We had an amazing time and have nothing negative to say! The staff are incredibly friendly, the rooms are clean, cozy, and well-equipped with air conditioning, drinking water, and a fridge. The food is fantastic! The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of options, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices. Dinner was just as good. The dive instructors, in particular, are amazing. I always felt very safe and had lots of fun! I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back! :)

We booked it strictly for a quick night before ferry which we booked months in advance. Unfortunately someone there completely messed it up and didn’t book it. It was really frustrating to hear that our 8am ferry that we booked in march was simply not happening and we were put on the 11am 3 HOUR one. But after many many phones and runs around the harbour by different staff members (American- at least that’s what I think from the accent- guy and a really beautiful young girl) they put us on a 9am one and saved the day. So at the end of the day, despite the huge mess up- somehow they figured it all out.

Perfectly positioned for anyone doing scuba or trying to get ferrys over to the islands, it’s about a minute walk to the port which made the mad dash in the morning much more bearable. The food is probably the best in the port, and having looked around I’d say it’s probably the nicest place to stay in padangbai

There was a bit of a smell from the bathroom, possibly a drain issue. And we booked our boat through the hotel, but on the day they told us they could only get us a one way to the island not the return, even though we had paid for both and asked well in advance, as a result they were very prompt with a refund for the return though to their credit. Generally would definitely recommend staying with them but maybe buy boat tickets yourself

Great location right at waterfront. About 150 m from Pier. Very clean and comfortable Garden double room. I loved the traditional shower and toilet outside, which is walled but without a roof. No one can see in (unless you fly a drone over!). If your somewhat conservative this may be an issue but I loved the serenity and feeling of the shower in the warm , fresh air. Pool is great, and food/breakfast solid. Try not to use Padang Bai as a 'one night stand' to or from the Gili Islands - it has a couple of good beaches with surprisingly good coral/fish close to town - Blue Lagoon and Tias Bagul (White Sand Beach). Further past town is Candidasa, and further on is Virgin Beach - grest restaurants, good snorkelling, white sand, relaxed vibes and good swimming.

Nothing

Very nice spacious room with a large balcony and a view Great swimming pool right at the beachfront; Pool was very clean Great restaurant, especially the pizza Killer location right across from the beach and less than 5 minutes walk from Blue Lagoon snorkel spot Very helpful dive shop staff and of course very convenient to book your dives right from the hotel In general, everything was just as I expect it, clean, properly maintained, helpful staff, and awesome atmosphere

The playlist at the restaurant was pretty depressing; not really appropriate for the holiday vibe of the hotel

I cannot speak highly enough of this resort. The location is great, the rooms are clean, comfortable, generously sized and great value for money. The restaurant on site is great and the spa is absolutely a must visit for an amazing massage. All of the staff are friendly and extremely helpful with any questions and requests. I came here for a diving trip to complete AOW certification and could not have been happier. The dive team were amazing. Highly professional and knowledgeable and just great fun to be diving with. The equipment available is top quality and the dive sites in the area are also excellent and suitable for any levels. Definitely a location that is on my return trip list.

Friendly personnel, quickly answered my questions in Whatsapp. Very beautiful view from the window to the sea. A swimming pool 10 meters from the restaurant, 10 meters from the room and 10 meters from the car). One of the main idea of the hotel is providing diving lessons, so it is reasonable to book it for this aim. It should be a very tasty Italian pizza in the restaurant, but we couldn't try it - on the dinner the waiting time was more than one hour, and on the lunch time the wood stove was not working))

Air conditioner that blows straight on two our beds. You can not turn it off - would be very hot, but if you leave it turned on - you'll catch a cold. So I had to wake up every 1 hour to turn on|off it. It was very easy to wake up regularly - street dogs helped me with it - all night long, street dogs barked right in front of the windows and so loudly that it was almost impossible to sleep )))

My room at Absolute Scuba was beautifully clean and comfortable with good aircon, a drinking water dispenser and a lovely balcony. The location directly opposite the beach was perfect for me, close to the ferry terminal and a short walk to shops for necessities. All staff I interacted with were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Masih, in reception, was an absolute delight to chat with. While I'm not yet a scuba diver I am a keen snorkeller and thoroughly enjoyed the morning out on the boat, snorkelling with the most beautiful fish, a gorgeous turtle and stunning coral. Highly recommend Absolute Scuba and will definitely stay again.

The only thing I didn't like was leaving!

I was in Padangbai for snorkelling. The location is great as it is only 5 min walk from the Blue lagoon beach which is amazing place for snorkelling. The bungalow was clean, calm and comfortable though it’s is a bit dark (not so much daylight inside). The only huge problem is the WiFi. No internet in the room and the rest of the area very very bad internet. So if you do need WiFi I recommend you to choose different hotel. Apart of that, the place is very calm, relaxed , beautiful , beachfront and I do recommend for snorkelling and diving experience. I had to stay only 3 days bit in the end I exert de to 5.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We didn’t come here with the intention to dive, more to visit the beaches. However, we did end up booking onto the snorkelling trip which we thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. We have never seen fish or coral like it. We even extended our stay here to do some more snorkelling, and the staff were very accommodating to this request. The rooms have everything you could need, outdoor seating, drying rack, fresh towels offered by housekeeping two days in, hot showers and even a water dispenser, etc. The on-site restaurant was good and the staff there were friendly. We had both breakfast and dinner here. We highly recommend if planning to make a trip to Padang Bai.

Nothing 😊
