Sea La Vie Resort Nusa Penida

You cannot beat the view of Sea la Vie in Nusa Penida! A beautiful infinity pool where you can see the harbor and sunset. Small swim up bar for convenience and a very kind staff! Our room was clean and so nice with a great little balcony. Be prepared for LOTS OF STAIRS. Air conditioning was legit.

Absolutely stunning views

It has a great view of the ocean and the place is well maintained for a secluded location at the the top of the hills. Would definitely need a taxi or a ride to get there as the road were quite rough.

Great ocean view

Pool location was great, temperature controlled water in the pool is the best. Good breakfast. Road works around the property making it far to reach from the port and local market.

Sea La Vie (Nusa Penida), is a beautiful well maintained hotel with modern clean rooms. Staff are very attentive and happy to go above and beyond. Considerng the hotel is far from any restaurants, their food menu is very limited and very little flexibilty to make changes to suit particular dietary needs. The hotel would not suit the elderly or young children, as it is set on a hillside overlooking the harbour / sea and has large steps to negotiate for moving around the hotel. The main strip is a stone throw away, however there is no walking access and the taxi ride takes 15 minutes and costs 150k idr each way. The access road is single lane and not maintained or any regards given to it by the topend hotels that use it, therefore taxis are very reluctant to take the fare or charge a premium. Overall a reasonable hotel, but personal opinion is it would be better to stay at an accommodation close to the eastern side of the harbour, for ease of access to shops, restaurants and taxis.

Wonderful views from the front row villas, room service, good wifi, attentive staff and snorkeling tours right from their private “dock” were all highlights. Yes, access to the property was an adventure (we only left the property via boat while we were there for 4 nights) and certain details were a little rough around the edges but par for the course for not being a large western branded property. Call to prayer from the nearby mosque 5 times a day is very apparent especially at 4am (yes not kidding, and it lasts upwards of 30mins each time), the resort provided ear plugs but we were still a little jet lagged and up at that time anyways so went with the flow… overall we went in knowing what to expect based on other reviews and had an enjoyable stay! A unique experience for sure!

Lovely hotel but not for the immobile as on a cliff side so very steep stairs to reception area

Our hotel room was superb, location from hotel has beautiful views of the beach. The pool and pool bar is great to buy drinks. Nice beach club vibe, very chill music and a place to relax and recuperate. We did not really like the menu, found it limiting. You need some type of transport to get around anywhere, such as shops. Short access to nearby restaurants/shops is off track and involves some climbing. Fair amount of fitness required.
