Guest Reviews
- Thilo (4/5): - Das Hotel ist etwas außerhalb von Amed es war sehr ruhig abends das schönste war das Riff zum schnorcheln und es gab im Umkreis einige sehr schöne Warungs Wir hatten uns das Hotel nach den guten Bewertungen auf Booking ausgesuch das können wir leider nicht bestätigen wir hatten den Bungalow Nr.21 der leider ein kleines Kakerlaken Problem hatte die ersten 2 Tage waren waren sie nur im Bad. Nach unsere Bitte um ein gründliche Reinigung wurde es dann noch schlimmer jetzt hatten wir auch einige im Zimmer. Wir hatten eigentlich 5 Tage gebucht sind aber dann nach 3 Tagen abgereist weil auch der Rest vom Hotel nicht wirklich unseren Vorstellungen entsprach.Das Restaurant sah auch sehr in die Jahre gekommen aus. Das Frühstück war nichts besonders aber mit dem könnte man leben und am Pool und am Strand gab es keine Auflagen auf den Liegen. Auch das Personal war nicht sonderlich bemüht.Wir können das Hotel nicht weiter empfehlen.
- "JAN" (8/5): Schönes Strandhotel - Schöner Strandabschnitt, perfekt zum Schnorcheln und Touren mit Fischern etwas in Jahre gekommen aber nicht wirklich störend
- Robert (10/5): -
- Ludivine (6/5): Belle vue mer depuis le restaurant mais chambre très peu qualitative. - L’emplacement près de la mer, le restaurant était très bon. 150€ pour deux nuits, avec malheureusement de fortes odeurs dans les WC. Pas de pression dans la douche et une somme astronomique pour une réservation de scooter. Nous avons été moins bien accueilli dans cet hôtel… Nous regrettons un peu d’être venu ici. Petit déjeuné avec un choix limité.
- Rachel (7/5): A great budget friendly beachfront holiday! - The nice sandy beachfront location is ideal with great snorkelling right out the front. Definitely the nicest beach of Amed. The gardens & surrounds are well maintained, rooms are clean, quiet & comfortable & the pool offered good shaded areas. The breakfast was basic but more than adequate, although sadly the buffet options were often needing to be asked to be replenished. It should be noted the hotel is located away from the main shopping, cafe & restaurant district, transport is needed to get around! A few small local shops, bike hire & a minimart are walking distance however.
This did not concern our family, as we chose this property for its beach & overall this was a great hotel for us.
- OLIVIER (10/5): - Location and cottage was well maintain Breakfast selection was limited
- Jo (9/5): Excellent value - The location is great . Food wonderful. Staff good My bathroom stunk , no other way to say it . But apart from that it was good
- Guus (8/5): Aanrader - Mooie goed onderhouden mooie tuin, vriendelijk personeel, schone kamers, vriendelijke eigenaar Verlichting te felle lampen . De gerechten waren geïmproviseerd
- Christa (9/5): Hübsche Bungalowanlage direkt am Strand - Die Hidden Paradise Cottages sind eine hübsche Bungalowanlage direkt am Strand. Man kam direkt vor der Haustür schwimmen und schnorcheln.
Im Restaurant hat uns nicht nur das Essen gut gefallen, sondern auch der Blick aufs Meer.
Die Bungalows waren gut ausgestattet. Uns hat nichts gefehlt.
Wir bedanken uns bei dem sehr hilfsbereiten und freundlichen Personal, das uns den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht hat. Bei Regen war es im Badezimmer sehr rutschig!
- Chloe (10/5): Good for the soul! Great people. Massages and snorkeling. Plus yummy food! - Beautiful people who ran it Nothing.
- Lianne (10/5): Beautiful relaxing stay in a true Hidden Paradise - We felt welcomed by the owner, managers and staff just beautiful friendly people. Fabulous location on Lipah Beach with snorkelling with tropical creatures including sea turtles straight from the beach! Beautiful clean deep pool, luscious gardens meticulously kept. Great breakfast included. Restaurant food some of the best we had during our Amed stay. Suksma 🙏 All good 😊
- Katharina (9/5): Very relaxing with friendly helpful staff - Restaurant accessibility and service very good. Pool lovely and clean.. The unfriendliness of French tourists
- natasja (6/5): - Locatie is prima voor de dolfijn tour. Kan je bij het hotel regelen. Dit was de enige plek waar we geweest zijn in Bali waar men een toeslag vroeg voor het betalen met kaart ?! Dichtbij is er een heel goed klein lokaal restaurantje warung Bambu. Kan je heel goed eten. Toeslag voor betalen met kaart
- Ursula (10/5): -
- Scott (10/5): - My knew favourite place in Bali .Snorkelling with turtles right off the beach outfront .The restaurant is exceptional as well as the staff.The rooms are clean and in excellent condition for a oldish hotel. The hotel grounds and pool area are amazing. I will definitely be back. Nothing to not like
- Adam (10/5): Our stay was perfect, great staff, good pool and good room. -
- Minimin (7/5): - Great location, nice sea water , safe for kids.
