Meridian Adventure Dive

Did all my scuba diving courses through the resort and it was an excellent experience to see such amazing nature with a brilliant, confident and safe dive team. The resort is an lovely getaway from the world.

Not much a scuba diver but wow I must say this place got me hooked on to snorkelling, the underwater life is second to none, the paddle boarding safaris are unlike anything I have ever experienced, I was fully immersed in nature and everything was a breeze after I got my balancing right on the boards, The hotel staff made me feel at home right away. I will definitely come back , can't wait to bring the kids!

The first impression arrived at Meridian adventure dive Waisai - Raja Ampat was greeted with friendly hospitality by the Frontliner, they welcomed us like a king, who upheld a sense of professionalism. So we felt like we were at home. Continue to improve for hotel front office employees, we are very satisfied with the service. We really hope to return to Meridian for our next vacation.

Upon arrival at Meridian Adventure Dive Resort, you can immediately feel the craft the owners put into the resort. The rooms are small, yet functional (you won't be in there for long as there is much to do above and below water). The staff was super helpful and not intrusive. Best diving in the world, hands down! Thanks to JP, the dive instructor, who guided me through a PADI diving refresher course. What a man! The resort features areas perfect for end of the day relaxation, like the mangrove deck that I really enjoyed! The food and drinks can be pricy, but I was willing to pay for the luxury of drinking an ice cold beer after a full day of activities. P.S Paddleboarding is a must!

I absolutely loved staying at this resort and the diving was amazing! The staff are friendly, helpful and very professional. On arrival, I was met at the ferry by their driver Wawan who carried my bags and took me to the resort. The receptionists then showed me to my room and I quickly got settled in. The rooms are really nice with AC and the best quality linen!! The resort also has the nicest restaurant with a really a good menu (the burgers are amazing), and it has a pool where I spent many hours sipping on cocktails. Then the diving -- this was incredible!! The staff were amazing and informative, the dive equipment was of the highest quality, the dive boats are super cool, and ofcourse the dive spots were incredible! We saw so many different types of fish, and I even saw the Wobbygong shark and watched these BIG Manta Rays from below. If you love diving -- Then this is definitely the way to do it in Raja Ampat. Go Meridian Adventure Dive! You have an incredible resort!

The general cleanlines are great, the price affordable with excellent service from the staff, the staff really great , you will get the best diving experience in the world ! I will return to this resort again ....

The diving was really good, with attentive staff and high class equipment. Great marine experience in good and caring professional hands. Hotel was very nice, not very big rooms, but clean and comfortable, a bit more like European style. Everything worked well. Restaurant offered European style food with local twist. The pool was lovely, and so were the drinks. The shore was more for boats, we did not swim in the sea from the shore, but instead concentrated in marvellous diving trips with speed boats. Nothing to complain, only some problems in the end of our stay when the credit card payment was difficult as lines were just not working. Hotel in the end was also able to get this sorted, so a big thank you for our lovely stay & diving with you.

We came to Waisai to look for the Birds of Paradise, and stayed at the Meridian Adventure Dive Resort. As it happens we had already seen the birds, so we went to the Blue River (Kali Biru) instead - Great trip, beautiful spot. The resort was a welcome retreat from the “real” Indonesia - which is just outside the gate. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the AC was very good. It is pricey but it felt good. The staff were terrific. They let us have a late check-out so we could have lunch and shower before the 2:00pm ferry. - Thanks.

We stayed at the Meridian Adventure Dive resort for 6 nights. The resort is quite nice, although the rooms are rather small considering the high price. The breakfasts start early allowing you time to eat before the morning dives. Breakfasts are large with good menu options and delicious. The prices of food and drinks at the resort is really high for Indonesia. Unfortunately, it rained part of the day for all 6 days that we were there but it was the rainy season so to be expected. We went on 16 dives while we were there. The dive equipment was excellent as were the dive masters and staff, which was why we had chosen this resort. They all did whatever they could to ensure you had amazing dive experiences. One of the dive masters, Kathy was wonderful, professional kind and caring. She was a wonderful welcome for us to the resort. The dive master with the crazy hair, sorry cannot remember his name, was also wonderful. He could spot the largest and smallest of marine life instantly. The corals and marine life were spectacular. We went to a different dive site on all 16 dives. We would definitely recommend this place.

Meridian Resort is a well run resort with a high level of cleaniness. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and always willing to help with any queries. Rooms are comfortable and functional though not overly large (the room we had anyway) but plenty big enough for us. The rooms get cleaned daily. The included breakfast was nutritious and filling for the days activities and the wait staff very professional and friendly. The pool area is nice, few comfortable seats and right near the bar as well. Also have an outdoor area over looking the water. We did 4 dives with them and the dives are very well organised, the equipment is well maintained and the boats comfortable. The dives guides are professional, friendly and help spot all the interesting creatures to be found. The resort can help organise other activities as well although we used the local tourist office for a lot of our other activities. The only downside we felt was the cost of food and drink at the onsite restaurant. We felt it was quite expensive compared to what you pay at a local eatery/restaurant in town. We walked into town every afternoon for our evening meal and paid 25/30 000 IDR for Nasi Goreng for example. It is about a 30/40 min walk into town or you could share a taxi if there is a group of you 100 000 for a taxi each way. Otherwise we had a great stay and would recommend it. Totally professional. comfortable and well run.
