We decided to take a little trip to this beautiful Island in May of 2012. My husband had dove here and stayed here about 10 years ago and wanted so badly to go back. So off we were on another adventure. When we arrived he said "wow this place looks different" :) This resort is TOP notch. It used to... More

The locations and dives were great but the Pelagian boat and the Wakatobi Resort we found to be pretentious and unpleasant. One of the worst experiences of my life! Overpriced! They charged $12 for a glass of wine, $3.50 for a soft drink. This is absurd when you pay such a premium for the trip to begin with. Management was... More

We spent a week at Wakatobi, after a week on their dive yacht (The Pelagian). The week on the Pelagian was great -- very nice stateroom, wonderful meals, good service and great diving. Unfortunately, Wakatobi's resort experience was not that great. Wakatobi's Bali office is very organized and has a great system for getting you through the airport and off... More

Wow, best way to describe our return trip to Wakatobi. We were there 5 years ago and could not wait to come back. We decided that we wanted to get married on the beach there and it could not have been better. We invited a group of friends to join us, two of them were with us on our first... More

My wife and I have snorkeled in various locations, including Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Thailand, and The Maldives (Biyadhoo), and we really enjoyed our time at these locations. Like so many of the others, we believe that our five night vacation at the Wakatobi Dive Resort was a totally different and superlative experience. On the day we arrived, four of us,... More

I joined several others who have been to and raved about the Resort and how wonderful it was. I did not go there expecting to see large creatures. I did expect outstanding service considering the additional costs of this trip. I arrived in Bali 10 days prior to everyone else and starting my "Dive Vacation" in Tulamben for a week.... More

Our stay here was the third of 5 stops in Indonesia in which our planning began with this week-long booking. In traveling that far around the world we decided to spend 6 nights in Bali before our 7 nights at Wakatobi and then another 6 nights back in Bali afterward. For reference, you may also see my reviews for Kupu... More

This was our fourth trip to Wakatobi, we love it. After years of travelling to the bet dive sites in the world and often experiencing poor conditions, we found Wakatobi. They have a perfect balance of luxury with outstanding diving. Everything has been considered - accommodation, food, service, items in the shop. It really spoils you for all the other... More

I must begin by telling you that choosing Wakatobi was not my decision. It was my husband’s and his best friend’s idea of a male bonding/diving vacation. The website’s accommodation photos certainly did not appeal to my aesthetics. Neither was the idea that I would be ‘marooned’ on a faraway island for six nites! To top it off, as much... More
