Tasik Ria Resort  

Nestled on Sulawesi’s coast in Pineleng, about 12 km (roughly 30 minutes) from Manado, this family-run dive resort sits between city sidewalks and tropical reefs. It’s conveniently close to Bunaken National Park for world-class diving and sunset sessions by the sea.

Warm, simply styled rooms come with a TV, mini-bar and private shower, set among palm-fringed gardens and sea-facing views. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly vibe with spacious boats for day trips and hospitality rooted in 20+ years of local experience.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, unwind in the spa, sauna or massage room, or join the on-site diving club and boats to Bunaken. There’s a BBQ area, garden, bar and café on the grounds—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and end the day with poolside drinks.

Wi-Fi is available in rooms and public areas. The resort also offers a 24-hour front desk, concierge services, parking, elevator access, currency exchange and on-site laundry/dry cleaning.

An on-site restaurant serves a mix of European and Indonesian cuisine, with weekly BBQs and à la carte options. Grab a drink at the bar or café, or order room service after a day of diving.
