Anandinii Resort Sidemen by AGATA

I had the pleasure of staying for 2 nights at Anandinii. My bungalow was right in front of the river and it felt like camping but in a comfortable bed. The acoustics and the atmosphere was wonderful. Right next to the bungalow is the Yoga place that belongs to Anandinii and the restaurant. The room is very clean and the restaurant offered me free flowing drinking water (no minimarkt nearby). I highly recommend to try some vegan dishes from the restaurant even if you are not vegan 🙏 I also booked the cooking class and learnt how to make Balinese dishes with a vegan twist. The staff was really great and made sure I had a great time.

The only thing that could be improved is the communication with the kitchen that got 3 out of my 4 orders wrong. Especially when it comes to dietary needs such as gluten free options. The food is amazing but maybe the staff could double check if the order is right BEFORE bringing out the plates (instead of removing plates after serving them). Maybe better than bringing incorrect orders out and make the guests do the double check themselves. Also the pool in the picture is still under construction and doesn't exist yet. Customers are entitled for free use of the Cepik Villa pool instead (5 minutes walk). Also there is a flat screen TV listed. However, the bungalow I was given, does not have a TV. People who booked the yoga class constantly walk by the bungalow and take pictures of the river which minimizes the feeling of privacy.

Das Zimmer am Fluss war wunderschön und friedlich! Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und das Personal hat sich wunderbar um mich gekümmert. Das Essen im Restaurant war einzigartig!

As vegans this was beyond brilliant. A fully vegan restaurant and great breakfast options. We stayed before the main area was complete and I suspect it will be even nicer.

It's hard to criticise really. The room we had was small and cosy, maybe a teeny bit cramped for some people's style. But it was clear the main hotel is on the way and will be even better. We'll be back!

Amazing vegan food and cooking class.

There was a gekko in our room which was very loud during the night. Otherwise it was ok.

This is like a little peace of paradise on earth! Truly beautiful. Excellent service and very accommodative. They went above and beyond to please us. We realized they were a vegan place once there, and we cannot eat tempe or tofu because of the estrogen. They were super kind and let us have breakfast at their other property, Cepik Villas. They also let us use the swimming pool area over there.

Privacy. Unfortunately, the room is located right next to the massage and yoga space. And there's always people coming and going right in front of the room, which has glass doors. We felt very uncomfortable with people looking inside all the time, guests as well as employees. Even inside the bathroom. I've been looked at and smiled at while shampooing. We were in underwear or naked and had people looking in. Room insulation. The room is not insulated so mosquitoes come in and out is also not sound proof. You can hear the construction going on next door as well as people talking in the yoga space as if they would be inside the room, since early in the morning.
