"Where luxury meets nature"
Not an empty promise!
After 2 days on arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Barbara and Chris and some of the staff at the jetty.
We immediately felt at home, a feeling of "coming home".
After a little info talk, we moved into our Ocean Villa and it almost hit us, in a positive sense. The bungalow, nestled in the mangroves, is open, spacious and furnished with great attention to detail. Much of the furniture is made from driftwood, making it unique.
unique. There was plenty of space for all belongings. The open bas is spacious and also furnished with great attention to detail. The large terrace with steps down to the water also impressed us right from the start, as did the breathtaking view. Our first thought was: this won't be the last time we stay here.
We then began to explore the resort. Pure nature and very well-kept grounds.
In the evening, on the way to the restaurant, we were accompanied by chirping crickets.
Relaxing and soothing for the soul.
Throughout our stay, we were treated to culinary, local delicacies in the restaurant.
delicacies in the restaurant. All the dishes were varied and prepared with a lot of love. The plates were decorated with different little touches each time. After all, you eat with your eyes.
There was a choice of different dishes in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening.
Chicken, fish, meat, or would you prefer veggies? Perhaps an appetizer, starter and dessert? If you wanted, you could eat a 5-course menu. Plentiful and yet no food waste. The service staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Every wish was fulfilled whenever possible.
Every day we went home satisfied to a very comfortable bed and looked forward to what we had come for: The diving
The diving center, sorry Chris, the "water sports center", has a large terrace, a lounge, an air-conditioned camera room and a separate equipment building. Each bungalow has its own
own storage space for all the equipment. After every last dive of the day, all the equipment was rinsed and carefully hung up by the staff. Before each first dive of the day, the equipment was already prepared on board. The suits were ready and you were invited to the briefing at the same time. All stress-free and with all-round service. Wonderful!
With best regards to Iksan. Questions? Thank you for no question!
Maximum boat ride to the dive site, 14 minutes from the resort. Awesome! That's why the
surface breaks took place at the resort. After the 1st TG in the morning there were always small
sandwiches, sweets and fruit. Coffee, tea or whatever else you wanted.
The dive sites themselves were carefully selected and planned by the team, depending on the current and tides. The team took into account where the divers had already been and their wishes. Each
dive site was unique and there were no other divers or boats in sight. This meant that the snorkelers could also enjoy this luxury.
The number of different diving and snorkeling sites was easily enough for our 3 week stay. If you know Indonesia's underwater world, you can also find lots of little things.
The boat crew was always there and very helpful. The dive guides are very competent and know the dive sites
the dive sites, always keeping the customer's wishes in mind. Even after so many years of diving, we were surprised with new things. Simply brilliant!
Conclusion:
We are glad that we found this small, fine resort. The small talk with the managers
managers Barbara and Chris were open, informative, very interesting, instructive and sometimes also very amusing.
The commitment of both of them, the great know-how and the tireless efforts of the entire KUSU team made our stay unforgettable. The well-being of the guests and service is a top priority here. We will therefore be able to draw on our great stay in our stressful everyday lives for a long time to come.
Kusu's slogan: "Where Luxury meets Nature" is not an empty promise. We wanted for nothing.
Unique, familiar, simply a little pearl in paradise! That's why our next trip to Kusu is already planned and we're really looking forward to seeing you again. Keep up the good work!
Terima Kasih banyak

Vielen Dank für die gute Bewertung und Ihre Zeit für einen persönlichen Kommentar.
Wir schätzen Ihr Feedback sehr.

Very nice, spacious bungalows with a view of the sunrise from the bed. The resort is very family-run. The food is fantastic. You immediately feel very comfortable and can relax.
There are over 60 different fantastic dive sites around the island.

Barbara and Christian and their team are the perfect hosts. Always approachable and they and their team lovingly look after their guests. Our bungalow was a dream with direct access to the sea and beautiful sunrises in the morning. We really enjoyed the peace and luxury combined with the nature on the island and in the water and would love to come back.

The Kusu Island Resort and its team leave nothing to be desired. The room and everything around it is simply magnificent. With great attention to detail. The best service we have ever had. The food is simply top class - nothing more needs to be said. Christian and Barbara are two people with their hearts in the right place. You just have to love them and the whole team. The underwater world is simply indescribable and full of life. There is so much to discover. Conclusion from our trip...despite the long journey, we will definitely be back!

