Raja Ampat Dive Resort

Wonderful staff, Beautiful Location and good food.

We stayed at this magical accommodation for several days. It's only about a 30-minute drive from Waisai, making it very easy to reach (the resort can also help you). The service was indescribably good; every of our wishes was catered for, we had wonderful food (full board), and excursions, including packed lunchboxes, were planned for us. A very special thank goes to Yassiel; she did such a great job, was so friendly, always had good suggestions and actually helped us with everything from excursions over equipment to sunburn help :D! The snorkeling excursion team was also so lovely and calm! The houses are excellently equipped with Western-style toilets, air conditioning, and hot showers. Everything is very clean, and we were offered room service every day. The resort is very secluded and quiet, located right on the beach among the palm trees, and you feel like you're staying in paradise, not a tourist resort. There are also beautiful reefs for snorkeling and two jetties into the water right outside the doorstep. We would love to come back anytime!

From the moment we began planning our trip, Augus, the owner, was incredibly helpful and transparent regarding pricing and local recommendations. Upon arrival, Yasil made us feel right at home; her attention to detail in managing our itinerary and addressing our questions was exceptional. The entire boat crew was friendly and proactive, but a massive shoutout goes to Benny. Not only is he a skilled captain and a brilliant photographer—capturing truly cinematic shots—but he also went above and beyond when my wife’s ring became deformed and stuck on her finger. Captain, photographer, and emergency "medic"—Benny truly does it all with a genuine, fun spirit. We also want to thank the chef for the incredible hospitality, especially for the custom vegetarian pizza prepared for our special dinner on the pier.

Better Wifi connectivity at our room, although the rest of the resort has pretty strong and good WiFi.

The location is beautiful, and the staff were kind and welcoming.

We had four consecutive reservations and stayed 12 nights in total at this all-inclusive resort. Unfortunately, on day 10, I became very ill with symptoms consistent with food poisoning, which lasted about 6 days and affected the remainder of my trip. As all food and drinking water were provided by the resort, this was particularly concerning. I did not report it to staff at the time, so I cannot comment on how it would have been handled. Regarding scuba diving, there was no functioning Nitrox analyzer available, meaning tank mixes could not be properly verified. When I checked a tank myself, I repeatedly obtained inconsistent readings (28%, 32%, and 34% O₂ on the same tank), which is not acceptable from a safety perspective. In addition, most guides did not appear to have strong familiarity with the local dive sites or currents.
