    no hot water for shower.

    The 3will dive resort afford the full meal. Although the dishes are nearly same everyday, but every dishes are delicious especially the curry chicken and fresh fruit, I love the papaya most. About the accommodation, it's really natural, but I felt so annoy with those ants. About diving, I highly recommend Adam, I've been dived with him about 15 dives, he's so patient and humor.

    Poor Wifi service. Is available only in the public areas, and even there - not always. I wish the dive instructors would have paid more attention to the snorkelers I've been badly burned by a fire coral, an incident that could've been easily avoided had I been given the proper warnings. .

    The location, the beach, the food, the atmosphere, the staff.

    Humidity in the room! We were there at rainy season and even air condition did not help (we kept it in 24/7). My shoes were moldy on the shelf, all clothes were moist all the time. But it's the rainy season

    Perfect stay for snorkeling. We stayed 10 nights and enjoyed every day there. You can go snorkel with divers, there is plenty to see for snorkelers omn dive sites and price is ok. We also took private trips to Tangkoko national park and also dolphin watching. Both were great! The food is delicious! If you do not like diving or snorkeling, you can come here just for food :) Every day different joyces (except breakfast), we just loved it! All area is lovely, the garden there is a paradise. At the evening you can walk to the village and enjoy sunset from the jetty. Or you can walk to massage or you can ask that they will take you to the massage.

    For us, the mattress felt like it might need replacing.

    Excellent food with lots of variation. Lovely gardens next to the mangrove beach (and the beach was pretty clean). Helpful staff. Diving was excellent and well organised. Location is just a short ride from the public ferry boat (thank you for the free pick up and drop off!) Diving costs initially felt pricey, but we think the quality of equipment, boat, guide and having small dive groups justified it.

    We would really have liked there to be a clear non-smoking policy in the dining area. Not all guests were considerate.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful. The snorkeling on the house reef was the best on the island. The diversity of the fish and quantity was exceptional. We loved the fact that no music was played in the dining area.

    Bathroom wasn’t so clean. Bugs and insect poo everywhere in the bathroom. I understand it’s an island but they don’t clean up the room in the whole 3 days we stayed. Maybe I should have asked! Room ceilings were low in the apartment block ( I stayed on second level). I know the idea is to spend time out at sea, but it would be nice to come home to a spacious room. I think the sea-facing bungalows were better. Also the resort faces a mangrove swamp so it’s not a white open sandy-beach-situation . In other words if you’re not diving you wouldn’t feel inspired to chill on the beach as it feels slightly closed-in.

    Loved the staff, food, puppies, snorkelling at the stunning house reef. Clean sheets, comfortable bed. Nice warm shower with good water pressure (gentle saline water that didn’t sting eyes). Staff really supports and helps you where it matters. Also very friendly and clear in communication. I didn’t dive but went on dive boat with a group of others. It was a great experience to snorkel while they dived. if you want a more private experience, and are not diving, good to rent your own small boat with a fisherman,to snorkel or watch dolphins.

    Some noise from the road and party music from village (pretty standard everywhere in northern Sulawesi though).

    Amazing staff that helped with everything and solved all problems. Diving staff was absolutely professional and fun to be around. The setting of the resort is nice and the snorkelling from the beach couldn’t be much better. The food was really tasty and for us there was always a vegetarian option available.

    A diving resort that is very well run in terms of lodging, dining as well as diving. The cabin was as described/depicted in photos, frequently cleaned and sheets changed when asked. The food is amazing and varied, while vegetarian and pescatarian options are suitably offered. The whole team try their best, are easy going and speak English. As for the diving, it is a blessed place, even if you only snorkel around the resort you will have the opportunity to see turtles and milliards of fish and creatures. It makes up for an excellent holiday. I would definitely visit again! Thank you guys for the comfortable stay

    • Very expensive - even in comparision to other Indonesian dive resorts with a comparable approach (my by far most expensive stay in Indonesia) • Room Facilities & Services were a bit poor given the the high accomodation price, e.g. - No WIFI in the room, only available close to the restaurant area (I understand their approach keeping people together in the "social" areas. However, there is sometimes private or confidential online correspondence required, which should not be heard/seen from all folks around. I, for example, postponed a job application interview to another time and location, as I did'nt want all people listening to my interview) - No hot water in the shower, - No room ceaning during the whole stay - No hair dryer etc.... • As said (see above) diving was really depending on the dive master. Next to the great experience with Jo (see likes) I had another experience which was the complete opposite: On day 1 I had a divemaster who showed no to me recognizable interest in the diver and its experience level (not asking questions how many dives I had or if I was facing challenges in the past - which was everywhere else I was diving so far, absolutely standard), during the dive he was consistently touching corals & other marine life, after the dive he left the ocean immediately when the boat arrived putting himself into the sun - while I was still in the water, trying to release my weight belt and fins, there was no communication afterwards about the seen marine life, he just moved away without saying any word. One of my most "special" experiences so far! Thank god the gave me on day 2 another instructor!

    • Location: directly on the Mangrove covered beach (nice shadow supplied by the lush foliage), Reef for amazing snorkeling directly in front of the resort • Beautiful resort area (settled in a lush tropical garden, nice social areas like restaurant etc.) • My bungalow was pretty and spacious • The kitchen lady was really nice and helpful, trying to meet all dietary requirements (e.g. I have a seafood allergy and they cooked me on a "seafood-day" an individual dinner with chicken) • The food tastes very good - however after a few days it is a bit monotonous • The diving was heavily depending on the dive guide: I was diving on 2 days. On day 2 I had a really great dive master (Jo) who dealt pretty well with challenging circumstances (e.g. heavy current and due to different experience levels of the divers in the group there was different dealing with the situation -> Jo stayed calm & friendly and managed to hold the group together (which was quiet challenging!) and even in this situation he showed us interesting marine life • The hotel manager Connor was great: He was taking care of really EVERY thing. Respect!
