You’ll have a great time, but don’t take our word for it…

“This was our first trip to Wakatobi. Even though it was unfortunately brief, it was very memorable in a fantastic way. I would like to reiterate many of the comments made by previous guests – the diving is great, the food selections and the accommodations super comfortable. I think what separates one dive resort from another is the service and Wakatobi has it down to a science. The Wakatobi employees are so gracious and go above and beyond to make sure that every detail is covered – always with a smile. This trip will be a great memory for both, my wife and myself. We can’t wait for a return visit!”

For me as a non-diver, it is the that people make my trip! This is my 3rd & my husband’s 4th trip to the resort. When I think of Wakatobi – I think of beautiful water and the people. We have already decided to come back October 2025. Also, I had a fantastic massage and took a fun and informative sarong class. Next time I would love to do the bird watching. This is one of my favorite places on earth and I’m already looking forward to returning!

“The new Turtle Beach Bungalows are elegant and spacious. As always, the people here are wonderful and that is what brings us back. Kudos to the chef and all the dining staff. I love the freshly caught fish – such a treat. Shout out to the Waka IX for excellence in diving and driving.”

“What a wonderful place! The staff makes it happen! The kitchen, dining, gardening, housekeeping, dive & others bring customer service to a level I’ve never seen before, and I live in a resort area in Colorado. We had the most knowledgeable, fun, dive master I’ve ever seen, and I have dove around the world. She is a true gem!”

“The food service is amazing and the and staff is excellent. Delicious and varied food choices, and always well-prepared. The back-of-house staff whom we did not see is clearly well trained and just as meticulous in their job as the staff we interacted with. Congratulations to all.”

“It was a perfect vacation below & above water. We will surely come back!”

“We would like to thank the entire Wakatobi family for their graciousness, constant help and smiling faces. We would in particular like to mention that our dive master, went above and beyond in service. He constantly pointed out critters, big and small, and his knowledge of the reefs, walls and sites was amazing. Plus, he makes a mean ginger tea & hot chocolate on the boat! He is definitely a wonderful addition to the Wakatobi staff.”

“We’ve been at Wakatobi for the second time and there will certainly be a third.”

“We very much enjoyed ourselves at this beautiful resort and I was delighted with all the “extras” the resort does for guests like knowing your name and creating some amazing folded towel art. Those small things make the vacation even more memorable.”

“Great service from an amazing team in the resort. Thank you for a lovely week.”

“Wakatobi is like no other resort we have been to. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Bali the service was been exceptional.”

“Our expectations were not only met, but they were also far exceeded!! The food was great (and I am a picky eater with specific dietary needs). The staff was amazing, and the snorkeling was world-class. The best reefs in the world and simply breathtaking!

“We intend to make Wakatobi our new Indonesian home away from home.”

“Wakatobi is where the great beauty of nature meets the better angels of human nature. This resort provides unique opportunities for local people to benefit from their land without horrific damage to such a unique marine world, and a chance for tourists to contribute to the preservation of oceanic flora and fauna. Such a balance and maybe even symbiosis between nature and human is exactly what makes Wakatobi different, inspiring and touching.”

“An unparalleled diving experience. Sites are spectacular and in pristine condition. We loved our dive master. He was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and professional. We felt very well always taken care of and safe. Everything is very well organized once you arrive at the airport, you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“We want to live here. Every single staff member is courteous and happy. We were always greeted by name from day one. Our room was spotless every day. The diving was superb – the freediving as well. The boat staff, so quick to help, carry, or fix anything and everything. The front desk staff always ready to make our stay top notch. We have nothing to complain about, except that it’s time to leave.

“Thank you so much to everyone for giving us another perfect trip!”
