This is may second visit to Bastianos. The rooms underwent renovations, some still have underperformed AC. Staffs are friendly, divemasters know their way around. Good value for the money you spent, as it includes return airport transfer, accomodations, meals and boat dives, super great location. Tip: never expect 5-star quality, but for the price I pay, I'd say they deliver. More

We stayed a couple of days after taking the boat from Manado. The hotel is located just in front of a warm water beach and you can sleep with the sound of the waves crashing since the rooms are "on the beach". We did some diving and it was amazing, I HIGHLY recommend bringing with you some cookies to feed... More

This was my second visit to Bastianos Lembeh in 6 months. This time I went with a couple of friends. The room assigned to me this time had better air-conditioning. It worked well and was not as noisy as a motor-boat engine so I had quality sleep every night. Down side of this visit was the resort manager has left.... More

We spent now one week at the Bastianos Lembeh after having been one week in Bunaken before (see my report on Living Colours Resort). I should mention that this was our fourth trip to Lembeh. After three times at the Lembeh resort and their last rise in prices we looked for a cheaper resort though. The Bastianos seemed to be... More

We stayed here on the recommendation of friends and weren't disappointed. We had booked a standard room but the resort wasn't busy so we were upgraded to a better room frree of charge. The room was great, with a private balcony overlooking the lagoon behind the resort, A/C and hot water showers. The transfers were seamless, staff helpful and the... More

Many past reviews were not favorable of this place, but it underwent major renovation a few months before my week-long stay, so I guess there were some improvements. The place is well positioned along the Lembeh Straits to cater to divers who want to experience "muck" diving. As for creature comforts, they were there, but not top-of-the-line. I chose a... More

I spent Christmas at Bastianos Lembeh Resort. Before I arrived, I was a bit concerned about my holiday quality as there were lots of negative comments about this place on Trip Advisor. After staying with them for 7 nights, I think I should share my own experience because they were not as bad as what other people said. Arrived on... More

We had fantastic days at Bastianos Lembeh. We were in their "Superior Cottages". The Room is spacious, they can clean it more thoroughly, but it wasn't so bad. With the extra bed for our 3 years-old, there is still enough space in the room. The AC works well. If you open the balcony, and the front door, there is nice... More

compared to Lembeh or black sands Resorts this is a poor alternative. Cheaper, and with great diving but lacking in every respect to the other resorts. Poor rooms with dirty linen, sparse food with no diversity, (they ran out of coffee !!) our shower hot water turned off, the air-con broke down, the diving was haphazard and frustrating at times....
