Ababi Hotels from S$22

"First let me say the views were excellent! The staff was kind and friendly but…there’s only so much they can do with a hotel that is in terrible shape. After reading recent poor reviews I requested in advance that my room, bedding and towels be in good condition and they were although the bedspread was in need of replacing. The way the shower and toilet area was constructed was awful! First of all it was not separate from the sleeping area. Most importantly, when one showered the water from the shower seeped into the toilet area and stayed in the corners and created a very wet environment. There was no comfortable chair in the room, the seating on the balcony was very worn. I could go on and on but basically the hotel is a construction nightmare and it has not been repaired/maintained. We left one night early as the room was not an enjoyable place to be."

"I have stayed many places around the world and the Mimpi is one of my all time favorites. I extended my stay from three weeks to a full month. The staff are exceptional, the massage thereapists and resteraunt are oustanding. Acess to world class diving right off the front steps including the Liberty Wreck. I will definitlely be returning to the Mimpi!"

"The staff, the service, the food, the resort and amenities - all absolutely brilliant! The downside, however, was the noise disruptions and beach inaccessibility due to the conservation work taking place right in front of the resort. In order to compensate for the inconvenience the hotel manager agreed to offer our group breakfast and 2x meal coupons for the 2x days that we were there. This was much appreciated and the service from the staff was exceptional. Special acknowledgement to Ayu, Wira and all the chefs. We were all vegetarian/vegan and the restaurant staff went out of their way to accommodate our dietary needs. Mr Chathur, Sudi, Wahyu from front desk and management really took care of our needs and did their best to compensate for any inconveniences caused by the conservation work. We had no regrets staying here primarily because of the staff and exceptional service we received which made up for the disruptions. Candi dasa is also a really beautiful part of Bali that's not overcrowded and busy. Perfect for relaxation and quality time with family and in nature. "

"We stayed for two nights at Quenzo Hotel Padangbai and had such a beautiful experience. It was a romantic trip, and I organised a surprise romantic package for my partner on arrival — the setup was absolutely amazing and made the moment really special. What impressed me even more was that I organised everything from abroad via WhatsApp, and the team catered to all my requests and helped bring everything together perfectly. They were so accommodating and made it incredibly easy to arrange something special for my partner. The service was honestly 5-star. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay, and they made us feel genuinely looked after. One of the highlights was a day trip with Darma, who treated us like family. He took us to the Gates of Heaven, a honeybee farm where we tried kopi luwak (the famous “poo coffee”), and an incredible lookout. It was such a memorable day and made the trip even more special. We stayed in a villa which was spectacular — beautiful, comfortable, and perfect for a romantic getaway. The food was delicious, and we loved relaxing by the pool bar as well. Overall it was an amazing stay and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!"

"Staff friendly and helpful. Beach lovely. 3 pools. Upgraded rooms on the beach worth the extra price"

"We had a wonderful time here. Peaceful and the staff are wonderful. The construction on the beach didn’t bother us at all. Thank you for your warm hospitality! "

"The pool was fabulous and romantic, the room was spacious, 4 nice pillows and comfortable king bed, great air conditioning, romantic outdoor bathroom (totally private in stone enclosure) with rubber plants. room made up daily. free drinking water and free ice at the bar. mini fridge for our fruit and drinks. The restaurant was a little over priced but it is a 4 minute walk to the main street with many inexpensive restaurants and local bars. My favorite place to eat was ACK chicken similar to KFC but extremely cheap, fresh chicken processed daily never frozen (it is illegal in Bali to serve previously frozen chicken at restaurants). Take a grab (Asia's Uber) from the airport (2.5 hour drive) then take grabs to tour the island to see waterfall's and temples."

"My wife and I spent two nights at the incredible Samanvaya Resort. Unfortunately this was at the end of our time in Bali, or we likely would have changed plans so we could stay longer. Everything was perfect, from the incredible restaurants to the views. Waking up in our own little villa overlooking the rice terraces was a special experience every morning. The staff deserve an 11/10, going the extra distance to help out at any opportunity. Highly highly recommended!"

"Beautiful, cozy, clean room and wonderful location. The front desk staff was professional and kind and the guest relations lady, Sonia (?), was delightful. The only disappointment was that despite receiving an upgrade that came with a small private garden, the room did not have any view, which is a shame in such a beautiful location."
