3 days in paradise, with a wonderful team who took great care of us, both on the dive boat and during our stay at the hotel.We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the price includes all meals which are of good quality and varied.As we had not booked before coming, we had to change rooms every day, which allowed us to discover several standards of comfort, all 100% perfect.As for the diving teams, there is still great professionalism and a very precise sense of service: new equipment, equipment always ready, and a person dedicated to on-board service: drinks, food... very pleasant.All the hotel teams are attentive, very helpful and always smiling. Adaptations for vegetarians available, just ask.Everything is very clean, very well organized and the price is very affordable. Excellent value for money.We highly recommend for a perfect 100 diving stay.

Overall experience is superb. The diving are perfect, room are clean, service are good, food not bad etc.Only one thing I am not happy and not comfortable is the dogs inside dining areas. Not all can accept dogs in dining areas, Sometimes the staffs also helps to control that, but yet some others guests keep open the gates and allowing dog to come in and feed them.Come back?? Yes i do but just keeps to control the dog in dining areas. The rest are fine.

We loved our stay at 3WILL Bunaken. The staff were amazing and very helpful. We did our open water dive course and it was so well done- our instructor Jordi was fantastic. The area is so beautiful- the water and reef is sensational. If you are planning a dive trip or wanting to learn to dive, come here!

I describe this resort with one word: authenticity.Here you can immediately breathe the air of Indonesia and its people, always ready to take everything in with a smile and to infect you with their serenity.The resort is very oriented towards diving, which is the main activity you can do here. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Of all the places we have been to in Indonesia, it is definitely the one that allows you to have contact with their typical cuisine.The quality-price ratio is unbeatable.

Good place to stay if you want to go diving or snorkeling. The resort consists of individual small cabins with bathrooms. There is food in the main house. There is a small buffet, which I think could be a little more varied. In terms of the size of the selection and the variety of dishes.We went on a snorkeling trip with the divers. The underwater world is very amazing.While we were snorkeling, the boat was suddenly very far away from us. If there had been an emergency, the boat would not have gotten to us fast enough. We also waved, but it was only after 5 minutes that another boat noticed us, which alerted the 3Will crew.I found this very irresponsible and dangerous. I think this urgently needs to be improved.Overall, all the staff were very nice and tried hard to provide good accommodation.

Amazing! This is one of the best dive resorts I have ever been to!My girlfriend did her Open Water Diver course here and I did my Rescue Diver certification.From the first contact until the very last moment, everything was perfect.The dive instructors Connor and Jordi did an awesome job, they are great teachers and great divers!And Mhey from the office is always helpful, no matter what you need!11/10 experience, I would recommend 3WILL to everybody!

We were lucky enough to share 4 days of diving at this wonderful resort. After more than 10 years diving, there are still places that surprise you and leave their mark.The resort is very good. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The food is varied, we never repeat any dish. They have very well thought out common areas, such as the mini gym with billiards and the pingpong table.The diving center itself works perfectly. Very important, they have super small groups (2-3 people) and they have very experienced and very good guides. It's the first time we've seen people this good looking for (and finding) macro life on a coral wall. And well, it is no coincidence that Bunaken is so well known, the diving in general is very good.Finally, I would like to highlight the good vibes that exist in the resort. The entire staff has a perennial smile and laughter is constantly heard. And a couple of times a week they prepare a mini concert themselves.We have left very grateful and sorry for not having dedicated more days to them.Terima kasih!!

Everything was close to perfect, a hot or at least lukewarm shower in the bungalow we rented would have helped the experience after night diving. Also to note that sheets and towels hadn’t been changed during the 7 nights of our stay. Not a problem but something to know.Personnel is lovely, food buffet has limited choices but always tasty.Lots of dogs, which we love, but be ready to be woken up sometimes in the middle of the night if they start barking. And bring or buy mosquito repellent as they are feral.Overall a place to recommend, also for the diving and the infinite number of sea turtles we saw

Absolutely a great place for diving, snorkeling and to relax. We stayed longer than planned, thanks to Mai who made this possible.Thanks to Connor for being a great instructor for the AOD for our kids and Jo and all the other divemasters and crew for guiding the fun dives. The dive sites and marine life with so many turtles were fantastic.We also enjoyed the music nights a lot.We will come back!

