A little garden of Eden shared by only few guests at a time. A very well maintained property matching occidental expectation standards. We spent Nyepi there and the management did all they could to make it an enjoyable experience. Thanks to them again

Our group had a really nice 4 nights visit at Ocean Sun. The beach was clean and the water had good visibility for snorkeling. Lots of sealife close to shore. The staff at the restaurant and hotel were first class. The only disappointment was the restaurant which is called Hops and Chops was no so Vegatrian friendly, but what can you expect with a name like that. We found plenty of alternative restaurants in close proximity. The pool, room and grounds were very well maintained. We loved the view of the Volcano from our room Dolphin 🐬

Great resort, close to dive sites.
Scuba diving in Tulamben was amazing and Ocean Sun Dive Resort was the best place to relax afterwards. Did not eat anywhere else as the food here was some of the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend Ocean Sun Dive Resort to anyone.

Perfect Dive Resort in Tulamben
We stayed here 8 nights, and our stay was very pleasant. The bungalow was spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. There was daily housekeeping. The attached restaurant is very good, with a menu that includes both Indonesian and Western cuisines. All staff, at the resort, restaurant and the dive center, were very courteous and helpful. The best of them is Mr. Ricardo, who owns the place. He is an excellent Dive Instructor and a very good host. Would definitely stay here in my next trip.

Gem for divers clean, safe, functional, affordable
I came to Tulamben for the only reason to get some good diving. If you are not looking for major hangouts, fancy resorts with nighty life, but into good diving, curling by the pool or in the hammock with a book, into meeting some nice new friends, nature walks and good food - this is the place. I stayed there 9 nights and would not want to leave. Ocean Sun Dive resort fulfilled my expectations completely. I was very pleased with the bungalow, the King size bed was comfy to me, and I had a good sleep every night. The grounds appealed to me as quite charming, well maintained, with majestic views of dormant volcano Agung. There is a restaurant/café on property open 7am to 8pm. In my opinion more than enough variety for 7-10 days stay, tasty and very reasonable priced. I also loved the restaurant "Safety Stop" about 3 minutes walk from the resort. The resort staff is very nice, accommodating and eager to please. Overall - I am certainly coming back. Look for me detailed review on diving part

Lovely little hotel in a popular diving area
This hotel was lovely considering the very reasonable prices. The bungalows were very spacious and the partially outdoor bathroom was great! The gardens around the pool were also beautiful. My husband did 3 dives during our stay and was very complimentary about the instructor. Unfortunately there isn't much else in the local area except for a few shops and hotel/restaurants.

All you need
My partner and I organised our tech diving with Ben (The Tec Room Bali) which is connected to Ocean Sun. It seemed like a good idea to stay at Ocean Sun resort too. The rooms are nice and spacious, the beds are not too hard, there is 4 pillows on the bed which is nice for me because I like a high pillow. The bathrooms are a clean open roofed design. The shower is hot, but the hot water doesn't last ages. Enough for a quick shower for myself and my partner. The staff are nice and know enough English to help out with most problems. Anything they cant help with Ric will be able to sort out no problem. The pool is really nice and has outdoor seating and hammocks if you feel like laying in the sun or under the shady trees. The breakfast is ok, not huge but enough to get you through a dive and make it to lunch time. All in all our stay at Ocean Sun was everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Definitely recommended. Thanks Ric and Thanks Ben

The room is big and the semi-outdoor bathroom is really appreciated. The breakfast is not a buffet as it is written on hotels.com, you even have to choose between juice OR plate of fruit. The restaurant has great food for lunch and dinner.

Schönes Hotel mit vielen Tauchspots in der Nähe. Wenn man nicht taucht, reichen 2 Übernachtungen aus, um die Umgebung zu erkunden und zu schnorcheln (Strand vor dem Hotel ist ein Steinstrand).

