part of Bunaken Island (PADI PIRA member R-34063). Accommodation at
Bastianos in traditional wooden bungalows, we have 10 Hillside cottages

tropical vegetation and most have ocean views. Our Beachfront cottages
are only a few meters from the ocean and on the longest and finest
light sand beach on Bunaken Island . Right out front of our resort is
safe for swimming and if you like to do some Snorkeling, the coral reef

beachfront bar, to watch the Sunsets and listen to some nice music. Our
side of Bunaken Island is the only side where you can watch Sunsets
from your bungalow verandah or from a beach bar. Another special thing
about this side of the island is that when you look out into the ocean,
you'll see the open ocean.
