Hotels with Parking in Bunaken

Novita is a great host, really easygoing and she has the coziest home, with a cute dog and cat. She also recommended us to go to her brother Lorenso, who has another homestay and we had an amazing snorkeling afternoon there (just in front of Lorenso's). I was also lucky enough to be there for a wedding of a family member of hers, which made my stay in Bunaken even more memorable. Overall, I felt like home :) Rooms have mosquito nets and fans.

The location. Frangky, his wife and Eda made the stay comfortable. The food was excellent (I really miss the fish) and everyone was very kind. There is usually chicken or fish but you can request vegetarian/vegan options. The beds were comfortable and the mosquito nets worked well (though I didn't notice many mosquitos). The location is excellent as snorkeling by the nearby beaches is great. You can see turtles basically every time you go. The nights are quiet and you can sleep with just a fan. If you need AC that is available as well. Frangky also offers trips and the dolphin trip was a good choice.

If you are coming here for snorkeling, Pangalisan beach and the area in front of Bunaken cafe n resto is the best and easiest shore-entry snorkel I have found. It's a 15 minute walk. The area directly in front of the homestay is not well-suited for snorkeling due to boat traffic and currents. It's so good that I'm coming back again.

Beautiful grounds with lush garden and a pool. The walk to the jetty was really nice!

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.

Stefan is the best host you can possibly have - if you appreciate exceptional thoughtfulness, hospitality, caring and local knowledge. He will always take care of your needs, and help you with anything. If you are wise enough to have Stefan guide you for boat tours and to take you snorkeling, you will have the best possible time. He is patient, knows the best times to go to different places, if possible will wait for other boats to leave so you have a more personal experience with the dolphins or the turtles, etc. Stefan’s family is lovely and will make you the best meals, always respecting your dietary choices. If you are very lucky Stefan might bring out his guitar after dinner.

If you read previous reviews you will see that the staff, food and location are highly rated, as they should be. Everyone is special to the staff. This was my first time in a Homestay and they made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment I arrived. Marta and Mama Mhey served wonderful meals with proteins, carbs, veggies and fruits. Honestly, some of the best meals I had during my time in Indonesia. I went on fishing and snorkeling trips with the owner, Franz. He really knows his stuff. He put us on fish and turtles and some really remarkable locations. And, although I did not go diving myself this time, he did organize a dive trip for other guests. There are many Homestays on this island, but you should seriously consider this location if you want an outstanding experience and value for your money.

Very nice snorkling from the beach. The place is on the beach.

Naca the host is so sweet and welcoming. There is just one room, but it is much nicer than the rooms my friends rented next door which was twice the price. If you want a cozy beautiful place to stay, and can get your meals and activities on your own, this is the best place

Loved it : food is amazing, live music, location but above all the family runming the homestay is wondeful. Highly recommend !
