I'm in the very early stages of researching what I hope will be a trip for my wife and myself next year to Raja Ampat *FINGERS CROSSED* . I'm the scuba diver in the family (she snorkels) so have been wanting to go to Raja Ampat since I first learned of it.
My concern is that my wife is a very picky eater. I am too to some extent, but not nearly the level she is. In addition to not eating seafood, I know she will be hesitant to even try anything local. Some resorts list western food, but no real details and not sure if those are only sometimes available or not. So of course the idea of going to a remote island where there is no option of going to another restaurant for over a week has us a little nervous.
Do the main resorts generally have western options available the whole time? I saw somewhere in a review mention of burgers and pizza, but that may have just been a fluke single meal.
Since I'm still early stages of researching, I obviously don't know which resort of course. Misool and Sorido Bay both stood out due to air conditioning, but I'm open to other suggestions too. Waisai (maybe Meridian Adventure) could be an option due to multiple places near each other, but not sure how the diving compares around there.
And before anyone says it, yes, I know this is an extremely ridiculous thing to ask about when going to such a remote part of the world. I agree local food is a part of the experience normally. My wife would of course be content going somewhere like Florida, but I'm the one wanting to go see these amazing reefs.
Once we narrow down a resort, I'll of course contact the resort itself with this and any other questions. Just trying to do my background research first.
Thank you everyone!
