四王羣島潛水旅館(Raja Ampat Dive Lodge)

12 days in Raja Ampat Islands was as close to paradise as you can get. We stayed at the Raja Ampat Dive Lodge which is trying to give the experience of resort life. The resort lacks some amenities but makes up for it with lovely and friendly people. Unfortunately, it is not a distinction for fellow divers and has very few guests. We had the resort all to ourselves, but this is where it lacks its otherwise island charm. It’s in-between budget and high-end and can’t find its place. It calls itself a dive lodge but lacks qualified staff and instructors and has very limited gear. The facilities are starting to get old and very used and should probably cater more to budget travelling. I cannot recommend that you do your diving license here because all theories have moved to the Internet and there is not a stable or fast Internet so you can take your exam. My son was through it and could not finish the open-water certificate. For a closing remark don't let the season scar you we were in Raja Ampat in June and July all days with a mirror-like ocean and visibility underwater up to 50 meters and can not recommend this part of Indonesia enough. Please visit this unique place and enjoy this and is fantastic people.

Nous avons séjourné 10 nuits dans ce resort avant de séjourner dans un autre ce qui me permet de faire un commentaire objectif. Nous avions la chambre 101 à l'extrémité du ressort ce qui était parfait. La chambre est vaste avec un coin salon et une belle terrasse.La salle de bains est par contre un peu datée.Nous avons apprécié d'avoir la climatisation. Les repas étaient sous forme de buffet avec suffisamment de choix.Nous avons pu prendre nos repas sur la terrasse. Le personnel est très sympathique et efficace. Arbustes avec ou sans fleurs entre les maisons,nombreux transats à disposition. Nous avons fait plusieurs sorties avec un kayak,y compris jusqu'au village voisin. Seul point à améliorer,l'organisation des sorties en bateau pour les snorkelers pas toujours évidentes à mettre en place. Nous pourrions sûrement revenir.

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour dans cet hôtel où le personnel est très serviable. Notre chambre à l'extrémité du ressort était parfaitement située.Grande chambre,belle terrasse ,par contre la salle de bains est un peu datée.Des fleurs et des plantations entre les maisons.Repas sous forme de buffet plutot varié et tables en terrasse. Nous avons souvent utilisé les kayaks qui permettent de rejoindre d'autres sites de snorkeling autour de l'hôtel. Seul point à améliorer l'organisation des sorties en bateau pour les snorkelers.

It is very difficult to get to islands in Raja Ampat area. Raja Ampat Dive Lodge made it smooth to me ... sending people to pick me up in Sorong, sending to ferry, in Waisai sending to speedy boat till I got to the place I also dreamed of seeing those scattered tiny little islands called Wayag .. although min 4pax, Lodge manager - Pak Tony managed to find a small boat for me, solo Place is very comfortable, food great without losing the feeling of being in a very remote area of the world. Pak Tony and his team treat you very well ... recommended !!!

Wir waren zum übernachten leider nicht in der Raja Ampat Dive Lodge. Da unser Homestay leider weder tauchen noch sonstige Ausflüge organisierte, fragten wir mal bei der RADL nach! Alle Angestellten, vom Tauchlehrer bis zum Manager behandelten uns wie ihre eigenen Gäste. Wir konnten mit ihnen tauchen, sie organisierten einen Tage***** zum Piaynemo und schenkten uns hin und wieder Kokosnüsse. Kann es jedem empfehlen hier zu buchen! Bei unserem Aufenthalt hatten sie sogar ein Kuskus in der Anlage.

Peaceful, nature-touch and eco friendly resort in the mid of world diving destination Raja Ampat, Indonesia. There is jetty dive spot where you can do snorkeling, see many species of fish, especially “Walking shark”!!. After diving or snorkeling, you can relax at the outdoor beach bar or local spa.

Dans un écrin de verdure, au bord des eaux turquoises, ce resort dispose de bungalows parfaitement aménagés et très confortables. La cuisine est délicieuse avec des mets indonésiens raffinés. Le service est irréprochable avec du personnel très souriant. Les plongées à Raja Ampat sont extraordinaires et le centre de plongée est très professionnel. En snorkeling, c’est également très beau. Nous avons passé un séjour en famille idyllique dans ce petit coin de paradis. Nous vous recommandons chaleureusement cet établissement.

We went to dive with Raja Ampat Dive Lodge in March 2020. We did 6 days of diving (12 dives) with them. Raja Ampat has some of the best dive sites in the world and it's important to dive with someone who knows which dive sites are best to dive in at the given time and tides. All the dives was really professionally done, and our group managed to get great images diving in sites such as Sawandarek, Otdima, Cape Kri, Manta Ridge, Melissa Garden and other amazing sites. Our guide Ramli, Elfrid and Vivi was great and really organised in making sure all the safety are met and that our group would get the best out of our dives... Our experience with RADL was amazing and we cant wait to go back one day

I loved the holiday we have just had at Raja Ampat Dive Lodge. I went with 2 diving pals as a celebration of our 60th birthdays which happened in lockdown. We were so well looked after. Tony and the team ensured we had everything we needed - delicious food, cold drinks and a heavenly place to stay. We were thoroughly spoiled by all the dining room staff who were very happy to celebrate both my birthday and my 300th dive - the cakes were amazing!!! The buffet was varied every day - some more traditional Indonesian dishes with some less spicy stuff for my feeble English palate! It wasn't gourmet food, but there was a good choice and it was well presented. I was not ill at all while at the resort, while we all felt unwell after a meal out in Sorong on the way home. The staff are all so friendly and very helpful - they dont all speak English but they understand hello and all say good morning! The Wi-Fi was a little hit and miss - you had to get a code from reception each day but it didn't always work - I wouldn't rely on it for work, but it was absolutely fine for contacting home. My room in a beachfront bungalow - the opposite end of the resort to the dive centre so it was very peaceful - overlooked the beach and was absolutely beautiful. The shower room was clean and fresh, the mosquito net was handy too! The air conditioning worked really well, all the power sockets were very handy - take European adaptors. The little terrace was perfect to sit out and write up your dive log, sipping a cold drink and listening to the waves and the birds! The bar was delightful, out on the water - what a fantastic place to see the sunset! We had a couple of the delicious cocktails. It was a fun place to meet the other guests and compare notes! We had 2 massages in the spa - they were sooo relaxing I fell asleep - although that may have been jet-lag. All the resort was kept pristine, even after the storm we had one night! Truly a tropical paradise! We swam/snorkelled both off the beach(wear beach shoes!), which is very shallow at low tide, and off the jetty. We saw lots under the jetty including lionfish!! Be aware of current in the deeper water! The diving was out of this world! Considering a large number of my dives have been in a drysuit in the UK, being able to dive in a rash vest and shorts was very liberating. The boat we were assigned to - Bubara, was expertly handled by Lexi and crewman Hassan, who were so kind and knew exactly what help we needed. I loved entering the water backwards off the side of the boat - it's great fun!! Dive leaders Wayan and Dedy made sure that we saw the fantastic Manta Rays, as well as Wobbegongs, black-tipped reef sharks, sweetlips and so many other creatures I didn't know existed-such as the perfectly named flamboyant cuttlefish!! Dedy in particular was expert in finding the small stuff like the pygmy seahorse! Every dive showed us amazing fish, incredible reefs and the organisms which live there - I took so many p
