Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Direct access to Jungut Batu beach with a stunning infinity pool
- Chef Eddie's kitchen serves surprisingly excellent food (especially the Gado Gado)
- Prime location walkable to yoga, diving centers, and local warungs
Hurtig oversikt: A charming but slightly rough-around-the-edges beach base where the ocean views are 5-star but the bathroom maintenance is definitely 3-star.
Gjennomgått av @aworldtolive: I stayed here for a few nights and was blown away by the value. For $120 AUD, having the ocean right there and a pool to cool off in was incredible. It's not ultra-luxury, but the vibe is perfect for a relaxing island escape.

Reality check
The 'beachfront' is more for boat parking and seaweed farming than swimming; you'll likely stick to the pool or walk to other beaches for a dip.
- You prioritize a pool with a view over fancy room interiors
- You want to be in the middle of the action in Jungut Batu
- You are a heavy sleeper who wakes up early anyway
Renslighet og vedlikehold
7.2
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally good, but consistency is an issue (missed cups, water refills).
- Bathroom hygiene: The weak point. Reports of stained grout, 'groggy' bathtubs, and occasional mold smells.
- Maintenance: Aging property showing wear. Peeling paint and finicky AC units in older rooms.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be grey/worn and sheets sometimes have stubborn stains.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh sea breeze, but some rooms have a lingering musty or drain smell.

Romaske – kopier og lim inn

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is the beach in front swimmable?
Not really. It's used for boat docking and seaweed farming. Walk 10-15 minutes north or south for better swimming spots.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, all rooms have AC, though efficiency varies between the old and new wings.
How do I get there from Bali?
Take a fast boat from Sanur to Jungut Batu (30-40 mins). Operators like Rocky Fast Cruise or D'Camel will drop you on the beach near the hotel.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes. It's an a la carte menu (American or Asian) rather than a massive buffet, but reviews praise the quality.
Are there ATMs nearby?
Yes, there is an ATM within walking distance, but they often run out of cash. Bring plenty of IDR from the mainland.
Can I rent a scooter at the hotel?
Yes, they arrange rentals for ~75k-150k IDR per day. Verify the condition before riding off.

Don't rely on the hotel's mosquito control; bring your own plug-in coil if you can.
5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The 'ocean view' often includes a view of the tide going out and exposing mud flats—check tide charts.
💡The bathtub in the Deluxe room looks nice in photos but is often too stained to want to soak in.
💡You might find local farmers working right next to your 'private' terrace area.
💡The 'live music' can be loud enough to vibrate the walls of the nearest rooms until around 9-10pm.
💡Staff (especially Agus) will remember your name and drink order by day two—service punches way above the 3-star rating.
