Beachfront vacation rentals in Raja Ampat Regency

I am giving Katembe 5 stars because I had a 5-star experience, but I will be including a lot of FYI's for people considering staying. I think it is just ultimately a better experience if you know what you're getting into. - 4 nights minimum stay -- the listing says you take a 9AM ferry with no further details and really should be more clear. You would leave the resort at 7:30AM to get to the ferry port of Waisai. From Waisai (if you leave on time) it takes another 2 hours to get to Sorong where the airport is. Plan accordingly because the staff did not flag this when I forwarded them my flight info and I did have to book another flight and night in Sorong. - be prepared for nothing ever drying. My katembe towel was never dry after my first time using it, and things get really stinky. Bed sheets are moist/wet/damp the entire time. - If you're ok with that, the island is amazing, the food is fantastic and the people were my absolute fav part of this trip. Amazing boat trips!!!

The two story bungalows in Beser Bay and the surrounding bungalows are all located in a stunning environment with very interesting mangroves and rock features. You will be surrounded by friendly local families who take very good care of their guests! Catch sunset at the end of the jetty, aka WiFi point. Schedule activities through what’s app or catch one of the guides the evening you arrive. Petrik and Rico took us all the way out to Pianemo to snorkel and hike and back to Waisai to catch the 9:00 ferry, it was an amazing stay overall!

We had an amazing time at Methos. Super nice staff, great house reef, quiet and relaxing Atmosphäre, good food and great trips. Couldn't have been any better. Thank you!

Where should I start? Just wow! The location of Noldy's homestay is simply amazing (unless you don't like the sound of waves at night, of course 😉) As expected the homestay has the basic amenities needed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. The food that was prepared was delicious, with a mix of both Indonesian and Western style dishes - I was hoping to lose weight on this trip, but they made sure I ate 3 times per day. Noldy is a PADI divemaster and made me feel comfortable on each dive. In all, I took 6 dives, each being just as special as the last, and although we didn't see any giant manta ray whilst diving, we did have the fortune of one breaching water whilst we were returning in the boat.... We quickly put masks on and jumped in to catch a glimpse. Magical! There is also a cute dog at the homestay who never refused a walk along the beach at low tide. Highly recommended and I hope to return next year.

Peter was a very gracious host. he hosted me with a 21-day tour With a great Group of fun and beautiful Czechoslovakians. Trip of s lifetime !
