Our stay at Siladen was fabulous. The snorkeling on the house reef was full of hard and soft corals with so much to see. The dive boats took us out to some amazing places which we really enjoyed. The boats are all in good condition and well kept. The dive staff was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The room was beautiful and clean. There was free wifi. The food was really good and varied. There was usually a large buffet and also a station where they prepared your order. On two occasions it was a sit down service. Lots of good options. They had really nice entertainment, including the local town choir. The spa...well I would go back just for the spa. They had free yoga classes and an informational talk about marine life (nudibranchs) one night. Very inclusive atmosphere among the guests and staff. Staff was super efficient if there was ever a problem. Very welcoming management. Great stay!

Staff was amazing, dedicated, friendly to us and to each other, called us always by first names, immediately picked up our special needs and requests, attending to every detail ! Food was exceptional (all meals) : very creative chef, using local fresh ingredients. Dive Centre is one of the best I have seen (and I dived in >12 resorts in South East Asia). It is run like a precision machine, and always trying to satisfy the guests wishes. We had an amazing trip to the highlands also. Very relaxing atmosphere. AMAZING, AMAZING AMAZING !!!!!

internet signal in our room was a bit slow

Everthing Kind staff knowing everyone’s name An efficient management team Wonderful spa and delicious food changing everyday Experienced dive master who made me confident during my PADI open water course

For people sleeping light, beach villa may be a better choice (no need to share the wall with the neighbor which is the case for my garden villa)

All amenities and services are excellent. The food is always above expectations. The most exceptional aspect of the resort is the staff. The standard is set by the managers, Anna and Miguel who make sure that each guest feels welcome. All the staff know the names of the guests and are happy to greet you by name. The scuba diving operation is superb. Dive guides are expert in finding and identifying marine life. Your guide stays with you for your entire diving schedule. The spa is also great and quite reasonably priced.

All good. I'll be back!

Long list. The people: They were always cheerful and pleasant and would go way out of their way to ensure we were pleased. The Resort: Incredible, beyond beautiful. Clearly a well thought out landscape and well manicured. The buildings are clean and well maintained. The food: not only was the food great, the restaurant team was flexible to support special needs or requirements. Diving: While a bit disappointed there not being any larger animals, the sites varied and the dive guides seemed to know where the macro shots were. All of my dives were two divers to a dive guide and had the same guide every dive. A shout-out to Alwin, the best guide I could have asked for. We do travel a lot (57 countries and growing) and have had many great stays. This resort / location will be regarded as one of the best we have enjoyed so far.

While out of their control, just off the beach There are large amounts of sea grass while does limit the swimming options a bit.

Everything! Perfect stay. The location, the massages, Ana, Marco and the whole Siladen staff, the facilities, the snorkeling, the yoga, the lectures, the room. We can go on and on! Everything was amazing, but most of all the staff really made us enjoy our stay! Thanks so much Siladen, it was really a unique experience and all the small details of offering such great service and care made us feel super relaxed! We really hope to come back one day and see you all again. Congratulations on all you do.

Nothing

There really is nothing that we didn't like. But maybe, even though they are already doing a lot to clean the beach daily and remove ocean plastic, the only small detail/feedback we can give is the amount of plastic that comes from Manado city that's still stuck in the seagrass at low tide. If possible to remove this (or maybe include/organize beach clean ups for resort guests?) that would be recommended.

A great place to stay to explore Bunaken National Park. The staff is super helpful and will make you feel at home from the very beginning. Villas are very nice, clean and comfortable. The food served is amazing, great variety of choices and the presentation is outstanding making you feel you're eating at the Michelin star venue. The house reef is nice though those truly worth a while require a boat ride that the resort can arrange (the whole day trips and snorkeling trips are excellent too by the way). The staff at the dive center are also very helpful and flexible to accommodate your snorkeling/diving needs. Room service is provided twice a day.

To snorkel you have to walk to the jetty, not far but can't do it off the beach. The beach in front of the resort is average. The one near the jetty is poor as local people live nearby with boats parked. The concrete jetty is quite ugly but doesn't belong to the resort.

First class buffet of Asian and European foods next to the beach. Friendly first name - personal service.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

This resort has my 5 star + rating at absolutely every aspect: housing, beds, aircon, garden, beach, dive shop and equipment, spa***, restaurant and food***, diving and snorkelling boats and service***, bar... Service personnel are abundant are all very friendly and helpful. The resort brings and train local people to a very professional level, all speak clear English! Any request is addressed with the lightning speed but at the same time service it is NOT at all overbearing. The chef can satisfy demanding customers from the megapolis and it is surprising to find this quality in such remote location, should I mention great produce supply. Dive boats are very comfortable, and capable of coming so close to the shore that you can step directly from the sand to the boat. Diving and snorkelling personnel taking care of you as parents care about the newborn baby. !!!!A hot aromatherapy towel after every dive!!! hot and cold drinks snacks fruits on the boat, dry shelves for your phones and cameras, individual baskets for equipment. Dive personnel take 100% care of your equipment! !!!After diving they wash and dry your equipment wetsuits etc.!!!! I have seen great resorts, liveaboards which are special at sum aspects but never seen service that is impacable at everything!!!! Location is great: only an hour from the airport!!! but such short distance make the weather conditions on the island much better then in Manado - we were at the off season time, Manado had thunderstorms all the time but at Siladen it was great. I was with two kids and felt completely safe in open water, my son got several introdives safely (walldiving!). There are so many turtles!!!!!!!!

It was difficult find any. Internet in the room is sometimes not good but at the pool bar is ok. It could be an issue if you are rely on internet business during the stay.