- Foo Shen (7/5): Good beach and restaurant but lobby is old - I like that in front of the hotel there are nice corals. The pool is also very modern. The chef at the restaurant is very good. I love the food at the restaurant. Also near the hotel, there's Devara Spa which is pretty nice. It's also close to a lot of dive spots so it's nice. The hotel lobby is very old and doesn't look nice. The owner should modernize the lobby to make it look better. Also, when we entered the room there were some flies. The owner should spray first before guests come in. When we entered, the floor felt dirty and the sheets weren't clean. Only after we asked the staff to clean then they started to clean. Hope the owner sees this review and improved on quality. Especially the lobby, I don't like it
- Alain (10/5): Eine Woche in wunderbarem Ambiente und bestem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! - Sehr sauberer Strand in allernächster Nähe. Super zum Schnorcheln! Keine Strömungen und oft gute Sichtverhältnisse.
Das Frühstück liess keine Wünsche offen (reichhaltig, grosse Auswahl). Selbstgebackenes Brot und selbst hergestelltes Joghurt.
Wir haben jeden Abend dort gegessen. Super Küche! Sehr freundliche Bedienung!
Auch unser Zimmer liess keine Wünsche offen. Dasselbe gilt für das sehr schöne "Freiluftbad".
- Sandra (8/5): -
- Kylie (10/5): Very relaxing place to base yourself for snorkeling - Perfect location for snorkeling, also lovely and quiet. The pool is nice, the restaurant was great and we ate almost all meals there. Very relaxing and chill place. The water pressure in the shower is nonexistent! But there are handy showers by the pool to get the salt and sand off.
- John (9/5): -
- Ekaterina (10/5): - Чистота, красота, заботливый персонал, вкусные блюда в ресторане, чудесный вид из ресторана.
- Tatiana (10/5): Релакс в уютном саду у моря - Отель очень понравился. Бронировали большой семейный номер на четверых человек. Номер просторный, удобный, два кондиционера, два душа. Вода в душе горячая, хватает на всех. Прекрасный вид из панорамных окон. По два больших полотенца на человека. Хороший бассейн, есть место на лежаках под деревьями в тени. Выход прямо на пляж, можно идти сразу в купальниках.
Завтраки интересные, с местными лакомствами, и блюда из яиц на выбор. Очень вкусные фрукты, соки. От души наелись манго, ананасов, папайи и арбузов.
Персонал внимательный и доброжелательный.
Территория очень красивая, ухоженная, лежаки на пляже в тени деревьев.
Снорклинг прямо с берега, коралловый риф частично разрушен, но посмотреть кое-что можно. Видели черепаху.
Все понравилось, провели время с удовольствием. Все прекрасно
- Rachel (6/5): Great location but ruined by massage lady. - The location is amazing. Right on the beach but away from the main road so noise is minimal. The linen and towels were a bit stained but they were clean. The staff were lovely but the massage lady ruined the trip for us. She would wait for us to come out our room to ask if we wanted massages then mutter under her breath when we said no. She would also harass us and other guests so much so that one of the guests shouted “NO” at her. She still continued to harass, even waking me asking again for what must have been the 7th time on a 3 day stay. She should have just had a sign up and let people go to her. For this reason and this reason only, I wouldn’t stay there again. She made the trip uncomfortable.
- Imelda (6/5): -
- verdeckt (10/5): Geniale Bungalow's am Lipah-Beach - Toller Bungalow, groß, alles da, was man braucht, wunderschönes "Außen"-Badezimmer, mega Terasse! Meine Erwartungen entsprechend er Beschreibung wurden voll erfüllt oder sogar übertroffen. Ich war auch sehr froh, diesen Ort im Bereich Amed gebucht zu haben, da auch der Strand wirklich toll war, im Vergleich zu anderen, die ich gesehen habe! In der näheren Umgebung gibt es einige Shops, Warungs, Spa-Angebote etc. Schnorchel-Equipment konnte man direkt am Strand ausleihen. In der Anlage selbst gibt es ein Restaurant, dort wurde auch das Frühstück serviert. Ich habe mich rundum wohlgefühlt!
