Amazing Diving Experience

“I had an very nice time diving with the Ocean Encounters dive shop located on-site. The dive boats were spacious and well-maintained, providing a fantastic experience with friendly and qualified divemasters. Being able to walk right from my room to the dive shop was a significant advantage that made my diving trip smooth and enjoyable.” view full review

Clean and Comfortable Rooms

“The room I stayed in was perfectly clean and modern, with a great air conditioning system that worked beautifully. It featured a small fridge, which was incredibly convenient for keeping drinks cold. I had a pleasant view from my room and appreciated the spaciousness it offered. Plus, I loved having the option to request a different pillow for added comfort.” view full review

Delicious Onsite Restaurants

“I enjoyed dining at the various restaurants available within the resort. The Italian restaurant, Piazza, served excellent thin crust pizza, and I had a lovely seafood dinner at Hemingway's. The variety of dining options right on the premises made it easy for me to explore different cuisines without the hassle of traveling elsewhere.” view full review

Relaxing Beach and Pools

“The beach area was stunning and perfect for swimming and lounging. I loved that there were plenty of shaded spots available as well as sun loungers. The presence of a 50m Olympic pool was a huge plus, perfect for a refreshing swim after a day in the sun. It truly felt like a relaxing oasis to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.” view full review

I had a great vacation experience at this resort, which is perfectly situated next to Mambo beach, making it ideal for beach lovers. The dive shop on site is excellent, and the staff is very efficient and helpful. However, the room comfort could be improved, and managing beach lounge access can be a hassle due to towel saving.

My stay at Lion's Dive was truly wonderful! The beach and water access are incredible, making it perfect for families, especially for snorkeling. While the rooms were a bit snug for four people, the atmosphere, dining options, and service made it all worthwhile. The location near Mambo Beach and the aquarium is fantastic, but it would have been nice to have more space in the room for a family of four.
