Kura Kura Resort

I would start with the context. A small island that can be explored in about 15 minutes, in the middle of a crystalline lagoon full of reef fish and coral spots, around which you can snorkel safely with shoes and a mask. Fine white sand, coconut palms and mangroves lap the beaches, numerous and full of sunbeds. There is no fighting to find a place in the sun! Upon arrival, the manager Sandro, from Rome, welcomes us with a general overview of the services, times, what to do and what to expect. Roberta Cecchetto, manager of Diving and Excursions, also introduces herself and invites us to go to the diving center the next day. The rooms, ours had a lagoon view, are spacious and, although basic, are very welcoming and modern with a fridge, safe, mosquito net and a beautiful bathroom. Remember that there is no wifi at the resort but you have to ask for a modem (for a small fee) at the reception, subject to availability. You may have to wait a few departures to have your connection! Personally, it was essential for me due to a family problem in Italy. The staff is all very young and polite, helpful and available. A very positive note to the cuisine that ranges from Indonesian dishes to international dishes and à la carte, for lunch, there are also excellent Italian proposals. Half board includes a plentiful breakfast that offers both sweet (donuts, fruit, croissants, muesli, yogurt, pancakes....) and savory (bread, eggs in all shapes...). Dinner includes a choice between 3 courses out of 4 in which each includes different choices: the main course for example offers 5 different dishes and you choose one. If you take 4 courses, the extra one will be paid for. I can assure you that 3 courses are already very very plentiful and that not only you do not suffer from hunger, but you eat really well! The Indonesian dishes are fabulous! Drinks are extra. As for Roberta Cecchetti / Diving and Excursions, this wonder woman combines practicality and competence with a lot of enthusiasm. The excursions offered are obviously linked to the sea and they are wonderful. The reef is pristine everywhere and there are, just below the surface, immense coral gardens of all types, where thousands of colorful fish swim. With a mask and snorkel you can already see everything! Warm water and therefore snorkeling at ease, even for 45 minutes / 60. The accompanying guys are very attentive and reliable. I did 3 dives, together with my husband, 2 with Roberta and one with a local dive master. I thank Roberta who gave me the refresher (I hadn't dived for many years) and who accompanied me by the hand, every time I didn't feel safe. Surely the island, a destination for non-mass tourism, allows you to receive a lot of attention, in an uncontaminated naturalistic environment. The Spa didn't drive me crazy, the girl I had for the massage, comparing the type of massage to a similar one done in another structure during the trip, didn't

English: We stayed at the Kura Kura on our way back from our trip to Japan and it was an unforgettable stay. In addition to the island where we stayed, which was absolutely fantastic, we appreciated the cleanliness and daily care that is dedicated to the maintenance of this heavenly place. Our room (if we can call it that) was also a private villa with a swimming pool, we have never found anything more fantastic!! However, the thing that struck us most was the friendliness and preparation of all the staff who speak fluent English and are equipped with a professionalism that we have rarely encountered in all our travels. In particular, we had the opportunity to speak several times with two members of the front office staff, Budy and Perez, who always proved available to support us and were also a pleasant acquaintance. During this stay we felt pampered and relaxed like we had never felt before. Even the manager Sandro was always available and available for the duration of the stay. We also cannot help but mention the cuisine served at this resort. Who would have ever imagined being able to enjoy good Italian cuisine in a place so far from our country? The chefs have in fact studied our type of cuisine and serve excellent dishes. The bread and pasta are also “homemade” daily. Kura Kura was a very pleasant discovery that we will definitely recommend to anyone who wants to travel to Indonesia. Chiara and Luca
