Beach Hotels in Pulau Mansuar

Great snorkling, very good food, nice bungalows. Petra, Poo and everyone else working there made our stay there really unforgetable.

Property We had stayed 7 nights. The guest house was very comfortable with beautiful landscaped walking paths. Andy, the man behind the design and build of the property, sets high standards for the building of the property and his team, with the result that this is a rare gem of a place. The showers have good water pressure and there are flush toilets! Each room also has its own dedicated toilet and shower so there’s no need to share with the other guests, which can be helpful when we need to rush for early morning excursions. Electricity is avail all day long due to the use of solar power and there were hardly any flies or mosquitoes which was great as it meant we could lounge around without the use of mosquito nets (though those were provided). We saw mantas 3 times on excursions to Manta Ridge and the highlight was a full day trip to the Fam Islands (eg Piaynemo, Melissa’s Garden and and Rufas Island) where the sights were breathtaking. The house reef was also great with schools of fish, turtles, sea snakes, moral eels…We swam to the neighboring jetty where we saw a number of black-tipped sharks and saw cuttlefishes at another neighbouring jetty so lots to explore around the area. Also wanted to make special mention of Meg, the resident dog who very responsibly accompanied us whenever we go for longer walks to other parts of the island and she also warns off potential intruders! Food Every meal was delicious (especially lunch and dinner) with lots of veggies and fruits. Hot water with tea and coffee is always available and cold beer can be purchased! Crew Esni is the life of the party and very experienced in reading the currents and finding mantas! She makes sure everyone is well-taken care of during excursions. Jody who helps with the excursions was also amazing, accompanying us on the short hikes to see the sights and taking the initiative to help us climb over the tougher spots.

Great rustic experience with fab staff

Super remote location with small local village near by, with all those super great noises - children playing, dogs barking and roosters crowing. Direct access to the reef with beautiful underwater world and lot of fishes. Room was big and also the big size bed with mosquito net. Host organized the trip to other islands and snorkeling spots, also the transfer to ferry.

To be honest we booked this accommodation because everything was booked up and it was the only option. After reading some of the bad reviews we were a bit afraid about how it could be and in the end it was amazing! We had our own bathroom inside the hut, the hut was totally remodeled and the food was the best food we ate at Kri! Everything fresh and a lot of tuna and nice fish and fruit. Also the family was very nice and friendly all the time lending us the snorkeling set for free and drove us to our next accomodation at their boat as well. We were only 2 days but I really recommend this place! Also it is next to one of the best snorkel and diving areas of Kri.

Amazing Staff and food was exceptional

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.

Best homestay on our Raja Ampat trip. Excellent food. Great house reef.

Hidden in the mangroves, this homestay is comfortable, has an excellent house reef and is near a local village. A short walk to get extra supplies. However, it is Paulus and his family that makes the Blue Sea the place to stay. The food is excellent and any excursion by long boat is quickly arranged at a fair price. If you ask nicely, Paulus will take you to his special snorkelling spots. They never disappointed. Highly recommended for an affordable Raja Ampat experience.

The shower, the fan is the room, the team, the nice dog 🥰
