My wife and I stayed at Ankermi in december 2012. Our intention was to stay only a couple of days before travelling on to the Alor Islands but we ended up staying 10 days. Only 5 nice, clean and certainly not expensive bungalows on the (rocky) shore, no frills, but good beds with nets and pleasant attached outdoor shower ,... More

The rooms are modest but with a lot of character. It's right on the water and has gorgeous sunsets, delicious food, and nice staff. You need at least 3 days. We only had 2 days and I wasn't able to dive because we arrived later in the day and were not able to arrange for a dive in the morning.... More

I enjoyed staying in one of the coastal facing bungalows (I wouldnt say beach front, as there were rocks in front of the resort rather than beach.) You can walk along the rickety small jetty to go swimming from there, with lovely views. The bungalows were approx 240,000 rupiah a night including a basic breakfast, which by local Indonesian standards... More

This was a return visit five years after I first spent a weekend at Ankermi. I loved it then and it’s even better now. I echo the praise expressed by other reviewers. The (very few) criticisms don’t chime with me. Let’s leave it at that. Just an update on some of the guidebooks. All-in afternoon tea is a thing of... More

If you're looking for a place to enjoy your life than you will find it at Ankermi. You will stay there in a lovely cottage (there is a second floor in it and believe me, to lay down there, it's a wonderful place to relax). The cottages are surrounded from a beautiful garden with ponds and other jewels (the flying... More

The place is pure magic and a perfect spot to leave one's travel cares behind for a while. we stayed for 8 days; reading books, taking jaw dropping snorkling trips, riding the motorbike to maumere and having long and inspiring conversations with kermi (the...

We spent a couple of days in Ankermi Happy Dive Resort during our world trip and we immediately felt like home! The owners Kermi and Claudia created a lovely, cozy place in a very friendly atmosphere. The cottages (most of them with sea view) are very charming and the restaurant serves excellent food. The staff is friendly and attentive. Specially... More

I have been coming and going to (the old and new) Ankermi since 2005, and it keeps feeling like coming home. The old Ankermi was a magic place with little more than bamboo huts on the beach where Kermi and Claudia welcomed you as their family. The new Ankermi still has the same atmosphere and hospitality; only the bungalows and... More
