We had a good 3-night stay at the Kosrae Nautilus, and after 3 days of looking around the island, it definitely looked to be the best place around. The location is very good, literally across the street from the Blue Hole snorkeling/diving area. It’s also only about 20 minutes scenic walk into Lelu village and the Lelu ruins. The hotel backs onto the mangrove channels and we made use of the free kayaks to explore these remote channels. 

We were met at the airport for our free pick-up and brought to the hotel where we met the owner, Josh, and got checked into the room. Josh and all the hotel staff were very friendly, helpful, and hard-working and we enjoyed our daily chats with them. Our room was one of about 16 or so in the complex, rows of motel style adjoined units. It was clean and comfortable with good AC, fridge, hot water jug, and good, dependable Wifi internet. The TV was purely for internet streaming and worked well. We had 2 queen size beds and a small computer desk. Everything seemed to work well and was well-maintained. We ate nearly all our meals at the restaurant and were happy with every meal – especially the chicken quesadillas. There were both indoor and outdoor eating areas and the place seemed to be very popular with the local inhabitants. The only complaint about the restaurant was that lots of people were smoking in the outdoor covered eating area which made the whole eating experience very unpleasant. As mentioned before, use of the kayaks is free, and you can also rent diving/snorkeling gear and rent cars as well for getting around the island. Josh can also arrange hikes and other activities if you choose. Overall we had a very good stay and would definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for a great base in Kosrae.

Best place to stay on Kosrae.

Famous ‚Blue Hole‘ (snorkeling highly recommended! You can get gear at the resort) at your front door, Lelu ruins in walking distance, bank next door. 

All rooms have A/C. You can also rent a car from there or have tours arranged (fishing is really fun, even if you‘ve never done it). Using the kayaks to explore the mangroves behind the resort is free.

People are super nice and I loved the food, THANK YOU!

Perfect place to stay on the island

My wife and I stayed 3 nights, met at KSA Airport by the hotel’s driver at 1:30PM, and joined 1 other for the 12km van ride southeast in the pouring rain.  At reception, the owner copied our passports and guided us along a garden walk in front of sturdy concrete block rooms with white tile floors, all accessed through glass sliding doors.  
#13 was sparkling clean with 2 doubles with colorful spreads, desk and chair, then closet, sink with hot pot and bathroom at the back. A housekeeper brought a large pitcher of drinking water and a floor towel. All was fine until we discovered the sink wouldn’t drain and there was no micro, so the owner moved us to a 2 bedroom apartment.  
# 17 had a full kitchen(large refrigerator, full oven and micro), sink/shower and separate toilet, perfect for us using only 1 bedroom. The silent wall AC in the living room was appreciated as was the room’s secure and strong WIFI. We swam in the lovely cool pool and ate at their restaurant with its extensive American menu that’s popular with the locals.
The owner had Robert drive us to the well stocked Ace Grocery, 1 mile south on Lelu Island; it’s closed tomorrow, Sunday. It would be a nice walk without the heavy rain.
This friendly hotel was the perfect location for our stay which included airport transfers, nice accommodation and an accommodative owner to suit our needs.

Well built quiet and friendly hotel near the Lelu island causeway.

The Nautilus Resort is a must-stay if you find yourself in the beautiful island of Kosrae. I really enjoyed the camaraderie built with other guests, where there weren't the many distractions of modern life. Instead, I happily enjoyed deep conversations with hotel staff and other guests, hanging out by the pool in a well-appointed patio area. When I needed to, I would return to my room to escape the heat and humidity, and take advantage of the air con. 10/10 recommend, can't wait to go again!

Content, peaceful, and great conversation at the Kosrae Nautilus Resort

We stayed at Kosrae Nautilus Resort this past June for a week of sightseeing and diving.  Josh is a great host and took care of the details for most any request we had.  The restaurant has very good food and service.  Josh coordinated several outings that required local guides and everything went off without a hitch.  Our group included both snorkelers and divers, adults and children.  All of our dives were guided by Josh himself and we always had marvelous conditions and felt very safe.  We actually had an incident where Josh's rescue skills were put the test and he reacted quick, calm and decisively.  We do plan on returning to Kosrae and would not consider staying anywhere else.

Wonderful experience and service

Did a solo dive trip here.  Super friendly staff.  Rooms are simple but clean and quite comfortable.  Remember this is a remote island not a Hilton Resort.  But thoroughly enjoyed myself and would def stay here again.  

Simple and comfortable

Very nice staff and fantastic diving.  I stayed at the Kosrae Nautilus Resort for a few days of diving.  The staff was fantastic, especially Josh and Salik!    The diving was fantastic, although they had a small problem with the boat, they made up for it by doing 3 dives the next day.   I would stay at this location again if I get to Kosrae again.

Beautiful grounds in the heart of Kosrae. Excellent resort with great food. I would recommend this hotel. There are limited options on the island yet this hotel was still clean and well kept.  The staff are very friendly. Josh, the owner was so helpful with recommendations on places to see and things to do.

Great staff

Overall I would recommend this hotel and I would stay in it on my next visit to  Kosrae.
There are only two reasonable place for tourist to stay at Kosrae.
Nautilus and Pacific Treelodge. As such my review is relative to what you can get here and not to what you can get elsewhere in the world.
On of the main advantages of the hotel is the swimming pool. It is the only one on the island and provides a center place to hangout on the empty hours you have after you are done exploring the ocean.
The pool is about 12mX6m (see attached panorama) with extremely clean water. I suspect that the weather are purified with electrostatic system with zero chlorine. It’s a pleasure opening the eyes in the water and standing below the small waterfall.
In front of the hotel you got the blue hole used for snorkeling during high tide.
The hostel is much more condense with about 4 ground rooms at each building. (The Treelodge is spread around a large area in 2 rooms buildings). So this hotel is better if you like some company around and Treelodge is for you if you value your privacy and isolation.
Both hotels provides decent restaurants and are in fact he only options for you. Since the two hotels are only one 600 betters a part you can walk between the two hotels/restaurants.
Both places offer scuba diving services with a good dive master.
Overall remember that Kosrae main advantage is its isolation and lack of tourist who destroy its reefs. This has the other side of not having much to do here beside the ocean activities.

Well maintained and welcoming hospitality

Excellent resort. In the resort there is the only swimming pool of the island, the beach is just 50 metres on the other side of the road. If you ask in advance (two days before you arrive), the management can organize several tours, e.g. Lelu ruins, island round tour (eastern half of the island), several hikes (I hiked to Menke ruins), a visit in the Kosrae Museum. Also diving tours can be organized. Thanks for your support, Josh!
