| Comments | As always, Wakatobi's reefs are pristine and spectacular. You can just drift and feel like you are drinking in beauty. The staff is very helpful, the fact that the resort exists in an area this remote is amazing. But in contrast to our stay there 6 years ago, a few of the dive guides (not all) were edgier if not exactly rude. When we complained they switched the guide and we were delighted with the new one,but we heard from others that other divers had also complained about the same dive guides and they were still There. Also, while the resort advertises a maximum od 4 divers per group, we often had 5 and 6. And their A/C is still pretty inefficient, but it is remote place so it's amazing they have A/C at all. | ||
