Offering a year-round outdoor pool and a private beach area, Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort is set in Siladen Island in the Bunaken Islands, North Sulawesi Region. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort features free WiFi throughout the property. 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.

Providing snorkeling, fun diving and PADI diving courses, the resort also has private garden, sunchairs, direct access to the sea and the beach, stunning coral reef just in front, a sea view restaurant and a tour desk. All meals were tasty & plentiful. Excellent dive & snorkeling location. Our room was very comfortable. I had broken my foot & they made every effort to ensure I could snorkel constantly. Kudos to the staff & our boat captain France.

Situated in Bunaken, 13 km from Manado Harbor, Lekker Gezellig Dive Resort Manado features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. With a restaurant, the 2-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Guests can make use of a bar. We had a really wonderful stay and a great time at Lekker Gezellig. It is only 10 minutes boat ride to Bunaken. The cottage is clean and comfortable. Any issues were taken care of immediately. We love the quietness of the place with birds singing and animal sounds around. The staff and dive crews are super friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed the days we spent on the boat diving and snorkelling. The food was delicious and the cook can cater to our wishes and the children's preference. We also had a really nice chat with Changli, the owner, who is super attentive and accommodating. At the end of our stay we went on small boats to see the Tarsius family living in the mangrove. Thank you to all the staff for the hospitality. We hope to return again one day :)

Located in Tomohon, 33 km from Manado Harbor, Wawowow provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The property is non-smoking and is situated 12 km from Mount Lokon.

The resort offers an à la carte or Asian breakfast. Wawowow is a very special place. But it’s not for everyone. If you want to be away from city sounds and pollution, way out in the peace of the countryside among farms and mountain views — and if you are a person who enjoys the ruggedness of tent or A-frame cabin camping, then you will love Wawowow. Alvin has built this off-the-grid retreat himself, adding to it each year. He and his staff are caring and helpful. The well laid out grounds are covered in lawns and most if not all tents and cabins have small brick firepits. Alvin can provide the firewood for them. When I was there a number of people sat around these campfires at night singing and playing guitars. No sound amplification is allowed. Some people chose to stay on the grounds for several days. I used it as a jumping off place each morning to tour different parts of the Tomohon area each day., returning each evening.

K2 Lembeh Dive Resort features a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Bitung. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The air-conditioned rooms provide a mountain view and come with a desk and free WiFi. We had an excellent 7 night stay at K2 Lembeh. The owner and the staff are outstanding. Sharon, the owner, communicated in a timely manner, answering all questions before we arrived, and then helping with arrangements during our stay via WhatsApp. Irra, who is in charge of the house and restaurant staff, was efficient and conscientious and very kind. She took care of all the details and even arranged for me to accompany her on a shopping trip to a huge market in Bitung on a day I was not able to dive. It is one of my trip highlights. Man, who is in charge of overall operations, and the dive experience, could not have been any more helpful. From arranging the details of our transportation, to taking me, after hours, into Bitung to see a doctor for an ear infection (he made the appointment, guided me to it, and stayed with me to help me figure out what was needed), to directing our dives, he always went above and beyond. You can tell that he takes pride in the operation and is very conscientious about making each guest’s stay a good experience. Fiki, our dive guide, was one of the best I have had. He was excellent at finding all those cool Lembeh Strait critters, and I also always felt very safe diving with him as he was always aware of us in the water, and was encouraging and thoughtful to me, a still slightly uncomfortable diver. The food was delicious—lots of local dishes, lots of vegetables and fresh fish. It is served as a buffet in an open area with a stunning view down the hill and to the Strait. There are a lot of steep stairs up to the dining area, but we did not mind them. The guests shared a table for meals which I really liked, as we met so many interesting travelers. The cabins are spacious, with a deck and a fine view, AC that works well, and your own carboy of water, with both hot and cold-water options.