Diving Paradise, Hotel DisappointsDiving: Absolutely fantastic! The dive masters were knowledgeable and ensured small group sizes, allowing for a personalized experience. We spotted marine life, both small and large. The dive sites were stunning, and the equipment (except for the masks, bring your own) was top-notch. The boat was comfortable with towels, food, and drinks.Hotel: Unfortunately, the hotel was a disappointment: noise from construction in the afternoon, humid bathroom with a persistent toilet smell, salty water in the bathroom, no wifi in the room half of the time and weak (with security warning) otherwise. Basic amenities like a glass for toothbrushes or a mirror in the room are missing.Food: The food was simple and the kitchen staff helpful (for vegetarian option).Massage: A standout was the superb massage on the beach.The diving was truly exceptional, but the hotel experience - below par compared to other places on the island - impacted our overall enjoyment.

We stayed at 3will for 7 people and did the Open Water Diver course with Connor and Jordi. The course was a lot of fun with them and we felt very safe while diving because of their professionalism, even though we had never been diving before.The entire staff is very friendly, helpful and always in a great mood. Thanks to them, there is a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the facility and on the boats.The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. The food is varied and delicious. There are mostly vegetarian options and if not, they made extra tofu or tempeh for us.We really liked the location right on the beach and the diving spots. The reefs are healthy and thanks to the water temperature of 29-30 degrees and few currents, diving there is a lot of fun for beginners like us.Every now and then there were power outages, which didn't last long and were due to the size of the island. However, this was not a problem for us and did not affect our stay.

Enjoyed a carefree short diving holiday for 3 days on our Sulawesi trip. Guide Adam showed us the most wonderful creatures. He is a great guide to go into the water with. The other crew and staff also do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Our superior cabins were clean, with working air conditioning and the beds were comfortable.

We had a very good 4 night stay at the 3Will dive resort in Bunaken.As for diving: We went there with the idea of diving and getting the advanced certification. We had a great experience with Connor who taught us the course (he also speaks Spanish and we were able to do it in our language), and who explained all the concepts to us very well. The resort space and the types of dives are very appropriate for taking the course. The 2 boats to do the dives were very good. The dynamic was 2 dives in the morning, lunch at the resort, dive in the afternoon after lunch, and night dive before dinner (all adaptable of course. And you could notify the day before).All the dive guides (Connor, Adam, Gi, etc) and the crew in general were very good. The site is very beautiful with corals in very good condition and lots of very large turtles. It's a shame about the dirt that comes from Manado.Regarding the resort and accommodation: We were in the superior bungalow, with air conditioning, views of the mangrove. The room was spacious and beautiful and very clean. There were some power outages that led to water outages but they were always resolved quickly when notified.The buffet food was delicious which is very important considering that there are very few restaurant options on the island.There was ping pong and billiards. And hammocks on the beach to relax.In short, we had a very good stay with very good diving and we were able to relax a lot and enjoy ourselves.

Great accommodation in Bunaken.Basic room without air conditioning €80 per night with full board. 70€ on Booking if you are genius.The on-site diving center is top notch and professional. I did 10 dives with them.The meals are delicious and change every day!It's a little expensive for the basic room but the surrounding facilities are worth it: deckchair, billiards, ping-pong table.Thanks again 😊

The room was nice and the food was delicious! You can snorkel right from the beach, or take a walk when the tide is low! All the staff were kind and seemed to care about the ocean! We had staff who could speak Japanese, and we had a wonderful 5 days of snorkeling and diving. Even outside the hotel, everyone at Bunaken is so kind. I will definitely come again!
