Resorts in Bitung

I booked my trip in a rush, hoping to make a once in a lifetime visit to Sulawesi. I hadn't done much research, so it wasn't until I arrived in Lembeh that I realised I was far away from the famous Bunaken and could only do muck diving in Lembeh. The muck diving was PHENOMANAL for anyone wanting to see tiny stuff. However meeting other guests who had the foresight of booking the Manado and Lembeh sister resorts, I felt a bit embarrassed and a whole load of FOMO for coming to Sulawesi and not seeing Bunaken. I spoke to the management at Lembeh and they went away with my thoughts and after a day came back to confirm they had secured me a room and transfer at the sister resort in Manado and i would be able to continue my diving in Bunaken - and yes it was worth it, the coral walls and the turtles made it all worthwhile. The staff were attentive and lovely at both resorts. The dive guides in Mando were very mature and excellent. The food was great and the atmosphere between guests was excellent. I had a fab time as a solo traveller at both Thalassa resorts.

Staff was amazing ! The couple in the kitchen was so nice, food was the best we had during our whole stay. We even had a special cake to celebrate our 100th dive! The dive team was exceptional, Man and Piky helped us see the most amazing stuff. Definetely among the best dives we ever had. Room is nice as well, AC really useful.

beautiful resort, great service, the food is excellent. close to all the good dive sites. good diving equipment and dive guide.

Direct waterfront resort with an amazing garden. Lovely friendly staff. Everything shows that the manager is German. Comfortable diving boat, experienced driver. We spent 6 days there and saw wonders under the water. Perfect place for rest, relaxation and diving!
