We stayed at the resort in early May 2013. The muck diving was fascinating and really well organised. We were delighted with the dive guides and the dive manager, Stefan, was highly professional and most attentive. The staff at the resort were friendy and helpful at all times. The rooms were marvellous (right on the water) and the meals were... More

My husband and I recently spent a week at KBR with a group of (mostly) divers from California. We traveled to Lembeh to experience the unique "muck" diving for which Lembeh Strait is famous. The diving did not disappoint. The bonus was the first class treatment we received at the resort. The suites are charming and comfortable. Resort staff, who... More

We just returned from our second trip to Kungkungan Bay Resort for 16 days, and they have surpassed our expectations from last year. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and they do anything they can to make your stay first class. If there is something you would like to eat which is not on their extensive menu, all you have... More

Paid a half day hit-and-run visit to Kungkungan. After one dive and a meal we left impressed by the quality of management of the resort and, of course, the beauty and versatility of Lembeh Strait as a destination for some truly unique diving experiences. Thanks for taking such good care of us!

Have just returned from a week's diving in Lembeh where we stayed at KBR. I can report that the resort's glowing reputation is fully justified. Neither of us can remember being in a better dive resort. This place is all about the people and we were bowled over by the welcome and hospitality we received. If there are any divers... More

Just got back from a week at Kungkungan Bay. This was our first time in Lembeh and Sulawesi. Firstly the diving was excellent and although not all dive guides are dive masters they are extremely experienced. All dives were within a 15 minute boat ride which made it seem more like a live-aboard than any other place we had been.... More

Prior to a meeting in Manado City, we stayed a night at Kungkungan Bay Resort (KBR) at the recommendation of a good friend who is an avid diver/underwater photographer. Since all the other guests were divers, we practically had the whole resort to ourselves in between dives. We were intrigued by the attention of the service staff some of whom... More
