Comments This was my third visit to Lumba Lumba. It’s a beautiful and wonderful resort and dive experience. If you like turtles, this is the place. On one dive I decided to count the turtle encounters and I stopped counting at 50! The wall dives are beautiful and amazing. The resort and dive staff are all professional and friendly and welcoming. The accommodations are comfortable and clean and beautiful craftsmen chalets. There is no bad.

See my earlier review for my additional comments.

I recommend Lumba Lumba.
