Stayed here for a week. It is the best place on the island, we think. And I talked to a guy who had been on bunaken 5 times. It is a bit more expensive than the rest, but it is worth it. The bungalows are nice, as well as the pool area. The food is good, and they serve cake... More

We had a great time staying at the village. The bungalow with veranda was nice. We had a beach view bungalow, but actually there is not really a beach. With high tide, the water is just 3/4 meters from your room. Although we are not divers, we really enjoyed the snorkeling. The reef in front of the resort is already... More

I just got back from a weeks diving in Bunaken and had an amazing time. The resort is small so you get a chance to meet and talk with your fellow travelers. The owners are friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I appreciated that they ate dinner with the guests which gave it more of a family feel. Resort... More

It's a great place, and the Trip Advisor Traveler awards 2012 and 2013 are well deserved. Don't expect 5-star international comfort, but a very friendly and clean resort with 8 bungalows, each with their private verandas with hammocks! Rooms are fan cooled (aircon available at an extra charge).  We stayed for about a week with our 7-month old baby and... More

Bunaken Island is 30 minutes from Manado. NO SANDY BEACH on the island as many hotels advertise. It's a wonderful place for snorkeling and diving but no other activities rather than those ones. Bunaken Village is a wonderful place for spending a few days alone with friends or family. The cottages are big.and clean. Food is very good and fresh.... More

This is a paradise for a diving family! Everything was very nice designed giving a cosy relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in a family bungalow, which was very nice. The whole resort had free wifi that worked very well, even inside your bungalow. The food was delicious, well cooked and plenty. There were always two choices of courses. Everybody working at...

We stayed for 5 days over New Year's. The bungalows are beautiful and well maintained. Clean with nice design set in a beautiful garden. The atmosphere is relaxed and staff very friendly. Food was good with considerable variety. For the new years we had a fantastic barbecue and celebrated with fireworks which was great fun. We had a very good... More

We (family of five) stayed eight days and had a great relaxing Xmas and New Year at Bunaken Village. Our teenagers took diving courses and had very good and dedicated dive masters; they left with diving certificates and sold on diving. We really appreciated the friendly and engaged staff, Angelina and Jochen have created a fine athmosphere and make all... More

It was not one year since we left this wonderful place, now we are back again. Please see that review. We were at least as happy with The Village Bunaken this time. The room is very good, the lunch and dinner buffet event better than last time. The breakfast however was not as good as last time. It is still... More
