Umah Ilu Island Retreat Penida

Amazing places, the staff was super friendly and helpful

The location is really beautiful and has an amazing view, it is very close to beach clubs and the Main Street with restaurants etc. Hosts were very kind and helpful. We rented a bike on the premises and they pick you up at the harbour for free.

The room is really dark and humid, it really needs some renovation. The bathroom was quite scary at night time as it is partly outside in the open and the loo is in yet a different room that is dark and damp. From the pictures it seems really bright and almost new but it does not correspond to reality. The door from the room to the bathroom area kept jamming and did not open smoothly we had to force it each time. Really damp and smells of humidity. It was not comfortable but could become very nice if renovated.

The staffs were very friendly. The property are well cleaned up. We were told that there aren't any restaurant nearby but the staff let us know some restaurants that are providing delivery services. There are going to be some mosquitos but mosquito nets are provided.

The location is quite remote.

The concept

Nothing

The location is away from the rush and crowd nestled in the hills covered with lush green cover of trees and gives a perfect view of the forest cover below the resort and the sea as well, the staff is very courteous and helpful. However the only draw back is that one needs a scooty or car to travel down to the market or cafes and restaurants etc.

They only serve breakfast and that too with limited option of 4 types of breakfast and no options of lunch or dinner is there at the resort. Also the main door of the cottage is not having a proper lock which if given would give an extra sense of security to the guest who come to stay.

A nice place but didn't meet our requirements. A little self contained and away from the beach and beach side restaurants. The place description and other reviews had already mentioned these points, so no complaints. Great host and staff, as helpful as can be. Would greatly benefit with the addition of a pool maybe? And if the villas had windows that opened up to the great views from their high perches and not just opening into the internal courtyards.

The staff, especially Wayan, was extremely kind, sweet and attentive to our needs. We had to change accommodation last minute and they picked us up without additional cost. They even apologized for not serving us welcome (coconut) drinks and promised to give it the next day which Wayan did! The room was immense and yes, the bathroom too!! Everything was clean and perfect!!!

The location is far from the main road as it is on top of a hill but they bring you for free to the main road or restaurant of choice!

Fab rooms, especially the loft bit

quiet at night, not really far away from the street but trees help cut the noise, really nice crew, help us alot. the property provides scooter rental, good price and very convenient, n breakfast is really good, could be on service really early if u wanna go snorkeling. really like the style of the house, each room is in seperate little house so no worries for any noise. nearly no mosquitoes at all, relaxing!

Beautiful cottages and the garden Very peaceful and clean great breakfast and service

Location is a bit off, but very beautiful
