Lembeh in february. Which resort would you recommend and why?

[SpeckledGrouper]

Seriously??!!!
Did you not read the previous 50+ replies to this thread??? And a number of other threads that basically say the same thing.

Say what? Lembeh Resort? Sorry, but if that's what you are referring to, in my opinion they are a bit pushy in the emails and they are also the most expensive. I do A LOT of research before I make my decisions and I was just hoping to get some more input.

And I did not think that 50+ replies and a number of other threads said the same thing.

You won't get a guide ratio like that or a private boat anywhere unless you pay for it. Guide ratio is 4:1 pretty much everywhere unless you fork over for a private guide.

A few of the resorts are advertising the 2:1 guide ratio. Which I think is very acceptable and eliminates the need for a private boat/guide.

NAD offers 2:1 as standard

Yep, I was going to say NAD. I really liked it and will be back. @SpeckledGrouper - I can reach out to the manager on site and let her know you e-mailed. She may have just missed it. It's a really great resort. If you're comfortable with sharing your info, PM me and I will reach out to her via FB messenger as well.

Weird, typically they answer within 24 hours. Try reaching out on FB to let them know your emails not getting through
