I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this resort! The staff made me feel like part of the family right away, and the ocean-view room was a treat - I can't recommend the upgrade enough! The dining options were diverse and delicious, although I would've loved a bit more variety at breakfast. The diving experience is nothing short of spectacular, but don't forget to bring your buoyancy control skills. Overall, I felt it was great value for the quality of service and facilities offered.

My stay at the resort was nothing short of incredible. I arrived by boat, and the warm welcome from the staff made me feel at home immediately. The cottage was luxurious with stunning ocean views from the hillside, and it was exceptionally clean. The diving experience was well-organized with professional guides showing us fascinating critters. The only downside was the steep walk back to the room after diving, but it was worth it for the breathtaking views. Overall, a fantastic stay that I can't recommend highly enough.

My stay at Lembeh Dive Resort was simply incredible! The location is perfect for diving enthusiasts, and the facilities are top-notch. I was really impressed by the attentive service and the delicious food options available. However, the emphasis on tipping was a bit overwhelming, and I'd have preferred more freedom for personal activities outside the resort. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious dive vacation.
