“Love This Place But They Need To Improve”

Third time here and will be back again but it relies purely on its location which is right in front of one of the nicest beach areas in Candi Dasa- actually Sendiku - CandiDasa is about 3 km walk away.

Third time here and will be back again but it relies purely on its location which is right in front of one of the nicest beach areas in Candi Dasa- actually Sendiku - CandiDasa is about 3 km walk away. There is NO maintenance done here whatsoever which is such a shame and Housekeeping need training. Even though we were a family of three they would only leave two towels and two beach towels, not take away empty beer bottles or wash glasses. We didn’t lean on balcony as rotting and rickety; and awning window fell out during the night (hinges just came away) and to fix it they nailed it shut! Restaurant staff are ALL awesome and speak english, food is good with plenty of hotel restaurants nearby and good warungs (Smiley is awesome). Perfect massage hut overlooking the ocean to lay peacefully listening to the waves while having a very professional and cheap massage, body scrub, facial etc. The two spa ladies were fantastic and I thoroughly recommend them. And that view!!!!!

“Great location and pool”

We stayed in the oldest bungalows. They have probably received some tlc during the last couple of months. All clean and good sized houses. Lovely little patio area outside. Pool and beach are great. If we return, we will probably stay in the newly developed building. We do believe the comfort … more

If we return, we will probably stay in the newly developed building. We do believe the comfort might be better. Breakfast service was good and we had a pleasant stay.

“Great smaller hotel, lovely location on the beach”

This is a great smaller hotel and I'd happily stay here again. I loved the food here - it's a bit isolated with only a couple of little shops and restaurants near it but the food was great in the hotel so we didn't need to go anywhere else.

This is a great smaller hotel and I'd happily stay here again. I loved the food here - it's a bit isolated with only a couple of little shops and restaurants near it but the food was great in the hotel so we didn't need to go anywhere else. The hotel / resort itself is smallish but well positioned on the coast with great sea breezes. The grounds are mostly grass but have some garden beds and lots of palm trees. All rooms face the ocean except for a couple of the older style and their front verandahs had views. The little beach is just off the bottom of steps at the front of the property and that was lovely for a swim, if a bit rough. The pool is small but wasn't crowded when we were there. It's nice and cool - some pools in Bali are like bath water but this was nice and refreshing. The restaurant is large with inside and outside seating, and some blocking glass panes for protection from the weather if needed. The food was great - lots of choice and all delicious, and reasonably priced. Best black rice pudding ever. We had a suite room which had the most amazing view of the water from our bed. These rooms are at the western end of the property and have a little more privacy (pool is in the eastern area and you can see into the ground level rooms there). Our room was large with large cupboard area, an alcove day bed, a couple of seats on the little verandah and an outdoor bathroom with a small enclosed rocky garden. We had a massage in the beach hut which was good and reasonably priced. Negatives were minor: Synthetic sheets were not as cool or comfortable as cotton (I understand they last a lot longer than cotton, and they were still OK, I just prefer cotton). Room cleaning left all doors and windows open so mosquitoes kept getting in. Location is not in the main area of Candi Dasa (next cove nearest to the lotus pond) and it's not really walkable in the heat - this was fine for a couple of days but if I was staying longer, I would have needed to get transport around.
