Positive: Everything! The staff, the peacefulness, the bungalow, the food, the diving! Everything was made with profession and always put us in the first place. Diving was secure and Jimmy made our experience awesome in Bunaken with a lot of turtles and rays. Grace made everything from food, our comfort in the bungalow and evening chat to an unforgettable stay! The boat crew were amazing! Took us out for an extra tour to see dolphins but unfortunately they were not to be seen. Thank you all; Grace, Jimmy, Ebing, Iwan, Robi, Miguel and Memi for an incredible stay and thanks to the owner Changli for having such a good communication before we checked in. We will never forget you!

Negative: Nothing

Summary: The best stay ever!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The place is cosy with a family vibe, truly Indonesian, but aware of Western pet peeves. Meals were like a traditional family dinner, but the attentive staff made sure the kids had some comfort foods with french fries and satay, club sandwiches, pancakes and plenty of nutella. They also picked up what our kids liked (watermelon) and made sure to have it on stock. When they heard my daughter would be celebrating her 12th birthday during our stay, they arranged a cake, decorations and live music. It was a pretty great way to top off the day after getting her junior open water diver license. Rooms are spacious; the resort is with five units pretty intimate - which works well when like-minded guests are around; the location gets you to dive spots in 15 min from the resort's own jetty, but offers non-divers lots of flexibility to explore on land. One week is clearly not enough time to explore the area with volcanoes, waterfalls, local culture and jungle within 50 km around. Still, it was amazing to witness my daughter pass her open water diver skills under water and then pet a sea turtle together. The reef in front of the resort was an unexpected snorkeling delight, with very healthy-looking coral and a beautiful transition from mangrove, to sea grass to coral. A young moray eel lives 10 m from the jetty. The fact that sea grass remains intact around the jetty despite constant boat traffic is a testament to the care taken to keep the ecosystem intact. We spent another three weeks in Indonesia in all sorts of accommodations, including 5-star hotels, but Lekker Gezellig was my two daughters' favorite.

Negative: The wifi was patchy at times and water pressure on the showers somewhat inconsistent. I trust these can be resolved. In Manado as elsewhere in Indonesia, plastic rubbish in the sea is a real eye-sore. It varies a bit per day and the resort at least seems to make active efforts to avoid plastic waste (no single-use plastic around) and helps to extract and transport waste from Bunaken island.

Summary: Cosy and friendly hideaway to explore land and sea

Positive: We had a really wonderful stay and a great time at Lekker Gezellig. It is only 10 minutes boat ride to Bunaken. The cottage is clean and comfortable. Any issues were taken care of immediately. We love the quietness of the place with birds singing and animal sounds around. The staff and dive crews are super friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed the days we spent on the boat diving and snorkelling. The food was delicious and the cook can cater to our wishes and the children's preference. We also had a really nice chat with Changli, the owner, who is super attentive and accommodating. At the end of our stay we went on small boats to see the Tarsius family living in the mangrove. Thank you to all the staff for the hospitality. We hope to return again one day :)

Negative: Nothing.

Positive: "Lekker gezellig" fits perfectly for this dive resort. The staff always takes the time for a friendly conversation and is super helpful. Greis and Inka really made a difference to our stay. Everything we need is arranged very quickly. The pickup from the airport was very well organized. We have enjoyed the food, both indonesian and Manadonese dishes, it is very fulfilling and accommodating to our preferences and needs. Breakfast is a pleasant surprise every morning and always comes with bread, fresh fruits and local coffee. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. We really like the terrace with the view, too. The pool is awesome for relaxing and bird watching. Additionally, the owner appears to be very involved and genuinely cares about the guests' happiness. We love the jungle vibe of the resort, very peaceful, with many birds and other beautiful creatures around. The jetty through the mangrove really adds to the experience, a perfect location to do mindblowing dives. I would recommend lekker gezellig to anyone who enjoys the jungle experience and is looking for warm North-Sulawesi hospitality.

Negative: N.a.

Summary: Comfortable jungle experience with warm hospitality

Positive: I highly recommend this place if you like to dive around Bunaken and Silanden island and choose to stay on the mainland. SERVICE I spend 5 days at Lekker Gezellig resort and felt like part of the family right from the beginning. Everyone was super friendly and treated me really nice the whole time. For example: Even the request of washing many of my clothes has been organzied & executed within one day. ROOMS Rooms are super comfy and have everything that you need. They are cleaned every day and you always get new towels if you want them (if you decide for the environment to stick with the used ones, that’s also fine). If you need anything in addition you can just ask for it and Inka and Grace will make it happen for you. FOOD You are served 3 meals daily and everything is freshly prepared - so if you have any allergies or don’t like something you can just tell the chef Mas. For breakfast there is coffee, juice, toast, kaya, jam and any kind of freshly prepared eggs. For lunch and dinner the chef creates super yummy and different dishes every time. If you go for two dives in the morning, you will have lunch at Bunaken island which is a highlight as well 🫶 DIVING Bunaken is one of the nicest place I have ever been to. To give a reference I already dove in Raja Ampat, Indonesia and Sipandan, Borneo. I think I never dove with so many turtles before - like 6-8 in one view. Luckly, I have also seen three eagles rays and some sharks during my 6 dives around Bunaken (which is quite rare). However, honestly just for the amazing coral walls I would jump in again 🩵 Yanex, the resort‘s dive instructor, is highly professional and every experienced. I felt safe with him the whole time. The boat crew is amazing - you just have to carry your personal belongings. Everything else is cared for (tank, BCD, weight, fins, etc.) LOCATION Lekker Gezellig is for relaxing. There is not really much around the resort.

Negative: /

Summary: If you like to feel like coming home, this is your place

Positive: Our stay at Lekker Gezellig was truly delightful! As their very first guests, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff who efficiently resolved any issues we encountered. The bed in our room was very comfortable. While the bath could have been a little bit cleaner, it was still perfectly acceptable. The diving equipment, though slightly aged, performed well and added to our diving experience. A highlight was definitely the food – absolutely awesome and delicious! It's worth noting that this resort is perfect for diving enthusiasts as there isn't much else to do, but the diving spots are phenomenal. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable diving getaway.