Snorkeling on the house reef is only possible at times due to the strong current. You should bear this in mind.

Very beautiful, well-kept complex right on the water and surrounded by tropical jungle. Bungalows built entirely from natural materials and clean down to the smallest detail. Excellent service in all areas. The food was varied and very, very tasty. All in all, very close to "perfect" ;-)

Barbara and Chris have made a dream come true here and you can tell how passionate they are about Kusu Island Resort. Beautiful bungalows in which many "beach finds" have been incorporated in an imaginative way. Great. They are available around the clock and always have an open ear for guests' wishes. You have to be aware that you are here to dive and relax! Excursions are offered, but we didn't go on them - our goal was just to relax and dive. Massages are offered, these are done in the bungalow or on the terrace - wonderful. The food is tasty - absolutely sufficient (never hungry) and here too, Barbara caters to your wishes. You have to be aware that you are a long way out on an island and everything has to be brought in by boat. We really enjoyed our stay, we left relaxed and totally refreshed after 11 nights (unfortunately). Many thanks to all the good people who were always attentive and helpful. Thank you!

The resort is a dream. Very tastefully
furnished. The food is always freshly prepared. The staff are very friendly.
Barbara and Christian are very friendly.
If the journey wasn't so long, we would certainly fly to Kusu more often.

It is a beautiful place to relax and dive. The Andean dive sites were always full of life. There were no divers there apart from us. We really enjoyed that. What we didn't like so much. We have never seen so much garbage in the water.

Simply stunning.........

Room: Our confirmation said room no. 4, the KUSU link said no. 5 and we got room 8 (without a ladder to the water). We were later able to change to room 4. But it's funny, because you google and look forward to your room with access to the water.
Food: Delicious, we didn't mind that there is no buffet and you always have to decide at the previous meal what you want to eat at the next meal.
Service: nothing to complain about
Dive center: actually very good BUT: the dive guide was always at least 50 meters away. He showed us something exactly 3 times. Even after several requests to stay closer to us, his only guests, it didn't work. A great pity - especially for photographers.
Dive sites: actually very beautiful, but during our vacation time, many sites were not accessible at all due to the current and the visibility (due to all the rain) was rather average.

This was our second time at the Kusu Resort and everything was perfect again. The villas are a dream. You are well looked after by everyone.
A third time is not out of the question ????.

A paradise.
Very big thanks to Barbara, Christian and the whole team of KUSU.
We will come again, I promise :-)

(Automatically translated from German)

Christian and Barbara have created a wonderful little world in this paradise, you just have to like it. They have a soft spot for all the details, are always concerned about you and their creativity, even in the kitchen, simply leaves nothing to be desired. There was nothing that we did not like - we lived like "God in France". Just be and enjoy what is. Unforgettable!!!

The Kusu Island Resort (currently 8 guest villas) offers 100% diving pleasure and absolute relaxation. We had already "arrived" after a short time and felt very comfortable.

The villas are very quiet and have direct access to the sea via a large terrace - the view from the bed of the rising sun is magnificent.

The equipment is very functional with a lot of attention to detail and woodwork. The beautiful bathroom has a warm (open-air) outdoor shower.

Barbara and Christian have created a wonderful retreat - they are always present and dedicated to the well-being of the guests.

The staff is very nice, helpful and friendly - the service is TOP (we want to explicitly include the invisible staff in the background).

The freshly prepared food is Indonesian influenced (complemented by Barbara un Austrian moments like a very tasty Kaiserschmarrn), varied and very tasty. The lunch and dinner consists of 4 courses and the choice is vegetarian dish, fish, chicken ode beef. The full board also includes a snack and fresh fruit, which is served after the first dive, and there are delicious cakes or cookies in the afternoon.

The diving is well organized in small groups (max 4 pers/guide) and the Indonesian guides are competent and confident (above and below water).

Every day different dive sites are visited (driving time max. 30 min). The selection of the spots is done according to the expressed wishes and current conditions. The dive sites are very varied with impressive coral diversity and abundance of fish - even 'macro fans' get their money's worth.

The Kusu Island Resort can be recommended without reservation!

The diving operation must be better organized. Floor planking in the area of the diving center in indisputably bad condition.

