This place exceeded my expectations even after reading the wonderful reviews. Everything is simple but truly amazing. Rose & Tom do a great job running the place. Food was always delicious and fresh, diving was spectacular. The crew really know what they are doing. All equipment is brand new. Value for money is very fair. I cant say enough good... More

Have just returned from a 3 week stay at the Mamaling Resort, What can i say it's simply the best for diving, snorkeling, food, Toms entertainment and relaxation. It's a world all of it's own. Rose and Tom who own the resort couldn't make it any more special and personal if they tried. Rose meets you at the port on... More

We searched here in Tripadvisor for a good place in Bunaken and with Mamaling we found an amazing place to stay. In Manado we were in Sintesa Hotel and their management was poor. So we didn`t expect too much for our next stay. But from Mamaling Resort everything was fabulous organized from day 1 to day 5. The transport to... More

Tom and Rose are wonderful hosts. We went diving for more than a week at Mamaling. Mamaling is at the other side of the island's village-town, so it is a very quiet place in the middle of nature. There is also no beach-spot, so you have to wade through mangroves to get to the dive-boat when it's high tide. The... More

In Short - I would go back there any day. Friendly - Helpful - Serene - Inclusive - Clean - This is for you if you like it quiet, if you want diving but are not fussed about needing to have a beach, if you like a communal eating experience, if you don't mind cold (more tempered) showers. My husband... More

The place that personifies textbook description of quaint, rustic, charming, gracious and fabulous. Rose, Tom and there team have created a superbly cute world, right in the middle of wilderness and quietude, which is surrounded by the greens of the mangroves, the blues of the ocean, the symphony of the rising and receding tides, the anxiety of a jungle and...

Tom and Rose are running a great dive resort in a awesome location. Rose came out and met us and accompanied us on our transfer out to the lodge, and also on our return trip to Manado. The rooms were large and well kept with a large bathroom and a hammock on the patio. Nearby the dining room/lounge is a... More

Our stay at the Mamaling resort was perfect. The surroundings are stunning. You could just grab the snorkels, walk from the resort trough the mangroves into the water and you're surrounded by corals! We stayed for one week and arranged a very good PADI open water diving course via the Mamaling resort. The huts are brand new, luxurious and comfortable... More
