Kura Kura Resort

A wonderful place, an island with a precious treasure, the structure, the nature, the sea, the staff, their welcome with that smile that warms your heart, and what about the cuisine and the truly delicious dishes. The excursions that take you to visit the surrounding islands and the beauties under the sea are breathtaking. A dream that came true.

We stayed in this splendid resort in October with my daughter, my sister and some friends, we stayed in a Family pool Villa and what can I say? A daydream. From the moment you arrive you feel pampered by the always present and smiling staff, the resort is truly beautiful, elegant but welcoming, perfectly maintained and clean. Excursions depart every day to snorkel and see the surrounding islands (don't miss Krakal where there are cottages where you can even spend the night alone to fully enjoy the magic of the uncontaminated island). They even provided us with shoes to walk in the lagoon, mask and snorkel (also for my daughter... and even beach toys for her). The island is a true oasis of peace, nature envelops you and the crystal clear sea allows you to fully enjoy the wonders of the seabed, they have various eco-sustainability projects and you can really feel the integration of the resort into the natural habitat. Finally, for everything it offers and for the level of the place, in my opinion, the quality/price ratio is excellent!

We spent part of our honeymoon at the Kura Kura resort. I love the sea, so for me it was truly finding myself in paradise. In any case it is not a place for everyone, it is an immersion in nature with everything that can result from it (a few insects here and there and a little attention to the corals). In any case, as soon as you arrive on site you will be offered the opportunity to use the masks and shoes made available to the facility. The rooms are well set up, the only flaw is that upon entering the resort you are offered two water bottles so you can use the water present in the bottles in the rooms, a whole explanation is given about the environment and that plastic is not used on the island, then you enter the bathroom and there are all the amenities (combs, toothbrushes, etc.) wrapped in plastic, in the past I have also seen "ecological" toothbrushes, it would have been very pleasant to find them in this resort too. Our room did not have slippers and bathrobes, only the classic towels are provided. The staff is WONDERFUL, they are mainly young people between 20 and 30 years old, natives of Indonesia, they always smile and are always cheerful, they make the place even more magical. We arrive at the sore point relating to excursions. It is clear that the management's objective is to offer the greatest number of excursions possible, and they are particularly heavy in insistently proposing them... We did three, the first was included in the honeymoon and consisted of go slightly offshore and snorkel, the second time, we were asked to do the first scuba dive of our lives, the director made us do a test dive in the pool and then made us dive in the coral reef. The dive lasted about 20 minutes compared to the agreed 30, and the cost was double what you could pay in Italy by doing a dive from a boat. However it was a wonderful experience. The third and final excursion on the last day was very negative. In the past I have also done 20-day sailings on a motorized boat, I'm not a sailor, but I notice whether the situation is appropriate to the context or not. The excursion consisted of reaching an uninhabited islet about 1 hour away by navigation and spending the day there. From afar I noticed that there was a bit of wind and the sea was rough but I wanted to trust, making a huge mistake. As soon as we leave the port we notice that, being in the ocean, even with a little wind, a wooden boat with a 20hp engine is completely unsuitable for dealing with such a situation! Especially in the afternoon, the sea became more rough and my wife was about to have a panic attack. It would have been enough to use one of the cabin boats available with larger engines. The feeling we had was very bad, it felt like

Kura Kura is a small paradise hidden in the Karimunjawa archipelago, Java Sea, Indonesia. I got there thanks to my hyper-specialized travel agency in South East Asia. I traveled alone, I was afraid of getting bored on the island....I had so much fun! The director, an Italian from Rome (the mayor of Kura Kura....) is very pleasant and always available. Thanks Sandro you're super! Fantastic excursions with the dive manager who explains everything to you perfectly. Unique restaurant guys. And what about food with a la carte service? The best, I also gained weight from eating hot bread and focaccia. Amazing fruit. In short, I highly recommend it even to singles like me....you will NOT miss anything in Kura Kura! I hope to return next summer. I left my heart there....and then I want to check if the coconut I planted has grown....that's like a little son....

Siamo stati qui 5 gg , cercavamo un momento di relax dopo un bel tour … ha superato di gran lunga le mie aspettative! Personale super gentile, perfetta cura dei dettagli, si mangia bene … anche per noi Italiani! Sandro, il Direttore, é stato sempre super gentile e premuroso nei nostri confronti, anche in un nostro momento di difficoltà ha trovato il modo di darci una mano e fortunatamente é stato di grande aiuto… grazie Sandro! Comunque le camere sono molto grandi, pulite regolarmente ogni mattina. Ci sono escursioni da fare, principalmente per snorkeling e diving (anche per i principianti) visto che c’è una bella barriera corallina. Non c’è animazione, non essendo un villaggio turistico… per fortuna… volevamo proprio quello che abbiamo trovato!!! Puro relax! Grazie di cuore a tutto il personale del Kura Kura resort! Torneremo molto volentieri!
