Me and my husband went to Kura Kura Resort for 5D/4N in May 2012. The best holiday experience in Indonesia untill now. We are Expat's in Indonesia. Everything works out from reservation office to plane, welcome in Kura Kura, Cottage, food and services. Everything was just so good. The Island is such a nice, quiet and beautifull Island. The sunset... More

We travelled to Kura Kura from Semarang via the small 8 seater Cessna Caravan from May 17 to 20th, 2012. From the moment we arrived at the Semarang Airport and were greeted by Ms. Becky and Imam, we were treated like VIP guests. This continued until the very minute we arrived back in Semarang when we were met by Nita.... More

I traveled to Kura Kura with my girlfriend during a 2 week trip last summer. We looked at a number of places in Bali where to add a bit of spice to our otherwise "real Indonesia" experience, having trailed from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, and looking for some luxury and comfort. Our overall experience at Kura Kura was VERY IMPROVABLE. I... More

My wife and I went to Kura Kura in October '11--and am glad to say that it was a wonderful and memorable stay, totally different from what we usually experienced when we go to Bali (or even the Gilis). We opted for the mini plane as mode of transportation from Semarang. Cost a bomb, but it was quite worth it,... More

We stayed for 5 days, two families, 7 persons all together. Except us, there was only a few honeymooners, so we basically had the "whole island for ourselves". Weather was great, sunsets amazing, and staff friendly. Renato, the dive master, helped me and my two kids to scba diving. The snorkelling just off the pier was outstanding with very nice... More

OK, I agree, it does take effort to get to but that's the whole point. We were rewarded with the most spectacular honeymoon, no children, no plebs. Only people who really wanted to be there and appreciate the luxury and idilyc surroundings of kura kura. The island is tiny- you can walk around it in 20 minutes. White sands, 28... More

The resort is located in one island on its own. The management has kept the property very well. Very nice view from the room (deluxe room) with direct access to the beach. The food is excellent, service is commandable. We enjoyed paddling boat and sunbath in the jetty, beautiful snorkeling and feel like you own the island on your own.... More

To get here, one must take a 3 hour ferry ride to Karimun Jawa then another 45 min ride to kura kura island. For that reason alone, I would not venture to this place again because I felt so sick on the boat. by the way, no seasick bags are given on the boat, so pls bring your own. However,... More

We did not regret to spend our bucks here. It was just worth every penny. Speed boat transfer to and from the main island. Personal welcome from Christiano, the general manager on arrival. Well-appointed bungalows. Great Indonesian and Mediterannean food from the restaurants. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff members all around. Snorkeling equipment was available free of charge. And the... More