- Wouter (10/5): -
- Pam (10/5): - Simple, friendly local resort right on a great snorkelling beach. Walk across the sand into water full of fish, coral, turtles and rays. Restaurant has delicious food all day. Very restful easy few days. Local fishermen will take you around a few coves to snorkel the Japanese WWII shipwreck which is covered in beautiful coral. In a very small village with little amenity. Can’t walk to the bigger town of Amed. The food is so good at Hidden Valley you won’t need to leave tho!
- Chantelle (2/5): Do not recommend this hotel we checked out early - Only the beachfront location Roos very not clean bathroom smelled like sewer and toilet was dirty and awful
- Mirjam+Geert (8/5): - Heerlijk strand met prachtig koraal voor de deur..je loopt de zee in en staat meteen in een aquarium!
De huisjes hebben voldoende privacy en luxe! Niets, er zijn genoeg winkels en restautantjes dichtbij en je huurt er gemakkelijk een scooter om de omgeving te verkennen.
- Rahel (7/5): -
- Kayla (10/5): Such a lovely peaceful stay in Amed! - Great staff! Beautiful room and grounds. Bed and pillows were comfy (comes with bug net for the bed which was a plus - no issues with mosquito bites in the room), open air bathroom was so pretty. Direct access to the black sand beach with beautiful clear water and locals offering snorkel tours. Restaurant on-site (great food!) and breakfast included was such a nice touch. WiFi in the room worked great on my phone but I didn’t try on my computer. However, there was WiFi at the restaurant (slow on my computer but worked well on my phone).
Overall, it was such a lovely peaceful stay! The only small thing is the slow wifi on the computer since I needed it for work. But that’s it!
- SANDRINE (10/5): -
- Anouchka (8/5): Unieke ligging aan zee, goed restaurant, mooi huisje, hele lieve medewerkers - Het hotel lag op een unieke locatie, pal aan zee Vaak geen warm water of helemaal geen water.
- Darin (3/5): Over rated - Nice sandy beach, more so about 50 metres to right of the resort .Restaurant has nice sea view. Scooter rental are available from lobby. These cottages are quite old , in need of refresh, beds are hard. Mold in shower area, no tv , no clothes rack ,swimming pool small, with no view to sea .They don't supply snorkelling gear .At check out they charge us for 7 instead of 5 beers , but not worth arguing about. Their rates for rooms are way overpriced . There are many other cheaper accommodation in Amed and better . There are some good eating places , little supermarkets, etc with in walking distance but main centre you will need a bike or taxi.
- Catherine (10/5): Bel hôtel avec bungalows en bord de plage - Face à la mer, calme, très propre, chambre spacieuse et très jolie, jolie salle d’eau. Personnel attentif et aimable. Joli décor, belle piscine. Calme. Bonne nourriture et bon petit déjeuner C’est assez loin du centre d’Amed. Ça en fait le charme (pas de bruit) mais à prendre en compte si on veut sortir le soir par ex
- Marie (8/5): Très bien ! - Nous avons aimé le logement qui était confortable ( sauf la literie, un peu mal au dos ) et avait tout ce qu'il faut ! Restaurant très bon et une vue extraordinaire, emplacement top. Service laudru au top et location de scooter efficace ! . Pas de ménage fait pendant notre séjour, pas de nouvelle bouteille d'eau.
- Jasper Dröge (7/5): - Met het koraal direct aan het strand maakt het de locatie top! We hadden het achterste verblijf, wat erg gehorig was. Ook viel het ontbijt wat tegen en waren er te weinig strandbedjes aanwezig.
- Leeana (9/5): Lovely resort on a quiet bea - The beach was rich in front of the restaurant and had a decent reef for snorkeling. The affiliated dive center, EuroDive is exceptional.
Our bathroom was amazing; outdoor shower and stone tub. The room itself was large with plenty of room to spread out.
Restaurant makes an effort to accommodate dietary restrictions. It was a little pricey, but our room was quite large.
- Karin (10/5): - Der Bungalow war genial. Wunderschöne Hotelanlage.
Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal.
