  Cocotinos Manado Resort: An exceptional diving resort that gave us unforgettable memories! Odyssey Divers: The dive shop experience was the absolute highlight of our trip. Our dive master, Aba Mizard, was incredibly attentive and tailored the dive sites to our personal preferences. He went above and beyond to show us the most fascinating marine life. Despite the strong and unpredictable currents, Aba’s professionalism and care made us feel completely safe and relaxed throughout. The night dive he led was truly unforgettable. The overall service at the dive shop was excellent and flawless. The staff handled all our gear before and after every dive, and we were always pampered with hot and cold towels, tea, coffee, water, fresh fruit, and a delicious lunch. Doing three morning dives before heading back was the perfect schedule. The ultimate luxury was the departure service provided by Ronny: he made sure our diving equipment and clothes were completely dry before we boarded our flight,

  This is a small resort set within an authentic fishing village. The resort has a very tranquil atmosphere and beautifully furnished rooms.|It is worth the upgrade to a sea front room. The food is very fresh and cooked to order. The menu offers a large selection, including Western food. There is also Bintang Beer and alcoholic cocktails, and prices are about the same as any resort in Sulawesi. The snorkelling trip is highly recommended. The village is a great place to wander and chat to very friendly people.

  It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed somewhere that felt this warm and welcoming. The resort itself is great, but it’s the people who truly make the experience special. The Odyssea team—from the boat captain and crew to the dive guides—was fantastic: patient, attentive, and perfect for a beginner like me. Their strong emphasis on safety really stood out and made me feel well taken care of throughout the dives. Beyond diving, everything else was just as thoughtfully done. The massage was excellent, and the food came in generous, comforting portions that felt like a home-cooked meal. The hospitality team was consistently kind and attentive, making the whole stay feel personal and relaxed. The resort is tucked within a local village, and you won’t find a fancy white-sand beach here. But it’s just a stone’s throw from many dive sites, making it an incredibly convenient and welcoming base—especially if you’re diving around the area or Bunaken.
