A great resort in Balinese style, located in the tropical rainforest. Great rooms/bungalows, very clean and well maintained. For divers there is the Karang-Divers diving center located right on the beach. …

Excellent for snorkeling and diving. The Lau exchange school is also on site.The resort is very clean and quiet. The service is excellent. Particularly noteworthy is the guest relations manager Mekel Putu, who is always available to give advice and assistance and speaks several languages. Tours can be booked from here.It never rains much here because it is located behind the mountains. Pemuteran is a place that is on the rise and has just started to develop. He has a lot of potential.The resort is lovingly designed, food is available ala carte and it is delicious.

Well located for diving, a large beach with bar, swimming pool and restaurant but it is an aging hotel which lacks maintenance, located in a magnificent green space, the staff is really friendly and attentive to its customers.The restaurant lacks flavors for my taste, the dishes are copious and the breakfast is very basic.

Nice rooms with a bath but a bit outdated. The breakfast was based on the local taste. We loved the swimingpool! For a five star hotel the service was not perfect and not personal.

Very beautiful hotel, I will keep very good memories of it. Breakfast on the beach, massage, diving. Several restaurants outside are very affordable.On the other hand, the rooms have defects, the water which does not stop flowing in the shower, the lights which are non-functional, the bed which is very hard.

A pondok is a traditional Indo house. The rooms here are good/basic but very dark. Lots of dark timber panelling. Make sure you leave the mosquito net set up to stop them from bothering you at night. The air conditioning needs to be left on as the one in our room was a bit small for the room but it was on the entire time we were there.The big trees at the beach make this hotel the best location for lazing on the beach. There is the Kerang diving school at the hotel(most of the beachfront hotels have a dive shop) and the boats to mejengan island load right out front. Recommend the one day dive if you have ever wanted to dive with scuba gear. The staff are lovely and speak good English.
