Accommodations in Saonek

The hotel is located in a quiet street. It is rather modern and clean. Beds are comfortable and the hotel installed water fountains in the corridors so no need to purchase bottles of water. The restaurant is good with a large selection of dishes. The PADI staff is professional and the diving equipment is well maintained. There is an old snooker table which is fun for the kids.

The staff was extremely helpful and happy to go the extra step to make our stay very comfortable. They were nice to pack lunch for our diving trip!

The Vogelkopf Resort in Raja Ampat is a real find for anyone looking to relax and enjoy some nature. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. What really stands out is how the owner personally makes sure you're comfortable and enjoying your stay. The rooms are comfy and just what you need to unwind. The highlight for me was the snorkeling; it's some of the best I've ever done, with crystal-clear water and incredible marine life just off the jetty. Plus, the WiFi is surprisingly good for such a remote place, hitting around 30mbps, which is great for staying connected. Just a heads-up, due to the location, the internet might drop during storms, but that's a small price to pay for the beauty and peace you get here. Overall, Vogelkopf Resort is an excellent choice for an stress-free vacation with a bit of adventure and a lot of natural beauty."

Scuba diving base of Scuba Republic with opportunity to div e and to snorkel from the pier.

Staff friendly, place clean, they did what they said they'd do, arranged pick ups, return tickets on ferry. They put in a ladder at the end of the dock so swimmers could enjoy the reef on low tide. Reef was nice.

Very close to harbor and pick up was free. Beautiful large room with comfortable beds. Great warm shower. Large windows looking to the mangroves. Beautiful and peaceful. Great restaurant attached to facility with outstanding service and food. Owner brought us coffee out on the long attached community deck every morning. We enjoyed sitting out there on many occasions. Sunsets are beautiful. Very nice family run homestay. They can arrange outings. Bird hike, blue river, etc. We did not have any issues with mosquitoes or sand flies. Nice walks to see locals folks. We stayed 3 nights.

This was one of our favourite places to stay anywhere! There were so many reasons why: 1. Rashid and Eka, the owners, were amazing hosts. We quickly felt like we were part of the family. Rashid is passionate about Raja Ampat's underwater life and took us on amazing tours. We saw such incredible sights. 2. The bungalows are located on a spectacular reef. You can see so much by snorkelling directly from your bungalow steps. 3. The staff were wonderful! (And great karaoke singers!) 4. There are only three bungalows so far and all the guests eat together for lunch and dinner. We got to know wonderful people from around the world. 5. We spent a week here and a week at a much more expensive resort and this one came out tops for value by far. 6. A village is nearby which was really interesting to visit. 7. Note that the location near mangroves is a positive. We experienced no significant insect issues here and the mangroves harboured amazing fish life.

The property is sectioned off into small apartment style blocks, it has a separate bathroom, living space and kitchen/bathroom. It’s clean, has working air conditioning and decent wi-fi.

New & very clean. Great view of the sea from on high. Nice deck to sit at. Steven, a staff member, helps with whatever you need. The drink water has a hot & cold spigot. Cold water a treat in the tropics.

Husna is the consummate host arranging tours and delicious meals. Fine AC and WiFi in addition to a balcony in a new building.

To start, the villa is gorgeous. Set back in the mangroves, it is truly private and secluded. Everything in the villa has high standards, from the bedding to the shower, air conditioning, etc. It was spotless and everything is very well maintained. The kitchen/living room are open to nature, allowing me to enjoying laying in the jungle on the hammock. Fast internet, hot showers and 24 hr electricity are difficult to find in Raja Ampat and the villa has it all! You can also buy beer/whiskey, etc at the villa for a nice end-of-the-day drink. Food: I had home cooked Indonesian meals every evening. The chef, Dorce, was not only excellent, but gave me her recipes and let me help cook! The breakfasts were European with extra touches such as the cappuccino machine. They also accommodated my food requests as I’m a rather picky eater;) Tours: I booked snorkeling tours every day of my stay. The boat operators and snorkel guide were outstanding! Helpful, good eyes for spotting the difficult fish, and very punctual!! (Rare in Indonesia). Every tour was truly a full day with up to 5 snorkels. I saw everything on my list, plus a lot more! There is also the possibility to snorkel the home reef in fronting the villa. Things I loved: absolute comfort, privacy and luxury. 100% transparency about prices with NO hidden charges. Excellent communication and flexibility when planning tours. Thank you Remko, Caressa, and the entire staff at Luzo for making my trip absolutely unforgettable!!! I’ll be back!

Good basic penginapan in waisai. Good value for the money with working AC and walking distance to the main market.

Very comfortable. Friendly staff. Good food. Nice house reef. Was our first stop in Raja Ampat and we enjoyed our stay there. AC was great to have in the room and it gets quite toasty.

Comfortable and clean place, responsible and friendly staff.

The owner was incredibly helpful with everything

Beautiful location, delicious food, friendly and helpful staff.
