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!

Excellent food, lots of fruit, good variety, different dishes every meal. Fish was very fresh and often accompanied by a photo of the actual fish. Stephen and Missi made us feel like part of the family. Stephen arranged for car and boat transportation from the airport and later to Tangkoko. Also for a snorkeling boat. Very attentive and interested in our welfare.

3WILL Bunaken Dive Resort, hotel in Bunaken

Located in Bunaken, 3WILL Bunaken Dive Resort is only a short distance from beautiful snorkelling and diving spots. It boasts a diving centre, massage services and a tour desk.

I’m fully satisfied staying with this dive centre. To be honest, at the first day just for checking I visited another centre near and was shocked in a bad way. So now I have no regrets that have dived with this professional team because I may compare with others. Especially if you plan to rent equipment - I may recommend 3WILL Bunaken. Food was tasty. Bungalow was clean. Lots of areas for spending free time (if you have powers after busy diving day). Also in one step nice home spot for snorkelling and diving. Thank you guys for a great finish of my vacation. I will be glad to come back

    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.

    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.

    Really lovely resort grounds with both pool and beach access. We stayed in a family cottage that was really well laid out and super comfortable. Meals had a good selection of both Indonesian and western options. Staff was great throughout the stay. Our daughter had her birthday while we were there and they made her feel really special with a custom cake, live band singing happy birthday, etc.

    The food was uniformly excellent with great variety and careful preparation. The managers and staff were outstanding. Diving was spectacular and the guides highly skilled. The most meaningful aspect was the attention given by the managers, Ana and Miguel and Daniel and Melania, to myself as a solo traveler. They made me feel most welcome and like a part of the team. Unforgettable.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful. The snorkeling on the house reef was the best on the island. The diversity of the fish and quantity was exceptional. We loved the fact that no music was played in the dining area.
