Thalassa Dive & Wellbeing Resort Manado

I would have given everything 5 stars had it not been for the power outage - which isn't the resort's fault, but it did hamper the chance for me to experience the resort at its best. The 2 days of power outage was unbearable for me, no AC no lights (we had to use torches provided by the resort) and I was manually fanning myself with my cap while trying to fall asleep haha. But other than this factor, the resort is in a nice part of the forest where you'll really experience the nature (even when showering because of the open shower!). I thought the service was great - staff were polite and friendly; Arjen the main host, was very helpful and friendly as well! The food was good, alternating between local flavours and western cuisine. All in all, a great stay overall - I'm sure it would be even better if there was normal electricity to better see the property with proper lights! :)