Sehr gutes und vielseitiges Frühstück.
- Katalin (8/5): - Traumhafte Lage etwas außerhalb von amed, Lipah Beach mit wundervollen und leicht erreichbaren Riff direkt vor der Haustüre. Einfach traumhaft.
Der Garten und ie gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und wird permanent instand gehalten. Der Pool ist sauber und angenehm.
Frühstücksbuffet ist gemischt asiatisch & amerikanisch (europäisch), nicht soooo üppig, aber täglich mit Obst, Joghurt, Säfte, Brot, Butter und man kann sich auch von der Frühstückkarte z.b Eierspeisen, Frenchtoast usw bestellen. Also absolut ausreichend. Der Kaffee hat meinen Geschmack nicht getroffen.
Die Zimmer selber sind cool aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Kühlschrank und Klima vorhanden. Alles in allem würde ich wieder in dem Hidden cottage Paradies unterkommen. Der Kaffee... Doch der Instant Kaff, wasan täglich aufs Zimmer bekommt hat uns gerettet 😂
- Ronaldus (8/5): -
- Willice (10/5): Wonderful and beautiful. The bathrooms are very spacious. - Perfect location right on the beach. Everything was excellent and staff were very helpful. Nothing
- Adam (6/5): - Bardzo dobre jedzenie i genialna lokalizacja z bezpośrednim dostępem do morza. Miła i pomocna obsługa oraz zadbana przestrzeń. Pełno komarów w domkach ze względu na prześwity między ścianami i dachem. Baldachimy też nic nie dawały, bo były dziurawe. Z tego samego powodu słychać o czym inni rozmawiają w sąsiednich domkach. Słaby internet, rozłącza co chwilę. Dodatkowo raz nie działał niemal całą dobę.
- Catherine (10/5): It is a paradise.we loved it - Everything. The setting, the staff, the location for snorkelling, the food in the restaurant and nearby. We will be back. Highly recommend this place. Nothing
- Pietro (9/5): Ottimo soggiorno ad Amed - Bungalow ampio, ben pulito, grande zanzariera sul letto, fornelletto per tavolette anti zanzare. Bollitore con thece caffè, 2 bottiglie di acqua riempite ogni giorno. Bagno esterno con doccia calda. I bungalows sono in un giardino ombreggiato. La piscina è un po' piccola ma pulita e con lettini per riposare all'ombra, ottima quando c'è bassa marea o mare mosso. Molto buona la colazione.
Il ristorante si affaccia sulla spiaggia, e propone ottimi piatti indonesiani e balinesi.
La struttura si affaccia direttamente sulla spiaggia, alcuni lettini a disposizione, dove si può nuotare in sicurezza. Camminando fino all'estremità della spiaggia si può fare snorkeling sulla barriera corallina in una zona ricca di pesci da barriera e con mte tartarughe.
- Annelies (9/5): Prachtige rustige locatie om te snorkelen - Mooi complex met prachtig verzorgde tuin (je kunt zien dat er veel aandacht aan wordt besteed)
Het complex ligt aan het strand en het mooie is dat direct een koraalrif ligt waar je prachtig kunt snorkelen (veel vis en ook zijn er schildpadden te zien)
Prima zwembad en eigen restaurant met goede prijs- kwaliteit verhouding. De vis voor het restaurant wordt direct van het strand van de vissers gekocht!
Het personeel is vriendelijk en erg behulpzaam.
Diverse warungs in de omgeving. Het kluisje was lastig te bedienen dus we kregen een sleutel om deze te gebruiken. Dit liep niet vlekkeloos en 1,5 uur voor vertrek bleek de kluis met onze paspoorten er in niet meer open te kunnen! Stress al om. Het lukte pas een derde personeelslid om de kluis te openen..,
De locatie ligt buiten het centrum van Amed, er is buiten het snorkelen om direct niet veel te beleven of je moet een excursie doen/ taxi regelen
De wegen naar de locatie zijn niet heel top.
- Leen (8/5): Leuk verblijf - De bbq met de locals die we op het strand hebben gedaan. Snorkeltocht met de prawn. Onze huis gecko! Geen parasol of douche op het strand, geen ligkussen op de strandstoel.
- ELODIE (8/5): Superbe hôtel très bien situé, personnel très serviable - J'ai adoré la localisation de cet hôtel : au pied d'une jolie petite plage, avec snorkelling possible au départ de la plage en nageant un peu, location de materiel sur la plage, donc très facile. Superbe hotel, jolie piscine, bel environnement vert, calme, tranquille, restaurant très chouette en bord de plage, personnel serviable. Les chambres sont confortables, grandes avec une petite terrasse avec transats, jolie salle de bain.
