10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for a 2 day layover before a pick up by our live aboard and found the resort and staff to be a wonderful introduction to Raja Ampat. The service is impeccable, the on-site restaurant/bar delicious, and we took full advantage of their free boat ride to a beautiful nearby private island (they’ll drop you off and pick you up) both days for snorkeling. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. "
