Sulawesi diving resort, Indonesia, independent reviews

Back to main holiday page
Reviewed 19 Sep 2007 by Kevin Green

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Climbing active volcano, Agung Batur, Bali with distance vistas above the clouds. Early morning walk before breakfast along the Champhuan ridge, Ubud Scuba diving in the Wakatobi marine park. The jetty bar with new friends at Wakatobi beach resort at sunset.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Pay the extra and upgrade to the more private/secluded premium select bungalows north (sunset side) of the jetty and at the waters edge - south side windy, less private and set back from the beach. Ubud, Bali/ Wakatobi - great combination. Wished we had done Singapore on the way back.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, it certainly put money into local pockets but concerned that a western style culture could slowly be imported to the village that would negatively affect the people and their environment.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


8 out of 10. Diving lacked the big stuff. How about a BBQ on the beach at dinner once in a while or lunch on a deserted beach - needed a bit more variety to the general routine of dive-restaurant-dive-restaurant. Oh yes, and I got food poisoning!
