Great view and pool, service was excellent and food was good. Great place for couples. Not a great beach for swimming or getting to in general.

Amazing 3-day stay
Priceless view, great service, perfect food & cocktail
10
I travelled with my 2 girl friends, we never visited either Lembongan or Ceningan before so we were just betting our stay at The Palms Ceningan. When we got there, we were struck by a jaw-dropping view at the resto and pool! We were greeted by friendly staff and the owners themeselves! We were even offered to upgrade to the front bungalow at no cost at all but unfortunately the guest in the front bungalow has not yet checked out so we decided to stay in our bungalow which was not bad at all. The bungalow was clean and spacious with a colorful rustic decoration that I love so much! Service was great, the hotel arranged our snorkeling trip, cliff jumping, and motorbike rent. They also arranged masseurs for us so that we could have a massage by the pool facing the sunset. Perfect! Food was awsome and who could ever know that we could have a 5-star-hawaiian cocktails that tasted just perfect in an uncommercialized island? I cannot speak more highly about this hotel, you should stay here and feel it for yourself. The pictures of this hotel didn't lie, they hotel is exactly the same as depicted in those pictures...

It was a truly magical experience
9
The Palms Ceningan Hotel is truly a hidden gem worth exploring. Getting there is a little tricky (motorbike ride to Ceningan Island from Lembongan over a rickety narrow wooden bridge) BUT the minute you enter Ceningan island itseld its as though you've been transported back in time. Unspoilt and untouched beauty in every way. Entering the Palms Hotel was literally a breathtaking experience, the clifftop views, swaying palm and coconut trees and clifftop bar and deck lounges made the whole experience magical! The food served there is on a whole different level-hands down the best food we've ever had in Bali. It takes a little while for your food to be prepared but trust me, it was worth the wait. Fresh food daily and fresh drinks. Owners Paul and his partners Becky and Chris were so friendly and kind that it made our stay there even more pleasurable and made it even more difficult for us to leave. Highlights from Ceningan Island include the best snorkeling in Indonesia at Mangrove Point, swimming alongside giant Manta Rays, cliff jumping into the ocean, swimming in crystal clear blue waters and of course super clean white sandy beaches. Hidden paradise..plan to visit again very very soon. The only issue we had was with the shower temperature control-either extremely hot or extremely cold..but honestly its a small price to pay for everything else that's just perfect.

Nothing can beat The Palms Ceningan! Amazing!!
The best things about the hotel were the amazing staff members, yummy food and the view
10
I don't know how to describe in words how amazing my stay at the Palms Ceningan was. When we arrived scooters with very friendly staff member met us at the Ceningan bridge. We had a very fun scooter ride to the hotel. As we walked onto the patio a huge grin went across our faces when we saw the breath taking view. we were greeted with a cocktail and shown to our bungalow. Don't believe the reviews about the salt water cold showers and the bugs in the rooms as that is all false. We had a warm shower every night and did not have any problems with bugs! our hot water ran out and the staff were immediately apologetic and fixed it for us. we could not have asked for better staff, they did everything possible to make our stay as good as it could be. They organised a scooter at a very cheap price, surfboard hire and manta ray and snorkelling adventures. If your a surfer this is the perfect place to be, a perfect surf break right out the front of the hotel, which is always pumping out great waves. The food at the hotel is to die for! The bungalow is cute and private, just close your curtains and no one can see in. You have the option of watching movies on the projector screen in bean bags with a cocktail in your hands under the stars. I highly recommend visiting in dry season as there are sunday seshs and full moon parties held at the hotel. There is not one negative thing i could say about The Palms Ceningan! We will definitely be back!! from Sarah and Jeff :)

Magical and peacefull nature escape
9.7
Just spent an amazing 4 days of relaxation, island exploring, surf and fun with friends on Ceningan island. We couldn't have found a better place then the Palms for our long weekend getaway! Just a short boat ride from Bali, the transfer was very well organized (although adventurous on motorcycles) - we were immediately welcomed by the super friendly Wayan with a fresh juice and info about Ceningan and our stay at the Palms. The view of the Palms is magical, the swimming pool is great, and the overall look and feel of the hotel is loungy with great deck furniture. The Rooms are big and clean. We felt at home immediately! Sunset drinks are a must and the super friendly staff will make sure you don't miss anything and even helps you plan any activities you have in mind : private snorkeling trip, mangrove tour, motorcycle tour, surf, etc... we'll be back!

BEST CLIFFTOP RESORT IVE STAYED IN.
stunning ocean views, large deck, intertaining area,great food!
9.7
Well this resort is one of the best ive stayed in,what a view! wow.
Its rated a 3 star but I would have to say it is an easy 4 star with all the amenities it offers...the beautiful rooms have everything you would see in a 5 star..all the way to custom towels and shampoos etc.Strong air con, cable tv the list goes on!!!
The food coming from the lovely ladies in the kitchen is very empressive in deed.The Mexican is a stand out..the pool and deck area is simply stunning with great big custom lounges to relax in and watch the sun set..cocktails are awesome I must say.
Little bit expensive but it reflects the quality of the place..they didn't save a dime in the property..its high end for sure!BEST sunsets on the island are here.
downsides....
A little big of finishing off there last 3 two story bungalows..but you couldn't here or see the work only inside the rooms..they are almost done!
Had to wait a little longer for my food only cause it was very busy.
Other wise the perfect place ..and I would recommend it to all my friends for sure!

Superb….So relaxing
The pool was amazing, rooms and bedding very comfortable. Great cocktails.
10
We were pleasantly surprised to find accommodation on Ceningan, we have been to The island of Lembogan many times over the years. Which is getting a little crowded now. When we arrived after our quick boat trip to the island the staff from The Palms were there to great us.
Once we arrived i was so happy to see the beautiful view looking towards Bali. My husband was very happy with a great little surf break right out front and i quickly started to enjoy the pool on the cliff and great local cocktails.
I love that we could both enjoy the surf experience without me being dragged down cliffs and left on the beach. I could take photos sip on a drink, read my book all from the amazing deck chairs.
Ours rooms were great very comfortable, great bungalow style but with all the mod cons. The beds and linen were also top notch. And i am fussy about bedding.
The menu had lots to choose from and found the fish and mexican big winners. there are a few little warongs in the area to eat as well, so you do have that option, because we do like to get out and look around. The breakfast was so large our found myself eating lunch late.
On the downside the roads are a little bumpy, but its all part of the adventure. We hired bikes and had a blast cruising around both islands.
I look forward to returning next year.
All in all I highly recommend this hotel for couple who real want to get away and relax.
