Santai Hotel Reviews

Very clean and nice hotel

Unique experience 

My sincere recommendation!! My husband and I spent most of our vacation in this hotel, an incredible atmosphere of peace and comfort, the staff is very friendly, they give advice and help with any questions. A beautiful pool and a cozy house, right on the beach there is a great place for snorkeling, you can rent fins and masks at the hotel. The breakfasts are super! We will definitely come back here next time.

In the relatively remote area of ​​Aimei Bay, it is very good to have such a hotel with local characteristics. Clean and sanitary, the dinner is good and the breakfast is also rich. But they do not provide toothbrush.

The scenery is great. It is also very pleasant to choose this place alone. Listening to the sound of the waves makes you feel very good. However, it would be more convenient to rent a motorcycle to travel here.

Very nice hotel, small two-level houses, the child really went to sleep on the second floor. The only thing is a lot of mosquitoes.

The lighting is not good, there is a peculiar smell in the room, there are all kinds of bugs and geckos, the air conditioner doesn't work very well, and the service staff are relatively unfriendly.

Convenient place

First of all, the view in this hotel is to die for!! Right next to the beach so you can ask for some snorkelling equipment and do snorkelling in front of the hotel. Though I do recommend booking a trip to see the Japanese ship wreck!! Komang was a really good guy and made our stay feel really really nice!!

I gave it full points even though the structure is a little old and needs some repair (which is happening) . Having said that the team is absolutely friendly and helpful, the gardens well tended, the view over the sea is fabulous and the some of the dishes really yum (try the tuna poke bowl). If a quiet, small place with a family feel is your thing, then this is your thing. No lout noisy Instagram clowns anywhere. The snorkeling off the beach is good and gets truly wow when you snorkel to the left until you reach Amed bay

Santai Hotel is located in the southern end of Amed. We stayed in an Ocean View Bungalow 2. It was slightly set back from the freeform pool with plenty of sun beds to relax. The air-conditioned bungalows are lovely. High set with a mezzanine which is where our daughter slept in a canopied double bed. Our bed was also with a canopy. The bathroom and shower is located outdoors giving it a very tropical feel. Each morning the staff would deliver a flask of boiling water for tea and coffee to the front balcony and I sat watching the fishermen push their boats out as the sun rose behind them. Incredibly peaceful. We had early starts being picked up by Adventure Divers each morning at 7:50am. Breakfast is not usually until 7:30am but we were accommodated by ordering the night before. This way we had time to enjoy a delicious Lumberjack hot meal with fruit and coffee. There is a nice Chinese restaurant across the road and ice cream next door. Plenty of warungs and resturants nearby or a short taxi to Jemeluk beach which has more resturants and bars. If you want a view there are some cheap resturants at Sunset Point area. The staff were incredible Komang at reception was very resourceful in arranging our every request. I don't have all the names but the staff were all super friendly and always keen to have a chat. This place has fantastic snorkeling right off the beach. It's easy without strong currents. We had our own equipment but they also hire it. Our daughter and I had an Emerald treatment. It was included in our package staying for 6 nights. I'm not sure exactly what it was meant to do placing 10 emerald stones on face, chest and belly button. We did both manage to have a snooze listening to the waves lapping up beside the outdoor spa bed . Would definitely recommend this property. Quiet, relaxing and lovely staff.

The beautiful small hotel is located directly by the sea with private access to the black beach of Amed. The suites are furnished in Balinese style and have their own terrace where you can sit in the evening and listen to the sound of the sea. The staff are very friendly and courteous and are happy to help quickly with any questions. Breakfast is served in the open-plan restaurant, which also offers a view of the sea.

Beautiful villas right on the beach, not too far from Amed (we did walk once). The staff were very accommodating. The restaurant was very good, cold beer and tasty food. The swimming pool was great to cool down in. The villas are a good size and have sea views. The hotel staff organised an early morning fishing trip, with local fishers, which was awesome.

Before sharing this review, I tried to get in touch with the hotel itself via email. However, I have not heard anything back to date. Together with my wife and our 1-year-old son, we stayed at this hotel from February 10th to February 16th, 2024. Let me start by saying, the location is fantastic, and the staff is very kind. Apart from the fact that there are a lot of mosquitoes, the air conditioning smelled bad. Apparently, the air conditioning was so dirty and poorly maintained that the entire family contracted a lung infection as a result. This has put quite a damper on our vacation. F.Y.I. We stayed in cottage 1.
