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

“Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. They truly have thought of everything to make for a delightful stay, and the reefs were perfect for snorkeling! Our snorkeling guide was excellent – very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring for our safety. The boat facilities and care of our equipment made for easy and comfortable outings. We enjoyed a chance to look through a telescope at the clear night sky – a nice bonus! “

“All of the staff have been absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond our expectations.
Our dive master was the absolute best we have ever had. We had a wonderful experience and are looking forward to returning.”

“The best dive resort we have ever stayed at, and truly one of the best experiences my husband and I have had in all our travels. Your customer service is second to none. From the moment we were greeted in Bali by the Wakatobi staff and then throughout our stay at the resort itself it has been spectacular!”

“Everything on board the Pelagian was exceptional. Our every need was taken care of. The food was varied and delicious. The diving was beautiful, and the muck diving and the critter hunting were so much fun.”

“A class-act boat and crew. We have never been on such a lovely well-appointed live-aboard. The crew was exceptional, and the food was amazing. The best ever! We will never forget our experience with the Pelagian.”

“The service was friendly, professional, and timely. The diving was outstanding, the boats were comfortable; it was easy to gear up and easy exiting the water. Love the towel animals and sand art – a fun whimsical touch. We will be back for sure!“

“Words cannot express the attention to detail of the resort, dining and diving at Wakatobi – everything is perfect. Had my 600th dive here and have traveled the world since retiring. Love the upgrade in bathroom and space of the Turtle Beach Bungalows. The staff continues to amaze me with the level of genuine service and care – to learn all names in one day is incredible! Being recognized and hugged as a repeat customer is unbelievable! It’s beyond words. Thank you for the experience.”

“Wakatobi has been on my bucket list for at least 10 years. It was all I had hoped for and more. The staff, food, accommodations, and diving are all first rate! After 10 days, I wish I was staying another 10 days. Next time.”

“The staff was so nice and helpful. Everyone has a smile on their face and is so friendly and eager to serve. I am amazed that they all know our names on the first day. Welcoming at the airport in Bali was great, the boat crew was amazing, the food was delicious, the grounds were clean and beautiful. Enjoyed hearing the history of Wakatobi and how the resort is having a positive effect on the community. I have nothing but positive things to say.”

“The dive operation was great, and I had best guide I have ever had – pointed out hundreds of creatures, so patient with the photographers in my group. And above, on the boat, such a gentleman.”

“This was our first trip to Wakatobi. Even though it was unfortunately brief, it was very memorable in a fantastic way. I would like to reiterate many of the comments made by previous guests – the diving is great, the food selections and the accommodations super comfortable. I think what separates one dive resort from another is the service and Wakatobi has it down to a science. The Wakatobi employees are so gracious and go above and beyond to make sure that every detail is covered – always with a smile. This trip will be a great memory for both, my wife and myself. We can’t wait for a return visit!”

For me as a non-diver, it is the that people make my trip! This is my 3rd & my husband’s 4th trip to the resort. When I think of Wakatobi – I think of beautiful water and the people. We have already decided to come back October 2025. Also, I had a fantastic massage and took a fun and informative sarong class. Next time I would love to do the bird watching. This is one of my favorite places on earth and I’m already looking forward to returning!

“The new Turtle Beach Bungalows are elegant and spacious. As always, the people here are wonderful and that is what brings us back. Kudos to the chef and all the dining staff. I love the freshly caught fish – such a treat. Shout out to the Waka IX for excellence in diving and driving.”

“What a wonderful place! The staff makes it happen! The kitchen, dining, gardening, housekeeping, dive & others bring customer service to a level I’ve never seen before, and I live in a resort area in Colorado. We had the most knowledgeable, fun, dive master I’ve ever seen, and I have dove around the world. She is a true gem!”

“The food service is amazing and the and staff is excellent. Delicious and varied food choices, and always well-prepared. The back-of-house staff whom we did not see is clearly well trained and just as meticulous in their job as the staff we interacted with. Congratulations to all.”