All buildings are new and very beautiful. The furnishings are functional. Because of the own sawmill (rarely heard) and good craftsmen was possible own very elegant architecture. Both the villas and the restaurant are simply beautiful.

Being very tall, our table was too low for the chairs. Overnight, a skilled carpenter conjured up trestles to raise the table higher. Incredible - an unexpected addition to the meal.

The meals are very tasty, varied and diverse. The emphasis is on Indonesian cuisine with hints of Austrian cooking. - Kaiserschmarrn is just delicious. The next meal is announced after the previous meal. Only one table was given a menu. There are fish, chicken, beef and a vegetarian meal to choose from. Unfortunately, the tuna was served only cooked (for safety reasons). (The second resort on Kusu is also supposed to have sashimi and smoked raw tuna).

The stairs from the balcony of the villas to the sea have no handrail. The tiles in the bathroom are not slip-resistant.

In the evenings, fish waste is dumped in the sea next to the restaurant to the delight of blacktip reef sharks.

The resort does not have an alcohol license, so no cocktails are offered despite the announcement on the Internet. Ingredients to the mocktails are missing from time to time. Self-brought alcoholic beverages are processed for cocktails. There is, however, beer.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Extras must be paid for on the spot. There is no card payment. Management does not want payment in advance. (We had previously agreed this with the German representative.) Bank transfers to a European account are possible.

At Kusu Island Resort you will find absolute relaxation. All villas have direct access to the sea and a magnificent terrace with a wonderful view to relax.
The villas and the room furnishings captivate with a lot of love for woodwork which is visible in all details.
Barbara and Christian are always present and take care of everything and everyone. The staff, no matter which were always so nice and friendly and helpful.
One felt after a short time arrived and very comfortable.
The food was very good and varied.
The kitchen (and Barbara) whipped up delicious cakes and cookies every day.
Greetings to Chelin, Hen and our guide Alfian.

Back from Kusu Island we want to thank Christian, Babara very much for the
care on site. Of course it is a bit difficult to come to you, but it is the hammer. From the bed the view of the sea, very varied food, extra wishes are fulfilled, I think of the delicious birthday cake, the whole team does a great job. We can only recommend Kusu Island. Go there before it is no longer an insider tip!

I have never met a resort that has such an optimal atmosphere!
Barbara and Christian have built in years of work with much effort and taste a resort that was (structurally) on the one hand very precisely crafted from tropical wood (no-na-net) solid and then rounded off with driftwood accents targeted.
In addition, both are "busting a hump" to care for the guests in a loving family way. And Barbara also provides surprises in the kitchen with creative local and fusion cuisine each 3-4 menus to choose from, 5x meals/snacks daily.
Diving in small groups (max 4 pax/guide), every day somewhere else.
The coral variety is enormous, also the fish variety; only big fish are few - unfortunately (still?) no protected area. Current and plankton rich, but you can always find a quiet spot if you want.

Thanks again to Barbara and Christian for the personal attention throughout our stay and all the info.
Great help with our arrival when a flight was cancelled and we missed the flight that goes only twice a week. A hotel for the stopover and a ferry connection with pickup directly at the ferry was organized for us free of charge.

The Kusu Island Resort currently consists of 8 guest villas, the dive center and the restaurant. The villas are about 72sqm in size and fantastically furnished, respectively also with a dreamlike location. Very quiet and private. A maximum of double occupancy is possible. The beautiful bathroom has a warm outdoor shower. Air conditioning in the villa works great. Cell phone reception is a bit difficult on the island. There is a free data volume of 2GB per week per villa on the wifi network. However, this also works mainly in the restaurant.
Full board includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. After the 1st dive a snack and fresh fruit is served and in the afternoon there is again coffee and cake. Lunch and dinner always consist of 4 courses. The meals are freshly prepared and taste excellent. There is always a choice of vegetarian, fish or chicken/beef. Water, tea, coffee are included in the full board. Coke, Fanta, Sprite or beer must be paid extra. Here the costs are pleasantly low. As alcoholic beverages was to get at our time only a beer, because the North Moluccas are strictly Muslim.

Barbara and Christian (the two owners of Kusu Island Resort) have really created something extraordinary here. Through their warm and open manner, one immediately felt very comfortable and at home. All staff members are very friendly and helpful and made our vacation unforgettable.
