7 nights - Unassuming set up, with such a peaceful ambience, in contrast to the bustling Bali traffic. The staff are exceptional & make this place special, generous meals & magical spa treatments (with Uli). Sanur is a great option for somewhere quieter, yet all you need. Highly recommend for some great R&R. Stand outs - Yopi, Lilly, Putu, Tara and team. Suksma.

Quiet exclusive villab by with nice rooms
Lovely rooms with classy finishes and toiletries. Small but nice pool, great landscaping. Manager on site Putu was friendly and accommodating. Only negatives were no bottled water, no coffee/tea sachets provided until we requested specifically. Also a hit overpriced for a place about 10 mins walk to beach given that for same price we could easily have stayed on the beach with breakfast included.

Beautiful property. Slice of paradise. I would stay again. I had a lovely room. Extremely clean and great, characterful space (as opposed to characterless chain hotels in the area potentially). The toiletries were wonderful- especially the insect repellant made up from essential oils. The breakfasts were superlative and served in your private outdoor area. Very lovely. The location is fine... but it is about a good 15 minute walk from the beach. Don’t take the short cut that the staff recommended to me on my first day there. Stick to the main roads. If you are walking home in the dark, take a torch/keep your phone torch accessible as the road gets very dark at night in places. On the down sides, It was quite near to a fairly noisy road when I requested a tranquil room in my initial requests (I live next to a busy road in a city and was looking for some peace). To compensate, the staff arranged a free massage and it was wonderful, I have to say. I found the service at the hotel variable depending on the member of staff I spoke to. Best keep tabs on any requests you make (e.g for taxis etc.) to ensure they have actually been made. Also, I think you need to be fairly direct in asking for staff opinions of local services. They are discreet and will not necessarily voice opinions openly- a bit of a double edged sword if you booked a service (e.g island tour) and then had a terrible time, only to find out the staff knew! Very frustrating.

Dear Anonymous, I'm so sorry that the choices you made by yourself (island tour) turn your stay in "slice of paradise" into a 3/5 stay... Our Balineese staff is very involved in guests well being but it's limited to the services that the hotel is providing (like free massage they gave you). They will not voice opinion on external activities if you booked with company they don't know, specialy if you already booked. I will keep in mind that you really enjoyed the room, the cleaness, the deco, the toiletries, the breakfast... Kind regards Frederic owner/manager.

A delightful dream...
Relaxing, impeccable and luxurious is how I would best describe the Karmagali. I felt so well-cared for by the amazing staff and my suite was an absolute dream. Breakfast was delicious and afternoon tea pool-side was a delight. While the Karmagali is not on the beach, it's an easy walk or you can borrow one of the hotel's bikes. I actually preferred this location because it is a quieter space. The hotel can also arrange excursions and transportation, which was so helpful. The Karmagali is truly a wonderful place to stay.

Beautiful suites and fantastic staff that are very attentive and friendly. It is a lovely setting and to relax and cool down in and the pool was just gorgeous. Breakfast was great as was lunch and dinner. The food was prepared and presented with such care. Also, be sure to have a massage.

Lovely suites around a fabulous pool
We stayed for a week here before returning home after our trip. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Super comfy bed, room nicely decorated. Plentiful breakfast served on your own patio area as no restaurant on site. A bit of a walk to the beach although bikes are available if wanted. Lovely pool which was always warm. Although we were both poorly during our stay (not related to the hotel) we were well looked after and still enjoyed our time here Only criticism, all the other rooms were booked by a party who were staying to celebrate a birthday in our last few days. We wish we had been warned beforehand and allowed to change to another hotel.

What a wonderful, peaceful and extremely comfortable boutique villa, nestled away in a quiet corner of Sanur. The highlights were definitely Magali and Frederic's personal attention to detail and care given to all guests. Their handy tips on the local area and the free bike facilities made it very easy to get around. We were looking for the Bali we remembered years ago and Karmagali's location and comforts definitely gave us this (as opposed to the chaotic frenzy of Semjnyak now). Thanks again for a lovely stay! PS - breakfasts were AMAZING: wholesome, delicious, generous servings and certainly presented with care and attention!

Peaceful Oasis
Great small boutique hotel with a beautiful pool, wonderful rooms and amenities. Service, staff & owner were excellent, with only a few minor hiccups with new staff. Only 2 issues was family type noise from the neighborhood, but which is hard to avoid as buildings in Bali are so close to each other. The other is just a wish the beaches were within walking distance, but the complimentary bicycles were great.

Exceptionally clean and modern
We stayed here for 3 nights in early February. What stands out about this boutique hotel is the total attention to detail. It is rare that the pictures displayed on a website match reality. But the reality is actually better. Staff are vigilant and yet not intrusive, often offering free ginger water while we lazed by the pool. The hotel is not next to the beach but offer free bikes to use. The room was a delight. Comfortable clean bed, TV with international channels, a huge exquisite "Kew gardens" style bathroom. We met the manager who solved a minor problem for us without issue, something we later didn't get from a larger hotel in Tuban, Kuta. Pick this hotel and you will not be disapointed.

Clean and well serviced villa
Good stay. Service and housekeeping was impeccable. They looked after their guests really well and helped out with bookings for massages and transport. The negatives: There is a rooster that goes on and on at around 5am. When you are trying to sleep in a little, waking up at 5am to that is not very welcoming. Also, there is no phone in the room hence trying to contact the staff to ask for help was difficult and had to walk in the rain to the managers' office to get attention.

Excellent but a bit far from attractions
Very quite place with excellent service but a bit far from everywhere and it would need more variety for the breakfast. 3 French breakfasts, 3 time exactly the same things.... Also, d'ont ask them to be quick. I ordered a taxi the day before for a certain time, it arrived more than 20' after and they were telling me every 3 minutes it's coming when they even didn't know where the driver was.... A pity to end the stay like this.....

Dear Jean Michel, we are surprised to hear you didn't enjoyed our breakfast We propose 4 differents kinds of homemade breakfast : continental, indonesian, gluten free (homemade muesli and yogurt), and french. The french have homemade brioche , waffles and crepes. All are served with homemade bread&butter and 3 homemade jams (coco/pineapple, chocolat leche (not nutella) , spicy ) + fresh fruit juice + plate of fruits and selection of organic teas or black coffee or cappuccino. Also, we are located in the heart of Sanur in a quiet place just 3min by walk from the main street with all the restaurants and shops and 10-15min by walk from the beach. But we are happy to hear you appreciate the quality of the service. Indeed, our staff is very involved and they really do their best to match with client's expectations...

Fantastisk
Vi var meget glade for opholdet på Karmagali Boutique Suites. Skønt lille hotel beliggende i et dejligt lokalt område med flere små og hyggelige restauranter i nærheden. Der er cirka 15 minutters gang til stranden med mulighed for at benytte Art Beach Club's liggestole på stranden. Personalet på stedet er ubeskriveligt søde og gør deres bedste for at betjene gæsterne bedst muligt. Umuligt ikke at blive "forelskede" i Dewi og Putu, den lille smilende massage-dame og alle de andre. Skulle vi nogensinde til Sanur igen, ville vi helt sikkert igen vælge Karmagali Boutique Suites.

I enjoyed my 4 nights stay at Karmagali. The staff was very friendly, always with a smile. Karmagali is near restaurants and the beach, you can easily walk to closest ones. If you want to go further away they have free bikes for you to use. The traffic in Sanur is slow and nice, so riding a bike is just fun and easy :) The bed was really comfy and the suite had a nice feng shui with the garden in the bathroom. I really enjoyed Sanur and Karmagali. Thank you for having me!