De plus, j'avais oublié mon maillot de bain sur place, et le personnel a tout fait pour me le faire parvenir rapidement dans la nouvelle ville où j'étais ! Encore merci pour cette attention ! Dans ma chambre, plusieurs petits inconvénients, la ventilation qui ne marchait pas, pb de wc qui fuyaient (la chasse d'eau ne s'arretait pas, rien de plus), et problème de bonde dans le lavabo. Un ensemble de petites choses, le personnel a été très rapide pour venir réparer au plus vite ce qui pouvait l'être. Donc petits désagréments mais vite pris en charge. Cela ne nous a pas empêché de passer un bon moment dans l'hôtel.
- david (9/5): -
- Nozimakhon (5/5): - Location is good, there are many good restaurants nearby, beach is great to swim and to snorkel. 🤿
Beautiful garden I didn’t like the food in hotel restaurant at all. It was NOT good. It was actually bad. The breakfast was also disappointing. We had a room with breakfast included and ended up having breakfast in other restaurants nearby with great selection and so delicious food.
So many mosquitoes in the room, lizards actually inside the room. One was on our ceiling and pooped OMG . It fell from the ceiling right on our floor. It was a lot. We were with a baby, it is not hygienic at all. We said about it to the staff and they just say “yeah it’s normal” . So, think twice if it’s normal for you.
The toilet was dirty and disgusting to use.
- Siegel (2/5): Schlaflos - Das Bücherregal
Das Moskitonetz Kaputte Fenster
Die Tür schloss nicht
Die Toilettebrille muß unbedingt getauscht werden.
Der Kühlschrank im Zimmer glich eher einem Brutkasten für Bakterien.
Ein riesiges Mücken Problem
Abhängigkeit I'm Hotel Essen zu müssen
Extrem laut von der straße her
- Pia (10/5): Waren zum zweiten Mal da und werden wieder kommen. - Eine wunderbare kleine, ältere Anlage mit ganz viel Charme direkt am Sandstrand, was in der Gegend eine Besonderheit ist. Eingewachsener Garten, grün, üppig und überall Blüten. Herrlich! Entspannte Atmosphäre. Wer es hochglanzmäßig, neu und geleckt mag wird nicht ganz happy sein. Hier wohnen eher Herz und Charme und Entspannung.
Direkter Schnorcheleinstieg am Strand.
- guy (6/5): Moyen par rapport à d’autres établissements au même tarif - Les chambres étaient correctes. Le jardin et la piscine. L’espace restaurant. Vieillot et pas très propre. La plage pas entretenue.
- Catherine (8/5): - The bungalows are nice
The beach is a few meters away The restaurant food and particularly the breakfast
- AMBRE (10/5): -
- Olivier (9/5): -
- jean-pierre (9/5): - Bon restaurant sans chichi et royaux petits déjeuners. Demander les chambres qui se terminent par un petit chiffre car si se termine par 4 ou 5 alors vous seriez proche de la route. Peut-être un peu de vis-à-vis qui oblige à baisser les rideaux pour l'intimité, sinon ras
- Dirk (7/5): - Die kleine Anlage liegt direkt an Strand. Man kann von dort schnorcheln gehen und sieht Korallen, viele bunte Fische und sogar Schildkröten. Es ist nicht besonders sauber und die Bungalows sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Frühstück ist lieblos.
- Rien (9/5): We hebben genoten van het rif, de schildpadden en het hotel. - De locatie. Aan het strand. Mooie tuin. Kleinschalig. Weinig bedjes aan het strand. Waterdruk bij douche was te laag.
- Oumane (4/5): - Très déçue par cet hôtel!!!
Points positifs : excellente localisation - accès direct à la plage de Lipah et des spots de Snorkeling
Points négatifs : le petit déjeuner est le pire que j’ai eu à Bali, les bungalows nécessiteraient un coup de rafraîchissement. J’avais demandé un grand lit mais ai eu 2 lits jumeaux. Le staff a essayé de rapprocher les lits mais c’était très loin d’être confortable. Par ailleurs, la chambre est infestée de moustiques - les produits répulsifs mis à disposition n’ont pas suffit
- oksana (10/5): - действительно райский уголок, тишина, спокойствие, потрясающая зеленая территория, огромная кровать с балдахином в номере, в номере все необходимое, телевизора нет но нам он и не нужен был, аутентичная ванная комната с открытым небом, вежливый, доброжелательный улыбчивый персонал. вкусные завтраки и блюда в ресторане, даже нам вегетарианцам находилось достойно что поесть, уютный пляж.
