Just a quick one night stay before flying home. The stay was very accommodating with an early dinner order as we had an early morning flight. They also provided us with a breakfast to go and transport to Manado airport. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Thank you for a lovely one night stay.

The beach view was pleasant from our room. The beach was clean.

Excellent excellent food. The dive staff is 5 star. Never before have I been given a hot face towel after a dive!

Nice pool and ample space for relaxing.

Great place - no frills - laid back - good diving

We got food poisoning from the restaurant one night but that was probably a one off and very short lived. Else the food is better than last year and the diving continues to be good - this is really a no-frills place but so relaxing and laid back I would go back again. Service is great and staff are very warm and helpful. Diving is fantastic but again, no-frills. Don't expect luxury. Power goes out regularly so a good way to just disconnect.

Comfortable oasis

Stayed for 3 nights as first arrival point at Manado airport. Good pickup service. Stayed in Waters Edge Room. Plenty of space and comfortable. Good shower. Strong WiFi. Breakfast was fine as were other meals. Did 3 dives at Bunaken. Satisfactory dive centre with no issues. (I used my own equipment). Would recommend and return myself.

Comfortable stay, excellent service

The pictures in the website was underrated, the hotel room is much better than I expect it to be. Accommodation rate is reasonable, however the diving is very expensive compared to other dive centre. Great service, nothing to complain about. Breakfast and juices was good, but the rest of the ala carte food on the menu was pretty bad.

Expensive

Unfortuneatly there was a party going on the night we arrived. As we had to catch a flight early next day we managed to move rooms away from the action. Otherwise this was an overpriced resort in a less than desirable area.

Reasonable and convenient for divers

Good service overall. The room was well equipped and OK. It would have been better with slippers for the use inside room. Toilets were very clean and nice.

A great boutique hotel and diving centre.

Hotel staff, diving team, restaurant staff and the drivers were excellent. The location is beautiful. Would strongly recommend the highland tour. Even a walk through the villages along the coast was relaxing and afforded us contact with local residents and views of the local scenery.

We stayed during the low (rainy) season and the diving was excellent. I'm sure it's even better during the high season.

Great diving and good service

I stayed for 3 nights at Cocotinos around Xmas 2010. The room was clean and spacious (was at Water's Edge) with king-sized bed. The mattress was ok although dont expect simmons-equivalent quality. but i guess it would be acceptable for most divers. The service from all staff was great, they will call during meal time to invite you to the restaurant. the staff at the restaurant was also very attentive, always on their toes to attend to guests. The dive center provide good service too, they picked up the gears from my room, prepared them for the dive trip and the gears were already on the boat in the morning. And by end of trip, they will wash the gears and bring to the room for me to pack. overall it was a nice short trip, i'd be happy to come back. btw the room doesn't have TV, as the usual case in other boutique dive resorts i stayed before. would be nice to have a TV set (+DVD player) in the room though :)

Nice boutique resort with no beach though!

Cocotinons boutique beach resort is a nice place to dive, enjoy nice food and great hospitalitiy but there is no beach at this resort. Thanks to the fun loving staff, I had a relaxed trip with great dives. Though I hope the resort can offer other recreation activities for non divers!

ダイビングで滞在するのに便利

空港から30分と近いので、ショッピングや観光に興味がない人にはお勧めです。田舎の住宅街の不便な立地です。ダイビング以外はぼーっとしたかったので個人的には気に入りました。
メナド市街まではタクシーで30分程度。70000Rpくらいです。（スーパーや食事の外出時）ドライバーが遠くにいると呼んでも1時間くらいかかることもあるので、余裕があったほうがいいかもしれません。女性の一人旅だったので、帰りに困った時ように、ホテルスタッフが連絡先を教えてくれました。
（タクシーに乗れるかとか、心配したからかもしれませんが）
私は深夜に到着したので、片道US$25で往復送迎を予約しました。到着した夜、ホテルのスタッフがコンビニでの買い物を提案してくれたので、飲み物などをを買っておいて大正解でした。
ダイビングは30分程度でポイントに到着します。今の時期透明度はあまりよくないですが、景観はポイントによって変わるしと生物はいろいろ見られます。
最後に他の方も書いてましたが、モスクから大音量が早朝から始まるのでそこは覚悟したほうがいいです。
