Beach Hotels in Serai

The location was great, but the beach was cleaned only in front of the house, along the rest of the beach there were logs and garbage Breakfast was ugly, it was necessary to order breakfast in the evening and the choice was scanty.

We loved our stay at Kuda Laut on Siladen Island. The location for snorkeling is top-notch, as you can swim right off of the beach into water with beautiful thriving coral gardens. We saw more species of coral and fish than we have anywhere else, as 97% of Bunaken Marine Park is underwater. The resort is into sustainability and gives you a free cup of coffee if you collect a bag of plastic. We enjoyed playing pool at the outdoor pool table, as well as long walks around the island. When it is low tide, one can walk all the way around the entire island. A short walk to a nearby pier provides you with a gorgeous sunset every evening. We would absolutely love to come back to Kuda Laut one day.

Sun moon was a fabulous location not far from Bitung and right on the beach. The accommodation and communal spaces were of exceptional standard as was every meal. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming also great to spend time chatting with. Can’t recommend sunmoon enough and look forward to returning one day.,

Honestly, what is there not to like. Food, amazing. Staff, amazing. Diving, amazing. Location, amazing. I got a recommendation from a friend on Bunaken, and they way she spoke about this place made my decision to go have a look. Nothing beats word of mouth, and she ain’t lying. What a wonderful part of the world. I initially was only supposed to stay 3 nights? But I extended my stay another week. I was so happy in this secluded environment, in my little bungalow which was more than I could have asked for. I slept so well, with the windows open to all the nature and my heart happy in the little cocoon of my mosquito net. They even provide mosquito coils outside your bungalow for double protection. These little touches, like water in your room and having help carrying my insanely heavy bags to my room felt like I was a VIP. I’m old, I’m tired of carrying my diving stuff everywhere. But with a boat drop right to the doorstep and a pickup service of finding me somewhere over in the Bunaken area to them was seamless. Thank you Kate. I know people are stressful but communicating with you was a breeze. They have Wi-Fi. And because I work and travel that was an added bonus seeing I was basically touch and go on Bunaken. James is an excellent host and dive leader, his enthusiasm for everything, land, sea and everything in between, including our time in the village, putting up with me, running the place and making sure that everyone is happy (must be exhausting) makes you realise why they both decide to call Nomad there home. I will send cheeseburgers. Thank you both so much. It was honestly the highlight of my trip around Sulawesi and something that I will not forget so soon. I honestly think it’s the best kept secret (so I wouldn’t want to share but I’m telling everyone) and I was lucky enough to have the boat to myself some days, but also when the other guests were there it was our little family. I wish you guys the best! X

We stayed in a bungalow. It was perfect and beautifully appointed with lots of outlets, hooks, and flat surfaces for your things. Also, great air conditioning. Water dispenser in room with hot and cold (tea/coffee too). Our bathroom was beautiful with one open air shower and one covered. Everything was really clean. Restaurant was fantastic. Loren the chef is amazing. House reef is terrific. Snorkelling/dive staff were accommodating and professional. Boats were clean and new. Beach is beautiful to walk. Grounds were lush and well kept. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Well run operation. Great all around. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience. Impeccable organization. Food amazing, everyone friendly, beautiful beach and great diving. Atmosphere great. Clean. It’s a little pricey for Indonesia but well worth it.

All amenities and services are excellent. The food is always above expectations. The most exceptional aspect of the resort is the staff. The standard is set by the managers, Anna and Miguel who make sure that each guest feels welcome. All the staff know the names of the guests and are happy to greet you by name. The scuba diving operation is superb. Dive guides are expert in finding and identifying marine life. Your guide stays with you for your entire diving schedule. The spa is also great and quite reasonably priced.
