Vacation rentals in Waisai

We had a lovely time staying at Wainay Homestay. The cabins and bathrooms are very basic but functional and comfortable. The cabins are right on the sea with a lovely view, extremely peaceful, and a short walk away from several diving centres. We had electricity and working fans from 6pm till midnight as is typical in the area, and slept comfortably every night. Food was always plentiful, varied and delicious. Faruk was responsive and helpful, and he speaks excellent English. The family who live and take care of the area are also lovely and kind. They even took us on snorkelling trips a few times, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful water life. It's not luxury however it was a wonderful experience sleeping to the sound of waves and waking up to beautiful views.

We really enjoyed the stay at the Eco Lodge. Adecya was very welcoming and caring. I wanted to mention how flexible they were with a flight that changed so we could cancel one night at the last minute and get a full refund for this night without hesitation even if this is not included in the cancellation policy. The food they cook is amazing and they were very adaptive to my special needs (allergies and health conditions). We also had some last-minute ideas for trips, and they were always available, making everything possible (even last-minute meal prep for lunch on a day trip!) and we got fresh Aloe Vera from the garden for our sunburn. The bungalow is amazing the house reef is wonderful and everything is clean and well taken care of. Thank you very much for hosting us! We had a wonderful time! Termia Kasih

This place is a gem in Raja Ampat. We loved the secluded bungalows set back in the foliage behind a private beach. As a family of four we took up both bungalows and loved sitting on the terraces enjoying the view and eating the delicious food, all lovingly prepared and presented. The staff were so friendly and attentive and would make delicious packed lunches to take with us if we were out for the day. The beds were so comfortable and the bathrooms clean and well appointed, even with hot water. We had such a wonderful end to our trip staying here and it was easy to get to from Waisai.

The resort is paradise, and we were treated exceptionally by the whole team at Papua Paradise. The staff made our stay exceptional, with everyone so kind and going the extra mile for us, and the majority of staff from Indonesia as well. It’s very private, with each lovely bungalow set over the water where you can sit and watch the tides come in and out and all kinds of marine life around you, with the jungle right behind. The sustainable ethics of the resort are great - the wood is sourced sustainably and there are various efforts (we saw, there are likely many more!) to keep plastic use down like our own refillable water bottles and use of eco detergents in washing. The team were happy to accommodate a late check out for us and the advice they gave was much appreciated as well. The snorkelling trips were incredible, with our guide showing us new things all the time and making sure we had a great time. The reefs are in amazing condition and we hope that Raja Ampat will stay protected!
