I recently stayed at Cicak Senang and agree with the other complementary postings. The food was excellent- lots of fresh fish. However, it is the people who set this resort apart. The dive guide, Jimmy, was perfect. He allowed us to set the pace of the dives, including getting ready and into the water. He has been diving these reefs... More

We had four fabulous nights with Willeke and Jerry, who are without doubt two of the loveliest hosts you could ever hope to find. The bungalow we stayed in was large and clean; Willeke couldn't do enough to accommodate individual (vegetarian) dietary requests; she has fascinating stories to tell about her experience as a Dutch national settled in Bunaken; and...

Definitely a place to stay. The bungalows are larger than what you will find anywhere else in that price range in Sulawesi. They are clean and have a large bathroom, bedroom, sitting room and veranda. It is true that you can have your privacy, as all bungalows are near to each other but not so near to let people see...

We had great snorkeling spots and especially the night snorkeling was one we definitely will remember. We say crab, lobster, sleeping turtle, spanish dancer, octopus and many lion fish. Our kids 12 and... More

We stayed at this lovely place for 3 nights. You have to know that Palua Bunaken is an Island and everything is shipped to the island by boat. So the prices may seem a bit high, but most of the food and equipment has come from Manado by boat. We had a basic but very decent wooden bungalow on a... More

Its wonderful if you want a real tropical getaway. In front is a beach and some mangrove trees (where you can snorkel if desired) and... More

The best place to stay at Bunaken is with Willeke and Jerry! The owners are great and take care of everything. They have five wooden bungalows with a lot of privacy. Just in front of the resort is a lot of coral for snorkeling and diving. And very important: the food is incredible!

During my stay in Manado a few times I've been to Bunaken. Snorkling and diving in the beautiful coral reefs. We stayed at Happy Gecko Resort always because Jerry and Willeke are the most attractive resort owners (and the fish is so incredibly delicious:-P). The houses are simple but good. I hope ever to return to Bunaken and then I... More
