Beautiful place with esthetic wooden bungalows and a dedicated staff. We stayed for 16 (!) days. It was the rainy season, for some days we were the only guests. Nonetheless we got pampered all around: It is her birthday coming up, could we have a cake at night but without milk? - Tadaa, next evening, here it is. Mention some hot soup would be nice on a rainy day? Same day you have it for lunch, together with the recipe and the next day a different soup comes up again because the weather still is "cold" with only 26°C air temperature.
And because we are interested in food, we were invited to the kitchen and shown how to prepare those traditional dishes we liked.
Amadeo, the owner is from Napoli. He runs a dedicated pizza oven. When they found out we liked Moka style coffee, they opened a pack of the true Caffe Napoletano for us. You can't buy that nowhere around in Sulawesi.
Amadeo is also a dedicated dive instructor. He gave us a special bouyancy course tailored to our needs, which improved our diving experience. In general, diving was made easy on a very personal level. Sometimes we were just one scuba diving guest but the other got total support for freediving as well. Indonesians like to laugh and the whole boat crew made us feel easy to join into their fun. Dive spots in Bunaken are mostly dramatic walls, the coral are impressive and intact, plenty of marine life! After some time you dont even turn your head for another turtle because there are so many. A downside was, that we sometimes faced loads of plastic trash, wood chunks and coconuts floating in stripes of garbage along with the current. Could occur in any spot, came and went.The resort itself reacted to it as it does not offer botteled water, but has dispensers and glasses wherever you need, but it is evident, that the problem is of a bigger scale. - via
