Unforgettable family vacation
Reviewed By Satrio WMy wife, my 15-month-old daughter, and I had a great time vacationing at Meridian Adventure Dive Resort. The staff members were helpful prior, during, and after our stay at the resort. Leona and Joane checked in regularly with us using emails, while other staff members often communicated with us via WhatsApp, and they all were able to accommodate our needs. At the resort, their hospitality made our stay memorable. My personal goal was to make myself comfortable again when scuba diving, especially after such a long break from diving. At the same time, I wanted to introduce the beauty of Raja Ampat’s islands and beaches to my wife and my daughter. With the help of Meridian Adventure, we were able to meet those goals. I was impressed by the state-of-the-art scuba diving equipment provided by Meridian. However, it was the assistance of the divemasters/leaders that really made the difference. They were patient in helping me get back into shape while ensuring that I enjoyed the underwater beauty that Raja Ampat has to offer. A couple of the dives were a bit challenging due to the strong current, but I felt safe diving under their watch. They kindly dropped off my family at secluded beaches and at the village to wait there while I did the dives with them. My wife and my daughter had some awesome beach moments, not to mention nice interactions with the locals. A big shout-out to the dive leaders (Duan, Abner, Simson, and Adam) as well as the boat drivers (Adnan, Arnol, and Yohan) for their help! Back in the hotel, Boyke and his colleagues ensured that we had great stays while we were not out and about. The staff members were so nice to my daughter, who played happily with them and the (many) friendly resident cats! They also helped arrange our trips to Kalibiru and to town, including to get PCR tests at the local hospital. The resort itself is not that big, but its size is perfect for my little family to roam around. The common area, with a ping pong table, a billiard table, and a dart board, is a perfect place to hang out. The boardwalk, surrounded by tall mangroves, is also quite impressive. The resort’s location is also very strategic. We only had to walk for about 10 minutes from the port to the hotel when we came in. We’d also like to thank the restaurant staff, especially Yunita and her colleagues, who ensured that we’re well-fed at the resort. We certainly enjoyed the food, both the western and local menus that the resort provided. I asked their help to throw a surprise birthday celebration for my wife, and my request was well executed. Their hospitality is one of the highlights of our stay. All in all, we had an unforgettable family vacation thanks to Meridian Adventure Dive Resort!
2. Raja Ampat Dive Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
Raja Ampat Dive Lodge (RADL) is located on the island of Mansuar in the Dampier Strait off South of Waigeo and North of Batanta. It is strategically positioned in the heart of the most spectacular dive sites of Northern Raja Ampat. A short boat ride takes you to the famous manta aggregation site of Manta Ridge and the fish tornadoes off Cape Kri. RADL is built along the fine white sands of Yenpapir Beach and backs into a pristine tropical rainforest. The resort stretches across the cove with the nearest village a 20 minute walk away. Small mangrove clusters provide shelter for many juveniles and the reef in front of the resort is a heaven for snorkelers. The beach fronting the resort is extremely child friendly with a gently sloping beach and crystal clear waters that calmly caresses the shore. Comfortably designed with ecological awareness coupled with Balinese artistry, RADL offer divers and holiday makers a practical, comfortable and affordable diving and snorkeling environment
Paradise :)
Reviewed By 901maiagThis is paradise! Is a fantastic resort, in the middle of nature with an amazing sea view from the room and sunset! We took the snorking package of 1 week and our guide and the crew was friendly and always willing to help on our needs ( allowed us to stay more in our favorites places) At the resort the chef cooked for us special meals ( no spicy and more into western) and all the staff were willing to help us. The rooms have ac and hot water. Everything worked perfect! Thank you pak Henry and all the staff for the amazing week we had!

Simplicity at its finest
Reviewed By NatanyomanWe traveled with another family to PapuArts and thoroughly enjoyed this small getaway. Timon and Helga, the owners, go out of their way to make everyone feel at home. It's a friendly, family atmosphere and one of the best aspects is the dining area complete with sandy floor, it's a great place where guests hang out and get to know one another. Some of the rooms are directly over the water which is great if you want to be amongst nature.

The most racist hotel for common people
Reviewed By Joni CI trust the review about this hotel..but when i stayed..the hotel full with government official ..wife of the minister tito. So what happened? I can only eat dinner and breakfast at the room. Thats fine..but the food they serve me is staff food. Only chicken and tempe..while on the buffet the official and her team eat all nice seafood..thats settle for dinner. Even coffee time..they dont serve anything..but the vip guests bring their own snacks. Thats not the end.. As i went trekking early am and back quiet late..i just found out that they serve my wife only leftover noodles and bread. The waiter didnt even notice our breakfast hasnt been delivered. The kitchen just said all gone already. If not for our tourguide argue and request..not even noodle gonna be serve.. So i had late breakfast adn ask them to cook the noodle which i brought..instead of giving extra service for that mistreatment..they even charge 20.000 rupiah for the eggs.. unbeliveable..management policy. This is a great hotel..but honestly..i wont be back..i dont aceept this kind of treatment. Even if vipguests came..their treatment really unacceptable. Strangely as my tour guide reserved and then cancel one night..they still charged her 2 nights stay. Management policy... If u come without vip maybe u wont being annoy by this mistreatment..but if paid 2 nights for one night stay and only eat chicken money and noodle for breakfsat....no matter how good is the room adn the view..this is the shittest hotel management ever. I will never stay here anymore.
5. Waisai Beach Hotel

