Location and getting around
The beach setting suits travelers who want to be by the water rather than in the center of town. The hotel arranges transfers from the airport, the cruise terminal and the ferry terminal, usually for a surcharge, and guests are asked to contact the property about a day before arrival to arrange pick-up. A free area shuttle and bike rental help with short trips.
Facilities
The on-site restaurant, Komodo Bar, serves Indonesian dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and buffet breakfast is charged separately on some rates. There is free Wi-Fi, free valet parking, a conference center, and laundry and dry-cleaning services.
Who it suits
Couples and families who want sea views, a pool and a quieter atmosphere, and groups using the conference facilities. The rating is lower than at the top-rated resorts, so read recent guest comments, especially if you are sensitive to maintenance details, and weigh the price against the setting.
Planning tips
Because transfers are often charged separately, ask about the cost of the airport or port pick-up when you contact the hotel, and compare it with a taxi. The beach in front is pleasant for walks rather than serious swimming, and the pool is the better option on hot afternoons. If you plan to dine out, ask the front desk to arrange a driver, since the area is quiet in the evening.
Sunset from the terrace or the beach is a highlight, and the hotel can help book boat trips and tours. Check recent guest comments before you book, because the rating is more mixed than at the top resorts.
