A Slice of Paradise at The Palms on Nusa Ceningan I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Palms on Nusa Ceningan, and it was everything I hoped for and more. This hotel combines the beauty of a stunning location with warm hospitality, amazing food, and incredible drinks – all making for a truly unforgettable stay. The location is unbeatable. Perched right above the ocean, The Palms offers some of the best sunset views I've ever seen. Each evening, we were treated to a sky painted in breathtaking colors, all while lounging by the infinity pool or relaxing in their cozy outdoor seating. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave. The food and drinks are outstanding as well. The on-site restaurant serves a fantastic range of dishes, each one better than the last. Whether you're in the mood for fresh seafood, local flavors, or a comforting international dish, the menu doesn’t disappoint. And the cocktails! Perfectly mixed, refreshing, and imaginative, they were the perfect complement to the tropical setting. Don’t miss the chance to sip one of their signature cocktails as you watch the sun dip below the horizon. The staff deserves special recognition. Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. They truly go above and beyond, making us feel right at home while anticipating our every need. Their local knowledge was invaluable as they helped us explore the best spots on Nusa Ceningan, from hidden beaches to scenic viewpoints. To top it all off, the hotel is impeccably organized and well-managed. From the room amenities to the spotless pool and dining areas, it’s clear that the team at The Palms prioritizes every guest's comfort and experience. In short, The Palms on Nusa Ceningan is the ideal retreat for anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and heartfelt hospitality.

This place is a great find for families and couples looking for an escape from the other islands. It has been a few years since I ventured back and while there are a lot if new hotels and restaurants the islands quietness and charm are still present. As a surfer Secrets is right in front of the hotel. It's a great beach covered in sand at low and high tide and plenty of snorkeling wihen the surf is small. There are two swimming pools, shaded areas, lounge chairs and bar/restaurant to use until 9pm each day. Live music some nights and due to the small nature of the hotel was easy to meet other couples/families to enjoy the space. The staff are lovely were extremely helpful assisting with transfers, babysitters and responding to our needs. Thank you, Jordan and the rest of the team, for our stay.

Nothing really.

Excellent view. Friendly, prompt staff. Ample chairs to sit outside with lots of shade. Lots of excellent restaurants just walking distance away for dinner or lunch. Excellent Spa just around the corner and also a convenience store. Looked at the surfers in the waves everyday. Love hearing the crashing of waves every night.

Couldn’t walk barefoot on old wooden deck at pool area. Even at check in they warned about splinters and to please wear shoes. Toilet in unit was not flushing. They sorted that within the hour. No hot shower that night. They fixed the pipe and exchanged the gas bottle the next morning. Breakfast wasnt really great. Was a set menu with limited options. Will be better not to prepay, so that you have more options to choose from on 2nd page. Make sure you book a room without the room above you. The wooden stairs going to second story is legit inside your room. Blocked off with wood, and the people stomp up and down that stairs from the early hours till late at night. Banging their wooden entry door. And you can hear every word they say, sneeze etc.

The location was excellent, rooms kept spotlessly clean, great choice of food that caters to all dietary requirement including vegetarian and vegan options, the staff were exceptional, attentive, polite, friendly, always available and polite. I highly recommend this place as it has everything that a large resort has yet has fewer rooms, which makes it more intimate and comfortable. The rooms are large and kept very clean, beds are comfortable. I cannot praise the staff enough.

Beautiful property on the cliff top with stunning ocean & coastline views . We stayed in Bungalow 1 with views from the gorgeous & very comfortable bed through to the pool area & ocean. The bungalow is well appointed & spacious. The staff & Jordan the manager were all very friendly, courteous & helpful. Also the location is great with a mini mart, laundry , restaurants & bars close by.

Absolutely nothing! 😁

The view from the accommodation was exceptional and the sound of the waves beating the beach was relaxing.The owners,jay and Wayne were so attentive to us and everyone on the property.The food was amazing ,especially the fish of the day!The island is beautiful,dream beach and the Snorkling was the highlight on the island adventures.We seen a turtle on the Snorkling trip,which was amazing.The trip organiser Jordon sorted us with a cheap motor bike hire and escorted us to the location for the trip,also escorted us on and off the island.Top man!PS cocktails were strong,which we liked and we even invited jay and Wayne to our wedding.That’s how much we loved our stay.Thanks for the bottle of fiz too on departure.Nice touch!👌

Nothing

Absolutely beautiful accommodation with direct beach access, Infinity pool and amazing views of the ocean and sunset. If you're a surfer, this is the place to be. We were greeted by Jordan who went above and beyond throughout the entire stay to make sure we were happy and comfortable. He helped with scooter hire, food, surfboard rental and even books. The rooms are simple but very comfortable, with big bathrooms and comfy beds. I loved the little flower arrangement they did to celebrate our honeymoon too. We had breakfast included and the banana pancakes were so delicious! As was the smoothie bowl. Overall I would highly recommend The Palms to anyone looking to stay in Cenigan :)

Are you ready for an adventure? This location is on a cliff edge of an outer island called Ceningan Island, facing west. Your adventure will start at the boat marina, Sanur Beach, you can book your entire trip though the hotel, which is recommended. Allow a day each side for travel. The ferry is a fast enclosed cameraman, it takes about 30-40 minutes to reach Lembongan Island where you will be transferred by taxi-bus to the Yellow Bridge, make sure you get help with your bags to cross the bridge. You will then be taken on the local Taxi-bus, to the hotel. When settled-in, you will find everything you need is available from the hotel. Basically, transport is now by motor-scooter everywhere. There is a hotel menu, but just ask at anytime and you will receive. We found all the staff to be extremely friendly and they did their utmost to make sure our time was enjoyable. We booked a boat for half a day and went looking for Manta-rays. Another adventure in it's self. Just before sunset, everyone appears outside in or near the pool to enjoy the incredible sunset with a cool drink of choice. I found all meals and drinks to be very reasonably priced.

Walking across the Yellow Bridge, for a couple of oldies was not the best idea, we could have paid peanuts to have our bags carried for us and ride on the back of a motor-scooter.

Amazing location, great views. A little out of the main strip so great for those that want some peace and quiet. The food was excellent and flavoursome. Staff were attentive and helpful. The room could have been a little cleaner but it was still good. Expect a laid back, rustic, relaxing spot and watch some surfing action. Evenings here are so lovely, relax in the pool, watch little bats catching their dinner and watch the waves crash in right up the hotel walls. Sleep to the sound of the ocean.

There is nothing to not like.

We loved the FOOD - the friendly staff (Wayan our front of house man - outstandingly, friendly and helpful and Jordan who arranged our snorkeling) - the comfy beds - the roar of the ocean - watching the sunsets from the infinity pool - the convenience store a 2 minute walk away - the WONDERFUL beauty spa a 10 minute walk away. We’d stay again in a heartbeat. Just note you need to pay the taxi man that takes you from the yellow bridge to the Palms - was 100,000 IDR When we travelled. The Palms arranged our Rocky Fast Boat transfer from Seminyak Villa to Sanur Hotel at beginning and end. Very easy.

Not a thing to dislike about it. Just keep in mind it’s Island styles and not on the mainland. So has a more rustic feel.
