The Amrita - Salt Farm Villas

the location was beautiful

not clean no daily cleaning service poor quality of meal

We had a beautiful stay at The Amrita, nicer than we expected. The space was very generous, very confortable beds. such a treat to take a shower under coconut trees, hearing the ocean.

there are a lot of ants, but that's not unusual in Bali.

Quiet location with direct beachfront access, lovely pool, working salt farm in front of property, nice Balinese ambience to accommodation, indoor/outdoor bathroom

The place and staff

Bit far from Amed

We liked the spacious room and our front porch, the lovely friendly staff, chats about Balinese language and culture, the ocean view, beautiful gardens and pool, sunrise and the daily salt-farming operations, continuing a hundreds of years old tradition. The included breakfast was great, All meals were great, made with ingredients sourced fresh daily. WiFi was strong with a big range! Close local shop for chips and drinks. We appreciated the long hours of gorgeous sunshine

One of us would have appreciated a softer pillow option. Wine at the villa was Balinese, and only by the bottle. No wine available in local shops. No money changers available in the area. Quite a walk to larger supermarkets, smaller ones are fairly close. There are 2 & 4 wheel transport options.

The staff is great : a very warm welcome and always very kind and helpful. The owner is also a fine person and I took pleasure dealing with anyone. The room we had was the family : it is huge and very comfortable. Yes the house is semi open so you'll get gecko and some ants but we did encouteranyting bad in the room (haven't seen any mosquitos !). The noise of the waves that seems to be in the roo made us sleep so well! The food is also quite good and seems rather fresh. A nice little selection of local and western menu The amenities are basic but quite ok : the swimming pool is good and we enjoyed spending full day at the hotel, in a quite atmosphere The location is a bit remote but you can easily drive a scooter around, the traffic is far from what we see in south Bali. Also, tne team will help you by finding what you need. Right on a rocky beach, swimming is not ideal but possible depending the tide. Sunsets are, however, awsome. Tours to nearby attractions, including day trip to lovina (dolphin, snorkel) is also possible

The lights are a little bit weak, outside and inside, make it difficult to read at night. The family room could also accomodate a little more furniture outside : hammock or lazy stuffs. A more exhaustive and accurate list of activities can also be made. Looks likethe list we received was a bit outdated. Last, the Amrita could play the salt farm card a little more, for exemple, display the products somewhere ? Or better, a littlewelcome gift with samples from the farm
