Cocotinos Manado

We adored our time in Cocotinos, so much so that when a different part of our North Sulawesi trip fell through, we immediately went to book again at Cocotinos. The food is good and varied (Western, Indonesian, everything is well-made and available), the staff are sweet and polite and thoughtful, the dive shop and crew are solid, and the grounds + garden + pool + beach + rooms are all clean, in perfect shape, and welcoming.

Stayed twice - once at the start of the visit to North Sulawesi, and again when plans changed and we needed a last-moment place to return to. Cocotinos was an easy place to want to book again - super super friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms, a nice small environment. We used the spa once (excellent), and went on several dive and snorkeling trips with the friendly and competent and safe team at the dive center. Food is good with both Indonesian and international favorites.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff both on the resort and diving center were extremely helpful, and provided a professional service with a smile. The bungalows are tastefully decorated and in good condition. The garden, restaurant, pool area... everything works well. The diving in the area is as good as it gets. Even snorkling you can get really close to the marine life.

The relative quiet of this location - After coming from Tomohon it was such a relief. Very nice room - really gorgeous. Sea view and so nicely done.

We liked everything! Very friendly stuff, beautiful room, very big bed, nice pool, good food with lovely decorations, stuff always helped with everything, very quiet place. We would come back anytime!
