I still can't get over the fact that Roel, Juud and their entire team designed and built this resort with their own sweat and toil 10 years ago, and is continue to evolve it day by day. They have thought through every detail, from the pool to the landscape design to the fish pond, the dining area, the jetty and... More

My boyfriend and I spent two weeks backpacking around Indonesia and Thailand. We got stuck in Manado due to the fact all the flight were full for two days. It is about a 20 min ride from the airport and for two people that fare should cost you around 100Rp. Once we arrived they were a little shocked that we... More

Stayed last August at the same time as Fabienne and Dominic after a week in Lombok. Juud picked us up at the airport and showed us a couple of sights on the way to LumbaLumba. Being located outside of the city made it very relaxing. I was originally concerned about being across the street from the jetty as I know... More

Me and my daughter spent 10 days in this nice and familiar place in the middle of a wonderful "Botanical Garden". Juud and Roel, the owners of this place and the whole staff made us feel at home from the day. The food is delicious and the diving trips are also very relaxed. There is no rush, you have enough...

Lumblumba really is excellent and suits our style of dive resort perfectly. The rooms are in a beautiful setting with stunning gardens and a view looking out at Manado Tua which I can still visualise if I close my eyes. The boats are the best we've used in quite a few dive holidays. Spacious and stable with easy entry and... More

I was here for a week in October and there is very little negative to say about the place. The diving was great, the crew faultless, and overall the dive side of the Lumbalumba experience was lovely. We even saw a dugong during a dive which was a first for me! The resort owner, Roel, was a very likeable gentleman,... More

Dear Diveva, Many thanks for your lovely comments and happy to see you had a good time with us. I thought it might be useful for future guests, to add a little extra information regarding the experience you had with the room you stayed in. I agree with you it is fair to say that "Sepia" is functional and though,... More

Firstly a big Hello to Roel, Maxi, Maria, the boat crew, Martin, the restaurant and resort staff. Well what can I say about our visit to LumbaLumba resort this October, in a word virtually faultless. From the friendly staff, the amazing food to the great diving and brilliant boat crew and guides, everything was fabulous. The only negative I have... More

I stayed at Lumbalumba diving in october 2011 and it was an amazing week. The hotel is more a boutique resort and the facilities are great, better than I expected. All houses are in a super garden, the pool is great and the food is also great. The best part of Lumbalumba is the people, their kindness and their attention... More

We liked our room and its front porch with chairs and hammock. The resort was beyond our expectations with beautiful grounds with many dozens of orchids and a great... More