- audrey (8/5): Bon point de chute les pieds dans l’eau avec snorkeling depuis la plage - Petit hôtel de charme, simple, familial, situé sur la plage de Lipah avec très bon spot de snorkeling à proximité immédiate. Très bon accueil, propre, personnel agréable et efficace. Belle salle de bain extérieure avec douche bien chaude. Belle petite terrasse devant la chambre. Jardins très beaux. Restauration très bonne avec vue sur la plage. Belle piscine et plage agréable avec très bon spot de snorkeling. Petit plus très appréciable, L’hôtel met à disposition le produit et la moustiquaire pour éviter les piqûres de moustiques. Mobilier de la chambre à bout de souffle. Bruit de la route principale audible mais aussi des coqs (à notre avis pareil pour tous les hôtels du coin) et plus discret mais présent du jardinier qui arrose le jardin ou balaie les allées très tôt mais c’est ce qui le rend si beau. Pas grand chose à proximité immédiate donc déplacements motorisés nécessaires.
L’hôtel nous a orienté vers les vendeurs de plage pour le snorkeling. Nous n’avons pas apprécié notre excursion snorkeling avec le vendeur de plage le plus proche de l’hôtel. Celle-ci s’est révélée chère au regard de l’itinéraire effectivement réalisé et nous avons trouvé le vendeur qui nous a accompagné désagréable tout du long de celle-ci. Cela a un peu gâché notre séjour.
Pareil pour se déplacer. Avons trouvé le prix des taxis (monopole sur Amed, pas de Grab) beaucoup trop élevé au regard de la distance. Les principaux spots de snorkeling sont également accessibles par les plages en scooter. Ce sera notre prochaine option si nous revenons.
- Sophie (8/5): Bon hôtel de plage - Très beau bungalow familial, vue sur la piscine et la mer. restaurant donnant sur la plage. Belle plage pour snorkeling entouré de club de plongée (vraiment à faire) Accès à la chambre tardif.
Un peu excentré du centre d’Amed
Route pour y accéder pas terrible
- Noesja (7/5): Fijne plek, zeker als je (kleine) kinderen hebt. - De locatie zo aan het strand met ook het restaurant is geweldig. Lekker rustig! Voor de deur kun ie direct snorkelen. De loslopende zwerfhonden die ook veel het restaurant en het complex op kwamen.
- Perrine (10/5): -
- ARRATE (9/5): - Ubicación, bonito snorkel en frente del hotel. Buen desayuno. El baño precioso. Nos dieron una habitación cerca de la carretera, se escucha el ruido, pero no ha sido un gran problema.
- Chrystelle (9/5): -
- Peter (9/5): Lipah Beach - Hidden Paradise Cottages is the full package - location, facilities, staff and food. We'll be back next year. Poor Internet! Bali even more than most locations REQUIRES a strong connection. During our 5 days a fair connection was normal but no Internet happened for hours at a time. This why my rating was 9 not 10/10.
- Nick (9/5): Lovely place, accommodation, location and great staff. - Karma Loka is south of the Amed beach area and quieter. The property is right on the beach and the lovely, open restaurant overlooks the beach. The villas are private from each other, roomy and comfortable. The bed is *huge! The AC is great and kept the room very comfortable at all times, while there is a little porch with chairs and table out the front. The bathroom works well except that it’s hard to get hot water - but we found this to be the same everywhere we stayed in Indonesia. The staff are very friendly, polite and super-helpful at all times. There is a one-day laundry service that is cheap, handy and leaves your clothes smelling sweet. I *thoroughly recommend the restaurant - the included breakfast was lovely and plentiful, while other meals were delicious and reasonably priced (we ate mainly Balinese/Indonesian style). I recommend this property.
- Allison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deborah (9/5): Beachside convenience in a beautiful setting. - I thoroughly enjoyed my staff at Hidden Paradise Cottages on Lipah beach, Amed.
The large rooms are very well equipped with luxurious outdoor bathrooms. Each bungalow feels separate enough to allow privacy even on the front veranda overlooking the beautiful gardens.
