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

“Great Place To Wind Down”

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.

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.
