Kadidiri Paradise Resort & Dive Centre

The good:- Good location. Near a reef that has some decent things to see. Jungle you can walk through to a nice beach with a better snorkel spot. Can also spot coconut crabs in the jungle at night if your are lucky.- Tasty food. Be there on time though because they put it down either way and there are some flies.- Fun full/half day tours that bring you to nice snorkel spotsThe bad:- Needs renovation. Rooms have holes so you will most likely have rats in your room at night. They are also hot (including the night) because the fan is not very strong for the room size. Doors either have broken locks or dont fully close (why?). Its also messy in the back of the resort. Finally, the wooden jetty to get in the water is broken in places, one day somebody will fall through. Everything just looks a bit dated.- The staff can be lazy at times (except for the cooks!). Like not cleaning up the plates until the next day. Long faces when asked for a drink from the bar, etc.A decent stay overall. I don't think there is really a future plan, so it will not get better. But that's the case for Sulawesi in general so you are not getting much better anywhere else on the islands. So kinda recommended?

I had a very nice bungalow and found the staff very nice too! It was a shame that the dive master was out on three days due to illness and on the last day an engine in the diving boat broke and couldn't be repaired quickly.Kadidiri is perfect for day trips to Unauna and Malenge, so if you are interested in Palau Papan and Jellyfish Lake, this is the place for you!The breakfast was very good, I would only have liked a dessert after lunch and dinner, for example in the form of fresh fruit.Two guests were overcharged for activities but got their money back when they noticed.

Nothing to complain about except that time passes too quickly. There is so much to do that you will barely have time to relax and even if you want to do it, this is the ideal place. Afraid of not having internet? They have a connection at a really affordable price. Excursion and diving possible.The staff is super helpful, kind, smiling and the tables are arranged so that everyone can meet and get to know each other.Special mention to Hadrien, Elise and their magnificent child. I send you big kisses, thank you for this moment filled with good memories and your warm welcome. I will return to the Bali room!

We had a great stay at Kadidiri! Food was tasty and different every day. Location was great, with a lovely housereef with tons of coral fish, cuttlefish and if you are lucky sharks and eagle rays. In the night you can sometimes see luminescent plankton! The houses were spacious and right on the beach. Bathroom was a bit outdated but that was the only downside for us. Owner and manager were very friendly and helpfull, I don't recognize the negative reviews about this. We also went diving and had great dives with Irul. Also did some great day trips and went out for jungle walks and kayaking. Terima kasih Kadidiri! 💚

After a tour in Sulawesia where we met only extremely kind people, we spent 5 nights at the Kadidiri Paradise Resort. And there for the first time we encountered deceit and pettiness. …

I stayed in a Sea Villa June 8-13, 2024. Watching the sunset from the deck, and entering the water from the ladder on the deck were complete luxuries for me. This is a great resort. The owner/operator Elizabeth is a very gracious host. Her reservation/logistics expert (Vina) was a great help. All the staff including dive were excellent to deal with. Don’t miss diving the WW2 plane, it was one of the highlights of my trip. I would definitely stay here again, and I would splurge for a Sea Villa.

The resort is beautiful on the outside, they clean the beach and everything looks nice. But we stayed in the standard room and the floor of the bathroom was pretty dirty and the room was clean but very basic and old . A bit too overpriced comparing to other hotels in Togian where you can get better rooms for the same price. Probably the more expensive rooms are better. The food was okay but lunch is at 12 and dinner at 19 and in between they didn’t give any kind of snack (like other resorts in Togian) so it was the only one where we were actually hungry. On the last day we wanted to have an extra meal and they wanted to charge us 75K per person, which is a lot for a bit of rice and vegetables. It was not a nice detail. As the other comments say, it feels like they want to charge for everything.

At first glance, the island seemed like a true paradise with its warm sandy beaches, coconuts, and intoxicating cocktails. The crystal clear water and multi-colored fish added to the charm of the place. The manager and his team, smiling, gave the impression of a perfect welcome.However, behind this facade hid a disappointing reality. The staff was unfriendly, the rooms were dirty and smelly, and the prices were exorbitant. The dives, without interest, and a theft of money accentuated the uneasiness. The manager, whose smile hid a palpable deviousness, orchestrated behind-the-scenes shenanigans. This experience was far from the usual kindness of Indonesians.In short, although the canteen offers good meals, the rest of the experience was disappointing. It is best to flee this place to avoid such disillusionment.

A real nightmare! Avoid!||The welcome was very cold, we honestly had the impression of being a nuisance, as soon as I had a question the staff left even though it was to inform me about the excursions. …

A real nightmare! To flee!The welcome was very cold, we honestly had the impression of being a nuisance, as soon as I had a question the staff left even though it was to inform me about excursions.The manager feels above everything, he eats on his table overlooking the little people.The place is dirty and noisy! There are dogs full of fleas absolutely everywhere, including in the restaurant. The beach and sea are dirty, full of trash and the staff don't seem to care.They apparently forgot our reservation, we ended up with twin beds for our honeymoon, cobwebs in the bed, blood on the mosquito net, no curtains on the windows (so no privacy) and obviously a door which did not close from the inside, so it remained open at night.We heard that day that overbooking was common, they asked several people to make arrangements to be able to get a bungalow. All they care about is your money.Breakfast takes place at 7:30 a.m., my husband had to dive at 8:30 a.m., 8:15 a.m. still nothing, our neighbor sacrificed himself so that my husband could eat before diving and I took mine alone… The food there is terrible by the way .For diving, he had done Taipi wall the day before, we told him that he will do mini canyon today, but once in the boat, as there are not enough boats, everyone will (again) do Taipi wall, no choice as the boat has started.A place to escape!Before that we were in Indah Malenge which I recommend more!
