Highland Resort & Nature Tours

The location is good, no aircon but it quite chilly at night and must bring the mosquito repellent. The wood dust keeps dropping to the bed, i wish there’s hair-dryer as the basic amenities.

Just loves staying at Highland Resort! Very nice and spacious bungalows in beautiful surroundings. Charlie and staff are extremely nice and helpful and all in all Highland Resort is an ideal base for exploring Minahasa area. Highly recommended!!

Some good things: wifi that works very well in the room and on the veranda, drinking water left daily in the rooms in big jugs and then available at the reception anytime (so no plastic bottles), hot water always running, nice staff that was always trying to help, location was very nice - also for bird watching, when you're planning on trips early in the morning they prepare takeaway breakfast and tumblers with coffee/tea which stay hot for many hours. Also I liked the location which was further from the centre, but you can take a local minibus (angkot) and get there fast. Also great that they make scooters available for rent. Some drawbacks: the rooms are run down, they need some maintenance. Also, inside is a bit too dark so it's great there is a veranda to sit outside. The prices of the scooters are very steep but interestingly there are not many available scooters in Tomohon so that might be your last option. Also tour prices were way too steep - we ended up just contacting local guides directly instead of taking tours from the hotel. I really don't like it when the hotel is trying to make money unreasonably. Also food wasn't that good - simple mee goreng was just served plain, without any veggies or flavour, so it's better for you to actually make sure to fill up your belly in Tomohon :)