The restaurant overlooks the beach from which you can swim or snorkel safely. There were other bars and restaurants in the local area, but I didn't feel the need to visit them as the menu at Hidden Paradise was extensive and varied enough for me.
This was probably my favourite accommodation on Bali. It provided everything I needed, and I would love to return. This was the most expensive accommodation that I stayed in on Bali (over a period of 2.5 weeks and 7 locations). With so much competition along the coast this is surprising. However, the accommodation and environment are of a high standard so as a Western tourist, I think this is the going rate. It was worth it.
- Lara (10/5): Great restaurant, great snorkeling, and lovely rooms! - Incredible location on the beach beside the best snorkeling of our lives. Truly fantastic restaurant and best breakfast ever. Beautiful rooms and great swimming pool. Nothing.
- Garth (8/5): Great location, needs better pre-checkin service. - The beach side location with snorkelling right off the beach was amazing. Also Liam, one of the managers, was great to interact with in the restaurant. We didn’t like the fact that our specific requests were completely ignored even though these were regularly communicated over a 6 month period. We constantly got responses of “noted” but on check in none of these requests were honoured. Other than this inconvenience it was a great stay.
The lady on the beach constantly pushing for massages is a bit annoying. She should back off if you say no and not continue to pressure and annoy you.
- Narelle (10/5): Fantastic as always❤️ - Everything❤️ Nothing
- David (10/5): Hidden Paradise is PARADISE. - Hidden Paradise is an absolute gem. Beautiful room, lovely gardens, pool, beach front location, but most of all, beautiful staff. We felt instantly at home. We spent our 12 days swimming, snorkelling ( lots of fish, healthy coral and turtles!) in clean watersand enjoying morning and evening walks either along the beach or the road. We really enjoyed the food at Hidden Paradise but there are many little nearby warungs and cafes that are also great. We have been to Bali many times and are glad we have now found THE best, for us anyway , part of Bali. Beautiful setting, not ruined by too much development. Nothing. It truly delivers a wonderful experience to escape a South Australian winter!
- Anders (10/5): Trevligt hotell - Trevligt hotell. Väldigt lugnt område, fanns inte så mycket att göra. Vägarna väldigt dåliga i hela Amed.
- Joanne (8/5): Overall a good value mini paradise - Breakfast was plentiful and good with quite a few cooked options, along with fruit salad, toast, yoghurt, juice, and tea/ coffee.
Overall, the hotel provided good value for money, right on Lipah beach, with direct access for swimming and snorkelling.
The beds were huge and comfortable, with a vast mosquito net and plug-in repellent.
The restaurant also serves dinner, with the honey ribs and fish satay being our firm favourites.
The pool area was very good, big enough for a decent swim, and good for children to play too.
The barstaff served cocktails, milkshakes, and coconuts to the poolside, which always feels like a bit of a luxury.
The gardens are well maintained and attractive.
All members of the staff are very friendly and approachable.
The useful WiFi was available in all areas onsite. Parts of the premises feel really tired and in need of TLC, or serious updating, for instance little things like the bathroom fittings could do with replacing.
A deep clean of the rooms would feel fresh and wholesome, eg behind drawers and under beds
- diannel579 (10/5): We loved it! - We felt very welcomed to stay at this small family run resort. It is reminiscent of older style Bali cottages that appeal to us, with all the mod cons that are available in Amed. Cottage was basic, very clean and neat with outside blinds for privacy and shade. Water pressure not amazing but same everywhere in that area. Love the indoor/outdoor bathroom with flowering ginger. Staff were all lovely and authentic locals. Breakfast selection was very good and we had dinner at their restaurant a couple of times. A lot of seafoods on offer as you would expect, and all meals were very good. There are other options close by. As well as small supermarkets for random supplies. I would recommend for older couples and adult families, Or those that enjoy a laid back authentic hotel experience. Very relaxing. Thank you and we look forward to coming back soon. We also look forward to your new venture… The Pie Shop 😜. good luck.
- Deb (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marianna (9/5): Calm and relax beach experience - The beach is secluded and you can snorkel right from the hotel. We saw fish, corals and a turtle. The restaurant at the hotel is tasty.
- Martin (7/5): Good - Gardens and swimming pool were lovely. Friendly staff. Cold shower. Basic food.
- Andrew (10/5): Our return stay to paradise - The location is fantastic, right on the beach. The staff are fantastic and friendly and very helpful. Food is very nice and fresh.
