Truk Lagoon's waters are calm and offer excellent diving year-round. The islands and fringing coral reefs that encircle Truk Lagoon provide a protective barrier from large waves and strong ocean currents.
This strategically located natural harbor is why the Imperial Japanese Navy made Chuuk one of their most important naval bases during World War II. Truk Stop Hotel is located at its historic epicenter, on Weno (Moen) Island.
Truk Lagoon's most popular wrecks are a short ride from the Truk Stop Hotel.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodBearing in mind that Chuuk is a poor island with limited resources, Truk Stop offers one of the better accommodation options. The staff are friendly and helpful and there was someone waiting to meet us on arrival at the airport. The rooms are spacious and have good air conditioning, however, they did need a thorough clean. The rooms have en suite showers with hot water, a fridge, and a large drum of drinking water. However, this is far from a luxury resort so expectations need to be managed.The restaurant serves buffet options throughout the day and I thought the food was great considering there is a lack of fresh produce on the island! Salad, several meat and fish options, and desert. There is also an outdoor dining area and bar. WiFi is available through out the hotel, however, you do need to swap between different networks as you move around. I didn’t dive with Truk Stop, but they have the reputation of being the best dive operator on the island. Remember that this is Micronesia, so everything is done on island time and in island style. So long as you arrive with a relaxed attitude and a good sense of humour you’ll enjoy it here.
