Love the ambience, not crowd like u have your own beach.

Amazing place, with impeccable hospitality. Definitely a great way to get off the beaten track, but with a host with perfect english who can connect you to everything you might want to see or do !

Sun moon was a fabulous location not far from Bitung and right on the beach. The accommodation and communal spaces were of exceptional standard as was every meal. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming also great to spend time chatting with. Can’t recommend sunmoon enough and look forward to returning one day.,

I am a repeat guest. I visited this place two years ago, and I had wish to come back to this place. After two years passed, they still kept the maintenance well and keep the places very clean. It is impressive to have nice hot shower and good wifi in this small island. I have tried different dive resorts in Indonesia but this dive resort is absolutely the best quality. It is easy access to Bunaken National Marine Park so you do not need to taxi a dive spot for a long time. Even if you do not dive, you will have a great experience with snorkeling. The guests who come to this resorts are also very approachable and friendly. If you are thinking to come to Bunaken, I highly recommend this place.

We adored our time in Cocotinos, so much so that when a different part of our North Sulawesi trip fell through, we immediately went to book again at Cocotinos. The food is good and varied (Western, Indonesian, everything is well-made and available), the staff are sweet and polite and thoughtful, the dive shop and crew are solid, and the grounds + garden + pool + beach + rooms are all clean, in perfect shape, and welcoming.

Honestly, what is there not to like. Food, amazing. Staff, amazing. Diving, amazing. Location, amazing. I got a recommendation from a friend on Bunaken, and they way she spoke about this place made my decision to go have a look. Nothing beats word of mouth, and she ain’t lying. What a wonderful part of the world. I initially was only supposed to stay 3 nights? But I extended my stay another week. I was so happy in this secluded environment, in my little bungalow which was more than I could have asked for. I slept so well, with the windows open to all the nature and my heart happy in the little cocoon of my mosquito net. They even provide mosquito coils outside your bungalow for double protection. These little touches, like water in your room and having help carrying my insanely heavy bags to my room felt like I was a VIP. I’m old, I’m tired of carrying my diving stuff everywhere. But with a boat drop right to the doorstep and a pickup service of finding me somewhere over in the Bunaken area to them was seamless. Thank you Kate. I know people are stressful but communicating with you was a breeze. They have Wi-Fi. And because I work and travel that was an added bonus seeing I was basically touch and go on Bunaken. James is an excellent host and dive leader, his enthusiasm for everything, land, sea and everything in between, including our time in the village, putting up with me, running the place and making sure that everyone is happy (must be exhausting) makes you realise why they both decide to call Nomad there home. I will send cheeseburgers. Thank you both so much. It was honestly the highlight of my trip around Sulawesi and something that I will not forget so soon. I honestly think it’s the best kept secret (so I wouldn’t want to share but I’m telling everyone) and I was lucky enough to have the boat to myself some days, but also when the other guests were there it was our little family. I wish you guys the best! X

We stayed in a bungalow. It was perfect and beautifully appointed with lots of outlets, hooks, and flat surfaces for your things. Also, great air conditioning. Water dispenser in room with hot and cold (tea/coffee too). Our bathroom was beautiful with one open air shower and one covered. Everything was really clean. Restaurant was fantastic. Loren the chef is amazing. House reef is terrific. Snorkelling/dive staff were accommodating and professional. Boats were clean and new. Beach is beautiful to walk. Grounds were lush and well kept. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Well run operation. Great all around. Highly recommend.
