Sunset Guest House & Bar, hotel in Bunaken

Facing the seafront in Bunaken, Sunset Guest House & Bar has a private beach area and a bar. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay.

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.

The Village Bunaken, hotel in Bunaken

The Village Bunaken features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Bunaken. The accommodation provides a private beach area, as well as a restaurant and a bar.

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.

Blue Shark Divers Bunaken, hotel in Bunaken

Situated in Bunaken, Blue Shark Divers Bunaken features air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. Guests staying at this homestay have access to a balcony.

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!

EL Homestay Bunaken, hotel in Bunaken

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.

3WILL Bunaken Dive Resort, hotel in Bunaken

Located in Bunaken, 3WILL Bunaken Dive Resort is only a short distance from beautiful snorkelling and diving spots. It boasts a diving centre, massage services and a tour desk.

Well maintained, great staff, well run dive operation. All the dive gear was in great order, the staff focussed on providing an enjoyable dive with.an appropriate level of safety. The night dives were extraordinary, and the onshore resort very comfortable. There’s a great bar just up the road when you’ve had enough Bintang at the resort that smashes Caparinhas. Really enjoyable range of guests, mostly dive nuts but generally quite harmless. Would be very happy to stay here again.

Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort, hotel in Bunaken

Offering a year-round outdoor pool and a private beach area, Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort is set in Siladen Island in the Bunaken Islands, North Sulawesi Region. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

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

    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...

    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.

    3Will Bunaken is well located along the east shore of Bunaken island. They offer a very convenient one-hour transit to and from Manado airport (expensive though - €40 one-way) Besides, rooms are basic but clean, diving gear is in a passable condition and there’s good snorkeling right in front of the resort. The highlight for us was the food, and in particular the kitchen staff. They went above and beyond to cook us special vegetarian meals every day, and all of them were delicious.

    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.
