My tour company arranged my stay here for one night. Nabucco Island Resort located at a small approximately 20,000 square meter island located near Maratua. Unlike Maratua Paradise Resort, they don't have water cottages, thus making the island looks a bit cramped. If you have free-time, I recommend walking around the island. You will see a small store that sells... More

Nabucco island is for divers. And all recreation is subordinate to diving. Diving boats is well-equipped and very fast. Staff is excellent! Bungalows are large enough with a veranda where there are two large chairs. You have to deal with Indonesian kitchen, but it is not so poor if only a very peppery. Diving is great, I think one of...

Five of us stayed at Nabucco in June for 2 nights, which was 7 nights too short! This really is the kind of place where you have the island and ocean to yourself...and need at least a week to enjoy everything it has to offer. The staff was incredibly professional and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about everyone... More

My husband and I stayed9 nights on Nabucco Island and another 4 nights on Nunukan Island, our first Indonesia trip, and we definitely loved it! It's a long haul to get down there so you need some traveller spirit and patience during these approx. 24 hours of non stop travelling, but it's quite interesting when you get to Balikpapan and...

This is a very special and unique place surrounded by real unspoiled nature which I would say you will not find in Maldives or Bali for example. But if you are after a 5 star luxury honeymoon place with butler and jacuzzi then this will never be the place for you. Having traveled around Kalimantan I can say the quality... More

This is a diving resort located in a small island in front of Kalimantan east coast, so small that there is only the resort and it takes 5 minutes walking to do the tour. Me and my friend had a great time there! The diving spots are amazing, and the diving center is run professionally and good equipment, and we... More

Rooms: The resort has 17 bungalow of 2 rooms each. If the other room, in the same bungalow, is occupied, as it was the case with us, then forget it! The wall separating the two rooms is such, that it is practically non-existent, from an acoustic viewpoint. You can hear EVERY single noise coming from your neighbor room, it is... More
