My stay at The Village Bunaken was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the staff truly feel like one big, warm-hearted family – always kind, smiling, and ready to help with anything. The location is stunning, with amazing snorkelling spots right in front of the resort. I saw clown fish, sea turtles, and so much vibrant marine life just a short swim from the shore. It’s like having a private underwater paradise at your doorstep. One of the highlights of my trip was doing my first Discovery Diving Course. The dive staff were professional, calm, and extremely well-prepared, making it a safe, smooth, and exciting introduction to diving. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I also had the chance to go on an early morning dolphin tour, and it was absolutely magical. Watching dolphins in the wild was something I’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a place with genuine hospitality, incredible nature, and unforgettable underwater experiences, The Village Bunaken is the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough.

Villa Queen’s made our Bunaken trip extraordinary.

Villa Queen’s made our Bunaken trip extraordinary. Though we stayed in the Homestay, it felt like a four-star resort thanks to cozy memory foam beds, air conditioning, and a stylish bathroom. Power and internet never failed, which was impressive given the island’s frequent outages—Starlink made working online effortless. We loved having access to multiple pools, a gym, and special experiences like carving lessons. Excursions took us from dolphin tours to cultural sites, and the diving team helped both beginners and certified divers feel at ease in the water. The food blew us away—fresh, flavorful, and farm-to-table quality. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and authentic local flavor.

Our stay at Villa Queen’s in Bunaken was unforgettable.

Our stay at Villa Queen’s in Bunaken was unforgettable. Even in the Homestay section, the comfort felt luxurious, with memory foam beds, personal fans, air conditioning, and a well-designed bathroom. Despite frequent island-wide power outages, we always had electricity and fast Starlink internet—ideal for remote work. Guests enjoy access to three pools, a gym, and even unique activities like wood carving with the resident artist. We explored the region through guided tours, dolphin watching, and sunset cruises, while diving options ranged from PADI certifications to beginner-friendly pool sessions. The food, sourced from their own farm hotel, was simply outstanding. Villa Queen’s combines comfort, adventure, and world-class hospitality in one remarkable experience.

Well, a week is certainly enough to get your fill of Bunaken itself, but as soon as you take your eyes out of the water, it is clear that the area has much more to offer with dramatic volcanic mountains lining the Manado Bay. We visited the Tunan waterfall and spent a day in Tangkoko National park, but I wished we could have also explored the highland towns, the Soputan and Lokon volcanoes and Lembeh strait. It is pretty impressive to have so many different experiences within 50 km from Manado.

Bunaken is a lovely island and central port of call for the surrounding Marine Reserve. It has a lively small village and a range of accommodation options. We are not divers but we understood that the diving was fantastic. We do enjoy snorkeling and were able to be taken by boat to snorkel in several varied locations. A highlight was “turtle city”, where we saw at least a dozen turtles on the edge of the reef.

A beautiful island with an underwater world like nowhere else in the world. wherever you put your head under water, you will find a beautiful coral reef. A very safe island, as a woman I was not afraid to go anywhere alone. The local people are very polite. Great food at great prices rent motorbikes and see the whole island. on Bunaken are NO cars restaurants don't have a big menu, but everything is always fresh. diving here doesn't cost much, you should definitely try it (even without a license) snorkeling is amazing. there is no ATM here, but some restaurants will give you cash for 5%. when paying by card in a restaurant they charge 3% (but not everywhere you could pay by card). in general stores you could only pay in cash.

This island's coral life is amazing.

This island's coral life is amazing. The best point in north Sulawesi for scuba diving. The reef wall has wonderful biodiversity. Center of the southern part of the island is the best spot and easier to reach the coral wall. This is a protected marine park and they should consider to protect this area more seriosly.

The relaxing village vibe was really great as we bonded over snorkeling/diving activities and meals with other guests. Food was great too as they catered to our halal needs. Vivi our host was great at coordinating our activities and the entire crew gave top notch services and became our second family throughout our entire stay. Did the discover dive and Dylan, the instructor, was patient and gave good instructions. Made me feel safe as a first time diver.

Very convenient location, good dive guides and comfortable bed. Most importantly the food is absolutely amazing! The best we've had in any homestay in Indonesia. Always fresh, plentiful and delicious. They catered to our dietary preferences, too.

Wonderful food. Comfortable and rely relaxed. AC and wifi were good for the island, I'd say. There was no pressure to do anything. I will come back as the diving was very good.

The location with the hotel beach being a good snorkeling location by itself, on top of a great diving center and a very nice full board service as well as massages center
