Meos Ambower Homestay Raja Ampat

The over water bungalow are amazing. Little sharks swims under you. The reef is also very nice. Very convenient for visiting piaynemo, Rufus, mantas. Nick is a super host.

Nick runs a tight ship. They have an artwork in the dining room bungalow (which is over an exceptional reef with a resident moray, big barracuda and when we were there some dense schools of fish) that describes the various trips that they offer and the prices. Prices are for the boat and only become per person if it's for more than four people. Our stay ended up cheaper than expected! They also have a new boat for snorkel trips that fits 8-10 people under cover and gets you to locations faster and safer (dual outboard) Every time we looked for Manta we found them.

Meos Ambower is a fairytale place where your wooden bungalow sits over pristine coral reef and Thousands of fish swim out the front of your hut. The homestay is a fantastic authentic experience with beautiful snorkelling trips close by. I was amazed to see the moon rise over the sea and a sky filled with stars as well as bioluminescent creatures swimming by my front door.

The tropical heat at night is really hot and there is often no breeze. It was quite hard some nights to sleep - most huts are simple mattresses on the floor. One hut has a spring mattress on a bed base. This is best described as basic accommodation in a pristine and beautiful natural setting.

Incredible location, the water is very clear, we can see sharks under the bungalows everyday, trips are easy to organize and not too expensive. Very good manta point close to the homestay.

Most beautiful location i have ever seen!

Nick is a great guy and will give you a lot of information even before you travel there

We stayed at Meos Ambower for 5 nights, our only stay in Raja Ampat islands. The location: it’s far but great, although we encountered a little problem with the boat engine and it took us 1 extra hour to get there from Waisai. The bungalow: “Pieds dans l’eau” waterfront view . We were able to snorkel everyday and see the healthy marine life. Easy hike across the island to find a secluded beach, rocky but still nice for a swim. We suggested to Nick ( the owner) some ideas for his homestay- Like providing more informations to guests and improving the facilities by selling beers, soft drinks, renting snorkels, snacks etc…You can buy some snacks/water at the village across the bungalows. It would be good if they could sell those things/items at the ‘restaurant/eating area. We only found out on our last day that we could buy coconut not far from the bungalows. We had to change the bungalow once as there was a leak due to the heavy rainfall . Can also confirm the night visitors during but this didn’t really bother us after the second night . Part of the experience. We didn’t mind the bucket shower. Breakfast/lunch/dinner were good. We had freshly baked cakes , fish for lunch and dinner ( depending if Nick had a good day fishing , otherwise it’s eggs on the menu) not a big fan of the tofu. Tip: if you can share the day trip or transport back to Waisai with other guests do it . As the snorkeling trips can be expensive if you do more than one like we did. Can buy cold beers at some other resorts.

Owner can improve communication. We had to go look for Nick to get some informations when needed. Might need some improvements and adjustments with the facilities.

The place is amazing, you stay on a house over the water full of coral and underwater life. There ware two small baby sharks always under our house. It is a place like paradise. You can go swim or snorkel directly from the house. Good and comfy bed and correct food.

Very basic bathroom services, you need to walk a bit to get there. But the paradise there makes you forget about it. Food could be better on quantity and options.

A really incredible location, so beautiful. Nick was very nice and helpful, he arranged trips to Piaynemo and other snoreklling spots, all for a good price.