Super Dive Resort in Tulamben, Bali, Indonesien
Bei unserer Ankunft am dunklen Abend des 22.05.2016 waren wir etwas skeptisch, da sich das Ocean Sun Dive Resort von der Straße gesehen wenig spektakulär gibt. Aber der Eindruck verschwand rasch, nachdem wir mit einem Willkommensdrink begrüßt wurden und die Anlage von innen begutachtet hatten. Da verbesserte sich die Laune nach 20-stündiger Anreise schlagartig! Nach 2 Wochen Aufenthalt das Fazit: Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub für uns alle. Anlage sehr gut gepflegt, Personal super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit, Bungalows sehr sauber und geräumig, Essen sehr schmackhaft (besonders die beiden Grillabende und unsere gemeinsam gekochte Fischsuppe). Und über alles wacht Ricardo – auch als Mann für alles. Gleich am 2. Tag stellte sich so ein Patchworkfamilienflair ein, jeder half jedem. Da wurden Medikamente ausgetauscht, auf bis dato fremde Kinder aufgepasst und versorgt, Ausrüstungsgegenstände gemeinsam verbessert und repariert, Bilder und Tauchvideos ausgetauscht. Und dann die 4-tägige Bali-Tour mit Dieter – wow hatten wir Spaß. Und nebenbei haben wir viel von Bali gesehen und dank Dieter auch verstanden! Wir werden unseren Aufenthalt bei euch in sehr guter Erinnerung behalten und können das Resort vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen! Ric – macht weiter so, wir wünschen euch viel Erfolg und sehen uns sicherlich nochmal wieder. Und bis dahin – bleib schön gesund lieber Dieter. Die Berliner!

Place to be in Tulamben!
Wenn man die Schnauze voll Hatt in assigen Zimmern, bei miesem Service und ranzigen Essen seinen Urlaub zu verbringen... Dann sollte man es sich schwerstens Überlegen ob man nicht ins "Ocean Sun" geht... Saubere Zimmer, (meiner Meinung als Koch nach) das beste Restaurant im Dorf und der Service sucht seinesgleichen. Sowohl was Freundlichkeit, Flexibilität, als auch Kompetenz angeht. Ich persönlich habe hier mehr als 30 Tauchgänge gemacht und immer wieder verlängert. Was nicht zuletzt an den hervorragenden Guides, dem gut gewarteten Equipment, den wunderschönen Dive Sites und den kleinen Gruppengrößen liegt. Also wer seinen Urlaub wirklich sorglos genießen will, der ist mit dem "Ocean Sun" bestens beraten. Für alle anderen... Selber Schuld...

Schöne Anlage im Garten
Die Bungalows sind schön aber leider fehlt 1 Kuehlschrank. Das Fruehstueck ist auch nicht sehr abwechslungsreich dafuer war das Barbeque gut. Tulamben hat keinen Strand es gibt nur dicke schwarze Steine und es ist eigentlich nur etwas für verrückte Taucher. Fanden es nicht so freundlich Ricardo hat sich nicht von uns verabschiedet.
Response from Ricardo on 3 Jun,2015
Vielen Dank fuer eure Bewertung. Das Tulamben ein Dorf fuer Taucher ist sollte allerdings mittlerweile bekannt sein. Auch ist es hilfreich sich dort im Vorfeld bei uns zu informieren. Wir beantworten alle Emails. Mit dem Fruehstueck kann ich leider nicht nachvolziehen. Unsere Fruehstueckskarte ist umfangreich mit verschiedenen Variationen. Auch kann man zusaeztlich mehr bestellen bei Bedarf. Es tut mir leid das ich mich nicht persoenlich bei euch verabschiedet habe. Ich moechte dies hiermit nachholen und mich dafuer entschuldigen und ich hoffe ihr versteht das der Job hier kein Urlaub ist und ich manchmal einfach zu beschaeftigt bin mit der Organisation aller Aktivitaeten hier. Viele Gruesse Ricardo

Hello Sophhie, we don't understand your complain. We welcome every customer personally with a introduction about the resort and the activities here. There is a information brochure in every bungalow. I'am as a manager the whole day here and show up often around the resort where customer can ask me. Sorry you was not happy here and i hope that's next time you will tell me your inconvenience personally.

Fine bungalows til lavpris
Super fine bungalows. Pænt og rent, men kun lille pool med få liggestole. Stedet har egen dykkerskole og vi var ude og dykke ved USS Liberty. Billigt dyk med super kompetent divemaster. Maden er virkelig god og morgenmaden bedre en nogen andre steder vi har oplevet på Bali. Området er lidt kedeligt, men hvis man kommer for at dykke, er det helt perfekt.
