We booked into our Presidential Suite after 3hr drive from Sanur. The room is huge. The bathroom is as big as most hotel rooms if not bigger. The staff were quit helpful we we made ourselves understood. Breakfast was ok not great but it filled a hole. Restaurant food was good on a whole. We tended to eat out when... More

$us70 per night for a "De-Luxe" room that had no phone, (the in-room book stated you could order room service. I'm not sure how as they didn't even give us a tin can & string.) There also was no refrigerator. Reception was extremely dark. The food was dreadful. They couldn't even cook Indonesian food properly let alone anything else. The... More

The only reason to visit this hotel is to swim with the dolphins and see their mini-zoo, but this cannot compensate the unbelievably poor condition that those animals live in. Perhaps, the dolphins are kept more or less fine, as they attract the tourists and bring the owner a lot of money (we paid 70$ for 20 minutes), but the... More

This hotel has nice exterior, Balinese style, and lots of green areas. The room is spacious, but the overal interior is dingy. There's a shelf made of ceramics where we can use for luggage and clothes. We can change clothes inside the room as well. Without door, just a curtain. The bathroom is also spacious with bathtub, but unattractive. The... More

This hotel is not a wildlife or dolphin friendly place. The animals are kept in very cramped conditions and are uncared for in a correct manner. Unfortunately the staff only do what they are told or allowed to do by their distant Chinese owners who are only interested in the money and not the animals. I had to point out... More
