WOW…… Alor…… we are still rembering the GREAT time we had with Alor Divers on Pantar Island. Last August/September we stayed there for a great amount of nights. After a couple off flights we got picked up by a small boat to bring us to the resort on the other island. From there the crew of the resort TAKES CARE off you as a guest.
The resort is on a very peacefull location. No shops around, no noice of music, traffic or other sounds. Only the sound of the waves. In the morning you even wake up with the upcoming sun and in the evening the nice view on the stars and the Milky Way.
The bungalows all have ocean view and have all the things (we think) anybody needs: a daily cleaned bungalow, 230V, hot shower, good beds with fresh linnen, musquito net, fresh drinking water, hot water for tea or coffee, towels, Wifi and outsight a nice sitting area.
During our stay we never had problems with mosquitos. No bites and no other stinging insects at all. Only some goat and a gekko behind the mirror.
As a guest you only have to walk a short distance to get to the main building or the diving centre. In the main building they serve all the freshly cooked meals. In the morning always fresh baked bread (mostly still warm), a fresh baked egg and coffee or tea. Lunch and diner where always a buffet. The warm bananacake is super. For us enough to choose from.
After the dives you can also have a cold drink in the main building and enjoy the company of each other, look in the fish books or just have a conversation with each other. A great place to get together.
For the dives you walk to the beach, step with your suit and boots on in the small local boat. This boats brings you to the speedboat. A bigger boat or the speedboat cannot come closer because of depth and the reef. Everything (diving gear, tanks, food, drinks, groceries and drinking water) has to go in a boat, into the local boat, to the beach and vice versa. A lot of work you normaly do no think about.
The dive locations vary a lot and are by boat max 30 minutes. Sometimes there is a strange current (even in the dive). The water can be cold. Be prepared for a temperature between 22-28 degrees. We think this location is not for people with a small amount of dives
The diving is always in small groups and the crew on the boat helps you always to put on the gear or take it off. After the dives the crew takes care of the diving gear. The crew has that all under control. Nothing you have to worry about. You only need need to carry your mask and camera and nothing more than that. We felt as a KING and QUEEN.
The whole crew of the resort takes good care of guests. If it is the kitchen crew, the dive crew of the other staff. They where always friendly to us, always with a smile and a nice word. They want you to relax and enjoy.
We give this resort (and of course all the crew members) a BIG HAND for the hard work to make this holiday for us a PLEASANT period to remember.
THANK YOU! Tanjung Kelapa and “Houdoe”.
Kinds regards, Mark and Jacqueline
