You’ll have a great time, but don’t take our word for it…
Truly Remarkable— We Will Be Back!
We had a wonderful first trip! Thanks to our resort team for taking care of everything and feeding us so well. The crew on our private dive boat were amazing — they are the best! Our dive masters were incredible — they found and showed us amazing things underwater. And a final big thank you to the team who helped upgrade us to the courtyard residence. It was a truly remarkable experience. We look forward to our next trip with our new Indonesian family!
Exceeded Expectations
The whole experience exceeded expectations. Service, food, housekeeping, diving — everything was perfect.
Attention to Detail is Amazing
Your attention to detail, and your staff’s attention to detail, is amazing. It was a perfect stay. Incredible hospitality — all worth the wait to get here. The best dive boat experience in all 40 years of diving. Space, comfort, bathroom — the little extras have spoiled us for life! We appreciated dives being tailored to comfort levels. We truly appreciate our dive team for going above and beyond. Our dive guide was amazing! We enjoyed the other guides as well. The boat staff were spot on. We loved our dining staff. We took the village tour, and our guide was also great.
Amazing Snorkeling
The room is clean and beautiful. The staff were enthusiastic, friendly, and polite. The snorkeling experience was amazing. The food was delicious, although not entirely to my taste — but still great!
A Beautiful Holiday at Wakatobi
We all had a very good time. The organization, starting from email correspondence to flights to arrival, was excellent. The bungalows are beautiful, the beds comfortable, and the outdoor shower fantastic. The desserts were fantastic. The boats, diving, and snorkeling were great — we all felt safe at all times. The boys were happy with their dive guide, and I was happy with my snorkel guide, who showed me all sorts of underwater life, which I am very grateful for. The people and service are fantastic — they are all so nice, gentle, and caring. We felt very well looked after. All in all, a beautiful holiday. Thank you for celebrating Marc’s birthday, and for taking such good care of us. Our dive guide was great — very experienced, and handled the boys well. The boat crew was very caring. Our snorkel guide showed me everything he saw — I loved snorkeling with him. The restaurant staff were very attentive, and my massage was great!
5th Visit—Will Not be Our Last!
The staff, the service, and the friendly atmosphere were all excellent, as it has always been. This is our fifth visit to Wakatobi, and it will not be our last. We had six friends in our group who are first-timers, and they were all impressed with everything, especially the diving — it was beyond all their expectations. They all wish to come back, likely for a 2028 visit. Thank you to everyone once again for a wonderful holiday. Special call-out to our dive masters, who went beyond the call of duty. Also, our butler was superb — thank you for everything you did for us.
Wakatobi Improves With Each Visit
This is our third trip to Wakatobi, and though it takes us days to travel here, it feels wonderful each visit. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate each guest in kind ways — we so appreciate how you all address us by our names on the first day! It’s unique in the world of hospitality to find a place that improves with each visit — the new touches in the dining room decor, the hot face towels on the dive boat, and the helpful resort team made this another wonderful Wakatobi week. We brought guests with us who I know will also be back. Our dive guide was patient and noticed every detail of our rigs and what there was to see underwater, pacing the dives for maximum wow. We loved the power strip in our bungalow and the outdoor shower — divine!
Service is Extraordinary
Service is extraordinary — everyone so friendly and accommodating. Snorkeling was amazing — great coral and loads of fish. Great food options, with the ability to request things like extra vegetables — lots of choices.
Absolutely Amazing
Absolutely amazing experience all around. Will definitely be returning!
An Unforgettable, 5-Star Experience
The entire staff was great! They all went above and beyond our expectations. This was a 5-star experience, one we will never forget. Our dive guide was incredible! He was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and very friendly and approachable.
The Details are Wonderful
The diving, service, and accommodations were exceptional. Great job thinking of so many details for a wonderful experience.
I’ve Been to Many Dive Resorts; Wakatobi is The Best!
Wakatobi is the best dive resort I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to many! The entire staff, from top to bottom, is exceptional — extremely friendly, kind, and courteous! The restaurant staff are incredible, and the food was delicious! The diving is what brought me here — incredible coral reefs. The dive boats are spacious and comfortable, and all the extras on the boat mean so much: fresh towels, hot washcloths after each dive, and really good snacks. Not having to mess with your dive gear is a luxury! My dive master found me so many cool creatures to see and was so informative — an outstanding dive master! Everything was so well organized, from arriving in Bali until departure. Already thinking about my next trip back to Wakatobi!
The Best Dive Guides
Great job controlling mosquitoes. Our dive guide was the best — excellent communication before and after the dive, with wonderful knowledge of reef creatures and fish. She used a slate many times to show us fish and creatures, and executed the pre-dive plan well, helping less experienced divers who needed assistance. Best dive guide in many years of diving. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful — we felt special every day. Great pastries — we enjoyed something new every day. Overall, the food was very good in terms of selection.
Everything Exceeded Expectations
We had a relaxing, active stay. Everything, including lodging, dining, service, and surroundings, exceeded expectations.
The Ultimate Experience: Overwhelmed That Everyone Knows My Name
This has been the ultimate diving experience for me, both above and below the ocean. The diving staff are beyond praise, as they anticipate your every need. My dive guide is a treasure — his knowledge, kindness, and smile made everything so much more. The one-day replacement dive guide was just as wonderful. I am overwhelmed by the fact that everyone knows my name — what a personal touch that is. The room was great, with comfortable beds and a lovely, updated bathroom. I was able to sleep very well each night. The food had a great selection, the wait staff and cooks were so friendly, and the service was exemplary.
