Meridian Adventure Marina Club & Resort

Very nice area, may be ine of the top in this island. Staff is very Friendly, i can recomend

Hallo, wir kamen für unsere Flitterwochen und haben uns ein wenig geirrt. Die Wahrheit ist, dass es auf der Insel Waisai keinen Tourismus gibt und deshalb haben wir uns für dieses Hotel entschieden, aber etwas passiert mit dem menschlichen Teil, es ist schwer zu finden ein Lächeln und eine hilfsbereite Einstellung, das Hotel ist klein mit etwa 15 Zimmern, die ziemlich eng sind, es reicht nicht aus, den Koffer offen auf dem Boden stehen zu lassen, das Badezimmer ist jeweils nur für eine Person, es gibt kein Netflix oder Netflix TV, die Qualität der Materialien ist in Ordnung. Das Restaurant ist gut mit einer Auswahl an Speisen und wird von freundlichen Einheimischen serviert. Als Referenz kostet ein kleines Bier 12 US-Dollar. Die Tauchgänge als Referenz haben einen Wert von 200 US-Dollar für Doppelgänger, die Ausrüstung und Boote sind von höchster Qualität, die Tauchlehrer Sie sind freundlich, sehr jung und brauchen etwas mehr Erfahrung für das Publikum, das sie bedienen. Da es sich um Rajam Ampat handelt, trafen wir einen Lehrer namens Ross, der uns nicht anleiten konnte, weil er zu dieser Zeit mit anderen Kunden zusammen war und er der einzige war Einer, der herausragte und sehr professionell war, als er uns die Teams vorstellte. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass das Hotel über gute Einrichtungen und Ausstattung verfügt, aber die Besitzer müssen sich um die menschliche Seite kümmern. Gute Reise für Sie 🤗

My 7 nights stay in November was just perfect! I read the excellent reviews of the hotel before booking and I confirm that it is totally worth it. I took the hotel + dives package (6 days, 7 nights) and I would not change anthing if I had to go back again. About the dives: Speedboats from hotel are not even a minut away from the resort. Super convenient and practical. The fact that it is a high speed boat allowed us to reach dives sites very fast compared to ther dive boats I have experienced. Usually 20, 40 or 50 min max (except special day trips that bring you further). The gear is of very good quality, so is the very mordern boat. We were always diving in small group of 6-8 guests + 3 dive masters which made it very easy to just be diving all together without any wasted waiting time. The dive masters are adorable. They are a mix of different nationalities, including local. The captains (locals) are also always making sure you are fine having enough water and watermelon. Special thank you to Ronja & Joséphine (both interns) who are so kind, caring and very professional when you needed assistance during dives (I had ear issues and I got tured during a strong current dive). Big thank you to Yigit, Erkan, Abner (dive masters) for making the best out of our dives while making sure the good mood is there! It is a pleasure to see a diving team so enthousiatic about their work, even though they dive there every day. In general, everything is just super smooth as the boat is basically in front of the hotel and the team will bring and set up your gear for you. No need to mention that all diving spots were amazing! Coral is very healthy and fish diversity is incredible. I only repeated 1 dive spot out of 17 dives. Hotel itself: The rooms are as per the pictures: modern, clean, comfortable but small. It’s fine because you will spend most of the time outside. All the staff is very kind: special recognition to Rivon at the reception and the smiling waitresses at the restaurant. Food prices are a bit expensive but the variety (local + international) and quality was good. Hotel location is very practical as it is in front of the ferry port but still super calm. Going there solo: I was a solo traveller and I think I was the only one from the whole hotel which was full. Being everyday diving with people gave me the opportunity to socialize and make friends. Also the staff feels like family after some days spent in the hotel, as it is not big. I can recommend but don’t expect to have big shared tables with lots of solo travellers- at least when I was there. You will need to do a little effort on your side to join others in activities outside diving. Things to be aware of & areas of improvement: - The hotel doesn’t have beach fromt. It is by the sea, but it is a small hatbour with a few boats. - There is not much to do in Waisai except diving/snorkeling. I would not recommend if you are not passionated about sealife. Local restaurants are 25 min away walk
