I was in the private villa, which was lovely. The grounds are beautiful and right on Amed beach, which is a pebble beach and lined with fishing boats. The restaurant has nice food and staff are friendly and helpful. There is good snorkeling right off the beach. The complex's pool is nice and the villa's infinity pool is great and overlooks the beach.

For reference there are shacks on the beach at either end of the complex where locals arrange snorkeling, fishing and sunset tours. Boats leave from the beach and use motors to pull them back onto the beach, so there can be some noise. We travelled with friends and between us did four tours with them on the trimarans. Taxi prices are really high for local trips if you don't want to walk the 3km to Lipiah beach or the more lively part of Amed. Cons: hot water takes minutes to come through the shower (not that it's really necessary), and my bed sheet ripped.

This property is right on the beach, with excellent snorkelling straight out the front. Make sure you take water/reef shoes to walk over the volcanic rocks and into the water. The villa was huge and the beds are VERY comfortable. The staff are friendly and accommodating, keeping the grounds and our room clean. There are some warungs to the left of the property that are delicious and cheap local food. We would definitely stay here again.

It’s a bit of a hike to the ‘happening’ places so you need to rent a scooter or get a taxi. Be sure to barter on the taxi price or you’ll be overcharged.

We stayed 2 weeks in this little rustic paradise. Beautiful location right on the beach. Lovely clean villas and the most beautiful staff from the front of house to the cleaners, breakfast cook and wonderful pool man/gardener Mor. Yugiartana definitely made our stay special as did Jero. Snorkelling straight out the front we watched turtles and such a variety of fish. Wake up and watch sunrise ftom your verandah. This is our 2nd visit and have booked to return in December.

Water pressure is definitely not great and no hot water most nights, however no big deal as it's so hot.

Apa Kabar is right on the beach! Beautiful pool. I stayed in one of their cottages and it was so comfortable. The bathroom was gorgeous. The whole place has a really great feel to it and the staff are very kind and helpful. Great value and such a relaxing stay.

I visited in the low season so couldn’t make full use of the loungers by the pool but the huts they have over looking the beach are very comfortable.

Right on the beach where you can go and snorkel. We even saw turtles and one dolphin right in front of us. Great facilities that are well looked after. We stayed at the 3 bedroom villa and it was luxurious. The pool is really big and was great enjoyment. We happened to be the only guests there as low season considered to be mid January. If not for the wifi, it would be 10.

Wifi was not offered as paid, but it was really bad. Having 2 teens and bad wifi was a nightmare :))) Also the TV in the villa has not HDMI connection for your own devices.

Apa Kabar is a little slice of heaven. We stayed in the room with its own private pool. It was peaceful, quiet and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The air conditioner worked perfectly, the kitchen was well equipped, the bed so comfortable, the pool sheer bliss and the staff always happy and attentive. There is a grocery shop, warungs and massage spas all within walking distance. The hotel restaurant serves delicious meals. And to top everything off……the dolphins swam by daily, which we watched with delight from our pool! You can’t get better than that.

We just should have stayed longer.

The Cottage was more than we expected. We loved to have our own kitchen and everything was set up in the kitchen. Plenty of space to unpack and loads of room for the kids to play inside the cottage. Location was great as were the staff. Very friendly and always helpful.

Water pressure for all showers were weak but we were still able to shower. There were no bath plugs so the kids were unable to use the baths. We could have used with a upright fan in the living area as it gets hot during the day, especially when cooking as well.

The location was just perfect. Just outside of the main town but close to a great garden restaurant, we visited a couple of times. Situated on the beachfront meant we could swim in the sea and sunbathe by the pool which was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast and one lunch, both were very good. Amazing coffee. I would recommend this hotel. Excellent air conditioning, but not as effective for someone who might be sleeping on the mezzanine area of the room. We took a mattress from the upstairs area as it was too hot to sleep there.

The beach in front of the hotel could do with someone spending a few minutes each day to pick up litter. It was not very bad but it would be nice if someone took care of it.

Location is amazing! Snorkeling straight out the front is world class! Staff fantastic! Very clean. Tasty food in the restaurant. Very relaxing.

No couch in the room for all the family to sit together. The loft is quite warm at night with no AC circulation. The pool was quite murky.

We had a lovely room, plenty of space, overlooking the ocean with our own private infinity plunge pool. It's a great place to just relax & recoup. The people were lovely & very helpful. If you are into snorkling, you could just walk straight into the ocean from the beach to do it or hire a boat to take you out diving. It has a limited menu, but the foid was lovely.

The only downside was that there was no water pressure or warm water in the shower it was just a trickle.
