Hotels with Parking in Tapokreng

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."

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Comfortable and clean place, responsible and friendly staff.

I booked 8 days here. I went diving for three days on the Pulau Gam and snorkeled daily on Friwen. They are about a 10 mins boat ride. The Homestay is rustic. There are two beds covered with mosquito net. They are totally fine but somehow one would get in every night. It’s an island at the equator, there are mosquitoes. Also geckos! That’s part of the adventure. The room has an interior slide lock and there’s a clipping lock with a key for locking when you’re away. Honestly I never locked my place. The island seems very safe. Kids playing, most of the folks on the island are involved in tourism, though they don’t speak much English. It wasn’t an issue. I traveled solo and spent most afternoons in the hammock, reading, writing or napping. The food was amazing, delicious, the cook is very sweet and calls you to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fresh fish is caught daily. Vegetables and rice, very delicious and all included. Large quantities. Box lunches are available if you are diving all day. Bananas are snacks. Unlimited instant coffee, tea, hot water. The island is stunning. Sunsets amazing. The reef has more life to see while snorkeling than most places (Europe, Caribbean, US, Latin America) have to see while scuba diving! I saw turtles, squid, dolphins playing, reef sharks and millions of coral. A not about cash and other fees: you will need ~140,000 to take a ferry from Sorong to Waisai. Then you’ll need 600,000 to ride each way from Waisai to Friwen (this can be divided with others, provided there are other riders.). On Waisai, you’ll have to buy a Marine Park pass and an entry pass, in total 1,000,000. So you’ll need around 2,250,000 in cash (be prepared bc the pass can be purchased online, or card but sometimes their system is down and you have to pay cash). In Sorong airport there are four ATMs, most of them don’t work well. There are ATMs on Waisai but you have to ride a motorcycle to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The owner was incredibly helpful with everything
