The sunset behind Manado Tua, the dormant volcano, is just another reason to stay at Bunaken Island Dive Resort. After a day of diving or snorkeling, it's great to relax with new friends from all over the world with family-style dining. Villas are very comfortable and open to the breezes. Food is very generous and served by a helpful staff.... More

If you are planning on diving in Bunaken island, this is simply the best hotel in the island. The diving operation is excellent thanks to Swen, the owner of the dive shop. The dive masters have very good eyes to see and show you the creatures underwater and I must say it's amazing the diversity of animals you see in... More

We planned to stay here for 4 days and ended up staying more than a week. This place is a real hideaway, very relaxed. The view from our outside balcony was stunning, with breathtaking ocean views and beautiful sunsets every evening. When it gets dark you'll see a billion stars and in the morning you'll wake up to the sounds... More

Frank his wife & their staffs mostly exceeded our expectations, and we have to say mostly due to a mix up in our arrival pick up. We had prearranged for a Bunaken personal to meet us at the airport and transfer us to the docks and... More

Bunaken Island Resort proved that you can have a perfect dive vacation. Bunaken... More

Just back from 10 days at the Bunaken Island Resort. Good views from my beach bungi. Nice atmosphere. Food could be improved. After a remark it turned much better. But the most fantastic is the diving. I was in Manado in 1997. At that moment there was no accomodation on the Bunaken Island. So we went diving from the mainland.... More

We spent an amazing week diving in January 2012 in paradise at the Bunaken Island Resort. The resort is a boutique resort that caterers to divers, snorkelers, as well as those just looking for a beautiful romantic setting to relax and enjoy the sea. The bungalows were uniquely designed to blend with their environment, with private balconies either overlooking the... More
