If you are looking for serenity, then this is the place for you. There are a few local and one larger convenient stores nearby. Great diving sites. Rocky Beaches. The staff is great. Not a lot of selections for meals and they could work on the presentation of dishes, but they are mostly tasty. If you are a hot tub lover, then here's the one down side in staying here: The water tank does not hold enough water for you to fill the overly large in-room spa tub and take a hot shower. I was looking forward to soaking in a hot bath after dives, but I ended up sitting in cold water. That was a deal-breaker for me. Perhaps it is not for you. =) Have a great vaca!

Little peaceful getaway.
Lovely quiet hotel. Room was beautiful, and the food is wonderful. Very fresh and handmade daily. The spring rolls were a special treat! Snorkeling right outside the hotel is also very nice. You can fairly easily snorkel over to the Liberty wreck if you wish. 2 things to know: if you have any kind of mobility issues, this is not a good hotel for you as the drop off is a bit of a walk over uneven ground to get to the actual resort, and if you have large or heavy luggage it can be a bit tricky to get it to the resort although they are happy to help you with it. We had a wonderful time, and would definitely stay here again if we go back to Tulamben.

A tranquil haven
We loved Toyabali. It was so tranquil and relaxing. If you are a party person it's not for you but if you're looking for peace and relaxation it certainly is. The host Ibu Made organised a day tour for us and came along as our guide, she also taxied us to Jemeluk( Amed) for excellent snorkeling. The US Liberty shipwreck is literally just off the beach and is a diving/snorkeling destination. We snorkeled it 3 times but the weather was a bit windy while we were there making access to the sea a bit difficult. The beach is black volcanic pebbles too. I'd recommend diving boots and strap on fins to make access/egress easier. Breakfast is provided, fresh fruit plate, various egg choices or noodles, fresh fruit juices/lassi, coffee, tea. We also ate there most evenings and enjoyed the food. The rooms are beautiful bungalows with lots of space and gardens between them making it feel very private. Two of them have partial sea views. They have an enormous outside bathroom, ours had a huge granite spa bath too. If there's a downside it's that there isn't much around in Tulumben, a few bars, hotel restaurants. Most of the hotels specialise in diving. Tulumben is also a longish drive from anywhere ( 3 winding hours from the airport). Please be aware that (post covid lockdown)local businesses don't take international credit cards and ATM are few and again don't always take international cards. We got in late and had no cash but Ibu Made subbed us until we could find an ATM, so kind.

Treat yourself!
We has the most amazing weekend staying at Toyabali. As the first guests to stay after the lockdown the place and gardens were immaculate. Stunning view from our Villa, and pool, and very close to the wreck for diving. Excellent snorkeling too not far from the shore. Great food even though they were only cooking for us. What a treat!

Inspiring & Romantic Paradise!!!
Our stay with ToyaBali was absolutely amazing!! The photos they show paint the picture which is even more incredible in person. But what really makes the stay special is the employees. They really put a lot of love into everything they do and it shows. The food is excellent and made from scratch even the sauces. The service is impeccable and done with a smile. The lush garden and grounds are perfectly maintained. Any services you may need i.e. Motorbike rental, scubadiving, transport to your next destination all taken care of by the staff with no worries whatsoever. Thank You ToyaBali for everything!!!!

Toyabali
Arrival entrance very poor in fact it was waste ground. Room was perfect but pool area very small and it felt more like a home stay than a hotel . Food was delicious and owners we very kind and helpful givin that personal touch , if you want to be secluded and have nothing to do but relax then this is the place to be. I do feel that this place was far to over priced

Lovely hotel
Really enjoyed our stay here and the food was great! I would definitely stay here again or recommend it to someone looking for a bit of quiet. There’s an old wreck just a few meters away in the ocean and we were able to snorkel to. Lots of diving rentals places close by if that’s what you choose. Close to some popular attractions such as the water temple. The only major complaint was our arrival. We weren’t sure where the entrance was but they seem to be working on a path to get there. Still was very confusing. We rented a scooter from them and it was not the best we’ve had. It took some effort to get up those winding hills. Other then that, beautiful place overlooking the ocean!

