TeraAilan Heritage Resort

I stayed here for 3 nights with a group of 21. And all of them regret that they stayed there. it was a terrible experience for me, here’s why: 1. At the first night, me and my friends lost 2 pair of sandals. Which is really disturbing experience for me, because the next day, we should go to Wayag for a hike trip. The man who manage the resort gave us 2 pair of shoes to borrow, later he bought us 2 pair of sandals. But still, it’s not a good experience for me. 2. The food is limited. only noodle, rice, and fish (sometimes it’s not fresh and didn’t cooked very well or clean), smells bad. When we ask him to provide our group another meal and will give him extra money, he refuse. He don’t want to serve us because he said, management won’t allow him. Thanks to my tourguide, we can look for another choice of food, it was delicious, and our trip was still fun. 3. The underwater near the resort is mostly sand, no coral, the beach is full of sea urchin and i spotted a woman sweep all of the trashes and plastic bags into the beach and sea. 4. No private bathroom. I think, the price is overpriced considering their service. You can pick any better homestay with lower price in waisai.

Newly built resort looks like "someone built a new resort and forgot to finish details". The furniture is new, some of them with tag or packaged. Some toilets or bathroom still out of order, but it was ok, because there were not many guests during our stay. Breakfast is so poor for 35 000 Rp, lunch and dinner are good (mostly fish and rice). Sometimes really delicious, sometimes just little piece of dry fish, but rice is ok. Furniture in the room is very simple, I dont recommend for long stay, there is just bed, two chairs and small table. No wardrobe so you have to put your clothes on the floor. Shared bathroom and terrace are still clean. In my opinion some of the staff doesnt play fair. Saonek is a nice place, quite calm, but there is nothing special to do. Local people are really likeable. My summary: TeraAilan is quite nice place, but if you want to visit and travel Raja Ampat, do snorkeling, see the nature, biodiversity of this area I would recommend to stay in another places.

Clean, great food and quite, good for family with kids. It will be good time to spend with them play sand castles or swimming. I really want back with my wife and kids. I like people at Tera really nice and helpful
