I must begin by telling you that choosing Wakatobi was not my decision. It was my husband’s and his best friend’s idea of a male bonding/diving vacation. The website’s accommodation photos certainly did not appeal to my aesthetics. Neither was the idea that I would be ‘marooned’ on a faraway island for six nites! To top it off, as much... More

You should think twice about taking a dive vacation at Wakatobi. The big problem is that everything is so perfect that you will be spoiled for life and everything else will appear dull and tawdry after. This was our second trip to the resort and we took our 26 year old (newly minted diver) daughter with us on this occasion.... More

We traveled from east coast USA so it was a long trip but totally worth the effort. If one has time I'd suggest taking a week in Bali to adjust to the time difference before getting into the dive rhythm of 3 dives a day. We loved everything about Wakatobi. Great beach front cottage with outdoor shower and porch to... More

Wakatobi is unlike any other dive resort you can imagine. The pristine, easy diving is beyond relaxing. Attention is paid to every detail. The dive masters adapt to your preferences and expectations. The unusual, beautiful animal life and brilliant coral is amazing.The food is abundant and tasty, special , not usual mass feed for dive resorts. There are good wines... More

They did everything perfectly. Excellent dives and dive service, food was fresh and inviting, rooms were great. But the diving made it. Clear water, pristine reefs. A must visit if you are a keen diver or snorkeler.

I am currently sitting in the Laguna resort Bali relaxing after 7 nights at Wakatobi to say the place is fantastic is an understatement. The staff and service is excellent better than many 5,6 * resorts I have stayed at. food brilliant all freshly prepared with multiple meat/fish and vegetables choices the desserts are really good. The main event diving... More

I went to wakatobi with a friend who is in a wheelchair. the resort isn't accessible but they did make an effort to accommodate the needs of someone in a chair. the staff and i mean everyone from maintenance, gardeners, boat crew and the rest where amazing. the stand out for us was Marco our dive experience manager. the man...

We have now visited Wakatobi 4 times and it is one of the places where it gets better every time. The location is very remote but with their air transfer it is one of the easier ones to reach - probably almost faster than going to North Bali from Denpasar. The rooms are wonderful and large - the bathrooms in... More

Stayed at Wakatobi with a dive group of 27, one of whom is confined to a wheel chair (except when he's diving and then he isn't confined by anything). I've never dived with a resort that not only doesn't expect me to carry and set up my own gear, they won't allow it. They wash/rinse everything for you, they provide... More
