Situated in Bunaken, 13 km from Manado Harbor, Lekker Gezellig Dive Resort Manado features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. With a restaurant, the 2-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Guests can make use of a bar. "Lekker gezellig" fits perfectly for this dive resort. The staff always takes the time for a friendly conversation and is super helpful. Greis and Inka really made a difference to our stay. Everything we need is arranged very quickly. The pickup from the airport was very well organized. We have enjoyed the food, both indonesian and Manadonese dishes, it is very fulfilling and accommodating to our preferences and needs. Breakfast is a pleasant surprise every morning and always comes with bread, fresh fruits and local coffee. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. We really like the terrace with the view, too. The pool is awesome for relaxing and bird watching. Additionally, the owner appears to be very involved and genuinely cares about the guests' happiness. We love the jungle vibe of the resort, very peaceful, with many birds and other beautiful creatures around. The jetty through the mangrove really adds to the experience, a perfect location to do mindblowing dives.  I would recommend lekker gezellig to anyone who enjoys the jungle experience and is looking for warm North-Sulawesi hospitality.

Located in Tomohon, 33 km from Manado Harbor, Wawowow provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The property is non-smoking and is situated 12 km from Mount Lokon.

The resort offers an à la carte or Asian breakfast. Wawowow is a very special place. But it’s not for everyone. If you want to be away from city sounds and pollution, way out in the peace of the countryside among farms and mountain views — and if you are a person who enjoys the ruggedness of tent or A-frame cabin camping, then you will love Wawowow. Alvin has built this off-the-grid retreat himself, adding to it each year. He and his staff are caring and helpful. The well laid out grounds are covered in lawns and most if not all tents and cabins have small brick firepits. Alvin can provide the firewood for them. When I was there a number of people sat around these campfires at night singing and playing guitars. No sound amplification is allowed. Some people chose to stay on the grounds for several days. I used it as a jumping off place each morning to tour different parts of the Tomohon area each day., returning each evening.

Panorama Cottage has a garden, private beach area, a terrace and restaurant in Bunaken. Staff on site can arrange airport transfers.

Guests at the resort will be able to enjoy activities in and around Bunaken, like hiking. This was one of my favorite stays in Indonesia. The view from the room was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the food was the best on my trip. The vibe of Bunaken is very relaxed and the snorkeling is amazing right in front of the Panorama Cottages. If you stay at Panorama Cottages you will eat with the guests from Panorama Backpackers, and there is a lot of great company. I tried snorkeling directly in front of the property and also joined a tour. Both are worth it. The fish and turtles on the reef are incredible, and the prices are excellent for the tours and equipment rental. I also appreciated the quality of the rental equipment because you never know what you will get when you rent.

Nomad Divers Bangka features a garden, private beach area, a shared lounge and terrace in Manado. Guests can dine in the restaurant or a drink at the bar and free WiFi is available.

At the resort, all rooms come with a balcony. The units at Nomad Divers Bangka come with a private bathroom equipped with a shower. Our stay at Nomad Divers Bangka was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home, thanks to Marijn, the incredibly friendly owner. We shared some great conversations with him over a beer and even spent a few fun evenings playing dice together, it really felt like staying with friends. The bungalows are beautiful, traditional Indonesian-style, full of charm and comfort. The diving here is world-class, with some of the most stunning marine life we’ve ever seen. If you love diving, this place is paradise. And let’s talk about the food: incredible. Out of the three resorts we visited in Indonesia, this one had by far the best meals. Every dish was delicious, fresh, and varied, a real highlight of the stay. You can also take a nice 30-minute walk through the forest to reach a nearby village, which we really enjoyed, peaceful and easy to do. This place is not just about diving or relaxing, it’s about connection, nature, and genuine people. Highly, highly recommended. I really hope we can come back one day! Arthur & Ella
