An enclave in paradise, created by Max Ammer, the pioneer of Raja Ampat diving. The rooms are traditional West Papua design, built out over the water, with thatched roofs and open air spaces. The build quality is first-rate, with European-style plumbing and wiring, and the facilities are well maintained. The staff, mostly locals from nearby villages, are all friendly and helpful, happy to share their piece of paradise with visitors from abroad. The diving lives up to its reputation as among the best in the world. Dive guides are locals, who know the reefs like the backs of their hands -- they know where to find special critters, and where the fish will be with different tidal conditions. If you are considering diving Raja Ampat, you can't go wrong with Papua Divers. One caution, however -- the resort shuts down all diving from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, in recognition of the Sabbath, so plan your trip accordingly! - Sourced from Google Reviews

We loved staying here, all the dives were super well organised and the staff were always so cheerful & friendly. The nature we saw on land and in the water was simply divine, at times we were overwhelmed with where to look when diving because there was just so much to see! Turtles…an incredible variety of shoals of tropical colourful fish…small black and white tip sharks…and a spectacular array of hard and soft coral on every dive. It was a great place to do a night dive as a first timer too as Kri has a house reef. Last but not least - snorkelling just off the jetty was magic too, so much sea-life a few seconds from our room! Another aspect we loved about Kri Eco Lodge was that when we first arrived we were given metal bottles to refill with water and we used them throughout our stay, given the rubbish we saw on some of the islands’ beaches, this felt exactly the right course of action for a resort. - Sourced from Google Reviews

My son and I spent 3 weeks in this wonderful place and were very satisfied. The diving spots are simply incredibly rich in species and blessed with big fish. Max Ammer's team was extremely attentive and has a good team spirit. The houses are simple in Papuan architectural style, but that's what makes the place magical. Life in the jungle with its abundance of animals is definitely not for everyone, that is also what makes this place so special. Tom, the manager of the diving center, tries to make all diving wishes come true. A clear recommendation from us. - Sourced from Google Reviews
