Friwen Mangrove Eco Lodge

Everything was incredible! The cabins on the water are just fantastic! You can go snorkelling directly from you room! Also there is electricity and wifi 24hrs which is rare in Raja Ampat! Rashid and everyone are exceptional people who really did everything to make my stay unforgettable!!

Nothing!! Just having to leave!!

Look no further.. if you are looking for a place to stay in Raja Ampat this is it.. most amazing snorkelling just a jump from the bungalow. Activities organised to the perfection. Attentive staff, lovely meals. It's a real paradise. Bonus is the private bathroom! Rachid will welcome you in the best way and makes you feel at home. Favourite place.

As many other said.. worse part was that we had to leave

Rachid ed Eka sono host meravigliosi, Rachid ci ha fatto fare escursioni stupende e lui è stato una guida perfetta. Si vede che che ama il suo lavoro e fa di tutto per far star bene i suoi ospiti che, dopo una settimana, diventano suoi amici. Grazie per tutto quello che hai fatto per noi

It was an exceptional experience, living in a peaceful oasis surrounded by unspoiled nature. Rachid, the lodge owner, is a fantastic person, attentive to all his guests' needs. He organizes and guides beautiful excursions to visit magical Raja Ampat. The food is delicious, all prepared by them; we all eat together as a small community, allowing us to get to know each other and plan excursions for the next day. A little dream

Very special place in the most beautiful location. Basic huts but perfect for Raja Ampat and being with nature. Food was excellent and the staff were all lovely. We had a special couple of days here. What an idylic spot! You can literally snorklel straight outside your room with amazing marine life.

Nothing really.....It doesnt have air conditioning but you can leave all the doors open and let the air through which was fine. Might be harder when its really hot season...but was fine for July time.

Rachid et Eka sont des hôtes exceptionnels, on percoit leur envie de rendre cette expérience inoubliable pour chaque visiteur. L'emplacement est top (juste en face du Friwen wall), la cuisine super bonne, les excursions avec Rachid un plaisir de decouvrir des endroits uniques.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la vue, le calme, le confort et la qualité des repas. Nous avons adoré pouvoir faire du snorkeling depuis le bungalow et même à marée basse. Les fonds marins sont sublimes notamment le Friwen wall juste en face où d'innombrables espèces de coraux et de poissons nous ont émerveillés, sans oublier les tortues. L'excursion pour l'observation des raies Manta fut un grand moment de notre séjour à Raja Ampat et nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'engagement et la générosité de Rachid. Bel accueil des habitants du village juste derrière le bungalow et très belles balades dans la forêt tropicale. Le ménage durant les 6 jours et le service pourraient être plus professionnels par rapport au prix du bungalow et en comparaison avec les autres hébergements où nous avons séjournés.

Stunning location, beautiful outlook, great staff, made to feel very welcome.

Having to leave.

It was one of the best experiences of our life. The bungalows are huge and in perfect condition with fan, mosquito net and even a sofa! Coffee and tea are never lacking. They have a real private bathroom with standard toilet and shower like a real premium lodge. Super clean, 24 hours of energy and great wifi are a big plus for Raja Ampat. The owner and all the staff were available every time to support your requests and they are very kind. The bungalows were in a briefless location with the Friwen wall in front. Even in case of low tide it is possible to snorkel and look for dugongs, sharks, turtles and many other spices. Breakfast is served on the balcony while lunch and dinner in the common area with all the guests and the awesome owner Rachid. The food was outstanding, each time different but always delicious from the appetizer to the main dish and the final desserts. We enjoyed sharing stories and nice tips on Raja Ampat with everyone's. Sometimes, after dinner, they organize a small party and karaoke with all the guests and staff, we really enjoyed these happy moments. Super super satisfied. We really hope to come back someday and hope Rachid will continue his dream of creating a diving school and adding more bungalows.
