You’ll have a great time, but don’t take our word for it…

Every time I come here I can always greatly enjoy my stay, even without trying! The rooms are always squeaky clean and fresh, just perfect when you come back from diving and want to relax.

The resort is a perfect mixture of nature and humanity, with natural, but managed wildlife everywhere. The cleaning actions of dive guides and gardeners show the good impact the resort has on its sensitive, natural surroundings and the will of the resort community to make this corner of the world a better place, for both nature and guests.

All crew members, no matter who or where, are always friendly and welcoming, leaving a great impact on every guest. One of the reasons I love to be here are the dive guides. Each and every one of them is so smart and kind! I have known some of them for three years now and they are part of the reasons we come here. Well done and great job to them! One guide I just met this year is one of the resort’s best dive guides and the greatest bubble-ring maker teacher ever!

Wonderful week! The staff really make this place — so friendly and helpful and going out of their way to make my stay faultless. On the boats, great assistance and dive leadership. In the restaurant, fabulous food and attentive service. At reception, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Thanks to all.

A haven of wellbeing in a paradisiacal diving area. Very personal all-round care — every wish is taken seriously and every effort is made to fulfill it. The food is first-class and extraordinarily varied. The staff in all areas are very warm, endlessly helpful and attentive. The Turtle Beach Bungalow was beautiful and the large sheltered terrace was very much appreciated. There is also a great selection of vegetarian dishes. The dive crew is likewise outstanding.

Amazing trip from start to finish, every detail perfect. Every single interaction with resort staff is wonderful — it is very hard to single anyone out, but massive thanks to the dive guide for making diving so fun, educational and exciting. The restaurant staff were all fabulous, and special mention to the chef for the amazing cake to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. Special mention also to the staff who made up our room with amazing towel art and decorations for our 26th, and the garden staff for perfect sand patterns and sand castles! The longhouse staff were so helpful, and the food was next level in the restaurant. Only our third trip here — can’t wait to bring our daughters next time!

Dear Wakatobi Team, once again we had a wonderful time with you. We enjoyed every dive, the attentive care from the dive assistants, the delicious food and the warm interactions. It is also lovely to see how many long-standing staff members work at the resort — a great sign from a guest’s perspective too. We were once again able to learn a great deal about the Wakatobi underwater world. It was fascinating what was discovered and shown to us, and with such patience to let us look at and photograph things along the way. The villa service was, as always, at the highest level. Thank you for the hospitality and hopefully see you soon.

We were on the Pelagian together from April 6–12 and really enjoyed it. The cabins are very spacious and well-appointed — we stayed in both the Deluxe and Standard cabins. There is plenty of storage space and the daybed is very practical. The dive sites were excellent and the service provided by the boat crew and guides was outstanding. The food was very good and the service throughout was always very attentive and friendly.

I have had a brilliant week here. All aspects of my stay have been first class, starting with the excellent, friendly, helpful staff in all areas — general staff, restaurant staff, diving staff, boat crew and also in Bali. The full dive equipment I rented was fine. The dive sites — I visited 17 during the 6 days of diving — were varied and very special, really beautiful. Our dive leader was super nice, helpful with the initial practicalities, guided us very competently, was knowledgeable of the sites and marine life and looked after us very well. I really cannot think of anything which could have been done to make the whole Wakatobi experience better!

Big thank you! First time in a scuba diving resort — magic experience. Great staff!

The service was incredible.

Our dive guide did an outstanding job supporting my family in the best way — combining diving safety and entertainment, showing the beautiful nature and especially looking for the small creatures like special snails, fish, nudibranch and so on. Our snorkel guide also did an excellent job showing all the interesting sea life. What great service — honest friendliness fulfilling all of our special wishes throughout the day. The team are going the extra mile. Food taste was excellent — yummy yummy! We will definitely come back!

We would like to once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this extraordinary experience. The paradise you have created here is truly something special. The breathtaking underwater world we discovered while snorkelling deeply amazed us — an unforgettable adventure that will stay with us for a long time. But it wasn’t just nature that enchanted us — it was especially you. Your friendliness, helpfulness, and warm hospitality made our stay perfect. In every moment, we could feel the dedication and passion with which you care for your guests.

My experience at Wakatobi was wonderful. The experience was so unique because everything was catered to you at a personal level. Staff greeted you by name, which you don’t see anywhere else, and the dive plans were hand drawn with guides happy to personalise your experience so that you were more comfortable. The creature comforts were really appreciated — the patterns and designs printed in the sand were such a lovely touch and the towel animals after your room had been cleaned were very cute. All staff were very approachable and lovely to talk to. Our dive guide was incredibly kind and very experienced and really seemed to care about my experience and happiness at the resort — talking to us like a friend rather than a guide. All in all I’m so happy I came here. The house reef and diving is, in my opinion, unmatched to anywhere else I’ve been, and I’ve been all over the world. A huge thank you to all staff, guides, and everyone in between for making this a one-of-a-kind getaway.

Every day I saw a new fish or creature I had never seen before — for example, 3 volleyball-sized stonefish on the night dive at Waiti Ridge. Fantastic!

Excellent crew. Super food. Great diving. Well done, folks!

The dive boat crew was very helpful. The food was great and the staff attentive and helpful. The buggy drivers were friendly and responsive. The accommodations were amazing.
