Raja Ampat, Southwest Papua hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent seaside resort at a reasonable price. Great service!"

"This is an excellent full-service dive lodge. They meet you at Sorong airport and escort you to, on and off the ferry to Wasai, then bring you to the lodge in their boat. Staff is very attentive and professional. Rooms are well kept with a/c and private decks and 20 feet from an excellent reef. Food is well-prepared. And most important their dive boats, equipment and staff were excellent. A great place to explore the Raja Ampat reefs and dive locals. "

"Simple hotel in the heart of town. Five min walk to food and cafes. Run by the sweetest couple. "

"Dilapidated. Had to ask for towels. Burning trash right outside. But at least had working AC and helpful staff."

"The staff and quality of food were excellent, "

"We only stayed for one night. We chose this hotel because it was close to the ferry and we needed to make sure we were on the morning ferry. They made sure that we had a driver pick us up, ferry tickets bought for us, and porters to help with luggage. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It even had AC! Quite a luxury. "
