Arriving by boat to a beach front location always puts a huge smile on my face. Our transfer from the Airport was great and on time. Welcoming smiles greeted us as we waded through the crystal clear water to get our welcome drink and sign in etc. Our room was just perfect. A Four poster bed with surrounding net with... More

Its not the best place to stay and I wouldn't stay here again after exploring the island. Although it was better than I expected. The property has potential and the managers at the moment are doing a good job. The beach is cleaned every morning which is really good. The food is average. Beware of the staff in the kitchen....

Bastianos Bunaken is a great resort for divers of all levels. The current management is in the hands of Lutz and Yvonne a German couple that really knows how to please their customers. During the evening they are always in for a nice chat with many laughs…. The resort is basic but more than enough for a great diving holiday.... More

I spent a week here and LOVED it! The staff were all helpful and friendly and the chef went to tremendous effort to cater for a vegetarian. The meals were plentiful and tasty. The dive centre is very well organised - my gear was always exactly where it was supposed to be and I never needed to look for anything.... More

We absolutely loved Bastianos. We are budget travellers, and mainly interested in diving so we were willing to forgo some comforts, as other reviewers have mentioned. But to us, Bastianos was truly luxurious! Big attractive rooms, comfortable bed, strong fan, and an ocean view! The bathroom was large and a very cool design. The German couple who run the place...

The resort has standard facilities. We booked a room with airconditioning with beach view. Internet connection is available but very slow. The room was not so clean and yes, we found cockroach in the bathroom. The view is spectacular. The hotel staff were friendly but not helpful. The managers - a German couple - were not so friendly and busy... More

We booked Bastianos on a recommendation from friends, and because it looked like good value compared with other resorts in the area. We were not disappointed. The transfers went smoothly, staff were friendly, resort was comfortable enough for us, food was great and the diving was brilliant. The standard rooms are basic, with cold-water showers and fans - no A/C... More

i had an absolute blast diving with bastianos in jan 2011. after arriving in manado with nothing booked. i soon found myself on a bastianos boat bunaken bound, with not a clue as to what i would find. what a treat it turned out to be... as it was low season there were only a few guests so we each...

I stayed for 2 weeks in Bastianos Bunaken in March 2011. I was very happy with the dive stuff. They took care of nearly everything (drinks, fruits, towels, etc.). The diving was great. All dives are from a boat and the groups are small, the guides show you a lot. Usually you are always diving with the same guide, so... More
