Friendly staff, clean, comfy, good value, wifi works like a charm. I will return in a week!

We spent three unforgettable days at this little island paradise. Even during the monsoon season the weather was kind to us, allowing us to explore what may be one of the most spectacular marine parks in the world. The resort’s location is simply perfect — vibrant coral reefs begin just a short swim from the beach. Put on your snorkel and within minutes you may find yourself swimming alongside green sea turtles and countless tropical fish. The resort has a wonderfully intimate feel, and true to its name it may well be the best place on the island to watch the sunrise. An almost spiritual experience. What makes this place exceptional, however, is the people. Ernie and her team — especially Novi — embody Indonesian hospitality at its very best: warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They even arranged our transport from Manado Airport and later onward to Tomohon, making our travels effortless. During our stay we also had the chance to explore the nearby village and witness the simple rhythm of island life — fishermen heading out to sea, children playing soccer, neighbors gathering on their porches for evening prayers. A simple life, yet a deeply content one. Leaving was not easy. We truly left a piece of our hearts here — and we hope to return one day. Thank you Ernie, thank you Novi, for everything.

The place feels quite outdated, so don’t expect much in terms of comfort or facilities. However, for a one-night stay near the airport, it might work if you just need a basic place to sleep.
