10.0+Best food we had in Sulawesi! Also very scenic location and very friendly and open owners. Asher even let me use his camera underwater housing for free, and even let us borrow his scooter. The diveguide Viki is also very dedicated in showing us as many creatures as possible, and with great success. We had a wonderfull stay. Would definitly recommend!

8.0+Facilities as advertised, comfortable, food was incredible ( food is not included apart from breakfast). The diving was great and the dive guide identified a lot of things for us.
−As we were not aware of any other food options in the village, it would be reasonable for meals to be included in the price. We also found that the atmosphere on the boat was, at times, a bit immature.

10.0“2 days just wasn’t enough!”
+I came to K2 as a solo traveller and rusty diver. It was a fairly last minute trip to try some muck diving. It turned out to be a fantastic trip and I hope I’ll be back soon (I wouldn’t be the first - there seems to be a strong community of repeat K2 visitors!) As others have said, the food is without fault. I haven’t eaten that well in a very long time. The freshest juices and juice (including mangoes and coconuts from their garden), and a wide range of flavourful fish, meat and vegetable dishes for lunch and dinner. Ronnie and Diane’s cooking was matched by the excellent hosting. The gardens/grounds are well-maintained and a little oasis amongst the jungle. The bungalow was basic but clean, and (a welcome surprise) the shower had very hot water! Without exception, it is the staff who really make this place. Sharon, the owner, was helpful from start to finish. She was very responsive to WhatsApp messages before I arrived, and organised my transfers seamlessly. She offered a completely personalised service, making sure that I was paired with an experienced dive buddy / guide. Both her and her husband, Asher, were incredibly welcoming. They regularly joined us for meals (dining was
−Not negatives but just points to note. First, there are quite steep steps in the resort, because it rises from the shore up a hillside. This wasn’t a problem for me and it means the bungalows all get great views, but it may be a challenge for those with more limited mobility. Second, facilities are quite basic. There are some nice touches (eg umbrellas, slippers and tea/coffee facilities for each bungalow) , I’d say it was above a homestay, but not quite a boutique hotel/resort. Ultimately, this was perfect for me. The resort wasn’t purporting to be a Shangri-La or Hilton. Instead, it offered clean accommodation, top-tier food and diving, and excellent company through its hosts, staff and the likeminded-guests it tends to attract.

10.0“The perfect mix of world-class diving, incredible food, and a team who made me feel completely at home from start to fin”
+Being a solo traveler, I really appreciated how smoothly everything was handled from the moment i stepped out of the airport. Airport pickup and dropoff were arranged in advance, which made the trip completely stress free, and from the moment I arrived Sharon, Asher, and the whole team made me feel welcome and at home. They honestly couldn’t have done more to make my stay enjoyable. The food was absolutely out of this world. On the drive from the airport I mentioned a few of my favourite Indonesian dishes, and during my stay they went out of their way to source and prepare them for me. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the meals even more special. One of the things I loved most about K2 is the environment they’ve created. You can be as social or as private as you like, but I’d really encourage you to be social! Some guests prefer dining quietly on their own, while others pull tables together to share meals, stories, and chat about the day’s diving. It creates a relaxed and welcoming community that feels very natural. The diving itself was exceptional! I did 42 dives, in all including 6 night dives. Fiki, Jimmy, and Evan were superb guides, professional when it came to safety
−Nothing to dislike.

8.0+The staff were friendly, the food was great and wonderful view from bungalow looking out over Lembeh straight. Were there snorkelling (thinking we were going to much diving places to see critters, this wasn't the case but one of our snorkelling spots there the coral colours were some of the best we've seen.
−It would be good to have more transparency around prices (for snorkel/dive trips/food etc) on the website. The meals weren't included in the price as often is on other islands, and there was nowhere else to eat. And the cost of the boat trip snorkelling was much more than expected. The rubbish on the beach was really disappointing.
