Beach Hotels in Yennanas Besir

So comfortable, food delicious, well thought détails , accommodating your needs when you ask for something. Lovely staff! I loved my stay there (7 nights) and will certainly come back !!

This place was such a hidden gem. The family running this place is so lovely and caring (thank you Arnes, Lena, & Anna). They were so sweet & even took our laundry inside when it was raining / tidied our bed one day. They also came out and helped look for our sandal that fell into the water at night (miraculously recovered in the morning). For a simple Papuan housing structure, it was decorated beautifully with seashell curtains on the patio as well as shells lining the entire dock. There was a sand path to the toilet / dining area which was raked clean everyday. The food was incredible and they were able to cater to my vegetarian diet while still providing excellent fish-centered meals for my partner. Massive portions. A little spicy for me but doable …but I also do not have much tolerance for spice. Going in, I was concerned about the toilet and “dip Mandi” shower but they ended up having a real shower head & European style toilet. The location is very lovely - we were alone in a bay that was clean, had beautiful turquoise water, and a lovely reef. We were also within 3 km of Tarzan Diving so they were able to pick us up in the mornings for dives. The host does not speak English but we were able to translate with google & their daughter, Anna.

I booked 8 days here. I went diving for three days on the Pulau Gam and snorkeled daily on Friwen. They are about a 10 mins boat ride. The Homestay is rustic. There are two beds covered with mosquito net. They are totally fine but somehow one would get in every night. It’s an island at the equator, there are mosquitoes. Also geckos! That’s part of the adventure. The room has an interior slide lock and there’s a clipping lock with a key for locking when you’re away. Honestly I never locked my place. The island seems very safe. Kids playing, most of the folks on the island are involved in tourism, though they don’t speak much English. It wasn’t an issue. I traveled solo and spent most afternoons in the hammock, reading, writing or napping. The food was amazing, delicious, the cook is very sweet and calls you to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fresh fish is caught daily. Vegetables and rice, very delicious and all included. Large quantities. Box lunches are available if you are diving all day. Bananas are snacks. Unlimited instant coffee, tea, hot water. The island is stunning. Sunsets amazing. The reef has more life to see while snorkeling than most places (Europe, Caribbean, US, Latin America) have to see while scuba diving! I saw turtles, squid, dolphins playing, reef sharks and millions of coral. A not about cash and other fees: you will need ~140,000 to take a ferry from Sorong to Waisai. Then you’ll need 600,000 to ride each way from Waisai to Friwen (this can be divided with others, provided there are other riders.). On Waisai, you’ll have to buy a Marine Park pass and an entry pass, in total 1,000,000. So you’ll need around 2,250,000 in cash (be prepared bc the pass can be purchased online, or card but sometimes their system is down and you have to pay cash). In Sorong airport there are four ATMs, most of them don’t work well. There are ATMs on Waisai but you have to ride a motorcycle to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lovely people, nice food. Location awesome. Good for the adventurous.

Love the terrace with a comfortable hammock and sufficient lighting for reading at night, and a fresh water source outside each bungalow to clean my dive gear and clothing—such great conveniences! This seems obvious but this combination was not available at two other places I stayed at, one of which was more expensive too. The room size is great, the bed is comfortable with a mosquito net, there is a fan and there are shelving and a lockable cupboard for valuables. Indoor attached bathroom (I love the stones in the design and a divider between shower and toilet) and hot shower at night are luxuries at this location and price point. Diving with Tarzan-Diving was great and their daily pickup and drop-off to and from dive shop on Gam was convenient and well priced. It was nice to have a bit more comfort while still being able to dive around Kri, and not having to stay at more basic accommodations in order to do so. The owner put a lot of thought and care in attending to details and was really super accommodating in helping with everything I needed, including providing me with a charging station when I brought an adaptor that didn’t work, and going fishing so we had fresh fish for our meals. I had a wonderful stay!
