Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful property built by the architect owner using local materials and styles. It is one of the most serene and relaxing places I’ve ever stayed with a view out over the rock to the sea. The staff were friendly, professional and super helpful without ever being overbearing - it was a luxury hotel that still felt like home! We enjoyed a beautiful walk out over the reef, rockpooling on our way to lunch, and a trip to the local Gede ruins, but we equally enjoyed just relaxing and taking in the calm and beautiful surroundings. And the meals were delicious - lovingly prepared local ingredients with lots of variety.
Negative: Nothing negative - just to note that there was AC in our room - although the natural breeze is good, but given the property is set up to be as ecological as possible at night the lower power means it won’t run super cold if you’re looking for that.
Summary: Perfection! Serene place to relax and enjoy. Shh don’t tell anyone!
