Location notes
- Kri Island, Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The authenticated submission specifies remote beach accommodation on Kri Island; the current accommodation page also identifies Kri.
- Arrival guidance is to fly domestically to Sorong, take the Sorong-Waisai ferry, then transfer by speedboat or longboat from Waisai. The website describes a two-hour ferry crossing and advertises 09:00 and 14:00 departures both ways daily; schedules and conditions need reconfirmation.
- Raja Ampat uses Eastern Indonesia time, GMT+9.

Property policies
- Smoking: Allowed
- Pets: Allowed
- Children: Allowed
- Events: Allowed
- Cancellation: Moderate
- Quiet hours: 22:00 to 07:00
- Booking confirmation requires a minimum 20% deposit. A booking request is held for 14 days and may be released if the deposit is not confirmed; changes after deposit are subject to availability.
- Published cancellation terms state a full refund for cancellation 30 days before arrival, a 50% cancellation fee between 30 and 20 days before arrival, and no refund less than 20 days before arrival. The exact 30-day boundary overlaps in the wording and needs confirmation.
- Guests may stay here and dive with another dive centre. Dive-only bookings have a minimum of two dives per person. The rates page requires at least 48 hours notice for non-resident diving with full equipment rental; FAQ recommends 48 hours notice, if possible, for other non-resident diving arrangements.

- A basic remote-island stay rather than a comfort-focused resort: the submitter warns that it can be very uncomfortable for some, with salty shower water and mosquitoes at night.
- Vegan-friendly catering is described. About states no TV or air-conditioning; no step-free access, wheelchair suitability or adapted facilities are evidenced.
- The operator says it offers guided fun dives but no scuba instructor. Remote access to modern hospital care is noted; obtain independent travel-health and diving-insurance advice.
- The FAQ asks guests to bring personal hygiene supplies, including a towel, toothbrush, toothpaste and soap, plus insect repellent and sun protection. This does not establish that towels are never supplied.
