The resort is very nice. It is spread out, all the rooms are located along the beach. It is definitely much more of a coastal resort compared to others I have stayed out in the area. The pool is beautiful and so refreshing! The food was good, not as much of variety as I would have expected from a high-end... More

We stayed here with 4 kids for snorkeling and it worked like a charm. Travelling from Singapore is relatively easy and the resort is small and cosy. Very friendly staff and although focus is on couple and diving it worked fine as a family as well. Food and beverage is good and the beach area + pool beautiful. The best... More

The owners of this fine resort have exercised great care in construction of the premises and selection of fittings, fixtures and furniture. The staff are also well trained, friendly and helpful. The resort is relatively expensive, more than AUD$300/night inclusive of all meals which are a la carte with the exception of a buffet breakfast. The resort is primarily for... More

There are many wonderful things about this resort - dive program, rooms, pool, spa, grounds, but I have to say the best of all was the service, which was just incredible. We were celebrating our 15-year anniversary and they arranged a special dinner on the beach for just the two of us complete with live music and prepared a special... More

Once in a while you come across a resort that delivers on all counts and when that happens you experience the unforgettable joy of a perfect holiday. The Gangga Island Resort is one such place. We were there primarily for scuba diving, which was very good. The dive crew are experienced and outstanding. Safety, briefing, instructions, facilities everything is top... More

The location, service, food and diving are great! The food, both Indonesian and European fare, are of very high standard and we had difficulties deciding what to eat! The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Everything was working which is a miracle considering that the resort is on a relatively small island. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The... More

Wow, wow and wow, respectively the staff, the resort and the diving. I work in the diving and hospitality business, we have our own accommodation and dive base, and Gangaa has shown me that we have so much more work to do.

This is a true four star resort on a tiny island in the middle of some great diving. You have numerous dive sites within 10 minutes of the resort and can also get to Banaken and Lembeh with a 60 minute boat ride. The Diving is superb. The food, service, beach, accomidations and staff were all great. Would return again.

Beautiful resort, spacious, nice bungalows, excellent food, staff is knowledgable and helpful, beach is fabulous. Diving is great with helpful guides, boats are comfortable, dives are relatively shallow. Nice air-conditioned room to keep camera equipment in between dives, personal dive gear is well maintained by staff during visit. Great place to see many small marine creatures.