Worked well for us PLUS LOCATION IN TOWN!
Reviewed By RCJOWaisai is a nice town. The residents are not jaded by tourists (yet) as they see them with less frequency than other locations in Indonesia. Simply stated, they are wonderful. All the children say hello and approach often to ask your name and where you are from. Being there in the beginning of December allowed us to see the Christmas parade and train that takes children around town. Magical in so many ways as you can't help but smile when a parade such as this has Mickey Mouse and the much beloved Hello Kitty. And the train is totally lit up with lights and smiles. Beautiful. Most everyone that shows up in Waisai heads out to a resort. Many of the remainder head to home stays in nearby islands or away from town. These can be nice but we don't do well with being so contained. We did a live aboard here in Raja Ampat and then dove with Olin Dive Center in town for another week. The hotel is very situated in town as it is a short walk to the beach, is very close to the wonderful daily market, close to grocery stores and near to the dive shop. We came to stay for 4 days but stayed the week. Rooms are clean and air-conditioned. They are large, have television and provide a breakfast (included in price). Out back there are clothes lines for use. Not much English is spoken but translation apps made life easy. Staff are very nice! At a moments notice the staff set us up with the town's tourist representative (Husna) to help us out with a great deal including getting to Wayag and also seeing the Red, as well as Wilson's, bird of paradise. The hotel was less expensive than the hostel where another diver stayed. We are unsure if we will return for a third visit to Raja but if we do, we will definitely stay at this hotel again as the the place is nice and the town it is in is wonderful.

Niet meer wat het hoort te zijn
Reviewed By J3350LEadrianaHelaas een hele grote teleurstelling. Niet meer wat het hoorde te zijn. Alles van de foto’s op de site is aanwezig maar word geen gebruik meer van gemaakt. Allemaal locals ingetrokken. We hebben hier 1 nacht geslapen en zijn de volgende de dag gauw vertrokken! Dit terwijl we voor een week hadden geboekt. Geen Engels sprekenden mensen aanwezig. Geen activiteiten te doen. Erg vies.
8. Hamueco Dive Resort Raja Ampat
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 46 reviews
Hamueco received their first guest at December 2012. Build near a local family from Raja Ampat, we offers people experience to interact with local people but also having comfortable room with basic amenities. We're still trying to have it eco friendly environment by limiting electricity (since we are using generator set for electricity) and water use. Our price included with 3 times meal. Our location is 45 minutes from Waisai Raja Ampat.
Peaceful resort, amazing diving
Reviewed By olga lWe planned the trip to Raja Ampat for a year. We were only 4 guests at the place, because our trip happened when CODIV 19 took a head start. Lots of guest cancelled, plus March is the end of the season anyway. The hotel manager Nando was very helpful, answered all the questions and took care of all of our needs from buying sim card, so we can communicate with families back home to organizing diving trips, to booking ferry tickets on the way back. It is rustic, but very clean. Simple and fresh food, it was more variety, then I expected. The water pressure was good, so you can clean your diving equipment well. I loved sitting on the terrace of your cottage and watch fish swimming by. Amazing reef just at the end of the jetty. You can snorkel right from there. In my opinion cottages on the jetty are better choice to stay, then houses in the back of the property. As recommendation, I would clean the beach around the resort, you see plastic and other human foot print and it would take maybe 2-3 hours to properly clean it. If you on the jetty, you dont see it, but at the back of the resort it makes a bad impression. We enjoyed trip to the Blue river a lot. Fan island are overrated in my opinion. Its expensive , long and when you get there, you just go up top and look at them, take picture, put it on Insta. The favorite dive sites were Blue Magic and Chicken reef. Overall amazing nature, best diving, friendly and kind people. I would go back in a heart beat.

Amazing experience on a private island
Reviewed By enindoTabari is the only hotel/Eco lodge on this small paradise island: white sand beaches, coconut palms, healthy and varied corals... We spent almost a week there, a Robinson adventure with all the extra comforts: enjoyed a large brand new bungalow,l with is own bathroom, excellent and very varied meals, cocktails with a breathtaking sunset view??... By far the best value for money we have found in Raja Ampat. The snorkeling right in front of the bungalows is exceptional ??????: sharks, turtles, fish galore, humpback parrots... Jeff and his team made us discover the many dive sites around the island and in the rest of the archipelago (Pyianemo...): Mantas, barracudas, napoleons, trevallies, nudibranchs... We will keep the memory of this wonderful welcome for a long time.
