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.

Blue Shark Divers Bunaken, hotel in Bunaken

Situated in Bunaken, Blue Shark Divers Bunaken features air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. Guests staying at this homestay have access to a balcony.

Fantastic 5-night stay with Dion and his family, in almost-beachfront property within main Bunaken village. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned, with private bathroom and a small sitting area with chair(s) and clothes drying rack, just outside my room, all within access to wifi internet. The beach, which is 25m away, is kept quite clean and a great place to unwind after the dives or before dinner. Three delicious meals are served at set times each day, the menu including rice/noodle, vegetables, and a protein meat/fish dish ... every day slightly different. Great setup to meet the other guests and get to know Dion and his family. I organized 8 dives with Dion's affiliated Blue Shark Diving shop, and each outing was very special. And lastly, Dion himself was very helpful in organizing the next leg of my journey ... he helped book reliable, clean private cars, and tours for my next trajectory to the Togean Islands. In summary, a very memorable stay. Thank you!

Very attentive and interested in our welfare.

Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort, hotel in Bunaken

Offering a year-round outdoor pool and a private beach area, Kuda Laut Boutique Dive Resort is set in Siladen Island in the Bunaken Islands, North Sulawesi Region. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

They upgraded us to a sea view bungalow which was spacious and comfortable. The adjoining bathroom was open to the sky for the shower (the rest had a roof 🙂) It’s a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Indonesia-very quiet at this time of year (end of February) The staff were all very friendly and helpful

    Island of Bunaken is very accessible on a short boat ride...

    Island of Bunaken is very accessible on a short boat ride from Manado harbor. The island itself is very quiet, almost boring if you come looking for lively nightlife or bars & restaurants. The main attraction are the coral reefs, still relatively pristine with its marine life ecosystem ... let's hope that it can continue to stay that way.

    The island is very beautiful, a place from which to go diving and snorkling. There is everything for everyone. Unfortunately, the plastic is at home in a national park! Tourist activity has started to destroy the coral reef in some places. In a few years Bunaken park will be only in name. It is a recommended place for those who practice diving, less a place to relax.

    Dive operation Celebes Divers made me feel very welcome and couldn't do enough to assist my diving. At 78 years old and with a scuba career of nearly 50 years, Dive leader Ali and the other dive team members plus the boat crew did all they could to assist me in exiting the water, given my knee problems, by me doffing my equipment in the water, crew members lifting it up onto the deck, so I could climb aboard unencumbered. Dived an interesting Japanese freighter wreck sunk by the Americans in World War 2 and several reefs chock a block with fish & corals. Well done Celebes Divers staff!

    Airport transfers must be arranged through the resort.

    Airport transfers must be arranged through the resort. Don't even attempt to do this yourself. You have to love swimming, snorkelling and or diving to make the most of your stay. The resort is in the bunaken national park - so the sites are pretty amazing. There is a spa to enjoy after the relaxing dives. Food is great so no need to drag snack along. Not mush to buy - so make sure you have the essentials! Enjoy a fab experience!

    Loved Bunaken, stayed one week on either side of the island in full board resorts which was good because both sides are so different. Many good dive boats/teams and great snorkeling from the beach or go out with a dive boat. The small town deserves some time spent there and next time I'd stay in town for a few days as well.

    If you are looking at Bunaken as a holiday destination you...

    If you are looking at Bunaken as a holiday destination you are probably already aware of what an amazing place it is for diving or snorkelling, lots of healthy coral and sea life including turtles, rays, small sharks and a never ending variety of fish. It's quite a quiet location which is perfect if you are looking for peace. Bunaken is a very small island so there isn't a town where you can go partying or anything. you are likely to spend the majority of your time in the resort although you can go and explore a little if you wish.

    Well trained diving personnel and generally, a well run very professional operation. Good diving equipment. The help I got with ticketing for my next destination. Excellent location for diving, and snorkeling. The reef up front. Pick up from hotel and drop off to airport worked well. To some extent I was the beneficiary of the recent reopening after Covid and the greater availability of personnel per customer. Still, I would come back to Kuda Laut and Siladen any time. My 8 days here were by far the best of my 23 days in Indonesia.

    Such a great experience. The lodge is located very close to the beach where the boat drops you off. The rooms are very comfy and have AC. Be prepared for a bucket shower! Dion is very friendly and helpful, the diving is very good value and the crew are kind and very good at their jobs. The best part for us was the food!! All three meals are included and the home cooking is really incredible and delicious, they should.open a restaurant! We miss it already Overall we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again

    The room we had (sea view) was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, good mattress, lovely bathroom, nice view from the terrace. The overall atmosphere, both during the day and at night, is cozy, nested in nature. A lot of charm. Not mentioning the owner Fu who is a darling as well as the staff. Food is good and generous. Feet in the water. We are no divers but could enjoy some snorkeling from the hotel and did some kayaking as well. Super-quiet location too.

    The owners and all the staff were not only attentive and considerate but also extremely responsible, making sure everything ran smoothly and providing a really homely feeling which was perfect for me and the new friends I made at meals and on the dive boat. Speaking of diving, the sites at Bunaken are not to be missed, though currents were quite challenging on some of our dives. I was glad to be in the capable hands of resident dive master Jerry.

    The location of the hotel is near the tourist port, in an area with many restaurants and for this reason it is noisy. The staff is very kind, the food is very good, there is a possibility of massage and transfer from/to the airport. There is also the possibility of carrying out some activities arranged by the hotel staff.

    The food was very good. Ferdinand was great, the ferry wasn't running so he was able to find alternative transportation back and forth so we didn't miss out on our time at Bunaken. The reef is right in front of the facility.
