Hamueco Raja Ampat Dive Resort

Fantastic location. Super friendly and accommodating staff. The owner was in town and dives with us. Just sensational

The hotel and tours are expensive so I guess we should be receiving somethings complimentary for the expensive price tag, but I'm wrong. The resort manager jumps at every oppurtunity to charge us more.nnWe wanted to go snorkelling and he said they can provide us with snorkelling masks, flippers and life jacket. And then we we checked out, we were surprised that it wasn't free and he didn't tell us beforehand. We could have decided between ourselves if we could accomodate the cost or not.nnMy vacation was shorter compared to my friends so I had to check out earlier. I said I needed transportation to go to the airport, and the hotel manager said he could take us there. I had a motorbike as transportation. The next day when my friend checked out, he also needed transportation to the harbor and he got a car ride. He was surprised to see that both our airport rides were chargeable and the resort manager didn't inform us beforehand. We could have rented regular motorbike ride outside the resort which was cheaper.nnFood was included in the accomodation, so when I checked out early, my friend decided that he invite his local friend for dinner. It should be free too because I booked a 3 nights stay but I left 1 night early, so I am entitled to 3 dinners. Our invited guest just ate the dinner that was supposed to be mine. Again, we were surprised, that the resort manager included our guest's dinner in our bill. We argued that we paid for it so he wrote it off. But it's annoying none the less.nnFor the hotel itself, there were a lot of mosquitoes biting us. The bathroom and showers were too basic and dirty. It's painful to walk barefoot because of all the rocks. The garbage can is close to the showers and I smelled used diapers as I showered. They didn't provide soaps or shampoos. The food is traditional indonesian food. Sometimes you get delicious food and sometimes it's just average.nnFor the expensive bill, I expected something nicer. And our dishonest, profit-centered resort manager made it worse by adding so much hidden charges to our bill. We had lots of problems footing the bill for this so-so resort. Please avoid this resort!

Very recommended if you looking for a quiet atmosphere. Friendly staffs and they also offer reasonable tour packages.

Awesome place to stay. The only thing that was missing was a blanket, so bring a sarong.

Awesome place to stay in raja ampat, friendly staff, and the owner is very nice
