KBR offered us what it promised: Professionally organised and guided diving for weird critters in Lembeh Strait. Diving logistics are smooth and pleasant (snacks between dives, towels and drinks on the boat, camera room, ...). The guides are excellent - we photographed many new species - despite years of diving experience and many hundreds of dives. A very productive stay.... More

Stayed for one week and it was a wonderful diving trip. The staff are very friendly and diving was excellent. Amazing muck/macro diving and was fascinated by the critters. The dive guides are very good at spotting and pointing out the little marine creatures.

We stayed one week in KBR, and it was a wonderful vacation. The resort is very nice, the rooms very comfortable and quiet, and the food is excellent. The resort staff is very friendly, the service they provide is second to none. The diving is some of the best I ever did, and the dive guides are incredibly good at... More

We stayed at KBR for 2 weeks in April 2013 to meet our friends Michelle and Michel from Canada. There is not much to add to their reports, except that we also visited the SPA several times and it was just lovely. We have been to many places allover the world. But we have never been to a place like... More

My family and I spent 14 nights at KBR in May 2013. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the resort and its staff. The staff truly treat everyone like family, and they could not have been kinder to my children (ages 8 and 5). Only my husband went diving, and only two dives, so most of our time was... More

We stayed at the resort in early May 2013. The muck diving was fascinating and really well organised. We were delighted with the dive guides and the dive manager, Stefan, was highly professional and most attentive. The staff at the resort were friendy and helpful at all times. The rooms were marvellous (right on the water) and the meals were... More

My husband and I recently spent a week at KBR with a group of (mostly) divers from California. We traveled to Lembeh to experience the unique "muck" diving for which Lembeh Strait is famous. The diving did not disappoint. The bonus was the first class treatment we received at the resort. The suites are charming and comfortable. Resort staff, who... More

Paid a half day hit-and-run visit to Kungkungan. After one dive and a meal we left impressed by the quality of management of the resort and, of course, the beauty and versatility of Lembeh Strait as a destination for some truly unique diving experiences. Thanks for taking such good care of us!
