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. Everything! The staff, the peacefulness, the bungalow, the food, the diving! Everything was made with profession and always put us in the first place. Diving was secure and Jimmy made our experience awesome in Bunaken with a lot of turtles and rays. Grace made everything from food, our comfort in the bungalow and evening chat to an unforgettable stay! The boat crew were amazing! Took us out for an extra tour to see dolphins but unfortunately they were not to be seen. Thank you all; Grace, Jimmy, Ebing, Iwan, Robi, Miguel and Memi for an incredible stay and thanks to the owner Changli for having such a good communication before we checked in. We will never forget you!

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.

Panorama Cottage has a garden, private beach area, a terrace and restaurant in Bunaken. Staff on site can arrange airport transfers.

Guests at the resort will be able to enjoy activities in and around Bunaken, like hiking. This was one of my favorite stays in Indonesia. The view from the room was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the food was the best on my trip. The vibe of Bunaken is very relaxed and the snorkeling is amazing right in front of the Panorama Cottages. If you stay at Panorama Cottages you will eat with the guests from Panorama Backpackers, and there is a lot of great company. I tried snorkeling directly in front of the property and also joined a tour. Both are worth it. The fish and turtles on the reef are incredible, and the prices are excellent for the tours and equipment rental. I also appreciated the quality of the rental equipment because you never know what you will get when you rent.

Located in Manado, 16 km from Manado Harbor, Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort and Spa features an outdoor pool and spa centre. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

The area is popular for snorkelling and diving and the staff can arrange them with additional charges. Sam Ratulangi International Airport is 20 km from Bunaken Oasis Dive Resort and Spa, while Manado Mega Mall is 17 km from the property. The nearest airport is Sam Ratulangi Airport, 20 km from the property. Had a few mishaps with flights and did not think we would actually make it to Bunaken. From the moment you arrive you are in paradise. The staff are what make this resort 5 stars. We have stayed at many luxury resorts and dive resorts around the world and Bunaken Oasis is our top 3. Service, staff, food, diving, room, the pool was all amazing. We stayed 3 nights and wish we stayed longer. Room has a Nespresso machine, water filter in room, beds are huge and comfy! We opted for full board which is a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner. So much food and the food is actually good, big portions and you can order whatever and have as much as your stomach allows. Dive boats, dive guide and dive gear are top notch. We saw heaps of turtles and highly recommend Buanken for diving. Little extras like watching the sunset in the pool and staff bringing out beverages without us even having to ask. Such a romantic and magical resort and highly recommend. The surprise at the end of your stay is so special and very thankful to have stayed at this resort.
