OK, now imagine this: “You just wake up from a peaceful night sleep, get out of bed and step out on your very own veranda overlooking a peaceful sea and Manado Tua (a sleeping volcano set in a turquoise/blue sea). You wash-up and walk down the graceful hillside to the restaurant veranda for your breakfast while looking at incomparable scenery.... more

We have just returned home from a lovely time at Kima Bajo Resort and Spa in North Sulawesi. After spending a week on a live aboard dive boat, I was happy to spend less time under the water and to relax at the pool and spa while my husband kept diving every day. I really liked the idea of the... more

Fantastic Garden! Fantastic villas & view(deluxe) ! Very poor level of restaurant: food quality /choice/service! Dramatic breakfast ! Lot of people to serve,gentle, want to please you.....but don't know how to do it and what to handle. Unless you're a mad diving guy spending all day's below ...............i won't recommend this disapointing hotel (for now). You have other choice around... more

What a great place to relax away from the hussle and bussle of big cities and big hotels. Wonderful pool on the beach overlooking Menado Tua volcano and the Bunaken Marine Park. Excellent diving with walls, fish and amazing critters that you would not believe exist. Food was varied, well prepared and presented and suited my laidback style. Wonderful spa... more

In short: Phenomenal, unspoilt location for diving. Very nice resort, though there's some room for improvement in the "luxury" areas such as quality of food & spa services. Would not recommend the resort if you're looking for a big beach resort, nightlife, or a place with many options for diversions within the resort. The resort has some growing up to... more

Stayed at Kima Bajo for a long weekend, two adults and an eight-month baby, in a villa, in Nov06. I did two dives at Bunaken with the onsite dive operator, Odyssee divers, and my wife enjoyed the Spa. We and another couple were the only guests. Kima Bajo is a small, boutique-style resort built by a Singapore-HongKong-Japanese investment group and... more

We cannot labelled it has THE best vacation we ever had but it was one of the best in a line of vacations we had to date in Indonesia. We just returned from an exhaustive but well earned short vacation and a most wonderful time at this resort. Exhaustive because of the 3 dives a day we did to maximise... more

We spent 5 days in a Bunga Villa at the Kima Bajo Resort in Manado Indonesia in May, 2006. The room was beautiful and the view spectacular. We particularly liked the Bali type shower located in shielded outdoor area adjacent to the bathroom. They have plenty of hotel personnel. The personnel are generally polite to the extreme, slow moving and... more

I stayed in Kima Bajo Resort and Spa upon recommendation from a friend (Thom-thanks a lot!) who has been there in 2005 for my honeymoon recently, March 2006. All over, I admire the beauty of the resort especially the sunset view. My wife and me stayed at the pool until the sun goes down. It's such a splendid view and... more
