Pondok Sari

Lovely gardens and restaurant, lots of lounging places. Beachfront with loungers under the trees. People/families enjoying the safe beach and snorkeling. Staff were all nice and prepared to make sure your stay is a good one. Old style Bali deco is interesting. The pool is very pretty and clean. Close to other restaurants on Main Street. Acknowledging that it was a very wet rainy season Hotel needs some roof leak and plumbing maintenance but it didn’t bother us. Onsite dive shop very accommodating and safety conscious.|Would stay here again.

One of the most beautiful hotels I've been to in Bali. Very attentive and friendly staff, lush green garden, great spa, many beautiful wood carvings, statues and other small thoughtful things to make this place really special. Very good restaurant! Great diving and snorkeling base!

A pondok is a traditional Indo house. The rooms here are good/basic but very dark. Lots of dark timber panelling. Make sure you leave the mosquito net set up to stop them from bothering you at night. The air conditioning needs to be left on as the one in our room was a bit small for the room but it was on the entire time we were there. The big trees at the beach make this hotel the best location for lazing on the beach. There is the Kerang diving school at the hotel(most of the beachfront hotels have a dive shop) and the boats to mejengan island load right out front. Recommend the one day dive if you have ever wanted to dive with scuba gear. The staff are lovely and speak good English.

My kids and I were enjoy stay there. Night time they have Balinese dance. Make reservation for dinner to get good table. Dive center on the beach, you can book in the morning, or go snorkeling in front of beach hotel.

Nice rooms with a bath but a bit outdated. The breakfast was based on the local taste. We loved the swimingpool! For a five star hotel the service was not perfect and not personal.

Not bad for a few nights. Beautiful garden layout with many trees and plants.|We stayed in a bungalow with shower and bathroom outside. It was okay but not our preference. In the room no TV and fridge. |There is a nice restaurant but no music or entertainment. Dinner and lunch menu was good and the food we had was great, also the staff is very friendly. |One morning we had the breakfast menu to order from which was very good with great fresh juice, fresh cut fruit, fresh strong coffee and good food.|Next day they served a buffet which was soso and limited, no asian food but surprisingly they offered french fries and pancakes. The food was not very warm either.|All in all a nice hotel for a few days stay like we did on our roundtrip of Bali.|Last but not least a 3% surcharge for credit card payment.

We had stayed here 20 years ago. While we were not staying there this time we had many drinks and meals at the hotel. It's a beautiful garden and looks the same as it di then. It's well-maintained. The staff are very attentive and friendly. We had many lunchtime snacks, cocktails in the evening and we went for dinner twice. The food is great, well prepared, fresh and authentic. The location is amazing and next time we will definitely stay there again.

Great location, fantastic staff (compliment for (Edhy), dissapointing food okish accommodation (dark, thin walls, decor bit tacky, beachfront very clutterd with tables and loungers) Good location but maybe there are better alternatives
