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

We enjoyed our stay at Wakatobi resort very much. The service topped everything we have ever experienced! Everybody at Wakatobi resort is committed to excellence and made our holiday an awesome time! Thank you for the opportunity to dive the cave.

The dining was exquisite. The staff were so impressive with greeting everyone by name and making us all feel special individually. Valet diving at its very best — this is the top diving service I’ve experienced out of all the advertised valet services I’ve tried. Our boat crew member was always ahead of the game and quietly did so many things to make the diving seem effortless — great attention to detail, truly exceptional. Our dive master made this trip one of the most memorable and fun trips I’ve ever had. He was perfect — he knew what each of us liked and somehow found all the things for us. His slow pace and attentiveness made us feel secure and allowed us to dive with zero stress. He accommodated our different styles and air consumption effortlessly. I will recommend Wakatobi to everyone!

There is nowhere in the world like Wakatobi Resort! You have ruined our chances of ever travelling to another snorkelling location because nothing could ever be as good. Apart from world-beating reefs, the resort itself is perfect. Our villa was just gorgeous and so comfortable. The daily services were much appreciated. The food was incredible — so much variety and very high quality. Our hot stone massage was outstanding. Lastly, we have to mention the staff — from the gardeners and boat crew to the restaurant staff, reception, and our butlers — everyone was so friendly and helpful. A special thank you to our snorkelling guides for taking us out three times a day, always with a smile and their magical ability to find and name creatures large and small.

The staff are amazing — so helpful and friendly, nothing is too much. Our dive master was very helpful and attentive to our ability and helped us a great deal. He also pointed out things — fish and corals — that we would never have noticed. He increased our education enormously. We would like to thank him for being so personable and friendly — he made us laugh a lot. The resort speaks for itself — wonderful.

The Pelagian offers the best diving, best food, and best live-aboard boat in the business. The staff are energetic, very knowledgeable, and eager to please. We were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped on board and were sad that the trip had to end. We highly recommend the Pelagian and consider it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That’s why we’re coming back soon!

We spent a week at Wakatobi Resort and a week on the Pelagian. It was the best diving experience we have ever had in over 40 years of diving. It is a first-class operation in every sense — food, service, accommodations, and diving. We were treated like family for two weeks and will never forget the Wakatobi experience. The staff’s attention to detail and positive attitude was remarkable. I have run out of superlatives to describe the experience. Book your trip as soon as you can!

The organisation in both areas — diving and accommodation — has been so pleasing to us and, in our opinion, so perfect that we cannot identify any points for improvement in the service. Because of your kindness, courtesy, warm treatment, and excellent service, we can only feel happy and grateful. Thank you very much. We will not forget you. Hopefully life will allow us to return someday.

We have been truly cared for by the entire staff and are very grateful for our time here. Our dive guide was a true example of professionalism tempered with humour and a deep connection to the undersea world. His daily briefings were perfectly presented in an understandable format, and his big smile and positive attitude made every day lovely. We felt safe and well cared for as new divers and are grateful for our new connection to the ocean. All of the staff here are incredible our dive coordinator continually monitored our happiness and made sure all was perfect. The attention to detail and friendliness of your staff is exceptional. The way you sorted divers into experience levels was perfect.

Amazing staff, food, and marine life. Staying in The Residence has been a dream. The butlers and dive instructors were so helpful and nice.

Our dive guides were both fabulous. Hospitality staff were so friendly and professional. Food excellent. Dive boats and crew unsurpassed. Loved our bungalow and the amazing housekeeping. The house reef is superb. We will return for a fourth time soon. Loved the fish guide in the room and the log books. Thank you!

Dan and I want to express our sincerest gratitude to the entire staff of Wakatobi for making our honeymoon everything we dreamed of. Scuba diving is our shared passion, and we have never experienced diving at the level of experience and comfort Wakatobi offers. Our stay was the ultimate in luxury — pristine reefs, delicious food, great company, attentive staff, and beautiful accommodations. Of all the places we have visited, we knew within six hours of arriving that we would be back.

Our villa was comfortable in every way. The pillows were exactly what we each individually needed. The lounge furniture on the patio was perfect for late-night chats while we looked at the stars. The jacuzzi was the perfect way to wind down after a day of dives. Our butler checked in regularly and made sure we had everything we needed each day. When I decided to rest one day and paint while Dan did his dives, our butler helped me set up my art supplies on the patio and thoughtfully made me coffee. There wasn’t a moment when I didn’t feel cared for in even the smallest of ways. I thoroughly enjoyed my spa day — our therapist has healing hands!

The diving experience at Wakatobi was world class. I love knowing what to expect and how things flow — it enabled me to relax and enjoy all of our dives. The dive boats were amazing, comfortable and spacious, and well operated. The attention to detail from all the boat crew was evident everywhere I looked. Our Private Dive Experience Manager was absolutely wonderful to dive with — professional, funny, and interesting. He paid close attention when I expressed that I wanted to learn the names of marine life, so throughout our dives when we encountered something he would write it down for me. He also knew the reefs so well that he always knew exactly where to find the creatures I most wanted to see.

Dan and I both have allergies, and the dining team were very attentive to my questions and concerns about which foods were safe for me to eat. I deeply appreciated their proactive attention and awareness. Our waiter would remember how much I loved ice cream and sorbet and checked in each day to see which I’d prefer. Chef was so talented — Dan and I enjoyed the Indonesian cooking class and are excited to try the recipes. Learning about Indonesian cooking was a highlight of the trip. Our stay at Wakatobi was perfect. Everything exceeded expectations. We cannot believe a place as beautiful and well run as Wakatobi exists! We very much look forward to returning. Wakatobi is a slice of heaven on Earth. Thank you to the entire Wakatobi staff.

Wakatobi is exceptional! You’ve thought of every detail and then some. Every person here was warm and helpful, and it was so very nice to see them every day. Our guide was so fantastic, pointing out so many interesting things, but even more so he’s such a caring human being. I can’t say enough good things about our experience.

My opinion is expressed by my husband, Juan Montero Fernández. I am delighted with all your service. Thank you for everything.

The boat crews are spectacular! The restaurant staff always make the day better! The new boat landing at the airport is a noteworthy improvement.

The staff are consistently warm, attentive, and welcoming in a way that feels genuinely sincere. Our villa was immaculately clean. A nightly hot bath with lemon/lime-scented oil was beautifully prepared. The private boat is a highlight — a great luxury to each have our own dive guide. Such a wonderful crew who not only helped us in and out of the water, but rinsed and dried our suits between dives and prepped our masks — they never fogged even once! The food after the first dive and at lunch was better than in the restaurant! Our crew member made suggestions for dishes from different parts of Indonesia — delicious and fascinating — and he and the dive guides gave Indonesian lessons.
