Accom Lembeh where to stay?

[nkir707]

Hi all,

Im going to be in Lembeh for 5nights in May, can anyone recommend the best place to stay? Food is a big deal, need a hotel/resort which serves nice/high quality food. Comfortable bathrooms is also very important. Dont mind paying a premium for these luxuries.

Also which resorts are in the best location for diving? Closest to the best spots?

Thanks
Natalie

We stayed at Lembeh Resort Scuba Dive in Indonesia at Lembeh Resort, North Sulawesi Muck Diving last August and can highly recommend it.


The food and accommodation are just as good as the diving.

Looking forward to our next trip there.

High marks for Black Sand Dive Retreat (Black Sand Dive Retreat, Lembeh Strait - North Sulawesi - Indonesia ), especially for food, accommodations and fast dive boats (although with one of the Hairball sites as practically their house reef it's not like you have to travel far for some of the best sites in Lembeh). If you are very serious about your dive photography check with Simon at NAD. (NAD-Lembeh Resort, the best value resort in Lembeh. Muck Diving Capital of Indonesia) // ww

There are so many good dive resorts in Lembeh. Just type Lembeh into Tripadvisor.
Lembeh Resort, Black Sand, Kungkungan Bay Resort, Kasawari, Lembeh Hills .... etc etc I've hardly seen a single bad review on any of them so in all honesty where ever you go you will have a great time.
I've stayed at NAD and it was great but I do not think it will suit your tastes. Luxury is definitely not an adjective I would ever use to describe it. I'd use descriptions like, value for money, friendly, photo pro etc

Have stayed at Black Sands and think you would find it exactly what you want. Food was excellent, accomodation the same. Can't get closer to the dive sites. Not to say there are not others, there are and they all get great reviews.
