment) and sent us to the best places. Food was delicious- Yunyun is an awesome chef - breakfast 10/10 and dinner too!!!

    Nothing, everything was wonderful.

    The bungalow at SeaGate is exactly where you want to spend any amount of nights on this tropical Indonesian island. It is comfortable and clean with a picturesque view which you can take in in the hammock on the balcony. Borja and Yuyun were seriously stand out hosts. They cooked amazing food for us, provided fresh coconuts, gave us lots of information, and rented out snorkel equipment and motorcycles. They looked after us with so much care and kindness, we truly feel that they are our friends upon leaving. We would definitely go back both because of the property but also Borja and Yuyun.

    Nothing to complain about. Everything was taken care of.

    We arrived at this beautiful, family-run place and were immediately warmly welcomed by Borja and Yuyun, the young owners of SeaGate. They gave us many tips and showed us their paradise right at the bay. During the time we were there, there only were two rooms and one bungalow - so not many people to expect in this calm realm. Once we've checked out the beautiful house reef (which you can access right from the terrace) Borja kindly organized us a scooter so we could access the nearby beaches and dive shops. The place is clean, comfy & beautiful, but what makes it so special is definitely the way Borja and Yuyun make you feel at home. They helped us with everything, yet weren't pushy at all and left us enough space to relax. Yuyuns cooking (Breakfast and Dinner) was outstanding as well. Book it as long as it's available ;) Their kindness exceeded regular customer care by far. We loved it there and would recommend it to anyone. Will definitely come back to SeaGate in Pulau Weh.

    I have stayed 4 days at SeaGate bungalows and it’s a beautiful place, I didn’t want to leave. Borja y Yuyun (the owners) are very caring and even after just few days the place felt more like a home away from home. It’s one of the best places I have stayed and I highly recommend it!

    The bungalow is conveniently located outside the town, but it is very easy to reach with a taxi. Borja and Yunyun are very kind and always happy to help you and give you a lot of interesting tips on where to eat and on secrets spots around the island. They also have scooters to rent at the bungalow and can organize the transport to the harbour. The staying at their bungalow was the highlight of my vacations

    The fact that I had to leave in the end😅

    - Watching the magnificent view of your private bay from the hammock. - Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves. - The bungalow having hotel like luxuries like a mini fridge, your own drink water tank and coffee and tea supplies. - The roofless shower. But most of all: The delightful hosts who will do anything in their power to make you feel as comfortable as possible and deliver the services that you may want or need. They are genuinely good people who really care about you, the community and also the environment. Tips: - Go have dinner with them at least once. Yuyun is a really good cook. And there is a future restaurant in the making! - Ask Borja for tips what to do around the island and where to get the best coffee. - Rent a scooter from the hosts to see the island. They are safe, well-maintained and helmets available. - Rent snorkel equipment from the hosts. (One of) the most beautiful snorkeling spot(s) is right in front of you. - If you want to go diving, make sure to enquire about it with Borja and Yuyun as they are both divemasters.

    We stayed with the lovely Borja and Yuyun in the gorgeous bungalow at Sea Gate for 5 wonderful nights. I cannot stress enough how thoughtful, kind and generous both Borja and Yuyun are with their time and local knowledge. The bungalow itself is BEAUTIFUL and contains all the luxuries one might need, such as a very comfortable bed, a ceiling fan, wifi, a hammock on the deck with a breathtaking view and a hot shower with a cut out roof- so you can shower under the stars! Yuyun's culinary skills are truly exceptional, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us as vegans. Her vegan breakfasts and dinners were nothing absolutely mouthwatering. Borja was exceeding helpful to us to ensure we managed to experience as much of the island as we could in our time there. All in all, I could not possibly recommend staying at Sea Gate any higher! If you were umming and ahhing about whether or not to visit Weh Island- believe me that the opportunity to stay at Sea Gate and interact with Borja and Yuyun should be reason enough to go :D
