“Full Service Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

From the delicious food to the terrific dive guides to the delicious bedding at the end of the day that I gratefully fell asleep in, Lembeh Resort does a great job of taking care of people. And the diving is superb. Go! Go!

“Just amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012 via mobile

Stayed there for 12 days and can not wait to go back. Everything was taken care of for you. From the staff to the food, every bit was with it and I will always remember it. I may have spoiled myself to much.

“Superb resort and diving”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

A premier resort for the muck diving capital of the world. The bungalows were very clean, spacious, and comfortable. I especially like the unique outdoor shower in the bathroom. The service is excellent; the staff friendly, and the fool delicious with plenty of variety.

Oh, yes, the dive guides are superb in finding unique critters at a distance that require magnifying glasses for us mere mortals.

I highly recommend this place for great accommodations and diving.

Good Afternoon from Lembeh Resort.

Thank you for this review about your recent stay with us.

We are happy that you were pleased with the room and that you enjoyed the freedom of the outdoor shower!! We feel our team is such a large part of what makes Lembeh Resort what it is today and it pleases us immensely that you appreciated our staff's friendliness and professionalism.

With over 65,000 dives it is no surprise the guides are so experts at finding the critters :-) We are happy you appreciate their skills!

“Top Notch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

We only stayed two days at Lembeh, but were very impressed with everything. The food was delicious, with great variety and imagination. The room was large, clean, cool, and a nice stair hike up from the beach. All the staff were friendly and helpful, both at the resort and the dive shop. We saw lots of crazy critters with the dive masters spotting things that I never would have seen.

Hello from Lembeh Resort! Thank you for this review.

We have very happy that even though you only stayed with us a short time you still thoroughly enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your kind comments with regards to the food - we try to offer a nice variety to our guests to give them a flavour of North Sulawesi cuisine - and also about all of the staff - we are lucky to have such a great team.

The diving is something special in Lembeh and we are happy that your guide helped you to see as much as possible in a short time!!

We hope to welcome you back another time but for longer!!
