Amarta Beach Retreat By Nakula

The staff were awesome very attentive, they went above and beyond to make you feel welcome .The grounds were immaculate, The new spa facility was very nice,great deals, good value for prices. The smell in the bathroom was very strong I understand where it came from but having some sort of diffuser going would be a great comfort...

The food are a little bit pricey

Beach front, landscape, staff and room excellent. Not because of hotel, but due to harvesting season, the burnt smoke caused me lung issues. If you have respiratory issues,. please avoid it on harvest season. In addition, breakfast can be improved.

Prior to the visit, guests must deal with the reservation department. They are robotic and very difficult to connect with. It's also important to note that buildings are being built all around the property so outside of the property is all Construction.

The beach front resort The location a bit far from downtown

The location is out of this world. Very green, lush and with private beach. All staff were just so great that we felt like being treated by family. To name a few Mr. Gede (the F&B manager) is a gem. He made sure we were taken care or to the smallest detail. A true professional yet so homely at the same time. Also the General Manager Mr. Made made sure he talked to each guest atleast once every single day - something which is rare these days. Also, Ms. Setia, Ms. Wina, Ms. Tia, Ms. Indra (from spa), Mr. Putu (supervisor), Mr. Dewa(housekeeping) and Mr. Zafan, deserves special mention for their extremely professional and warm hospitality. They truly are assets to Amarta. We had a small discomfort at our Villa and the management was more than happy to listen to us and do the needful at all times to make us feel comforted thereafter. Bed and Pillows are so comfy. The property was so good that we cancelled our next booking at another property and ended up staying in Amarta for seven nights instead of our original plan of three nights. Thank you very much Team Amarta for giving us a lifetime of memories. The only restaurant in the property has a limited menu (though the chef tried to accommodate our special requests as far as he could). But if you are staying for more than 2-3 nights, the limited options for all three meals becomes monotonous. The garden and walkways could use more lights to make it safe during darker hours. The three bedroom villa we stayed could use a bit more of regular maintenance. The staff should check the lights, TV, microwave etc is in working condition before arrival of guests every time (though they were happy to assist when notified). The private pool was of good size, but no fixes cleaning schedule unless requested. It clearly requires daily cleaning due to insects etc. falling into the water throughout the day. The plants, bushes etc in the private garden and the public walkway requires regular maintenance as well to ensure continued safety during darker hours. Garbage bin inside the villa not cleared by the cleaning staff daily, unless notified. As the kitchen being open to the garden area, even a small bit of food particle invited 100s of ants to the garbage bin, which made it unsafe for smaller kids. Less options for entertainment within the property, though the restaurant had some board games etc. These are just honest suggestions to improve and definitely not complaints or show stoppers. Will not affect our decision whether to stay there agin or not !

Everything good

Great breakfast and pools. Wi-fi was a little slow.

There was a disturbance in our villa, knowing that the disturbance was reported more than 3 times and there was no response or change of villa, knowing that there was maintenance and it was from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening, we could not sleep because of this thing

This resort is so picturesque with its immaculate tropical grounds and intimate vibe. It reminded me of Hawaii. It’s great for sunsets (if the weather permits). It’s secluded, which is what I wanted after Ubud. The hot water bath tub was so nice. The staff is kind and helpful. Great service. Because the hotel doesn’t offer my style of wine, I was pleased to have Grab deliver the wine I enjoy from far away as there’s nothing nearby. I loved sitting in front of the ocean listening to the waves, as well as the serene and peaceful evenings on my deck. The restaurant faces the ocean and has a decent menu selection. Not that you need to bring anything here. I just enjoy having specific drinks/snacks on hand, and had my driver stop at a grocery store on my way in. So having a fridge in my room was perfect, as I didn’t have to order room service every time. Construction construction construction! This is not posted anywhere on Amarta’s booking.com listing or website. I booked this resort because, I wanted peace and quiet after 5 (construction-traumatized) weeks in Ubud. When I arrived, I was taken to a villa in front of the actual construction area. I immediately had them move me. They did gladly, but unfortunately I was still woken up every morning around 8 am to either staff talking loudly and some type of generator and annoying hammering. The room I was moved to is right next to the reception area and the spa and because of the thin walls the outside goings-on were distracting. The blinds in my room had gaps in them and would not open or close all the way. You could see in my room at night, and if your a light sleeper like me the room is bright as the sun comes up. There was a strong odor coming from the toilet. Luckily, I brought incense. I feel like the noise and these minor things took away from this hotel feeling like a 5 star resort because it’s a lovely place and is very soothing and relaxing by the pools. Book a villa closer to the ocean. I would suggest to the management to have the staff refrain from yelling or speaking loudly near and around the villas themselves. Especially in the early hours. The spa could have been a little more luxurious for this type of resort. It’s just a few rooms. My hope is that they are building a spa with all this construction cause I’d love to come back when there’s no projects going on. Lastly, I had a massage and it left me bed ridden for a few days, as my back went out…making it painful to walk. Because of this, I shortened my stay in bali and returned to the US. Thankfully, the manager did credit me for the massage.

best for yogi .. food was great and was first time to see black sand.

The resort is absolutely beautiful. I wish they offered local typical dances or something else to do. The resort is very far from everywhere else in the island so you are pretty much contained to what you can do there.

It was amazing right on the beach Nothing

Enjoyed the stay great location would go back

Brilliant, quiet and relaxing location. Our expectations for Bali were already high and the hotel managed to surpass them. It's a gem of a hotel, tucked away in a less hectic part of the island. If you're looking for a few superbly relaxing days near the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud or Cangu, look no further.

The facility and its staff were awesome. Heavy rains entered our room one night; and flooded up to the bed. (this was not the fault of the facility). Food at Lily by the Sea was good (some choices were bland) but staff was great. Mie Goreng (free breakfast) was our favorite. The green mango and papaya/prawn salad was delicious! The actual location of the resort was far from any tourist areas. It takes 2 hours from airport to get to location. At night, the road is narrow and dark.

What wasn’t there to like!!!! Beautiful setting, location & so so peaceful

I had a wonderful time here! The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I especially recommend

Everything was wonderful Hotel,Room,Pool,Beach, only the? restaurant mmmmm ?

Resort is built just by the black sand beach which is easily accessible from within and offers great views & feels very peaceful. Also resort is very well maintained and nicely organised with great services & facilities. And variety of options for dining. It is located in a very remote location and only nearby touristic place is Tanah Lot. I’d recommend it if you just wanna relax in quiet & isolated place.
