THE FOOD

Indonesian cuisine is a blend of many cultures originating from all corners of the globe. Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Middle Eastern and British influences can be seen and tasted in much of the present day food. Sitting at your table on Cha-Cha big verandah, you will experience Reiko's personal and creative recipes, which have conspired to add up to a world of pleasure for the culinary adventurer. Early in the morning, before your diving day starts, the menu is set, with such variety to suit most everyone. Guests with special requirements can be catered for by prior arrangement. A small bar is available for the purchase of refreshments including local beer and spirits and fresh fruit juices.

THE STAFF

Raphael and Reiko, owners of the Resort have been living at Cha-Cha since 1999, since they purchased a piece of land on the northeastern side of Bunaken Island itself.
"The concept of Bunaken Cha Cha Nature Resort & Spa is very simple: firstly it is our home and not only a place of work and due to its size we know that we can give attention to detail trying to achieve what many people can only dream of."

Raf and Reiko together with a team of local staff insure a memorable stay.
