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

Simply dreamlike — superb food and everyone so warm and helpful.

Excellent in every way — beyond excellent. An incredibly great experience for which we thank you, from our hearts to yours.

Amazing diving in a beautiful location. My dive guide was a charming, delightful person — very funny and intelligent. She has the eyes of a hawk and pointed out many things I would not otherwise have seen, with excellent knowledge of the ocean creatures. The resort is like paradise. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The rooms are good. The food is excellent and plentiful. I will definitely come again.

The house reef and the staff are truly beautiful!

A very well-run resort — a lot goes on in the background to make meals, boats, and tours run on time. The staff are most welcoming. The dive location is terrific, and you are making a positive contribution to Indonesia.

The resort and the staff are top-notch. We enjoyed our time here more than anywhere else. We didn’t have to do a thing — everything was perfectly planned. From snorkelling gear to food and service, nothing was missing. Our guide was absolutely fantastic — always one step ahead and very friendly. The restaurant team is top-notch — very, very friendly and professional, and we always had great meals. The grounds are beautifully maintained by the gardeners, and the patterns on the paths are simply brilliant.

Exceeded our expectations in every way. We have dived in many places around the world, but we can hardly imagine anywhere being better organised. From the very first moment we felt welcome and perfectly looked after.

A very special thank you to our dive instructor. Her professionalism, her enormous knowledge of marine life, and her incredible eye for macro creatures made every single diving experience unique. The care and attention were absolutely sensational. We especially looked forward to the warm menthol towels after every dive — an absolutely brilliant idea.

The entire resort team was also extraordinarily warm and attentive. From day one we were greeted by name, our personal preferences were immediately noted and lovingly accommodated. This individual and warm care is what makes Wakatobi something truly special.

The resort is beautifully maintained, the bungalows are wonderful, and the food is excellent. We were also particularly impressed by the philosophy behind the resort: the active integration of the local community — from gardeners and craftsmen to chefs and waiters — and the resulting protection of the reefs make diving here not only spectacular but also sustainable and authentic. For us, Wakatobi is absolute world class.

Nothing but the best — we’ll be back!

Where to begin — Wakatobi is surreal. It is an experience of a lifetime. From being greeted at the airport the moment you arrive to those precious last minutes of shared farewells, each guest is made to feel extremely special. Every staff member greets you by name with the warmest, genuine, welcoming smile and is attentive throughout your stay. The accommodations are luxurious and spacious, beautifully designed and very clean. Housekeeping does an excellent job of making sure you have all the comfort you need. The dining room and outdoor seating area are beautifully decorated. The food — oh my! A plethora of appetisers are displayed upon walking in — succulent, colourful, perfectly prepared little dishes that look like pieces of art on a plate. Not only are these elegant to look at but each one is tasty. It is like having a party in your mouth, meal after meal, day after day. My husband and I have had the privilege of diving in various seas and oceans around the world, but I can say without hesitation that Indonesia is amazing. Here at Wakatobi you will be amazed at the colours of the corals and the brilliant fish and other marine life that encircle you during every dive. The dive team deserves an award — never have I experienced such well-executed and professional preparations. The dive boats are luxurious, and the dive masters are extremely knowledgeable and will identify marine life throughout the dive. This incredible resort also offers many other activities. The towel-folding class was a delight. The resort nurse got me back on my feet so I could resume diving and snorkelling — thank you! It would take forever to name every amazing staff member we came into contact with during our stay, so please accept a big thank you to all. May we meet again.

Beautiful, wonderful, well-presented, well-managed.

Another wonderful week at Wakatobi! A huge thank you to each and every staff member — always a welcoming smile, generous of spirit, and helpful in every way. Our dive guides’ guiding and knowledge are remarkable, and we had so much laughter with them — such good company! Restaurant staff — fabulous! See you same time next year.

Our second visit to Wakatobi has been as good as the first, and it certainly will not be our last. Very pleased with the villa — everything was very well prepared and maintained. Thanks to the attentive and hard-working housekeeping crew, landscaping staff, and butler team (the towel animals were a nice surprise each day!). The food was as good as we could have asked for. Thank you to the kitchen staff on both the service and food preparation side. The dive guide was attentive and great to dive and hang out with, and the AOW instructor was an extremely patient and great teacher. The cake was delicious and a wonderful surprise to mark the AOW certification. Thank you all and we will be back!

Our dive guide was a great snorkelling guide — knowledgeable, kind, and enthusiastic. The dining room staff were always very friendly and the food options were plentiful and delicious. Our butlers took excellent care of our room. We look forward to coming back. The sarong-tying class was very informative too. Beautiful resort, well maintained, and excellent staff — friendly, professional, and great at their jobs. We really appreciate their dedication and engagement. Facilities and dive equipment are top-notch.

Excellent! Every detail was taken care of. I particularly liked that communication was excellent — staff were well informed and eager to make my stay a wonderful experience. The arrival greeting with the Bali staff was a really nice extra touch. After several flights and many hours of travel, it was lovely to have someone greet me and make sure I was informed about the transit procedures.

Wow, wow, wow! Sensational reefs, wonderful people, great resort. We will definitely be coming back.
