The food was very good. Ferdinand was great, the ferry wasn't running so he was able to find alternative transportation back and forth so we didn't miss out on our time at Bunaken. The reef is right in front of the facility.

Our family had a lovely stay at The Village Bunaken. We were tucked away in the mangroves which was perfect for reading books and relaxing. The snorkeling is awesome, and our children had a very good time learning about the aquatic ecosystem that surrounds the island. Highlights include the friendly staff, the cozy atmosphere and the afternoon tea time.

Such a great experience. The lodge is located very close to the beach where the boat drops you off. The rooms are very comfy and have AC. Be prepared for a bucket shower!
Dion is very friendly and helpful, the diving is very good value and the crew are kind and very good at their jobs.
The best part for us was the food!! All three meals are included and the home cooking is really incredible and delicious, they should.open a restaurant! We miss it already
Overall we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again

Island of Bunaken is very accessible on a short boat ride from Manado harbor. The island itself is very quiet, almost boring if you come looking for lively nightlife or bars & restaurants. The main attraction are the coral reefs, still relatively pristine with its marine life ecosystem ... let's hope that it can continue to stay that way.

The island is very beautiful, a place from which to go diving and snorkling. There is everything for everyone. Unfortunately, the plastic is at home in a national park! Tourist activity has started to destroy the coral reef in some places. In a few years Bunaken park will be only in name. It is a recommended place for those who practice diving, less a place to relax.

Dive operation Celebes Divers made me feel very welcome and couldn't do enough to assist my diving. At 78 years old and with a scuba career of nearly 50 years, Dive leader Ali and the other dive team members plus the boat crew did all they could to assist me in exiting the water, given my knee problems, by me doffing my equipment in the water, crew members lifting it up onto the deck, so I could climb aboard unencumbered.
Dived an interesting Japanese freighter wreck sunk by the Americans in World War 2 and several reefs chock a block with fish & corals. Well done Celebes Divers staff!

Airport transfers must be arranged through the resort.
Airport transfers must be arranged through the resort. Don't even attempt to do this yourself. You have to love swimming, snorkelling and or diving to make the most of your stay. The resort is in the bunaken national park - so the sites are pretty amazing. There is a spa to enjoy after the relaxing dives. Food is great so no need to drag snack along. Not mush to buy - so make sure you have the essentials! Enjoy a fab experience!

Loved Bunaken, stayed one week on either side of the island in full board resorts which was good because both sides are so different. Many good dive boats/teams and great snorkeling from the beach or go out with a dive boat. The small town deserves some time spent there and next time I'd stay in town for a few days as well.

If you are looking at Bunaken as a holiday destination you...
If you are looking at Bunaken as a holiday destination you are probably already aware of what an amazing place it is for diving or snorkelling, lots of healthy coral and sea life including turtles, rays, small sharks and a never ending variety of fish.
It's quite a quiet location which is perfect if you are looking for peace. Bunaken is a very small island so there isn't a town where you can go partying or anything. you are likely to spend the majority of your time in the resort although you can go and explore a little if you wish.
Our stay in Terry‘s resort was great! Diving was very well organized, the equipment and the dive masters were very good and we always felt safe.
One of the highlights was the excellent food which was freshly prepared just for us three times a day!
Make sure you rent one of the beach view bungalows to get the best view.
The bungalows are simple but equipped with everything you need (no warm water, WIFI will be back soon). Only some of them might need a little refresh but that is constantly taken care of.
The room we had (sea view) was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, good mattress, lovely bathroom, nice view from the terrace. The overall atmosphere, both during the day and at night, is cozy, nested in nature. A lot of charm. Not mentioning the owner Fu who is a darling as well as the staff. Food is good and generous. Feet in the water. We are no divers but could enjoy some snorkeling from the hotel and did some kayaking as well. Super-quiet location too.
we experienced a fantastic week in Bobocha
Siladen island is amazing but Bobocha accommodation, team kindness and professionally, well trained by the best host we ever met in years a years around Asia made the stay unique and unforgettable.
cozy and clean cottages, amazing food and continuous cuddles all day long give an extra magic to this small slice of paradise.
thank you so much Sarah an to the whole team, we hope to back soon.
An amazing stay, this is heaven on earth in Bunaken! The resort staff was superbly accommodating, making sure everything was done superbly and all our wishes were taken care of. Everyone is superbly kind, the resort is gorgeous, the diving is one of the best I have experienced... I am not doing this review justice in this short summary, because it really was so amazingly unreal. Don't think twice, just book and enjoy!
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.
Great location in the village right next to the public ferry. The food was incredible, as mentioned by many others. You can experience the life of the people of Bunaken, as you are staying with a local family and everything happens on the street and beach around the house. The dive shop next door is also really good. Free water and coffee were also appreciated and the fan in the room an absolute necessity!
The local staff are really helpful and hospitable. They contacted and found a lab in Manado for PCR test that can issue out the test result within 24 hours, which really saved my time and cost. Thanks to the staff's company along to the lab, I complete the PCR test smoothly. It could be hard to even fill in the test registration form in Indonesian without their help in translation.
We really loved this guesthouse. It is the best value for money in the island by far. Well located near Blue Shark, cheapest diving center, the rooms are comfortable, best for we are in Indonesia and great quantity, and the host are just amazing. We strongly recommend this guesthouse. 🙏 thanks for everything
Beautiful hotel in perfect location. The reef directly at the hotel is incredibly well preserved and mostly intact and full of life. Rooms are cozy, staff are very friendly and the surroundings invite for taking a walk (or a scooter) into the "town" or to the Bunaken Café in the evening.
Very convenient location, good dive guides and comfortable bed. Most importantly the food is absolutely amazing! The best we've had in any homestay in Indonesia. Always fresh, plentiful and delicious. They catered to our dietary preferences, too.
I love how welcome Rob and Sylvia made me feel at their resorts. Sven & his team were also a great dive guide, very passionate about diving.
Not to mentioned the lovely meal that’s included with the stay. Scrumptious!!!
Fantastic location. Perfect for free diving, snorkeling and scuba diving. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent food and nice variety. Relaxing and quiet, just the sound of waves and wildlife in the surrounding.
Nice place to stay in Bunaken, on the top of a long stair leading to the beach.
Thé snorkeling from the beach is amazing when we get to the drop.
Beautiful coral and many fishes and turtles.
Good food.
Expert divers, enjoyed diving with them. You could not ask for a better location. You are located at the new pier. A short walk from the public pier. And the food is GREAT.
Novita and her family are the nicest people ever. you really get the feeling of being with the local people of Bunaken Island.
All 3 courses are absolutely lovely too!
hotel was closed and transfered to another hotel.
Onong resor is not the condition to stay at all.
i know this after arrival. manajemen t of onong is not honest.
Loved staying here and meeting Novita and her family! Food was delicious, everyone was so nice! Bunaken in general was such a great island loved our time here!
The hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable. The island Bunaken is amazing. If you like snorkeling/diving and a comfortable stay, this is the place!