The accommodation is comfortable with everything you need. Nothing to report that we dislike
We would love some cushions on the sun lounges for extra comfort.
- Beth (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location for snorkelling off the beach.
Amazing food.
Friendly staff.
Comfortable rooms.
Loved it!
- Antonia (8/5): Loved it here, would absolutely come back to Lipah Beach and Amed. - Location was amazing, beach gorgeous, and free breakfast!! Outdoor bathroom was a bit much, LOTS of caterpillars. But that’s what you sign up for :)
- desviannya (2/5): Bad hotel - We stayed 2 nites here in cottage 14. Hotel old. Toilet dirty and smelly. Shower is less water. First nite we came, no hot water in shower. Staff also unfriendly. Breakfast bad, highly not recommended to stay here. Many new lil hotel surround and still clean n lower price than hiddenparadise. Pls renovate the room...
- Duncan (8/5): Lovely stay... Will be back - Brilliant snorkeling from the private beach leading off the seaside restaurant. Great little bungalows with inside/outside bathrooms. Great showers with good pressure. Very friendly staff. Good value for money stay. Didn't bother us.... But be advised that there are quite a few roosters nearby/on site, that crow quite a bit from about 5am onwards. I sleep with earplugs, so didn't bother me. But it might bother some. Apart from that, lovely facilities on offer.
- Sarah (10/5): Amazing - Beautiful traditional cottages in an incredible beachfront setting, with amazing snorkelling and marine life only steps away.
Beautiful gardens with a lovely pool
Staff were incredibly generous and helpful.
I’m definitely returning !
- mark (10/5): - Just Devine , right on beach ,good menu @ bar ,
nice pool , Just a walk to some dining options;
- Emilie (9/5): I wish I'll be back someday! And I'll bring earplugs! - The location is just amazing, there is few steps from your bungalow to the beach.
The swimming pool is perfect for families with a little side for toddlers and kids.
The restaurant is facing the sea, the menu offers a wide range of occidental and local dishes. Of course, it is good! (try the typical banana pancake with coconut and brown sugar, the grilled fish, the chiken raviolis, chiken sate etc.)
You can snorkel directly on the beach, there is a rental point, and as Amed is well known for that, that is amazing. Fist time I swam with a school of cuttlefish!
Plus, for a day we hired a nanny at nannyamedbali.com and she was lovely. The noise at night. Unfortunately and despite how good our stay was at the hotel, we didn't slept well. There is a bunch of roosters on the neighbour's field and they are literally screaming all night long... I recommend asking for a bungalow located close to the other hotel (on the left when you're facing the sea). You can bring earplugs.
- Adrian (10/5): always again - great location. very friendly people. We have seen turtles every day.
- Javert (7/5): Very relaxing stay, not considering the road it was a very pleasant stay - The staff is by far the best thing here… all very nice and accommodating. The place is nice, beach front and with a chilled vibe. Food is average although breakfast was decent. The road to access this part of town is terrible. All business on this part of town will suffer more and more as people will choose to stay further south and avoid the Swiss cheese type of road leading here.
- Janette (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, great hotel. Best position, staff all excellent, lovely grounds, loved the plants. Restaurant was really good, great menu. Cocktails, yessss. Cleanliness all throughout. Nothing
- Ravi (10/5): Exceptional - Great beachfront property. Clean rooms, friendly staff took care of all of our needs. On-site restaurant served delicious food. The beach was nice, space to lounge, private and staff on hand for anything. 5 stars. We will come back.
- Cody (9/5): Superb -
- Claus (8/5): Lovely place with very accommodating staff - Staff was extremely kind and accommodating - reception, house-keeping, garden and restaurant alike. The beach was clean and access to the sea was easy. The pool was clean and pleasant. We needed a taxi to take us from one side of the island to the other. The hotel arranged this with bravour. Hidden Paradise was about 3 km from down-town Amed so needed a taxi or scooter to bridge this distance. A little inconvenient.
- James (9/5): The name ssys it all. - Staff location pool garden beachfront Absolutely no complaints
- Audrey (10/5): Tres satisfait - Tres bon sejour dans cet hotel.
Bon petit dejeuner, bon restaurant, piscine tres agreable. Parc entretenu. Logement tres agreable et confortable. Personnel tres agreable et souriant. Seul bemol pour la clim tres bruyante car au niveau de la tete de lit.
- Krassimir (10/5): Exceptional -
