The staff are very kind and nice. They try their best to accommodate the guests. The breakfast is very generous. They bring a tray of coffee and tee to your balcony early in the morning. These are the only things I liked about this place. It is way over prices for what you get. The main issue is cleanliness, on the first look, it seems clean but not really, everything is run over like the cushions on the balcony are very dirty and stained. I would not sit on them. The room although huge needs serious cleaning. The sheets are old and a bit smelly. The out side shower is full with bugs especially at night, and the bugs find their way to the room. I could not leave anything open. The door does not really look so you do not feel secure. Add to all this the noise. No isolation. So could not sleep for 3 nights. The room is advertised as ocean view but you hardly can see the ocean. The WIFI does not work so you need your own Internet. The hotel is so far from the main places in Amed s you have to walk up and down hilly road with no side curb for almost 20 minutes in the heat. Grab does not really work in Amed. I had to ask them to organize a transport for me to Sanur, and the price was very high. I would not stay in this hotel again. The place have potential if the invest in some renovation and serious cleaning and dealing with infestations. One staff member will tend to the restaurant, make coffee and reception so you should wait for the poor soul to run around. I really loved the

The location of the property is great! We had the ocean view bungalow which was nice to see the ocean and hear the waves. The only downside is the pool is right in front of the bungalow so we heard the guests that were hanging out by the pool.

Beautiful hotel, authentic bamboo structure with wonderful view of the ocean, staff were very nice too. The only downside was the noise, there's a very noisy live music bar close by that kept us awake until midnight, there was construction going on that was still happening when we were there even though the note in the room said it was supposed to be done by that time, and you can very vividly hear the nearby road in the room.

A lovely little hotel!

This is a lovely little hotel. Nice bungalows in a beautiful garden and a great pool. The people are helpful and the restaurant is serving excellent food. The breakfasts are very special. They are served at your table .. no need to run around trying to find your eggs at a buffet. This is more civilized. The hotel is right on the beach and you can snorkel right there. I saw all kind of beautiful fish no more than 100 meters from the hotel. But .. the beaches here are not of the golden sand type. But rather grey pebbles. I stayed for three days and saw no reason to leave the hotel except for jumping into the sea to look at pretty fish. The hotel has everything you need. A great place to relax!

Linen with hair and stains Room lock Brocken no one borthered to change it Ants in the bed (green ants they bite) Extra bed was a mattress on the floor No one tried to address any issue promptly and/or professionally We left after the first night Very unsafe for kids The hotel it’s old and very decadent The sea its amazing and worth a visit but stay in different hotel

Airport Shuttle is NOT Roundtrip

Staying at Santai Hotel was very enjoyable and they were very helpful with booking activities. There were a few occasions were I felt the staff or the drivers took liberties to get extra money out of us. On one tour, the driver/ tour guide told us we needed to hire another tour guide to see rice fields. The description stated the guide would already be included, but had to pay extra when we got there. We also found out (the hard way) that the airport shuttle is not roundtrip as advertised and had to pay quite a bit more on check out. They would not talk about the confusion and insisted we pay. The trip was great, except for the ending suprise.

Pure relaxation

We had the most wonderful stay at Santai for just one night. We were welcomed with cold drinks and towels by very friendly and helpful staff who spoke brilliant english. Our room was lovely a four poster bed with our own balcony, very private and rustic. The hotel is right on the beach and we enjoyed fantastic snorkelling in the area. The little touches the hotel added were lovely, like having fresh tea and coffee left out on our balcony in the morning before we went down to breakfast, and overall the food was fantastic too we had breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Would really recommend this boutique hotel to anyone in the Amed area.

Sleepy little bungalows by the beach relax you!

Great, tiny little hotel. We stayed in an ocean view bungalow. Opened right onto the pool. The location was amazing, and the room was old Bali. It was an incredible value and relaxing in the extreme.
