Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort, hotel in Bunaken

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

This is my second stay at Kuda Laut; I spent 8 days last year and decided to return for more diving and underwater photography for 9 days. I enjoyed again both the hotel facilities and the Bunaken reef and wall dives. The dive boats are well equipped and the dive guides well trained and safety conscious. My special thanks to Luther, my guide in 14 dives, and to the very friendly personnel of the resort. The only negative thing is the many hours of flight from New. York. I hope to return again.

We booked for 6 nights and extended our stay for 9 nights as it was so good we just couldn't leave. Nona cooks the most delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, see the sunrise but get the afternoon shade. They can organise all your diving or snorkeling trips, rent motorbike to see more of the island etc.

Onong Resort, hotel in Bunaken

Located in the famed diving site of Bunaken, Onong Resort offers cozy and homey beachfront accommodations featuring free WiFi access throughout the property.

Absolutely picturesque location! Snorkeling was amazing! The dolphin tour was INCREDIBLE!! We loved "flying" with the dolphins our driver sped up as soon as they were right below us, at the front of the boat. To get them to play and keep up with us! We saw a spotted ray, a lion fish and multiple turtles while snorkeling after seeing the dolphins!

Cakalang Resort, hotel in Bunaken

Located on Bunaken Island along the Pangalisan Beach, Cakalang Resort offers diving and snorkeling opportunities on-site. It has a restaurant and a 24-hour front desk.

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!

    Island of Bunaken is very accessible on a short boat ride...

    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...

    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.

    Well trained diving personnel and generally, a well run very professional operation. Good diving equipment. The help I got with ticketing for my next destination. Excellent location for diving, and snorkeling. The reef up front. Pick up from hotel and drop off to airport worked well. To some extent I was the beneficiary of the recent reopening after Covid and the greater availability of personnel per customer. Still, I would come back to Kuda Laut and Siladen any time. My 8 days here were by far the best of my 23 days in Indonesia.

    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.

    Staff is very kind and help us with all our needs, specially Olivia. They arrange transport with boat and car for a fair price. Snorkeling organized with a Sven (neighbour diving place) was great and with really budget price. Three tasty meals are included. Free tea, coffee, water, fruits all day. You can buy other soft drinks and beer. The beach at the hostel has nice reef for snorkeling from the shore. You can also hike on the other side island and snorkel there. Fantastic ocean view at the sunset.

    Bunaken Cha Cha is the best choice for enjoying Bunaken National Marine Park. We enjoyed so much staying there, especially breakfast and dinner time with the hosts (Raf & Rei), they are nice guys, we chatted a lot. Room is cozy, sweet and spacious. Bed is comfy and clean. Full board meals are delicious, cooked by talented chef. We enjoyed the snorkeling with Cha Cha's guide (Mul), he brought us to good snorkeling's spots.

    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!

    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!

I love they decorated my bathroom with flowers and plante, and there were so many orchids opening during my great stay. Food was excellent! after long travel in Sulawesi, their food saved my stomach. nothing to complain about after visit the rest of the island.

    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.

    Very nice and helpful staff, good location right on the beach and in the centre of the village, yet still calm. The accomodation is part of the dive centre. This dive centre works very well and professionally. They adhere well to safety standards and the guides are kind and enthusiastic. Full board food is provided, it's simple and honest food, yet tasty.

    The best thing about this resort is the dive school and dive trips; great staff, amazing boat and guide for diving snorkeling! We would highly recommend Steve as a Guide! Secondly, the beach cottages are amazing. We got an upgrade to family bungalow on the beach, beautiful room and outside shower.

    They upgraded my stay to the best bungalow they had on the beach for free. Thanks. I really loved the beach. At Bunaken, you first have the coral reef, then the lagoon, then the mangrove, then the beach. So the nature setting is quite exceptional unless you don't like Mangrove of course.
