Dive & Dwell Tulamben

I had a pleasant time with this dive center. Our guide's patience and calm manner made the trip much better, and the dive master was especially accommodating. They made sure everything went smoothly and that we felt comfortable throughout.

I highly recommend staying and diving here. My son completed both his PADI open water and advanced courses, and we were very impressed by how safe and helpful the diving was. The resort was clean and very nice, with great staff. Cafes and restaurants are an easy walk away. The dive school communicated really well before we arrived and was flexible about arrangements.

A really bad stay. I'd avoid this hotel, except perhaps for one emergency night. The bathroom was very dirty, the towels smelled unpleasant, and the mattress was uncomfortable, with every spring noticeable. The breakfast room is right beside the road, and there was never anyone at reception. The breakfast staff were close to rude and had no friendliness at all. They also served us an undercooked banana pancake. The pillows had a strong, nauseating smell and yellowish stains, so we had to ask for replacements. We also found a stinging insect that looked like a cockroach in the pool near the steps.

Getting around was easy from here, with everything we needed nearby. The rooms were really roomy and comfortable, and the pool had a relaxed feel. The dive guides were all friendly too.
