Villas in Manado

It is not a room; it is a villa. There are two terasses with great views. Big well kept garden and huge living room and kitchen. The breakfast was exceptional, huge and incredibly varied. The caretakers where extremely polite that did everthing to make us feel at home. The wifi was great. You can walk from the house straight to the vulcano. And most importantly: no car noise. Bath. Perfect for families. Bedrooms a bit more basic, but with very good beds. They can arrange dinner, but Grab is also possible. A bit out of town; but Gojek can take you everywhere and again: no car noise :). We rented a scooter for touring the beautiful countryside. Lots to see and do (Kali waterfall is amazingly beautifull for instance or the alternative Mahawu vulcano).

The Queens Villa is the pearl of North Sulawesi ! I’ll start with the food. You don’t eat at Queens Villa, you dine. The food is prepared from start to presentation by master chefs. They take great care and pride in their work and will always visit your table to be sure everything is excellent. They even take notice of what you don’t eat so they know what you like. Meals are served around the three tiered pool that is crisp and clean and no chlorine ! A beautiful water falls with soft lighting brings a soothing atmosphere. The property is always occupied by many artist always making wonder wood works, fountains and flora that feels like the garden of Eden. Dinners and evening are a great mix of international artist and travelers sometimes great conversations sometimes musicians playing guitars and drums, flutes and on occasion Karaoke singing! They have a complete network of drivers, guide and business people all around Sulawesi. If you don’t want to carry cash around the village and boats and on tours you can just tell them your hotel and they will send the bill to Medi and Julieanna. They can arrange any kind of tours and excursion tailored to your likes, so you don’t need to pay for packaged tours that you don’t want and at a great price. They are the only ATM on the island at this time which is really convenient. And the most important part for me is the dive shop. Local guides with eagle eyes and fantastic skills!!! Again, very wonderful prices and equipment. Indonesia in my opinion is the greatest dive sites on our planet right now and Bunaken is right up there with Raja Ampat and their reefs and dive sites are just minutes away on a boat. And for turtle lovers, this is by far the turtle haven of our planet bar none!!! My favorite by far!!!!!

Excellent. All the room inside the villas was so clean and comfortabel...

Love the ambiance and the place Clean place and offer lovely view

Sincerity, genuine generosity, cleanliness. Everyone who works there were excellent. Amanda is an amazing host, together with Abdon and Yanni the chef and the girls with a big smile on their face all day long. All meals were superb and plenty. One can either snorkel, dive or just sit at the veranda and enjoy the changing view of the tide.
