Comments Main reason for coming here was to experience the total eclipse of the sun in March 2016 but we were very pleasantly surprised by the crystal clear water and abundant marine life in this remote corner of Central Sulawesi.

There is no other resorts or restaurants in the area so the package of accommodation, dives and breakfast and evening meals is necessary. The resort arranges airport pick up for the 1 hour drive to the resort. The quality of the food was excellent. Every evening well prepared and varied buffet.

Easy diving to local reefs: just walk in off the shore, take to skip to dive sites 10 minutes away or the bigger dive boat 1 hour to other deeper dive sites. Where ever you go there is plenty of marine life. Staff or professional and friendly.

My understanding is that the resort does not have AC. Were the fans sufficient to keep you cool at night?
