KBR is a lovely resort in its own private bay; the majority of the bungalows are situated on the waterfront with one hillside villa. My wife and I arrived around lunchtime so were shown to the restaurant which sits out over the water behind reception and were asked to fill in the registration documents whilst we had lunch before being...

I cannot tell you how impressed everyone in our group was with the service from the resort. From the accommodations to the dining to the diving, everything was beyond our expectations. You showing up at the airport on our return from Manado to deliver a left behind hat to one of our fellow travelers shows that you truly care about... More

KBR is a fantastic resort that made my holiday special on very many levels. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The beachfront chalets are a real dream with very elegant interior design, a huge and luxurious bathroom and a very comfy bed. I loved the fact that I could hear the waves at all times. The choice of food... More

First and foremost, I have to declare that I organize dive holidays. I have been to KBR many times and have always received good reviews from my divers. Ultimately apart from the great dive location, decent food and comfortable accommodations, the one thing that can be inconsistent is service. This is where KBR excel. With wonderfully warm staff from the... More

We spent 17 days at the Kungkungan Bay Resort, which was one of our best vacations ever. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and well designed, our room was fantastic, with a king size four poster bed, seating area, fridge, air conditioning, fan, TV, drying rack, the biggest bathroom we have ever seen, and a huge private deck with table and...

We stayed in KBR (Kungkungan Bay Resort) last year which we loved and was so pleased to be able to return again. Its a bit of a trek from the UK but well worth it. We were met by Fritz from KBR at Sam Ratulangi airport (Manado ) and were soon on our way to the resort. Its takes around... More

When the owner of Kungkungan asked me "How is your room... good?" I responded "it would be good for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie so for us its amazing" Infact when we first stepped into the beach front cottage suite I lost count of how many times my wife said the words "amazing" and "fantastic". So we arrive at Manado... More

My husband and I arrived at KBR for a 5 night stay following a Raja Ampat live aboard, intending to relax and read our books. As fans of blue water, coral reefs, currents, pelagic action and liveaboards we anticipated that land based muck diving was not for us. We were wrong and were totally hooked after our first dive!

For the first time that we visited Kungkungan Bay Resort was in 2002. We heard about the great diving in the Lembeh Street. We were not only surprised by the beautiful creatures under water but also by the hospitality of the people at the resort. And because of that we ‘ve been visiting Kungkungan every year, sometimes twice a year.... More

great resort with fantastic service and a great location right on the waterfront on Lembeh Straight. No hills to climb (with the possible exception of the one "hillside villa") all others are watefront unlike many resorts here, some of which require a car/van ride before getting to the dive boat, others are all cliff / hill side great critter muck...
