Cocotinos Lembeh, a boutique dive lodge, is the third property to be added to the Cocotinos name.

The lodge faces a quaint little island where lively village children dive and swim. While relaxing in the Wild Mango Restaurant & Bar, you can enjoy a cocktail with sweeping views across the sea towards stunning limestone hills, a distinguishing feature of the Lembeh Strait. There is also a quiet beach of over 100 metres, where timber fishing boats are still being built by hand, and the local fishermen land their catch daily.

The main house facing the sea is divided up into eight rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. As such, no room is the same as any other. All rooms are unique in size and layout.
The smaller building contains the reception area, office, and two other guest rooms. A new double-storey building houses the kitchen and laundry below and two spacious rooms above with high ceilings and views of the sea. A covered car-porch allows guests to disembark comfortably come rain or shine. A new thatched-roof restaurant, dive centre and camera room, a 12-m swimming pool and a 50-m jetty complete the resort facilities, which provide for a great stay in a chic and comfortable environment. Covered walkways keep the rain out the moment a guest checks in.

All 12 guest rooms are equipped with modern comforts like air-conditioning, ceiling fan, personal safe, mini-fridge and hot water. The water supply is fresh and clean and comes from an underground spring nearby. Electrical power is backed up by a generator to ensure uninterrupted supply. Internet is free and available throughout the resort.

The dive centre is fully equipped, nitrox is on offer, and well-designed fibreglass dive boats make diving safe and fun. Cocotinos is well located in the centre of the Lembeh Strait and fronting the lodge are some of the most popular dive sites, namely Makawidey, Jahir and Nudi Retreat.

Cocotinos Lembeh is 50 km from Sam Ratulangi International airport, and it takes between 1.5 to 2 hours to get there by car, depending on traffic conditions. The Tangkoko National Park, an airy tropical forest where one can see tarsiers (the smallest monkey in the world), black macaques and “cuscus” (brown sloths), is merely an hour’s drive from the lodge. Tours can be arranged from the front desk.
Guests can be assured of the same warm and attentive service the Cocotinos name now stands for.
