Super friendly staff. The owners are great. There is a very friendly vibe. The food is delicious, homemade and shared with the other guests. The view from the room is incredible. The restaurant/ lounge area is super comfortable. Great dives and snorkel opportunities with equipment can be arranged on site. Diving instructors are amazing. You can even snorkel from the beach. Motorbike rentals can be arranged.

Snorkeling on the dive boat was excellent. Felt I was being looked out for. Two different locations each morning. Great dive crew. Bed in the cabin was comfortable.

We only stayed one night because my husband developed a quite severe ear infection, and we had to return to the mainland. The owner, Willeke, was so gracious and kind and refused to let us pay for the entire stay. She also arranged our transportation to and from Manado, which was a great help. We did have dinner and breakfast there. The food was quite good. The rooms are spartan; no toiletries, hot water, or air con. The resort is in a lovely spot and we saw a wonderful sunset from our front porch. There is a reef in front of the resort, which, unfortunately we did not have a chance to explore. The guests who were there when we arrived were all divers and all seemed quite happy with the resort and their experience.

The entire team from the owners to the support staff were unfailingly friendly, helpful and good-humoured. The food was simple but really delicious. The diving trips were well organised and we were well looked after by the whole crew. All in all, a really lovely place.

Good food and we loved going snorkelling with the diveboat for just 5 euros per person. The corals are still healthy and there is many little fish around. We enjoyed our stay and felt very welcome!

The place was so peaceful, and the house reef a 10 minute swim away. Good coral and lots of fish. It was so nice that divers and snorkelling were with the same boat. Food is good. It is not spicy, but there is delicious sambal to add if you like. There is a fridge full of cold Bintang and soft drinks. Things are well organised, and Willeke is great and kind host. We had a wonderful time PS. We read that the beach could be polluted with rubbish. But is our travels we have seen that this can happen at any beach if the current is in that direction. When we were the beach was clean

Willeke and her team was amazing and the food was really good and generous portions. The diving was also very good the dive master Jimmy was awesome. We were working remote and the wifi was good to have meetings and they had the generator to provide us with electricity when there was a power failure. Can't praise this place enough, would really like to go back!

I recently had an amazing 7-night stay at Happy Gecko's bungalow resort in Indonesia for diving. It was an absolute dream! The bungalows were cozy and well-maintained, providing the perfect retreat after a long day of diving. The staff at Happy Gecko were incredibly friendly, always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. The diving experience was absolutely breathtaking! The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate, guiding us through some of the most stunning underwater landscapes I've ever seen. The resort's location was ideal, offering easy access to beautiful dive sites and incredible scenic views. I can't recommend Happy Gecko enough to fellow diving enthusiasts. If you're looking for a memorable and enjoyable resort experience in Indonesia, this is the place to be!
