We were backpacking and diving around Indonesia for 3 weeks and Blue EmOcean was one of the big highlights of our trip. Everything about the resort exceeded expectations, and we were very sad to leave this tiny paradise. The hospitality, problem solving and organizing skills of Anne and Andrew (+Frankie, Dottie and lovely staff) helped us greatly and it was truly a one of a kind experience to visit Moyo. Underwater we asked ourselves "How is it possible, that we are the only 3 divers in these beautiful locations filled with healthy [if not the healthiest!] corals and an insane amount of fish?" and on land I asked myself "How did I become a Disney prince/princess on a small island, surrounded with a deer, a dog, cats, water buffalos, cockatoos and monkeys and why is everyone keep talking about princess Diana and these special waterfalls?". Hopefully we can come back soon💙

Everything we needed! You will never regret booking a room here. We felt very welcomed the moment we arrived and our whole stay on the island was am adventure we will never forget. From diving in this beautiful lively part of the ocean, visiting the waterfalls to stay staying and relaxing at the beautiful hotel and.enjoying their amazing food- we just loved it all! Andrew, Anne and their staff are amazing and help you with everything. You really can feel their poor their heart in it! We will never forget our dive at "Rocktopussi" 😋

Nothing to complain!

Our hosts at Blue Emocean, Andrew and Anne, are a credit to the tourism industry in Indonesia, from their ongoing efforts to mitigate any negative impacts that come with running a resort through to their restoration work on the local environment, and their commitment to promoting sustainability whereever possible. Their pets Frank the young rescue deer, Dotty the miniature dachshund and Meow the cat provided much humor. The resort is in a stunning location, about fifty minutes stroll or a short motorbike ride from the village and port. A great place to relax and forget all about the stresses of life back home. The availability of cold beers was much appreciated. Various tours including diving, snorkeling and waterfall trips can be arranged by Andrew and Anne, or you can snorkel out in front of the resort.

Our room was very spacious and well furnished, but the mattresses on the twin beds were firmer than ideal.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything so much we booked a few more days to take on all on offer and to really enjoy the peace and tranquillity. With small kids we had test days between the adventures on land & sea. Moyo has a lot to offer and Andrew & Anne are delightful, helpful & super informed hosts marshalling a kind and friendly staff at the kitchen where we all ate & drank happily. The house reed is excellent & they’re landscaping a beautiful garden around the pool & acconidation. Best if all is the whole place is built under the shade of tropical trees with the jungle right behind. This provides enough shade is the ocean breezes drop which thankfully for us, did not during our stay. Many thanks again & we will be back.

Not much really.

Everything! There is so much love to find in the details. They’re still rebuilding so I can only guess what this place will look like in a few months. It is very secluded and quiet. Sometimes no electricity but if you’ve ever been traveling to a remote area you should expect it. And it’s actually a nice digital detox! We were able to go on scooter by ourselves but if you don’t feel confident to do so there will always be somebody who takes you because there is no actual road. We always are at the restaurant and Anne were very sweet trying to adjust the dishes to my needs since I can’t have everything. This was helping a lot and quite a luxury to not have to live by fried things only. I truly recommend going there! I already missed it when I hopped onto the ferry back to the mainland. I really want to go back!

Blue EmOcean was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. Andrew and Anne were responsive to our enquiries from initial booking and very helpful in arranging transport to the accommodation. Staff made seeing the sights very easy with adventures to waterfalls, nearby snorkelling spots and island trips, for a fair price. Blue EmOcean is located a couple of kms north of the nearest village, immediately on the beach with a pristine coral reef, a garden full of beautiful endemic butterflies, monkey visitors in the early morning and a resident deer and sausage dog. The restaurant had great vegetarian options on the menu, with consistently high quality and delicious meals. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet with high quality sheets and beautiful furnishings. I would highly recommend Blue EmOcean to anyone considering a trip to Moyo, you will be wonderfully looked after and enjoy one of the most beautiful and remote corners of the world.

Our room had a minor issue with ants in the bathroom. The aircon was not very effective, this wasn't a problem as the weather was mild.

Andrew has embarked on a passion project to bring this resort back from the almost dead and you can’t but admire the effort and ambition (and investment and sweat to do so). Moyo is already hard to get to, the motorbike from the jetty is 5km of diminishing quality and increased excitement (or anxiety depending on your mindset) but the remote pay off worth it - small pool, cold beer, nice food, great rooms (with gecko), private jetty and house reef, dive trips arranged, some kit available too.

As grown ups no one expects to be entertained or mollycoddled but need to be informed and that balance wasn’t quite there, unsurprisingly given how much there is to do to get the place up and functioning. Am sure this will change especially when dive boat fixed so a word to the wise is to be more inquisitive as to what the art of the possible is in this wonderful remote location wrt diving, snorkelling and also terrestrial options.

We loved everything about Blue Emocean. The ambience, the setting, sooo peaceful and relaxing. Staff were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious. Loved Frankie the delightful deer; Dotsie the darling Daschund and Meow the magnificent mother-to-be. Our wonderful hosts were first class.

I think would be good to have water in the rooms. Air Conditioning wasn't fabulous, seemed a bit warm but not really a problem. Nothing was a drama, such a lovely chilled place.

The setting is magic. Relaxed, easy going, a secluded spot in a virgin island. Service was great and food was outstanding. Snorkeling was great just in front of the property and the excursion to the waterfall was unique. We also had the chance to make a whale shark trip in the Saleh bay. extraordinary experience where we were able to snorkel and appreciate four huge whale sharks moving elegantly among us.

The property had opened after the pandemic under a new ownership (Andrew), and a few things are still to be optimized (the pool as an example). Anyway a wonderful family stay and great value for money.

Beautiful remote paradise. For the bit more adventurous among us. Very welcome and relaxed atmosphere,beautiful surroundings, amazing reef in front of the resort, most (child)friendly staff, really good food and a pet dog, cat and deer around all day. We would love to come back one day.

Keep in mind the challenges that a remote place like this pose, not everything works all the time. But staff is on it.
