Cakalang Resort

Cakalang a small hide away. A very friendly atmosphere, clean rooms with fresh water. Good food and our own dive center. Dive courses can be done in PADI and Naui

Amazing place with the best atmosphere!

Reviewed By BrentIndo

Me and my wife started with the plan to stay only a couple of nights but eventually stayed for a whole week. We loved staying at Cakalang. Very friendly owner and staff. Delicious 3 times a day meals and very relaxed atmosphere. We spend every of our mornings snorkeling (right in front of the resort wonderful snorkeling place with 500m stretch of coral reefs), mid-days "siesta" at the pool and in the afternoon strolling trough the small village for a volcano sunset. We love to come back for some diving and de-stress at Cakalang.

Sunset Guest House & Bar

Under development

Reviewed By GlasgowTraveller10

This is an excellent place to stay for diving or snorkelling and you are content to live in basic accommodation ie barrel of water for shower and no sink The couple who own this are exceptionally hospitable and the cooking is excellent but we found the noise in the village in the evening too loud , the lack of air conditioning difficult and there was limited places to go during the day. We’ve rated it 4 as this was our fault for not researching the island more and not theirs We paid booking.com for 3 nights but left after the first night The owner is undertaking an extension which will result in more accommodation and showers

Sendowan Baru Amurang

Sendowan Baru is a small guethouse, situated on the coast of Amurang Sendowan Baru can be your starting point for making many day trips or just the place to unwind in the beautiful garden with pool. A unique place for a pleasant and varied stay. We rent simple rooms with breakfast. You can also take a seat at lunch or supper in the atmospheric, dayroom. The reception and care of our guests is in the hands of Alfrett Tiameledau and Lidya Tambayong, administrators and permanent residents of the house. Sendowan Baru is a project of the brothers Paul and Frank Persijn, and their partners Lisette Schoonbrood and Lut Vanhellemont.

A great base in North Sulawesi

Reviewed By rustyseadog

Sendowan Baru was a perfect home base for my bicycle tour of North Sulawesi. Everyone at Sendowan Baru was particularly helpful with advice and practical assistance. I felt much a part of the Sendowan Baru 'family' and enjoyed meeting fellow travellers and locals. Facilities are clean and efficient and the common area is a great space to pass time and socialise with other guests. Good value rooms and fantastic home cooking. Lots of local warungs also close by.

Big Fish Hotel

One night stay

Reviewed By Martin M

The room was ok. We did not have an ocean view room which made it less special i guess. The breakfast wasnt great. Just bread, noodles, rice and some unknown tomato stew thingy. Didnt say what it was. Really nice view from our breakfast table though!

MS Hotel

Not bad at all

Reviewed By BayuVita

Hotel terbaru di Pinrang (kali ini) Dekat perkantoran di wilayah Pinrang, jalan kaki saja kalau mau k dinas perikanan. Meski belum ada lift nya, air panasnya juga seringan ngambek nya, tapi progres dari saat terakhir saya datang, ini sudah bagus sekali.

Araya Dive Resort Togean

Unique stay in new high quality tree and jungle houses. An indonesian-european run boutique dive resort in the Togean Islands near Bomba village, Central Sulawesi. Bomba is the hidden gem of the Togean islands as it has remained unspoilt from tourism. Very easy to reach when arriving from Ampana. The daily public speed boats Hercules and Manakara bring you directly to Araya's jetty in just 40 minutes. The spacious treehouses and jungle villas have a crazy view over the Tomini Bay. They are built far away from each others providing a lot of privacy. Enjoy the sunset from your own big terrace or hang out in the dive lodge with other guests. Diving around Bomba is just pristine! Great variety of dive spots in 2 atoll reefs, the Togean barrier reef and fringing reefs. Taupan Island offers world class wall diving. WELCOME!

Relaxing, adventurous, gezellig and everything in between!

Originally, we had planned to only stay for a couple of days and continue island hopping. In reality, we got so hooked on Pia and Elly’s charm (?), and Iin’s cooking, that we extended our stay to a whole week. What can I say more? There are so many things to do in this cute, cosy (gezellig) dive resort. We dived, kayak, SUP, snorkel, visited Badjo village, saw massive birds, picnicked on this beautiful island (where Elly wined and dined us- well, not literally wined, but you get it), bouldered and we were also simply relaxing (I managed to get through 3 books in a span of a week- hard for that to happen in this day and age). I can not recommend this place enough to anyone who just wants to unplug and feel in the nature. Pia and Elly and Ahmad and Iin and Didi were just amazing people who really want all of their guests to enjoy their stay and it really shines through. NOW NOW GO VISIT THEM!

Bastianos Bangka is situated on Busabora Beach on the south-western part of Bangka Island. Enjoy a sundowner Drink on the Incredible white sandy Beach or on the freshwater infinity pool. The house reef is one of Bangka’s best dive sites. Dive any time a day, jump from our own jetty in to the underwater paradise.

Rested well !

Reviewed By 476katef

I spent 10 days quarantining in this beautiful resort. The resort manager Mina is great, always quickly responds to any guest requests and even was able to find me coconut oil in Manado. However, my biggest concern is amount of plastic pollution on the beach. It comes with the sea current straight to resort shore line. It needs a major clean up! Few suggestions : -ear plugs! Jungle noise sometimes is disruptive. -Mosquito spay. -Chocolate and tasty healthy snacks. -Books to read! Internet works only at the restaurant and Only on one device at a time. So for example, connecting cell phone and laptop the same time is not possible. While standard rooms are the most affordable, the biggest minus were paper thin walls! I Could hear my neighbor breath. The best choice is the separate bungalow. Number 10, 12, 14 are the closest to the router and it might have wifi. Beach front units are ok, since the beach is so filled with plastic, and trees leaves. Overall I enjoyed my stay, especially the full service part ( airport pick up& drop off, snacks, scheduling pcr tests, the staff being very accommodating to guests needs).
