Loved the place - its beautiful and well run. Dave the resort manager is great!!! I wished I could have stayed there for a week. The diving was splendid - but only if you are interested in macro stuff. But this is what Lembeh Straits is famous for. If you want to see pygmy seahorses, hairy frogfishes, nudibranches, bluering octopus,... More

I'm sorry to hear that you had some bad experiences at our resort I totally agree that having a driver representing Bastianos and being under the influence is completely unacceptable, unfortunately in this instance all our drivers were on leave being you arrived late at night on the 1st of January, which is a big celebratory evening in Indonesia.

I was supposed to write this review 6 weeks ago but this website did not allow me to do so. I must wait 3 months after my last review on the same property. Anyways. I returned to this resort end of November for a short trip to test my new camera and housing. The only reason why I kept going... More

Good to see the resort had a manager again. Many old staff had left but those whom I met before all recognized me. There were some improvements. For example, they put a bedside lamp so I could read during the night. They also changed clean linens every 3rd day. New pool chairs. Food served was about the same standard. You... More

This is our second trip to Bastianos Lembeh.We really enjoyed it the first time and enjoyed it even more the second, will definately be back again. We did a 2 centre trip between Bastianos Lemeh and Bastianos Bunaken, a really good option as the diving and resorts are quite different which adds some variety to your trip. The Resort: We... More

Bastianos Lembeh Diving Resort is build on a mountainous peninsula with superb views over the Lembeh street. It's far enough from the main town/port to be very quiet and it's very well located for the absolute wonderful dive sites around the Lembeh Straight. Staff is friendly and casual.Food is good and plentyful though breakfast is a 'tat' too simple to... More

After a lot of research on diver resorts in Lembeh we decided on Bastianos. I was a little concerned about some of the negative reviews but other wise for the price and the package I figured that it would be suitable. I was very pleased by the efficiency of the airport pick up. We were met on time and promptly... More

I was at this resort in 2010, and I should say that as far as the resort itself is concerned, there are lots of improvement. There are some additions, like a bar at the pool (although it was not manned when I was there, since there were few occupants). There is more buzz, I see more staff members busying themselves...

Many thanks to Steven and all the staff for a fabulous week. The meals were great and tremendous effort made to provide for a vegetarian. The boats, crew and gear were well organised and guides well trained to create pleasurable photo dives. They are sharp eyed and easily point out critters that I would have gone past - mainly because... More

It's good to have my holiday here; however, I haven't been diving for 7 years. The diving staff there helped my alot to accommodate myself under the sea. The diving instructor named Naan is quite good in finding things under the sea to show you. If you have chance, try to get him accompany with you. My favourite dive site... More
