Value for money homestay perfect for divers. Located just outside the centre of Waisai, with a rental scooter you can quickly reach your chosen dive centre and local restaurants etc. Wawan the owner is efficient and friendly, so if you don’t ride a bike, he will sort your transportation for a good price. Breakfast is fine (omelette, toast, fruit), served by Cino who cleans the rooms etc, and is usually on hand to deal with any problems you might have.

The rooms are big, but very outdated. Showering is rather difficult because there is no showerhead and bucket bathing is not easy either because there is nothing to scoop the water from. It's okay for one night, but if you are looking for sth a bit more comfortable after having spent some time in bungalows, I wouldn't recommend this place. The staff is really friendly and helpful though!

The food is the best I had in Raja Ampat. The service is truly one of a kind. The Manager went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met including taking me into Wasai to pick up medication. The large Jetty out front is perfect for snorkelling and you can even spot stingrays, sharks, cuttlefish, etc from standing above. If and when I return to Raja Ampat, I will absolutely stay here.

Fellow travelers, this is an absolute bargain, trust me! Pedro is as nice as a host can be, always paying attention to the details so that we had the best experience we could. The accommodation, although not in the centre of Waisai, is not far and the porch has outstanding views of the bay. Moreover, the bed is comfortable and big, the bathroom is well equipped and the AC brings a luxurious touch compared to some of the other guest houses. In terms of the food, they serve both breakfast and dinner included in the price and they're both varied and delicious. If you want to have a beer watching the sunset, you can also buy them directly from Pedro. Finally, he rents motorbikes and happens to know all the necessary people to make the experience of Waisai truly complete. To sum up, this place exceeded our expectations and we feel that it will be much busier once more reviews will pop up, as he only opened it in August 2025.

Pedro is amazing. He met me at the ferry terminal and took me to his guest house. The room was spacious with ensuite bathroom and Aircon which was incredible for the price. It was very clean, had a wonderful communal area with a library, tea, coffee and water station, and deck with a fantastic view back to town. Breakfast and dinner were included which was an added bonus. Pedro helped organise transport to the blue river which was very convenient and well priced and was very helpful with information about the area. And he even dropped me to the ferry when I left! Incredible service. Everything was amazing for a quick stopover in Waisai. I would definitely stay again. Thanks Pedro!

If you come and stay at Sandy Guest House, it would be to experience a human encounter. The owner is kind, joyful and attentive. She treats you like a person/friend/guest. If you have any request, she is resourceful, with contacts and keeps your best interest at heart. She is a very good diver and gave me my first snorkeling lesson, which was fantastic. The property is of Indonesian standard, has air con and wifi. You will also find a set of free toiletries. I have to insist on the owner being a treasure. Even after I left, the boat to Sorong had a technical problem, had to go back to Waisai to change ships, she managed to get my boarding pass printed and available at Sorong's airport for easy pickup without delay. Got well in time to departure lounge, in the end the flight got also delayed 🙃. Lots of love to the owner, unforgettable and memorable moments spent at Sandy Guest House 💖.

Coriana Dive Resort

Waisai (Near Pulau Saonek-kecil)

Featuring a garden and free WiFi, Coriana Dive Resort is set in Waisai. There is a restaurant serving Indonesian cuisine, and free private parking is available.

Coriana was a great resort. The over water bungalow was beautiful and was very comfortable with A/C (that actually works), hot water and Wi-Fi. The staff were great particularly Nona in the restaurant and the young man at the front desk (unfortunately we didn’t catch his name). The food was delicious and plentiful. We were initially hesitant to book based on some of the reviews here that spoke about loud karaoke. While there is a resort right next to Coriana, during our stay the place was perfectly peaceful and tranquil, so much so we extended our stay. Also the lights at the end of the resort onto the water allow hours of entertainment to watch the fish at night on the house reef.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Raflow Resort for 5 nights and we’ve had a lovely time! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The staff will go the extra mile to make sure you have a fabulous and memorable stay in paradise. If you let them know what activities you would like to do, they will organize it for you. The food is phenomenal; everyday there is a selection of fresh fish, chicken, rice, various vegetables and fresh fruit. The rooms are clean and comfortable (soft bed, hot shower, spacious) and the AC is a real plus, we didn’t encounter any mosquitos. Overall a great place to stay a couple nights to explore Waigeo!
