Cocotinos Lembeh, A Boutique Dive Lodge, is the third property to be added to the Cocotinos name. About two years ago, we started looking for suitable land along the Lembeh Strait, in view of the growing popularity of the area within the diving community, especially among underwater photographers looking for unique critters which are abundant on the black-sand seabed. Suitable land is scarce as the Lembeh Strait is flanked by steep hills, but at around the end of 2014, two adjacent houses in the Christian village of Makawidey were acquired; this provided the opportunity to create a boutique facility for divers, and also a place for travellers seeking a charming retreat to simply relax and enjoy nature’s beauty.All 12 guest rooms are equipped with modern comforts like air-conditioning, ceiling fan, personal safe, mini fridge and hot water. Our 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.
