“Spacious and luxurious with great attention to detail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

The resort and dive crew at the Lembeh Hills resort are truly top-notch. They have a very small dive ratio of 2-3 divers to 1 dive guide, and they certainly know where to find their nautical creatures. After each dive fruits, water and a hot towel is served, and at the end of the trip all my dives, including dive site names, etc, were printed out for me in a letter format. The wash area is really spacious, with ample areas for wetsuits, cameras, etc.

Seeing how the place is built on a hill, getting from rooms to the dive center/restaurant can be a bit of a trek, but not a big issue. They have club buggys for the really lazy travellers anyway.

The rooms were very clean and spacious, with fresh fruit and bottled water provided everyday. They also have an indoor and outdoor shower in the room I was in, which was a twin villa.

On the 2nd last day I was a little unwell, and the resort crew was extremely attentive to my needs, which was very impressive. The massage services in the resort were also outstanding. The resort is priced a little on the high end, but I guess you get what you pay for. Definately worth recommending/coming back again!

“Luxurious resort!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2012

Stayed at this resort for 5 days for diving! Dive leaders are professional, helpful during the dive, at the dive centre and under water...spotted many marine creatures for the group to see. The dive centre is very organized in both structure and management. The dive centre has an exceptionally large camera room...the staffs are assitive and has integrity...never brought camera and equipments back to room and nothing was missing.

The resort is windy throughout the day and has a nice sea view. The pool offers marvelous sea view. The rooms has outdoor shower and a bath tub size of a small jacuzzi. Very clean rooms!!!

The restaurant not only offers a variety of food but delicious food too. The restaurant staffs were pampering us and they provided excellent service.

The resort is built on a hill so pretty tiring to walk uphill all the time. However, golf carts (buggey) are a phone call away to fetch us.

The wifi is not too good though...doesn't reach the room.

Room Tip: Request for rooms near the reception area as wifi will reach the room and it is near to the restaura...

“Luxury dive resort at its best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012 via mobile

Just came back from a diving trip with 11 friends. It was my first time at Lembeh Straits as well as at Lembeh Hills Resort. We were pampered and spoilt! Top notch dive sites, low diver to dive guide ratio (on certain days I have one guide by myself), hot towel and fresh fruits after each dive, excellent resort crew, spacious and clean villa, and free wifi. What more can I ask for?

Thank you Maureen (operation manager) and Paulos (dive manager) for the excellent service. You guys will now be the benchmark for all my future diving trips.

“Most pampered dive resort!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 3, 2012

We visited when the resort wasn't completely ready and was upgraded to a sea view chalet! Dive masters were fantastic and the staff were great. Room was huge and the bathtub was the size of a little jacuzzi!

Too bad the pool wasn't ready yet but for the price we paid, can't really complain.

“Must read before you go”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2012

Rooms and services are good but make sure you are not charged 363,000 Rupees ( app USD80 ) for a fried chicken as side order.

On my way to the resort I've seen chicken running everywhere. Out of curiosity I asked the Managress to get me a local chicken and have it grilled.

I was told a live chicken would have costed something around 90,000 Ruppees but
it turned out to be an unpleasant surprise as it costed more than a 3-course dinner at Hongkong's top restaurants !!!!!

Also the Fried Snapper came in different forms and tastes : fillet in the first night, nuggets the second and little pieces in the third.

Water in muck diving sites are extremely polluted. Recommendable to wear a hood so that
you won't get bitten by micro creatures.
