Apa Kabar Villas

We loved our stay at Apa Kabar! For the very low cost we really don’t have any complaints. Staff were very nice, our room was cleaned each day, the pool was super fun, and there is decent snorkeling right in front of the hotel. It is an older hotel, but for the price you can’t beat it! Our boys stayed in the loft in our one room cottage. It was perfect for them. A little hot, but with the fan they did fine. Breakfast included is fine. We were able to arrange bike rentals and laundry for really cheap rates right at the hotel too.

We booked this villa in January, well in advance, as three separate families. The photos and reviews showed a clean, well-kept property. In reality, it was the complete opposite.||||We arrived at 10 PM with our group of six (three adults and three children). The moment we stepped inside, we were hit by an overwhelming smell of dampness. The rooms were infested with mosquitoes.||||When we asked an employee for help, the only solution offered was mosquito spray. After spraying the entire room, dead mosquitoes began falling onto the beds and floor. The chemical smell became unbearable, and we had to sit outside late at night because the air indoors was impossible to breathe. My 5-year-old asthmatic son immediately struggled to breathe due to the humidity and strong odour.||||When I tried to shower the children, there was no water. Staff managed to fix it temporarily, but the water kept cutting off repeatedly during our stay, making it impossible to shower or wash properly.||||The conditions inside were appalling: every pillow was brown, mouldy, and filthy beneath the pillowcases; the curtains were covered in mould; there was no hand soap or shower gel provided. When they took away our dirty towels, they never brought replacements unless we asked — and even then, they gave us only two towels for six people, claiming they had no more.||||When I showed the state of the pillows to the employee and asked to speak to the manager, he first apologised, blaming “high season” — an unacceptable excuse for unhygienic conditions. Then, shockingly, at 11 PM with three small children during peak season, he told me that if I wasn’t happy, I should leave.||||The villa was dirty throughout: animal droppings and dust in corners, grime on surfaces. The next morning, in one of the rooms, we found a flying cockroach the size of my hand — something I had never seen in my life.||||The reality bears no resemblance to the online photos — they are misleading. The other families travelling with us faced exactly the same problems in their rooms.||||This was inhumane, unacceptable, and felt like a scam. You pay for accommodation but get unsafe, unsanitary conditions and rude treatment. I will be adding photos so future travellers can see the truth. Book here at your own risk — there are far cleaner, safer, and more honest options available.

The villas, decor, staff and service are just as described on their website. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The cafe has been renovated and has a very Italian atmosphere and the coffee is excellent. Plenty of off road parking. Good snorkeling off a very clean and maintained beach. This is my third trip to Apa Kabar and I’ll be back.

Grabbed breaky here in there new Cafe. Very nice. Wonderful staff. Great coffee and breakfast they meals menu looks very good we might stop in for lunch or tea one day.

Everything was relatively decent during my 2 week stay at Apa Kabar Unfortunately when the hotel bill came there was an issue as I was told it's 50k per day for bike rental but the bill showed 70k. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but it was the hotel manager's mistake, not mine so I expected them to take the hit and give me the price I was quoted; Instead I was given quite a rude and unapologetic response Apart from that, the staff are really friendly and helpful apart from the aforementioned manager and overall it's pretty good value for money, right on the seafront for 600k per night. Sadly there are a few cleanliness issues as well such broken & dusty lamp shades and a dirty mosquito net in my room The restaurant has some pretty good dishes like the fish curry; Quality varies depending on what you order This could have been a 5 star rating, it's a shame about the manager's attitude and the few cleanliness issues which could have been easily mitigated

The villas are right on Amed beach which is full of working fishing boats. It's a pebble beach with good snorkeling right beside the villas on the left. You can book snorkeling and sunset tours right out front with a local called Johan. I was in the private villa with its own infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Service was friendly, food was good. I'd absolutely stay again.

Been twice before ... great location. Would not recommend it again... WARNING........Apa Kabar cancelled reservation through bookings for our Christmas reservation a week before arrival. (We booked 6 months earlier) Bookings said the establishment cancelled, they had overbooked was then told villa pool needed urgent repairs even though villa was still advertised. No hot or cold water and brought sheets from home and cleaning products. Due to the great location, it was no big issue. But I can't overlook cancelling accommodation a week before arriving for Christmas and untruths.

Location is the best! In front of the beach but rooms are old. Problems with water. Sometimes no water, sometimes just only hot water. Or just very weak water. Very poor breakfast. No good coffee. Not very well clean rooms. Looks very old. Very slow at check in. We texted before arriving a few hours ago and room wasn’t ready. We just liked only the location.
