A gem in paradise

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Dec 2023
I had a wonderful time staying at Alor Tanapi. Everything from the rooms, to the food, to the staff, to the diving was exceptional!
The rooms are spacious, clean, and well designed with natural light. The dining area overlooks the ocean where you can enjoy the sunset every evening.
And of course the main attraction is the diving. AMAZING! The corals are vibrant in color, so many beautiful fish, and the dive guides do their best to point out all the small creatures that I would have otherwise missed. The dive team are experts of the ocean and knew the best places to take us exploring. In one day we saw many sharks, baraccudas, and they even knew where to take us to jump in as snorklers to swim with the famous mola mola up close and even dolphins!
The staff there are extremely friendly and help with everything and anything.
It truly is a gem in paradise.

      Large, beautifully decorated rooms with big, super comfortable bed. Lovely location with great view of the sea both from rooms and the restaurant.

      The food was amazing, we have travelled quite a lot in Indonesia, but previously I have always found the food a bit... unimaginative. Alor Tanapi has changed that for sure! Delicious food with fresh ingredients and great variety.

      And then the diving! Just epic. We even extended our stay cause it was so good. Very healthy reefs, large biodiversity and some really mind-blowing sightings such as marlin, thresher sharks, mola molas, dolphins, blue fin tunas etc.

      Staff all through the resort was great, attentive and always happy to help. Isabelle and Ken, the owners, have really built a place to be proud of. Can't wait to be back!

      Beautiful, well run resort offering amazing diving and food. The rooms are extremely comfortable and quiet and during our stay the diving was spectacular, but dress warm we hit 17c on one dive but the marlin that came to hang out with us more than made up for it.

      Room tip: Dive as much as you can, you never know what you will see.

      We felt like we arrived in paradise
      The resort only opened a couple of months ago. The owners are well experienced in hospitality service
      You can see that in every detail
      The food is delicious every time and has lots of variety. Also the diving was fabulous with both dive guides very well experienced

      Room tip: Stay in the beach front bungalow They are so pretty!

      We had a fantastic stay at this resort. Nothing was too much for the owners, Isabelle and Ken to make us feel at home. The cottages are very nice, clean and comfertable. The seaview is indescribably beautiful. We have been in Indonesië many times but eating here trumped everything. The food was worthy five stars. To reach the bungalow you have to walk down a few steps. We are not divers but enyourd here as snorkelers as well. From here you can make many nice trips. We did stay here for a week but would have loved to stay longer.

      Alor Tanapi is a very attractive and comfortable resort with a million dollar view and excellent food. Fantastic snorkeling and forest walks nearby to explore some beautiful waterfalls. The resort provides a comfortable and aesthetic accommodation built with natural matierials that blend into the environment. Great food with both local and Western options available. Homemade delicious cakes, cookies and snacks. Paradise on Earth.
