Poki Poki Cottages

We spent five days at Poki Poki, which means “eggplant” in Indonesian. The resort is predominantly occupied by German travelers and holidaymakers. You quickly get into conversation. The employees are very friendly and also respond to individual requests. The bungalows are functional and right on the beach. The excursions that are offered are very good and cheap. Mila's food is also good... freshly caught fish and rice every day, vegetables, fried foods... even at 4 p.m. there is a small snack. Snorkeling directly in the resort isn't great... but the two snorkeling reefs are great (see picture). We even saw sharks. One of the best resorts on the Togians.

We had a really great time at Poki Poki, the place is magical and the bungalows are lovingly built and fit in perfectly with the beach surroundings. …

We would recommend a stay at Poki Poki to anyone who wants to be close to nature and have a quiet and beautiful atmosphere! We simply cannot understand the reviews you read here regarding the standards of the resort! If you travel to a place like this, then points like the lack of internet connection or the temporary presence of electricity are actually more reasons *for* staying here... that's exactly what creates the quiet, relaxed and close-to-nature atmosphere :)The water is indeed a bit reddish, but this is more due to an increased iron content than because the water is dirty and grubby... in other words: it's just not bad! And even if it is, that's probably the price you have to pay to be in such a paradisiacal place!The inexpensive activities and the opportunities to relax in various hammocks and loungers should provide something great for any type of day planning :) The only downer is the seaweed in the bay. However, you can still swim if you go into the water at the jetty :)The food was always very tasty… we were particularly impressed with the breakfast! Of course, as a vegetarian it can sometimes be a bit monotonous, as there is often rice with side dishes. However, different types of vegetables and tempeh and tofu are served. Accordingly, it is probably even more varied than is usual in Indonesia outside of Bali. People who eat fish should be well catered for anyway, as the fish here is always caught and prepared daily.All in all, our stay here was one of the absolute highlights of our Indonesia trip so far and we look back fondly on our time with Elora and the Poki-Poki family! :)

I have no words to express how incredibly perfect this place is for your stay in Togian. The rooms are clean and spacious. We stayed in the Bamboo light and we loved it. The food was very good and portions were okay. We were never hungry during our stay. The whole vive of the place was amazing, people sharing a big table, conversations, games and music. The staff was always willing to help and arrange day trips. I would stay there for a month if I could .
