Fantastic property, with the most amazing Balinese architecture throughout. Such a delight to walk through the property grounds. Even the swimming pool is stunning, set in the garden amongst statues of Buddha and under the low canopy. The bungalow was cosy yet comfortable, and perfect for a family of 3, and the private 'outdoor' bathroom was delightful. Only 30 minutes drive from the National Park, so convenient for anyone who wants to try snorkelling or birdwatching.

Dining room staff could have been more enthusiastic, and although breakfast was good, the only other meal we had there was very average and rather overpriced (much better dining choices are just a few minutes walk from the property). Also, it would have been nice if we had tea making facilities in the room. Our biggest complaint is that the only drinking water provided in the room was in the form of very small plastic bottles - extremely environmentally unfriendly, and no option of regular filtered water, so if one wants more drinking water one has to go to the restaurant (only when it is open mind you!) to buy yet more plastic bottles. (advice: buy your own 2 litre bottles in the nearby grocery store!)

The location allows for snorkelling and diving boat trips to Menjangan Is, which is the main reason to visit. The hotel has lovely old Javanese panels and jogelos and beautiful gardens. Staff are great, very friendly and helpful. Meals were good too.

Mosquito's were a bit annoying, the hotel could do with fogging.

Beautiful, well maintained grounds with lush plants and lots of water ponds. Restaurant and pool are conveniently located at the end of the park. Beach lounges in the shade under big fig tree. Diving and snorkelling at your doorstep, no need to leave. Staff were exeptional!

Superb location You can swim from your breakfast table! The dive company boat can pick you up right in front of the hotel breakfast area! Beautiful garden and pool area.If you can afford one of the Javanese antique villas do it ! My wife loved the in house spa treatment.

We loved it! The resort is very beautiful, clean and calm. The water is nice and we especially loved snorkeling with the wild turtles in the house reef and within the coral sculptures of the biorock conservation programm. We also did our SSI OWD certification and it was awesome. Komang took such good care of us and made sure we performed well and exercised everything we need to know for starting our diving experience. We felt very comfortable with him as a teacher and the Karang Divers in the whole. We are more than happy that we made the first steps to become Divers with you guys! The food was very good and we loved having breakfast while watching the ocean. We also tried the full body massage and liked it.

Nothing to complain!

The restaurant menu doesn’t cater to vegans but they were accommodating . The location is magnificent

I think Pondok Sari would benefit by adopting a more ecological ethos. Instead of providing little plastic water bottles everyday they should place a large water dispenser in every room for guests to refill their own bottles.

The amazing detail of the surrounds. Every day I’d see something new. The staff were excellent in every way

We had a relaxing 4 night stay at this picturesque beach resort. A truly relaxed setting on a calm sandy beach, with tasty local food and lovely staff-thanks Mike, Edhy and team!. We definitely took advantage of the terrific swimming and snorkelling right off the beach-seeing so many colorful fish and other ocean life brought much happiness. Also, try to get out for the sunrise dolphin tour arranged right next door on the beach - we saw saw so many spinner dolphins we lost track of the total! I hope to be back again soon!

The rooms and its furnishings. The charming little swimming pool. And the beach. You can swim at high or low tides and there arent any crocodiles or deadly sea wasps to contend with.

Nothing.

The hotel area is so beatifull
