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!

Heaven on earth. It had everything you can think of. For a layback hotels. All the details have been well thought. The little houses are very clean and comfortable. The staff very alert and nice. The food was excellent. Very relax place. You can snorkel right in front of the hotel. The desk can organize any tour or massage. Our only regret is that ee did not stay long enough.

Worse place in Bali and false advertising
Very noisy rooms and low standard it the 4-5 star hotel that it’s advertised in all the major websites We have booked for four people and only 2 towels provided. 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.

Nice hotel close to the beach.
We found all hotel staff very friendly and attentive. Our room was initially pretty dark and they went in and changed the lights making it much brighter. Pool was nice and the food and drinks at the restaraunt were very good, the best we experienced in our trip to Bali.

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.

Staff were amazing
My boyfriend and I had such a great stay here. The location is amazing. You can walk right out onto the beach. The room was so cute. I loved the porch and eating breakfast up there. In the morning you wake up to coffee and tea waiting outside for you. It was so nice. The bed was conformable as well and the room was kept very clean. They arranged snorkelling for us which was awesome and so east to arrange with them. I can't say enough nice things about the staff. We unfortunately got into a pretty bad motorbike accident when we were there and the staff helped us out so much! Pena, a gentlemen that worked at the reception desk, really stood out. He went way above and beyond to help us out. I can't thank him enough for his incredible generosity. I don't know what I would have done without his help and the help of the other staff! We would stay here again in a second. I highly recommend!!
