Cheap hotels in Yennanas Besir

My Stay at Friwen Mangrove Eco Lodge – Highlights Perfect Location: * Right in front of Friwen Wall, one of Raja Ampat’s top snorkeling spots. * A short walk to a stunning secret beach on Friwen Island. * Across from a small island where you might spot dugongs during early morning high tide. Comfortable & Eco-Friendly: * Overwater bungalows with private balconies—wake up to breathtaking sunrises. * 24/7 electricity powered by solar panels. * Starlink Wi-Fi for reliable internet, even in this remote paradise. * No mosquitoes during our January visit! Amazing Food: * Delicious meals prepared by a talented Malaysian chef—every dish was superb. Outstanding Hospitality: * Rachid, the host, went above and beyond, even snorkeling with us to show hidden gems. we dived with Corepen Dive and Tarzan Divers. We much MUCH preferred Corepen Dive people that came to pick us up, were friendly and knowledgeable and accommodated our desires. We disliked Tarzan Dive Center which is more like a factory where the owners and her crew were just bored to death on each dive ( with the exception of the charming Merilla). Verdict: Friwen Mangrove Eco Lodge is a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and eco-conscious comfort. Highly recommend!

The homestay is idyllic and secluded. We were right on the water, the porch is nicely decorated, there's a table and chairs so in the evenings we could easily play cards. In the day, if we weren't diving with Corepen (they come and collect you and drop you off), we would snorkel on the coral reef in front of the homestay which is fantastic! We saw a turtle, ray, squid, clown fish, a shark etc. All three meals are included and Lina's cooking is amazing. We would eat fresh fish everyday. Portion size is very generous so you won't be going hungry. Lina and Arnes are so kind and gentle hosts we couldn't recommend this more. Their English is very limited so just make sure you download a translator app if you don't have data (there's no WiFi). The amenities are basic and you get electricity from around 6:30pm-10:30pm but for us, this only added to its charm. When we passed other homestays, we were always grateful for picking Efenli.

The homestay is really nice! It’s by the beach and you have lots of corals just in front. The food is excellent :) The family is very welcoming and nice I highly recommend :)

I spent a wonderful week here, every minute was an experience. Every single employee is incredibly kind and helpful, the area is beautiful. I would come back anytime without a second thought! Thank you everyone

Very nice and helpful staff, good food. They can also help arrange trips for snorkeling or bird watching. Big rooms, air-con and fan 24/7. Many birds in the resort area also.

This Homestay has such lovely bungalows and lots of space to relax. My bungalow looks like a bungalow a resort! And it was very comfy, provided a lot of places to hang things which is very helpful for the divers. The shower and toilets were clean enough. All the staff don’t really speak English but they are all very kind. Mario always responded on time and he provided the wayag trip at the most reasonable price. Thank you so much for making my wish to wayag come true.

Staff, location, facilities all were excellent. Food is fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend. Staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and organise any activities you want. Lodge itself is beautiful with great design and views. Coral reef just outside rooms is amazing for snorkeling. Amazing place to stay in Raja Ampat

Hosted by Mama Julia and Kk Mothy, we had an incredible experience at shady homestay for two days. Arrived on Tuesday afternoon, Julia and Mothy picked us up at Waisai. Storm was raging but they prepared everything so our big bags were not wet. Even though waves were very high, Timothy mastered ocean and found our way through the waves. We were then welcomed by the rest of the family with a delicious tea time and snorkeled in front of the homestay, lost in the small satellite islands around Gam island. The place is peaceful, quiet, and extremely beautiful in the middle of nowhere in the Raja Ampat : a Lunar experience. On Wednesday, Timothy and Julia organized us a fabulous daytrip around Gam Island between Sawingrai village, light water, labyrinth mangroves, magical reefs, caves, view points, snorkelings, painted hands geopark famous site, hidden bays, beach walk, coconut… everything was perfect and made very friendly and warm welcoming by Julia, and very fun with Timothy’s talents to drive the boat as a sports car driver in tight ways and hard turnovers ! We left on Thursday after another little trip with Timothy for a batcave and snorkeling morning. We saw everything with them : lots of reef fishes and bigger fishes, manta, dolphins, blacktop sharks, turtles … and even the rarest and endemic Wobbegong shark. What made the experience different and fantastic is the kindness of this whole family working together and making everything seem effortless and great even though it could be hard work for them. Shady Homestay is THE PLACE TO BE for visiting Gam island with the fun experience on board with Timothy and the warm welcome and comfort of the delicious food provided by Julia and their family. THANK YOU SO MUCH. We will definitely come back.

This homestay on Besir island is ideally located near several interests spots in Raja Ampat. The place is calm, only two cabins on the water, connected to a village full of charm. The utilities are on the beach, near the owner's house. It's very clean and has everything required to answer basic needs. Regarding the rooms, mosquito net on the bed, fan, electricity at night, blankets, hammock, sunbed and basic furnitures. All the meals (included in the reservation) are served to your cabin, they vary and are prepared by an great cook! So everything is tasteful and good. No connection except if you get a SIM card on arrival at Sorong's airport but deconnection is great. It's easy to communicate with the owner who speaks well English (rare in Raja Ampat) and he tries his best for you to have the best stay possible. Him and his family are super nice and welcoming while respecting your privacy. I came with a friend and we stayed 3 full days, we had an amazing time there and we can only recommend this place. All the activities we've done through them were memorable, we had a lot of fun. Have a good holiday there!
