This is a great place to enjoy easy access to the dive sites in the area. The staff took care of everything, just jump on board the boat and head out. Not crowded like some other places in Bali, very layed back

We have literally left the hotel and I couldn't wait to write a review. It is our first time in Bali and our expectations are continually being surpassed. I had some correspondence with the staff at Naya Gawana as it was our 29th wedding anniversary whilst staying. Emails were prompt and very helpful. The attention to detail is sublime. Everything from the emails to arrival, as well as the continual efforts by the staff and management whilst you are there. We would recommend the mangrove tour, which has been recently revised to support the local community. It was beyond words. The guide was amazing. We saw deer, heron, egret and many kingfisher diving and catching fish. The tour concluded at sunset drinking hot ginger tea on a traditional Bali boat. We also booked the romantic meal on the jetty. Such a labelled event in the UK would probably lead to disappointment. Falling far short of the mind's eye. We can honestly say it was one of the most truly wonderful experiences of our life. The jetty was decorated and prepared. We had three staff attending to our needs. There were flower decorations and traditional Bali music played by an accomplished member of staff. For over two hours we were treated like royalty. A night we shall not forget. The attention to detail was incredible. Staff discretely checked with us throughout the day. The manager came to check personally and spoke with us throughout our stay. We can't thank the staff enough for their attention to detail, their friendliness and the dedication to us to ensure we had a great time. All that and an infinity pool, great food in the restaurant and sited in a national park, surrounded by mangrove. Thank you for everything xxxx

We were very keen to snorkel the beautiful Menjangan Island reefs again from two years ago and we are glad to have picked this resort. Their dive shop arranged the snorkeling trips directly from their jetty. We stayed at the Mangrove suite which featured a large outdoor bathroom with a private lounge pool. The staff were friendly and attentive. The resort had a great 35 meter pool and a hot spa overlooking the bay, perfect for relaxation.

Excellent hotel, beautiful views, good food, environmentally friendly, etc. We only stayed there for 3 nights but regretted not extending our stay. The hotel is quiet, there's an infinity pool with gorgeous views of the mangrove, a hot tub for adults only with similar views. There's plenty of deck chairs to choose from. The service is like most places in Bali: super helpful and polite staff who will do everything for you. The food in the restaurant is lovely (I recommend the satay mix that comes in a mini charcoal barbecue to your table!). There are kayaks you can rent and easily go to very near sandy beaches (with some nice snorkeling spots, restaurants, etc). The hotel has water fountains for drinking water as they don't use plastic. The toiletries follow the same pattern (and the bathrooms are outdoors which is really cool). The place is quite isolated, especially because it's near a national park. But if you're looking for nature and quiet, this place is perfect. If anything, I'd say prices can be on the high end for Bali, but I think it's expected for such an isolated place. I'd definitely recommend the hotel.
