Homestays in Pulau Mansuar

Great facilities and amazing staff

Amazing Property overall. The Bungalows are nice, spacious and clean, with large comfortable beds. The Bathrooms are beautiful and equipped with running water, and a modern, western style toilet. They are cleaned daily and always in impeccable condition. There is 24/7 power and good Wifi which is rare in Raja Ampat. Overall the level of comfort is almost unheard of for Raja Ampat and definitely the most relaxing experience in this paradise. The food is also good, there is always coffe, tea and fruit, and the staff is great. Andy, the owner and Esni, the excursion guide took amazing care of us throughout our stay. All excursions were enjoyable and priced fairly, with very nice, modern boats. Esni also helped arrange a tour to blue river on our departure day, despite it not being offered by Nyande directly, which was amazing too. The location on Mansuar is also great, since you have plenty of great spots closeby, but can still reach more remote locations like Piyanemo or Wayag. The house reef is also beautiful, and you can easily spend a few days just exploring the surroundings of the property. Overall this was one of the best stays we have ever experienced.

The food not good and the personnel not so friendly... The location very good and kri island so beautiful.... and very quiet....

We had a great time at Bruno raja ampat. We were warmly welcomed by Farrah and her family. Farrah prepared us very good food, with typical specialities. The home stay is just in front of the jetee of sauwandarek, on the beach. It’s great for snorkeling. There is a wide variety of fishes, corals and many sea turtles. We are in a small village quiet and very welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and we recommend this address.

The welcome of Mimi & Julia, the team on site was perfect ! They created a real unforgettable experience. I recommend them. And the place is beautiful, very well located.

We absolutely loved our stay at Beser Bay. The bungalows are located in a beautiful spot, slightly tucked away but with amazing sunset views. The bungalows are large and spacious and very comfortable. Power is limited (6pm-midnight), but that’s plenty of time to re-charge phones, cameras, etc. We were always able to get good cell service (we had Telkomsel SIM cards). We loved how quiet it was here eg you don’t hear music from nearby villages etc so it’s very peaceful. The food was insanely good, to the point that if they released a cook book I would buy it. The food varied each night, with lots of veg cooked in different and delicious ways. Plenty of fish, plus eggs and chicken. Highlight were the 4pm snacks like cakes from the village or their home made chocolate donuts or banana puffs for breakfast. We never went hungry here..! Excursions were reasonably priced (bring a ton of cash) - we loved visiting Citrus Ridge and Aulin Reef were maybe the highlights. House reef is worth doing (we saw nudibranches) - hard to snorkel there at low tide but you just have to time when you go in and otherwise do excursions or just read a good book. We did the red bird of paradise tour from here - definitely worth it (just bring a ton of repellent). If you need to find more people for a tour, walk to the Homestay around the corner / rock and join their tours or get guests there to join yours. You also see baby rays and sharks swimming around the bungalows. Hosts were so lovely and friendly - we liked that they left us to ourselves most of the time but if we had questions or wanted a chat, so they were around.

Great family food was great. Rustic but charming.

Binmeos (the owner) was very responsive from the start (very rare in this region as i later realised!) to help arrange transfers, trips and throughout the trip with suggestions and recommendations. His English is actually really good as well which was super helpful. The location is great, beach is right in front with a gorgeous house reef and a jetty 3 mins walk away for an easier entry in low tide. The room was large and comfortable, clean, and having a private bathroom was quite the treat (and very rare ok Kri). Last but not least I must say at Binmeos I had THE BEST food I had in all of my trip to Raja Ampat (stayed at 6 homestays). Binmeos' wife is an incredible chef, and there was always plenty of food! Thank you so much!!

Amazing!!!!! Uau, thank you Aron for having us in your piece of paradise. Amazing place, super comfortable bungalows on top of the water with a hammock. You can see baby black tip sharks from your bungalow passing by. They have a great spot for the sunset!! Food is ok and enough for everyone. We would like to thank Raya for the amazing experience with the mantas, he wanted to make sure we had the best experience and he was super nice!! Thank you Aron and Monde for the kindness and the music, it was such a cool bonus to hear you guys singing!! We will never forget the days we spend here!
