Hotels in Waisai with Swimming Pools

Nestled close to Waisai and boasting a private harbor, Meridian Adventure Scuba Dive Resort & Marina offers a blend of modern comforts and convenience. Here's a closer look at what sets this resort apart: Hospitality & Cuisine: The staff's warm hospitality sets a welcoming tone, complemented by a delightful breakfast spread and a menu rich in options. Vegetarian meals are well-represented and the freshly cooked dishes, reasonably priced for a resort, make dining a pleasurable experience. The air-conditioned dining area adds comfort, yet the cool air stream might pose a risk for those sensitive to temperature changes. Location & Setting: Unlike other seafront resorts, Meridian Adventure stands apart with its private harbor view, a departure from the typical shoreline experience. Its proximity to Waisai and easy access via taxi or motorcycle offers a connection to the local town, although this proximity to the local population might pose a slightly higher risk for mosquito-borne diseases. Diving Experience: The dive crew's friendliness and proactive approach enhance the diving experience. The dive adventures, while well-organized and facilitated with high-tech diving boats, come with a higher price tag, especially when not bundled within a room package. Compared to many other resorts in the Raja Ampat area, the individual cost for dives might seem relatively expensive. The usage of top-tier equipment and the services provided by the crew justify the slightly elevated prices, but it's a factor to consider when planning a diving-focused stay. However, unlike some other resorts, the presence of fewer local guides and more Western guides might alter the experience for some divers. The amenities during diving breaks are slightly limited compared to other options in the area. Overall Experience: Positioned between two different experiences in the area, Meridian Adventure Scuba Dive Resort & Marina offers a safe and comfortable stay with good food and modern amenities. However, it differs from the serene solitude found in shorefront island resorts. The room sizes might be smaller, but they're modern, catering to those seeking a more connected, albeit less isolated, experience.