Kleines, familiäres Resort bestehend aus 6 großzügigen einzelnstehenden Bungalows. Mitarbeiter samt Service waren einfach super, wir haben uns 14 Tage sehr wohl gefühlt. Massagen können einfach über das Resort gebucht werden und finden auf den beiden Massageliegen unterhalb des Pools direkt am Meer statt. Restaurant mit überschaubarer Karte fanden wir qualitativ und geschmacklich sehr gut. Schnorcheln/Baden im Meer bei Wellengang nicht ganz einfach, da kein Sandstrand sondern nur Steine/Felsen. Der Ort besteht nur aus Tauchbasen (Wrack der Liberty direkt vor Ort), wenige Restaurants/Warungs und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten fußläufig erreichbar. Mehr gibt es hier auch nicht zu tun....

Superbes villas dans le calme
Une villa superbe, calme dans un cadre reposant. Un vrai bonheur. Le personnel est à l’écoute et le service irréprochable Seul bémol : un peu loin de tout. Il est préférable d’avoir un scooter pour aller sur amed.

Ein tolles Resort zur totalen Entspannung, sehr gepflegt und wunderschön gestaltet. Tolle und saubere Villa. Bequeme Liegen am Pool und ausreichend Schatten. Sehr leckeres immer frisch zubereitetes Essen und Fruchtsäfte. Sehr engagiertes Team, immer freundlich und flexibel. Guter Platz zum Schnorcheln, nah zum Schiffswrack.

Le paradis
Pour notre troisième séjour à BALI, nous avons séjourné 12 nuits dans cet hôtel, il ne manque rien, une grande douche extérieure, un SPA privé sont très appréciable. Quant au personnel, Madé et toute son équipe sont aux petits soins pour vous rendre le séjour aussi agréable que possible. Et puis, l'épave du Liberty et à moins de 100 mètres de l'hôtel. Un sans faute pour cet hôtel avec un grand +++ pour le personnel toujours souriant.

Beau bungalow idéal pour plonger
Petit bungalow près de la mer, au calme. On entend le bruit des vagues en s’endormant. La piscine est bord de mer, et à l’avantage contrairement au resort au alentour de ne pas être empruntée par des plongeurs pour leurs exercices. Le jacuzzi est très sympa mais plutôt froid, impossible de rentrer dedans le soir. Vous pouvez vous restaurer à l’hotel Ce qui est plutôt bien, car hormis plonger et vous rendre à deux temples à 30 minutes de route il n’y a rien à faire. Peu de restaurant, aucune animation le soir.

Endnu smukkere end på fotos!
Toyabali er et helt utroligt smukt sted og det perfekte ophold for et par dages total afslapning. Og hvis du vil dykke og/eller snorkle endnu bedre! Smagfulde og harmoniske bungalows med udendørs bad! Den dejligste hjemmelavede mad til alle måltider! Fantastisk personlig service fra alle på Toyabali! Vi anbefaler alle som vælger at besøge Tulamben at bo på Toyabali. Og glæder os til at vende tilbage!

Sehr schöne Anlage und toll ausgestattete Villen
Die Hotelanlage mit den fünf Villen ist ein Traum. Der Pool ist super und die Aussicht vom Pool einfach klasse. Man kann super schnorcheln und ein Wrack liegt ganz dicht beim Hotel. Was uns leider nicht so gut gefallen hat war der Service und das Essen. Die Mädels waren höflich aber wenig herzlich und sehr unkomunikativ. Das Essen war für unseren Geschmack extrem überwürzt. Wir glauben das war das Glutamat im Essen. Was sehr schade ist bei den guten Materialien.

Wundervoller Platz zum tauchen und relaxen
Nach unserem Aufenthalt in Ubut waren meine Frau und ich zwei Tage im Toyabali bevor es weiter ging. Nach der ganzen Hektik und dem Trubel in Ubut war das mal genau das richtige für uns. Einfach mal Ruhe und Frieden. Abgerundet wurde das Ganze durch zwei wirklich atemberaubende Tauchgänge zum alten Schiffswrack am Riff. Der Ort selber bietet außer Tauchschulen, ein paar kleinen Restaurants und Supermarkt nicht sonderlich viel. Könnte also für Patygänger und bei längeren Aufenthalten etwas langweilig sein. Das Toyabali ist aber eine Oase zum entspannen und Abschalten und mit den privaten Bungalows, zusammen mit den stets freundlichen Angestellten, ein optimaler Platz um den Alltag zu vergessen.
