"A wonderful vacation, 100 out of 10 😁 The photos don't do justice to the beauty of the lodge and the surrounding area. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind. Everyone is on point, thank you to everyone. The food is delicious and plentiful. The beach is gorgeous for swimming. The excursion to Pianemo was very impressive. It was spotlessly clean. The boat transfer was excellent and comfortable. The cottages overlooked the ocean. It was beautiful and cozy, quiet, and lovely. We highly recommend it. We're currently staying at a lodge that's twice as expensive, and the comparison favors the Dive Lodge."

"Such a beautiful place! The accommodation provides everything we needed, comfy beds with mosquito nets and a nice terrace with a hammock and perfect view. You can start snorkeling just in front of your hut and the wildlife is amazing. Just take a look at the tides and the currents before you go out. Also they have a small boat that we could borrow and explore the area. That was fun, too. The toilets and showers were good. There are 4 meals included and it was one of the best food we had during our time in Raja Ampat. Super tasty local food and sometimes freshly baked cake, just yum! Great place, we would definitely come back!"

"Diving in Raja Ampat is amazing as is, Meridian provides the highest quality boats around Waisai that will take you out to the dive sites quickly. The rooms might be small but nice, the resort is clean and well maintained, same goes for dive gear. The food in the restaurant is great and all staff are very friendly."

"The room facilities were average, but the three meals included were a pleasant surprise, with different meals every day. The environment was excellent, especially the hotel's private swimming pool, which connects directly to the sea and has many small fish and even a small pond. It was wonderful!"

"Stayed here with friends and family. We had booked 3 water villas for 1 night to get to know Raja Ampat. The resort is a fifteen minute drive from the boat, coming from Sorong. When you arrive you have a small reception and a coffee bar. If you walk through you will find a large swimming pool and a few houses around it. If you walk further you will go via a footbridge towards the water. The route through the mangroves. Eventually you will arrive at the water villas located on both sides of a jetty. The villa is spacious enough, but the bathroom is small. The villa has air conditioning and a fan. Unfortunately no fridge. The bed is comfortable and big enough for someone like me (1.92). At the end of the jetty there is a modest diving center. At the beginning of the jetty is the terrace / restaurant. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served there. This is included. However, only water is served, which is in large bottles on the buffet almost all day long. The result is warm water at the end of the day. Furthermore, you have to go back to the reception to get cans of soda there. No alcohol is served. Furthermore, it is deserted in the evening, without the possibility to have a drink. I found that a pity. Furthermore, a beautiful location with beautiful photo moments"

"I stayed in one of the over water cabins which are perfect to listen to the waves and watch sunsets on your own terrace. The cabins are simple but there is everything you need, even an AC. Don't get confused if the resort's website isn't working, they can provide all the information by email. They can arrange all the transfers from Sorong airport to make the arrival smooth. This is a perfect place to have amazing diving vacations. The best dive sites in Central Raja Ampat are only 10-15 minutes boat ride away. Gabi the dive guide is very professional and takes you to see amazing underwater life. With my 500+ dive experience my top 5 list for the best dive sites is: Five Rocks, Chicken reef (Kri Island), Blue Magic, Sardine reef and Mioskon. The resort is a great place for bird watchers as well and they can arrange bird guides and tours. All the staff are always happy and polite. Esra the customer relations officer and translator takes great care of everyone. He is always happy to help you with everything. Because you can't buy anything from the resort, for example candies or beverages, Esra will arrange you anything you need from local shops. Be aware that all alcohol is prohibited on the property. The resort serves absolutely amazing halal food. It is simple and delicious. The breakfast is around 7 am, the lunch at noon and the dinner at 7 pm. I strongly recommend this place for everyone who wants to spend a quiet and super relaxed vacation and just enjoy the beauty of this lush island."

"Waisai town is quite primitive but Rifalda Cottages provides a fantastic budget option with first world amenity! It is close to port so convenient for first/last day of liveaboard boat trip. Ignore the smashed front sign of the road! Things much better inside the compound with a quiet garden area. Each stand-alone cottage is spacious, well lit, insect-proof, with drinking water fountain and clean tiled bathrooms with hot water. Amazing effort to provide all this under such primitive conditions!"

"For one night to sleep out the Jetlag ist nice. Clean room with comfy bed, warm shower and water, coffee and tea for free. Breakfest is simple, some Toast, omlet and Nougat Creme. Nice Garden."

"The hotel was very comfortable and was very comfortable and very comfortable. I can only recommend this hotel. If I have the chance to return to Wai, I will return there without hesitate"
