Lekker Gezellig

I highly recommend this place if you like to dive around Bunaken and Silanden island and choose to stay on the mainland.SERVICEI spend 5 days at Lekker Gezellig resort and felt like part of the family right from the beginning. Everyone was super friendly and treated me really nice the whole time.For example: Even the request of washing many of my clothes has been organzied & executed within one day.ROOMSRooms are super comfy and have everything that you need. They are cleaned every day and you always get new towels if you want them (if you decide for the environment to stick with the used ones, that’s also fine). If you need anything in addition you can just ask for it and Inka and Grace will make it happen for you.FOODYou are served 3 meals daily and everything is freshly prepared - so if you have any allergies or don’t like something you can just tell the chef Mas.For breakfast there is coffee, juice, toast, kaya, jam and any kind of freshly prepared eggs.For lunch and dinner the chef creates super yummy and different dishes every time.If you go for two dives in the morning, you will have lunch at Bunaken island which is a highlight as well 🫶DIVINGBunaken is one of the nicest place I have ever been to. To give a reference I already dove in Raja Ampat, Indonesia and Sipandan, Borneo.I think I never dove with so many turtles before - like 6-8 in one view. Luckly, I have also seen three eagles rays and some sharks during my 6 dives around Bunaken (which is quite rare).However, honestly just for the amazing coral walls I would jump in again 🩵Yanex, the resort‘s dive instructor, is highly professional and every experienced. I felt safe with him the whole time.The boat crew is amazing - you just have to carry your personal belongings. Everything else is cared for (tank, BCD, weight, fins, etc.)LOCATIONLekker Gezellig is for relaxing. There is not really much around the resort. It is located about 30min North of Manado City just next to the mangrove forest. The bamboo jetty is build through the mangrove and an unique experience itself.There are not many shops or anything around if you are keen about shopping. But the staff will be happy to assist you to order a taxi to Manado if you wish for it.Indeed, I didn‘t feel like moving around so it was perfect for me.Terima Kasih (Thank you) to everyone who made my stay so nice 😍♥️🫶
