What an absolute treat to be so pampered & spoiled by a world class crew! Many thanks to all – including all those wonderful folks behind the scenes who don’t always get their curtain call. They are amazing as well. Hoping to get on a wait list so its not another 3 years… from the welcome massages, hot or cold towels to the extra excursions (cave, village visits, dancing) – I would have been super happy with just diving but they were very nice. Thank you for making my 60th Birthday very special!’

Arenui has consistency of excellence – the knowledge, enthusiasm and generosity of the tour guides and diving room captain – the captain, tender drivers, dive master, kitchen chefs & room tenders, all top notch. Hard to go on any other boat! You also have refined and generous attention to details – down to the lovely way Mario folded the napkins. Seldom have I felt so well cared for in terms of quality attention, service and products. Food & Beverage: excellent. I truly appreciate efforts made by Mario & kitchen to accommodate my Gluten Free diet. There was always plenty to eat. Love especially that there was fresh salads, fruit the entire trip. Courteous, friendly, helpful, happy – what a wonderful ‘family’ of crew you have cultivated. Its wonderful for guests on boat when the crew is well cared for and therefore content & appreciated. Guillermo has an enviable & contagious joie de vie. His considerable skill & knowledge and enthusiasm and stories are a wonderful asset as well.

Always enjoy my time on board. Staff exceptional & you can tell they have known & worked together for years. Has a family feel…. Wish there were openings less than 3 years out. Making it hard to get onboard again. More 11 night Alor trips please. Ronald the best!

Everything about the Arenui says classy while never becoming pretentious. Most important, every single crew member is friendly and kind. Food & Beverage: excellent. I may have lost weight only because the food was both healthy and tasty. Every single person is kind, and the crew are the best part of this trip, which is something considering the incredible diving. First class.

Compliments to the chefs and stewards. Meals were delicious. I was impressed with the way Mario & Kadek remembered our preferences about food and drinks. Special thanks to Herry. This was my first dive without my partner of 20 years. Herry took wonderful care of me on every dive. Also special thanks to Alex & Saoirse who both helped me a lot. The Roomboys did everything perfectly. I had two wonderful massages!! Bottomline, this crew was helpful, well trained, took good care of us, always had a smile and made us laugh! The entire crew was wonderful. The boat tenders took good care of us. Kai and Jose were informative and educational with great sense of humour.
