Hotels Near Friwen Beach in Raja Ampat

I visited this resort with a large group of divers from our diving club. - Very friendly, professional and safety conscious staff provided an excellent diving experience. We really appreciated the fact that they spared no effort or cost (despite the high fuel prices) to take us to the best dive sites, even if these were a long way away. Diving is spectacular. The boats are very sturdy and very fast, but the double decker tank rack in the middle of the RIBs means your view is always blocked and you can't see or talk to the people opposite you. The hotel staff went out of their way to make customers happy. The only point for criticism is that the hotel rooms are small and don't offer enough storage space for divers.

A very good hotel altogether, not far from the ferry and close to everything in Waisai. Great bungalows with anything you need, very comfortable. The host is a very welcoming and kind person. I will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Waisai.

Waisai is a nice town. The residents are not jaded by tourists (yet) as they see them with less frequency than other locations in Indonesia. Simply stated, they are wonderful. All the children say hello and approach often to ask your name and where you are from. Being there in the beginning of December allowed us to see the Christmas parade and train that takes children around town. Magical in so many ways as you can't help but smile when a parade such as this has Mickey Mouse and the much beloved Hello Kitty. And the train is totally lit up with lights and smiles. Beautiful. Most everyone that shows up in Waisai heads out to a resort. Many of the remainder head to home stays in nearby islands or away from town. These can be nice but we don't do well with being so contained. We did a live aboard here in Raja Ampat and then dove with Olin Dive Center in town for another week. The hotel is very situated in town as it is a short walk to the beach, is very close to the wonderful daily market, close to grocery stores and near to the dive shop. We came to stay for 4 days but stayed the week. Rooms are clean and air-conditioned. They are large, have television and provide a breakfast (included in price). Out back there are clothes lines for use. Not much English is spoken but translation apps made life easy. Staff are very nice! At a moments notice the staff set us up with the town's tourist representative (Husna) to help us out with a great deal including getting to Wayag and also seeing the Red, as well as Wilson's, bird of paradise. The hotel was less expensive than the hostel where another diver stayed. We are unsure if we will return for a third visit to Raja but if we do, we will definitely stay at this hotel again as the the place is nice and the town it is in is wonderful.

Rooms not that clean, towels old and frayed. Air conditioning not working 100%. Restaurant - abominable food and service. Four of us ordered - one dish at a time over 1.5 hours. No coke No sparkling water No sofa water Rude server Only Sprite.

The hotel room is spacious and clean and the amenities are good for this 3 stars rating. Provide with a safe for your safe keeping. The room which I stayed has windows and feel more opened and brighter. Bed is comfortable and has 2 pillows on each bed. Staff are courteous and friendly. The water pressure in the room is good for a shower and you have hot shower. However, the hotel is not too close to the main street which you have to take 10 minutes to walk to main junction. Overall assessment is comfortable and the concierge staffs are friendly and professional.

Was a good stayed. Everything so nice, could sleep well. The room was so huge. I didn't expect having that good deal, thanks Trip. Com, but hopefully Luxio will improving their potential to the greater good. Thank you.
