Testimonials

Exceptional Setting, Set-up, Staff & Service

Exceptional Setting, Set-up, Staff & Service

After staying at four other resorts in the area, Solitude Lembeh stood out for its exceptional attention to detail, from airport pickup to farewell. Warm hospitality from the moment I arrived. A comfortable, thoughtful transfer, personalised greetings, and a beautifully curated garden set the tone for a memorable stay. Impeccable accommodation and dining. Spacious, well-appointed rooms with crisp white linens, and an ever-changing, flavourful menu — the Soto Ayam and Watermelon Steak were standouts. Professional, attentive dive operations. Fast boats, efficient return after each dive, and a dive guide who was consistently thoughtful. My gear was cleaned and returned to my villa after my last dive. Truly seamless from start to finish.
Every element — setting, service, and guest experience — flowed with coherence and care. One of the top three dive resort experiences in my 30 years of travel. Solitude Lembeh delivered a rare blend of excellence and heartfelt hospitality that made me feel like part of the family.

Everything was Amazing!

Everything was amazing!

Highly recommended diving resort, everything was amazing!
If you want the best out of your diving trip in Lembeh, look no further than Solitude Lembeh resort! Super comfortable and large room, I've been sleeping like a baby. Huge and hot shower. Amazing service from the Managers and all the Team. Great food at restaurant and the best massage in years! Thanks Sary!!! And now the diving: absolutely amazing diving experience... I could see and photograph all the critters and animals I wanted to see. Come with your "wish list" and the dive guides will select the dive site depending on what you want to see. Very short boat trip to diving spots (5 to 10min), 1 DM for 2 divers ratio (and super skilled guides! Abner, our dive guide is highly recommended!!!!!). Great camera room and pro tips from Patrick and Anna!
Nice relaxation at the swimming pool in between dives (and no mosquito in the evening).

A Trip Worth the Wait.

Nothing short of Incredible!

Visited Solitude with my sister for a week of diving. For years we've been hearing about how amazing the diving is in Lembeh. WOW! We'd originally booked this trip for 2020 but due to the pandemic had to wait 3 years. This trip did not disappoint! All of the staff were amazing! We didn't have a negative experience with anyone we met. Eva, Goldie, Christian were all amazing in the restaurant. The menu is quite large and everything is delicious. The hotel, dive boat, and camera room were clean and well maintained.
We still can't get over our good fortune to have Hiros as our dive master on this trip. What a G.O.A.T! He's the dive master we find ourselves compared all other dive masters too. I feel like I should be gatekeeping this information, but Hiros deserves the shoutout. Hiros is the best critter finder I've ever seen but he also has an amazing understanding of how to compose and take beautiful photos. Sometimes I would be out of focus and Hiros would know it. He would grab my BCD and push or pull me into focus! Absolutely incredible. I still cannot believe how many amazing photos I got on this trip. With his assistance I took photos of critters I'd previously only dreamed about photographing like hairy shrimp, idiomysis shrimp, and a blanket octopus! My sister and I find ourselves talking about this trip all the time and cannot wait until the next time we can dive with Hiros again.
