The Village Bunaken

A gem of a hotel. Comfortable rooms. Great food. Foo was very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more. My wife had a dive with Yorry who was very professional. The diving was spectacular. I snorkelled and it was the best snorkelling I’ve had in Indonesia. So many turtles. We’re planning our return.

Nothing.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great meals, even (especially) for a vegetarian. Wonderful house reef for snorkeling.

Vivi & her staff are pretty helpful. Convenient for diving and massage arrangements. Meals are good. Cozy atmosphere.

Bed mattress is simple… not good shower (missing sufficient hot water)

Everything was great. Nice, cozy place. Vivi was super helpful. Wonderful diving.

Great staff, beautiful ambience. Well organized diving trips and other day trips.

No cold drinking water available for free, so needed to buy soda water every time, which was a bit pricey compared to other restaurants in the area. Having a cold drink is a must for us as it is very hot all the time when you are not in the water, also in the room since there is no AC.

The relaxing village vibe was really great as we bonded over snorkeling/diving activities and meals with other guests. Food was great too as they catered to our halal needs. Vivi our host was great at coordinating our activities and the entire crew gave top notch services and became our second family throughout our entire stay. Did the discover dive and Dylan, the instructor, was patient and gave good instructions. Made me feel safe as a first time diver.

The room can be quite warm at times but we got used to it. We left the door open when we are in the room and that made it cooler. We felt safe leaving the door open in this resort completing the "Village" experience.

Outstanding in every way. We didn't expect to scuba but we were really lucky to be able to do our first dives here and felt safe and very well instructed and cared for. Snorkeling off the beach to the house reef was amazing and there was so much more to see that we didn't have time for. The rooms and tranquil, natural setting were fantastic. Staff were all friendly, cheerful and helpful.

You can't improve on perfection

Staff and owners were lovely. Helped us organise easy travel to and from. Diving is world class, very well organised, easy going, instructors are great and safety conscious. Food was delicious. Lovely location, close to the village and lovely area to swim. Snorkelling directly out the front is amazing. Would definitely come back. Thanks especially to David and Vivi for making our stay so memorable.

The atmosphere was really relaxed. From travel mode,we could really switch towards relaxing. The staff (Fi, the singing lady's and helpers on the boat) are really nice and helpful with a lot of humor. Just for Fi we would come back😉 The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Everyone worked hard to keep the hole area clean. The food was really good, and they tried to make every mail different 👏 Then the diving, one of our reasons to be there. The owners Fu and David run the dive school with great passion. David was also our dive instructor. He is super relaxed,but doesn't miss anything what we did wrong 🫣or good😅 We couldn't wish for a better instructor ( Thanks). Bunaken is a wonderful place for snorkling or diving
