Sandra Terok - Head of reservations

Sandra books your stay with us and ensures all goes smoothly. She has many years experience of working in dive resorts and is normally the first person most of our guests write to, talk to and meet. Manado borne-and-bred, Sandra is the person to ask about where to shop, eat and party as she has probably been there, seen it and done it!
