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 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!
Super friendly staff. The owners are great. There is a very friendly vibe. The food is delicious, homemade and shared with the other guests. The view from the room is incredible. The restaurant/ lounge area is super comfortable. Great dives and snorkel opportunities with equipment can be arranged on site. Diving instructors are amazing. You can even snorkel from the beach. Motorbike rentals can be arranged.
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.
The food was uniformly excellent with great variety and careful preparation. The managers and staff were outstanding. Diving was spectacular and the guides highly skilled. The most meaningful aspect was the attention given by the managers, Ana and Miguel and Daniel and Melania, to myself as a solo traveler. They made me feel most welcome and like a part of the team. Unforgettable.
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.
The 3will dive resort afford the full meal. Although the dishes are nearly same everyday, but every dishes are delicious especially the curry chicken and fresh fruit, I love the papaya most. About the accommodation, it's really natural, but I felt so annoy with those ants. About diving, I highly recommend Adam, I've been dived with him about 15 dives, he's so patient and humor.
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!
Joke and Helmi are just lovely! Every day we had three meals, everyone completely different and tasty! They should open a restaurant! It was a pleasure to stay at their accommodation and we just can recommend it! In the village, directly next to place where the public boat enters. keep on running your business.
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
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
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!!!
Great location, terrific value for money and the diving was professionally organised with first rate equipment. Food cooked on premises was some of the best we've tasted in Indonesia a d we've been travelling for 6 weeks
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
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.
Novita and her family are the nicest people ever. you really get the feeling of being with the local people of Bunaken Island.
All 3 courses are absolutely lovely too!
Loved staying here and meeting Novita and her family! Food was delicious, everyone was so nice! Bunaken in general was such a great island loved our time here!
Sarah and her team are exceptional, kind, and genuine. The food tastes delicious and fresh. Snorkeling tour was beautiful. The view is the best on the island.
