Meridian Adventure Dive Resort & Marina Club
Firstly the Meridian (Adventure Marina Club) Resort is on a marina, not a beach, and has a nice pool and gardens. It is a modern hotel; all rooms with AC are on the small side as the resort was interestingly constructed using shipping containers. Amenities included body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Free wifi was available throughout resort.
A good breakfast is included with espresso coffees. The bar and restaurant are open all day; Ala carte meals are served from same menu for both lunch and dinner with more western than Indonesian items. The friendly staff were well trained staff through-out the resort.
They also offer a homestay option at village resorts, with daily pick-up for diving.
For divers and snorkelers, Meridian have a modern fleet of very fast RIBs; however, there is little shelter from sun or rain.
All dive equipment which looks very new, is included in their deals. The dive plan is posted in the lobby 3 days in advance, rotating through the iconic dive sites in the Dampier Strait.
To get to Meridian, one takes the twice daily public ferry from Sorong and the resort is just 5 minutes up the road.
