Surprisingly Good Hotel for low price
Private Beach, spotless and excellent restaurant
10
Booked the cheapest room as we were only staying one night and filling in the next waiting for light. Room was large and clean complete with petals on bed and free fruit basket. After asking for a quiet room (to catch up on sleep) we were given a room near the laundry which was noisy. We approached management and were immediately changed to an even nicer room in a quiet area.
Absolutely beautiful gardens, orchids everywhere.
This was our cheapest stay in Bali and other than the Animal Park, probably the best.
Restaurant Tip:
The restaurant on the beach (part of hotel) had lovely breakfast and dinner menus. Wonderful outlook over the beach and the pool.

Arrival was very good with staff very friendly and willing to assist as we didn't have our itinerary. We were taken to our room promtly once signed in and were treated with courtesy and respect if we needed advice. No problems with anything as all we had to do was ask.

Nice room and friendly staff
Outdoor pool next to the beach
7.3
i stayed for one night and satisfied with this place. the staffs are friendly and helpful. the room is big and very clean. and it has an outdoor swimming pool that i like because it's close to the beach. in the morning, i can see the sunrise from the beach. there are not much cafes or bars but many restaurants near the place so i don't have to worry where to go to eat. at night, the atmosphere is very quiet. it's a good place for relaxing and doing water sport.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
it's close to batara water sport, a place where you can play banana boat, fly fish, jet ski and other water sports, and nusa dua beach.

Fabulous small hotel with lots of character
Staff were great especially the restaurant team
8.7
The MT is directly on the beach surrounded by large chains along the coast.It's small but has more charm and character than most of the others, with no large package groups and many guests seemed to stay for a week or more.Massive rooms that were cleaned twice daily.
The pool is small but perfectly formed and the poolboys do a excellent job cleaning the pool and beach areas. Gardens are beautifully kept.The sea is unfortunately not clear but there are better stretches further south.
Unfortunately the sheets in my room smelt like they had not been changed for weeks!! I had to request a new set which they did. This would NOT be acceptable in a 1-star hotel and was a big let-down as the rest of the hotel is immaculate.
The breakfasts were great( porridge and nasi goreng) and there were no bees or wasps.Amazingly the restaurant team can speak English, German, Japanese, Malay and French.
Everyone is constantly trying to sell you a tour or a boat trip which can be slightly annoying (perhaps putting more relevant information in the rooms or lobby would be better??)on a daily basis.
Restaurant Tip:
Nver normally go to Starbucks but on a boiling hot day a cold green tea frappucino at the Bali Sogo Centre was a life saver. The restaurants there also will collect and send you back to your hotel if you ask. Takes about 30 mins to walk there.

we stayed at this hotel for about 3 nights and we have great experience on the hotel room and cleanliness. behind the hotel, there is beach, swimming pool and spa. restaurant also located in front of the beach.
they have 2 kind of breakfast: american and balinese with each type has 2 kind of food. i like the fried rice.
the only problem was small water debit. it took long time to take a shower. when we ask the housekeeping, the man said that's normal condition since they don't use jet pump from the water tank.
overall, we have nice 3 nights stay at this hotel.
Restaurant Tip:
next to the hotel is bumbu bali restaurant that cater local food

9.7
we picked this hotel based on the reviews here and because of the price. it's excellent value for money. the bungalows are large and quiet. a great view of the beach/ocean while you're having breakfast. nice pool with plenty of lounges to go around. close to many restaurants, many with free wifi. plenty of watersports nearby to be had. hotel staff are friendly and helpful. we thoroughly enjoyed our 8 nights here and would gladly stay here again.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Many day spas to the right of the hotel offering massages for 60,000 Rp per hour.
