Cheap hotels in Pulau Mansuar

Every thing is more than our expectations from the time they picked us up from the port in Waisai. Mario is superb, he was always friendly and willing to help, he organised a ferry to send us to another homestay next to his free of charge and asked us to have the lunch before we left. As for foods, I think the foods they provided were good and delicious. The staff were very friendly too. We liked our room, the bed was wide and comfortable. House reef is one of the best, I wish that we should planed to stay longer.

We came to raja ampat to dive. The days in Raja Ampat is the most unforgettable vacation I've ever had, and the stay at Nyande was just beyond my expectation. Both in the facilities and the price performance. Upon arrival the bungalows and the elevated restaurant impressed me, you can just tell how meticulous the owner was and how much efforts he has paid in designing his place. Rooms were comfortable, food was nice. What significantly added to the value is the beautiful house reef and the mangrove tree at the middle of the rooms. Simply going snorkeling will get you stunned with the beautiful corel and many fishes. And the mangrove had surprises in store (we saw a big, color-changing cuttlefish under it, just as what we saw on tv). Going diving was also conviently arranged with nearby dive shops at reasonable price. I came here after a 10-day stay at a well-know resort in Gam Island. I'd confidently say Nyande is no less (or even more) amazing than that resort which is twice the price of Nyande. I won't write so much unless I truly feel pleased or even grateful to a place where I spent a few days. And Nyande and its owner Andy was definitely worthwhile me doibg so!

Our stay at Amoryg Resort in Mansuar was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The location is stunning, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the amazing service we received from the entire team. A special thank you to Ramdhan for his attentiveness and warm hospitality, he made us feel at home every single day. Oyen impressed us with his snorkeling guidance and caring attitude, every outing was magical thanks to him. Afri was always there with a smile, offering outstanding assistance at any hour, and his energy and kindness truly stood out. And Andy, with his friendly presence and helpful nature, made everything easier and more enjoyable. Every member of the team went above and beyond, and we left with unforgettable memories and full hearts. We’re already dreaming of coming back one day. Thank you for everything!

We had a wonderful stay at Frances, what a exklusive and luxurios place. Just 2 wonderful and huge huts in great design, right on top of the reef and in the middle of wonderful original Kurkapa Village. Very friendly staff, excellent food (delivered by the kids of the family right to our huge terrace). What more can you ask for - an island paradise, with a wonderful house reef right in front of the hut. Lots of fishes and sharks living there. Hopefully we´ll be back soon! Katrin & Markus

Hosted by Mama Julia and Kk Mothy, we had an incredible experience at shady homestay for two days. Arrived on Tuesday afternoon, Julia and Mothy picked us up at Waisai. Storm was raging but they prepared everything so our big bags were not wet. Even though waves were very high, Timothy mastered ocean and found our way through the waves. We were then welcomed by the rest of the family with a delicious tea time and snorkeled in front of the homestay, lost in the small satellite islands around Gam island. The place is peaceful, quiet, and extremely beautiful in the middle of nowhere in the Raja Ampat : a Lunar experience. On Wednesday, Timothy and Julia organized us a fabulous daytrip around Gam Island between Sawingrai village, light water, labyrinth mangroves, magical reefs, caves, view points, snorkelings, painted hands geopark famous site, hidden bays, beach walk, coconut… everything was perfect and made very friendly and warm welcoming by Julia, and very fun with Timothy’s talents to drive the boat as a sports car driver in tight ways and hard turnovers ! We left on Thursday after another little trip with Timothy for a batcave and snorkeling morning. We saw everything with them : lots of reef fishes and bigger fishes, manta, dolphins, blacktop sharks, turtles … and even the rarest and endemic Wobbegong shark. What made the experience different and fantastic is the kindness of this whole family working together and making everything seem effortless and great even though it could be hard work for them. Shady Homestay is THE PLACE TO BE for visiting Gam island with the fun experience on board with Timothy and the warm welcome and comfort of the delicious food provided by Julia and their family. THANK YOU SO MUCH. We will definitely come back.

This homestay on Besir island is ideally located near several interests spots in Raja Ampat. The place is calm, only two cabins on the water, connected to a village full of charm. The utilities are on the beach, near the owner's house. It's very clean and has everything required to answer basic needs. Regarding the rooms, mosquito net on the bed, fan, electricity at night, blankets, hammock, sunbed and basic furnitures. All the meals (included in the reservation) are served to your cabin, they vary and are prepared by an great cook! So everything is tasteful and good. No connection except if you get a SIM card on arrival at Sorong's airport but deconnection is great. It's easy to communicate with the owner who speaks well English (rare in Raja Ampat) and he tries his best for you to have the best stay possible. Him and his family are super nice and welcoming while respecting your privacy. I came with a friend and we stayed 3 full days, we had an amazing time there and we can only recommend this place. All the activities we've done through them were memorable, we had a lot of fun. Have a good holiday there!

I want to start by saying, if you want a resort style holiday then this is not it. This is a homestay, one of the best in the area, with basic or above basic facilities (toilet without mechanical flushing, shower, bet with net, electricity 6 PM to 6 AM, fan and in the future air conditioner). You get an amazing reef (fish, turtles, occasional octopus and black tips), 20 minutes walk to the village with shops (beer, sodas, cookies and noodles), great exercusions, all very reasonably priced. Food is ok (rice, vegetables and fresh fish). Overall, I definitely recommend it if you want to have a great experience and not pay resort like prices.

Thanks to Aron, the host, it was an exceptional experience during our stay. We've visited almost every location for snorkeling and diving on Raja Ampat (you should pay for the boat). We'd a very diverse menu and a true natural Papua environment.

Julia and MImi are the girls volunteering and they made the home stay the best home stay in all of raja! We heard horror stories of other tourists who had gone somewhere else and then come to Gibran and said Gibran was the best! These girls organised a day trip for us every day, took us snorkelling, swimming, island hopping every day!! They showed us all the fish, mantas, whales, orcas & sharks This was my favourite trip ever, and the girls made it 100% The accomodation huts are really nice and comfy, and the food was top notch! I will 100% be back for Julia and Mimi! The house reef is so nice, saw turtles, sharks all the fish every day! Even the dugong!!! So many stars , clean water, food, showers and a toilet !
