Murex Dive Resort

The staff are amazing, the grounds and accommodation is excellent the food is awesome and the diving even though the weather was not the best was simply amazing. Our dive guide and the boat team were brilliant. Alvian went out of his way to make our dive experience memorable and fascinating. The day trip to the village and volcano with Chandra as our guide was simply a must do. So informative, interesting and fun.

Our trip diving with MUREX MANADO was one of our most wonderful dive trips ever. The resort lies in a lovely tropical setting with a view of Manado Tua, the volcano off in the distance. Our accommodation was spacious, open, airy and clean. The restaurant served wonderful meals, many with themes, and the chefs worked diligently to prepare delicious and varied meals. The restaurant staff made us feel like family. We simply did not want for anything. The dive staff was superb taking great care for the safety of all divers and diligently pointing out the various creatures, coral and fish throughout the dives. Our dive guide wrote out on a tablet everything we saw on each dive. It was actually like a Dive Dream - the best kind. Of course, we want to return. My log book barely had enough room to list everything we saw on the dives. MUREX is very customer oriented in a personal way. We never felt like we were on the diving conveyor belt such as we have felt in other places. A true testament of an excellent and rewarding experience is the fact that we want to return. We are so very appreciative of our MUREX adventure.

Our visit to Murex Manado in July 2025 was a repeat visit and it was every bit as amazing as it was the last time. The accommodation is of the highest standard and the setting is absolutely beautiful. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and always available to help. The diving was spectacular! The diving team is superb and everything is so well run. We were a school group of 19 teenagers and each one had the absolute time of their lives. Thank you so much to everyone at Murex Manado, we cannot wait to come back!

My son and I had the most wonderful experience staying here and diving with the wonderful Sandro and team . The staff are incredible and treated us just like family . Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in looking after us . The accommodation was stunning and the resort lovely .

2nd visit and the experience just gets better. Being the first guests to stay at their Premium Deluxe Cottages was great. Rooms still smell fresh and the space was big. Big enough to put my 4 luggage and dive bag, with even more space to walk around! Despite the resort running full house, the team was still able to cater to our dietary needs by preparing a family set dinner for us. Not forgetting the birthday surprises on land and underwater. Never expect those but they were done great. A special shout out to the dive boat crew - Benya, Olland and Bernard for ensuring the dive trips were safe and comfortable.

12 avid snorkelers/freedivers just returned from the Passport to Paradise trip offered by Murex Manado/Bangka and Lembeh Resort. From start to finish Murex Manado staff were so welcoming, accomodating, flexible and open to allowing us alot of water time & being involved with snorkel site selection. How kind to make a banner for us! Julia was receptive to talking to me, upon arrival, about how best they could meet our snorkeling needs. The cottages, food ( thank you Chef Joe!), service and staff/guides were fantastic. We really enjoyed the continuity of having the same 3 guides, Tian, Carter and Alvian (for 12 of us) follow us through all 3 resorts and the ease of transfer via boat with 2 snorkels enroute. This was so efficient and made it alot of fun. There was so much site diversity, too, and the opportunity for land tours, spa services, bars offered more variety. And it was so affordable! The bed was a bit too firm for my preference but the a/c was nice and cool and the rooms were spotless. When we struggled with walking on the large stones on the beach to enter the house reef during low tide, they placed a platform down for us and raked the stony beach, how thoughtful! We will be back!
